Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

seawolf17 May 30 2018 12:15 PM

Vargas vs Teheran, which might just be the worst mismatch in the history of baseball. The Braves could score 30 runs tonight.

Lefty Specialist May 30 2018 12:30 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

This is one of those games where Mickey should leave Vargas in for seven innings no matter how badly he's being hammered. Two runs, six runs, fifteen runs, I don't care. Take one for the team, Jason.

This should be a day game, stupid scheduling imo.

I expect nothing here from Vargas and whomever follows him from the bullpen....we are awful

seawolf17 May 30 2018 01:56 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

My lingering forever memory of Teheran will be the Father's Day game at Citi Field a few years back that my kids took me to. The Mets got a hit in the second inning while we were getting food, and nothing the rest of the game. In like the sixth inning, my daughter was like "do the Mets ever get to get a hit?" Sigh.

Ashie62 May 30 2018 02:25 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

I read where Jason Vargas was referred to as a Mets remaining healthy reliable arm after deGrom. Reallly? This team is allergic to prosperity

Edgy MD May 30 2018 02:38 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

I'm not sure where you read that. Looking forward to seeing the 2018 launch of Lugo the Starter.

smg58 May 30 2018 02:44 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Even "healthy" is debatable, the way he's pitched.

Great thread title.

Nymr83 May 30 2018 03:12 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Also, Vargas needs to throw 110 pitches tonight and i don't care how many runs he gives up. The bullpen is fried and needs a break.

No rain slated for tonight in northern Georgia.

cooby May 31 2018 01:02 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Well the Mets are ahead 1-0 after several innings and nobody is here Just saying guys if this is the beginning of a 30 game win streak and no one was here to start the party, you’ll all be sorry...

Frayed Knot May 31 2018 01:05 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Vargas has been both in control (no runs, 2 hits, 1 BB) and efficient (64 pitches thru 5)

Edgy MD May 31 2018 01:05 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Best game of his Mets career so far.

d'Kong76 May 31 2018 01:12 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Lol, so he gets pulled.

Frayed Knot May 31 2018 01:14 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Tim Peterson MLB debut vs Albies - Freeman - Markakis = 1-2-3 on 7 pitches.

Frayed Knot May 31 2018 01:24 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Finally one of those fucking bloops goes our way. Lord knows the Braves have gotten their share of those this series.

Prolly hurt his hanny

Fman99 May 31 2018 01:48 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

He was on short rest and they didn't want the lineup to get a 3rd turn against him, I think, was the guesses that Gary & Keith threw out there.

d'Kong76 May 31 2018 01:52 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Leaving the bases loaded in the 8th not the most comforting feeling.

Fman99 May 31 2018 01:57 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Familia in the 8th? I don't know what Mickey's thinking at this point. Six out save again?

Fman99 May 31 2018 01:59 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Fuck this bullpen, seriously. So done with Familia.

Edgy MD May 31 2018 02:08 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

It's great to see Nimmo and Rosario in the middle of everything tonight. That triple by Rosario earlier was the first time I saw him running 100% out of the box like that. Wow.

Edgy MD May 31 2018 02:12 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Suzuki seems to give his pitcher a target outside the strike zone on every pitch.

Frayed Knot May 31 2018 02:28 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

So for all the crying and rending of clothing over the last week, we went into the homes of two different 1st place clubs for 4 game series and wound up 3-5, the frustrating part is that it could have been lot better seeing as how 3 of the 5 losses were via walk-offs and that the margins in those losses were 1, 1, 1, 1, oh yeah, and 12 And then there's also the minor problem of the 17 new and different injuries plus the house catching on fire while we were away, but there's nothing to be done with those things except to deal with them as they come up and move on. Game tomorrow.

Edgy MD May 31 2018 02:43 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Yeah, they were ahead in seven of eight. And they're still within spitting distance. Nothing that can't be righted. Not sure I particularly follow Callaway's mindset at all, but there's nothing that can't be righted. And this road trip can be remembered as (among other things) the period when Brandon Nimmo made it clear that he was for real.

cooby May 31 2018 09:12 AM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Yay!!!

Centerfield May 31 2018 01:22 PM Re: Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

Was out last night, but was legitimately shocked when I saw the score update. For those that watched, was there anything noticeably different about Vargas? I can't imagine the pitcher I've watched pitching 5 scoreless against that lineup.

That was good advice. I was leaning toward sending him to Peru.

I know it has been said many times but I am really liking Nimmo, easy to root for and really cool to watch his progression into this.
