IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10pm ET

seawolf17 May 25 2018 02:55 PM

Noah Syndergaard (16-0, 0.56) vs Junior Guerra (who cares) Syndergaard struck out eleven guys -- incredibly, all wearing uniform number 42 -- in his start vs Milwaukee in April: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=26836 Guerra has faced the Mets twice. Gave up one Yo HR in a no-decision in 2016, and pitched six shutout innings for a W in a game last year at Citi.

Nice diving catch by Nommo in LF. A catch that Cepedes, Bruce, and likely Conforto can't make. He gets on base, brings some speed to the line up, is a better defender than most of our outfielders, what does he have to do to get regular playing time once Cespedes is back?

bmfc1 May 26 2018 01:08 AM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

I have complete confidence that Jay Bruce will become good as soon as Sandy trades him to Houston this July.

Frayed Knot May 26 2018 01:30 AM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

Odd game for Noah so far in that he's got a high hit count yet a low pitch count. Usually it's been the other way around his year for NYM hurlers.

Half of me wants Reyes to bunt, even though there's two outs. The other half says Reyes has as much a chance against this guy as anybody. Hit a homer.

bmfc1 May 26 2018 02:20 AM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

Mickey is getting destroyed on Twitter, by writers and fans alike, for pinch-hitting Reyes when Noah had a low pitch count, the Mets have a lot of games coming up (including a DH on Monday where they do not have a SP for game 2) and it's not like Reyes had a great chance of getting hit off Hader (or mostly anyone).

GODDAMMIT. Vaya con dios, Corey. Rosario in a situation where the pitcher has to throw strikes seems like a good deal, no?

bmfc1 May 26 2018 02:43 AM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

Impressive at-bat from Guillorme. For a rookie to keep fighting off pitches and then have the discipline to not swing on ball 4 was a very good sign.

I disagree with the haters vis-a-vis PH'ing against Hader In what may have been their last best chance to tie up the game, did these folks really want their lefty-swinging, .185-career-hitting, star pitcher in there with two outs vs that 95-throwing lefty monster? Not me.

In contrast, Rosario swings wildly at ball 2. He would have been ahead on the count 2-0. Dammit.

We fans tend to only recognize it when it happens against our teams -- ie. Familia two nights ago -- but one run saves are blown more than 20% of the time and tonight it was Mr. Rebel Knebel adding to those stats.

Cabrera our best hitter thus far. Not, necessarily our best base runner. In this case though, it might have been worth being aggressive and trying to get into scoring position for Wilmer. Didn't work out, obviously.

Rockin' Doc May 26 2018 03:25 AM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

Wow, Ramos throws one strike in 9 pitches. They Brewers didn't beat the Mets in the 10th, the Mets simply surrendered by throwing themselves on their sword. Mickey needs to learn that Lugo and Gsellman are his best bullpen options. Blevins appears lost and unreliable. Ramos is generally a lost cause.

Well at that point it wasn't even about Ramos, it was just a choice between Gsellman or Blevins. But once Blevins failed to retire Yelich, Callaway was forced to go one more link down the chain and that's where things went haywire. I wanted him to stick with Gsellman for that one more out and if he gave up an extra base to Yelich (the runner was only on 1st) then I could have lived with it and not second-guessed the decision. I disagreed with those fans yapping about the Syndergaard/Reyes switch, but if they want to carp about this one I'll understand.

To me, it's less Ramos (who, yes, was quite stinky) and more about pulling your starter early and using your two longest relievers early, and so sending yourself into extras with the least of you options available.

bmfc1 May 26 2018 01:37 PM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

This note from Tim Britton in The Athletic didn't make me feel any better: Ramos is being paid more than Addison Reed. So Sandy traded away Reed and didn't resign him but then traded for Ramos who is much, much worse and makes more money. Sandy is an idiot. That Reed ended up signing a deal for less annual money to be a setup man in Minnesota — and that he’s been very good in that role — does not make any of this easier to swallow. https://theathletic.com/369143?shared_by=133087 BTW, Tim Britton does a great job covering The Mets in The Athletic. It's worth the money, especially in an age when The Times is often using AP stories for The Mets.

TransMonk May 26 2018 02:24 PM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

I've personally witnessed too many walk-offs at Miller Park. Friday night wasn't as bad as the Mother's Day game in 2006 (a day game after my bachelor party...my head still hurts) or Tom Glavine's first failed attempt at win #300 in 2007, but losing to a walk-off is no fun. For a casual fan, this game was a good one because it had a little of everything: home runs, decent pitching, some good defense (Nimmos catch was AMAZING!), baserunning blunders, a close score throughout and a thrilling finish. Unfortunately, I'm not a casual fan and was disappointed with the result. The Mets fans in the crowd did get loud in the 9th and even I was dancing in the aisle after Bautista tied it up. The Brewers fans thinned when the game went to extras and I was able to huddle with some Mets fans. We all looked at each other blankly when Blevins then Ramos came in. I think we all knew without saying a word that the win probability was tiny at that point. I had a seat near the Mets on deck circle. I sat next to a man and his two young kids, painfully listening to him give them confident but (in most cases) inaccurate tutelage on how baseball is played. This was my third year in a row seeing a game down near the on deck circle and, man, I feel for Wilmer. I don't know if it is just Milwaukee, but he gets a lot of mean jeering about the crying incident even though it was almost 3 years ago now. Headed back Saturday and Sunday. I am worried about Callaway's bullpen usage with Vargas and Wheeler pitching the next two games and the DH on Monday. With both Hader and Knebel up over 30 pitches last night, my hope is we won't see them on Saturday giving the Mets a better chance against the Milwaukee bullpen.

There have been 12 games this year in which Jerry Blevins has faced one and only one batter. He's gotten his batter out 7 times, once on a strikeout. In the other five games, the batter got a hit three times and twice the batter walked. Those are pretty bad numbers, but I actually thought they'd be worse.

Frayed Knot May 26 2018 06:58 PM Re: IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10p

Noah pulled after 74 pitches? I mean really? A bit of a difference between being "pulled" and being pinch-hit for in a one-run game with 2-outs and the tying run on in the 7th inning. And the bullpen (meaning: Lugo) retired the next six straight so that wasn't a problem either.

Funny, it wouldn't even occur to me that lunkheads would jeer that. That was as manly a moment as they come. I guess they take it as him crying because he was being sent to Milwaukee, as opposed to crying because he was some kid who barely spoke English and knew nothing about American culture except what he'd learned from being in the Mets system since he was 16, and he was being sent to some place he knew nothing about. Midwestern cities have serious inferiority complexes, unless they're Chicago, and they get tetchy when someone snubs them. Cleveland still hasn't let Jonathan Lucroy forget that he vetoed a trade to the Indians in 2016. Wilmer, by the way, looks like he's really turned into a veteran as far as handling the media, based on a quick interview I saw on WPIX. MLB.tv cuts away from SNY the moment a game ends, but occasionally will stay with broadcast TV for five or ten minutes of post-game interviews.
