Rockies are 4-12 in their last 16 games and have lost their last 8 at home.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2018 04:21 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

The Rox have also nicely used up a surfeit of pitching strength, struggling through a slugfest of a series in Texas. Yesterday, six twirlers took the mound, culminating in a disastrous showing by closer Wade Davis getting all of one out while giving up four walks, two hits, and four guns, and ultimately the game in the ninth, as the Rox lost, 13-12.

Ceetar Jun 18 2018 05:27 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

The Rockies can not score runs. Take advantage of Coors and smash 'em up. This is a bad team/offense.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2018 05:41 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

I choose "stand"

Fman99 Jun 18 2018 07:36 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

The 8:40 start means I am not likely to witness the full 9 innings. Because I'm old and sleepy.

Lefty Specialist Jun 18 2018 07:58 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

With our luck, they'll score five runs and deGrom will give up six.

When was the last time a Met hit an inside-the-park HR? Why tonight, of course. [bigpurple:w5xax6dv]Nimmo![/bigpurple:w5xax6dv]

My Nimmo man crush only grows. My next pet is going to be named Nimmo. Heck, I'm going to buy a pet tomorrow just I can name it Nimmo. Booth is interviewing Nimmo's dad, who is just as cool. What a nice story. Humble. Appreciative.

Ha! Wilmer has to actually hit it over the fence to get a home run! WILMER-Kaboom!

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

How terrific a fielder is Arrenado?

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 01:43 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Holy shit, Arrenado. He should have to play without a glove to make it fair for everybody else.

41Forever Jun 19 2018 01:57 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Willmer got some leather, too!

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 02:06 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Would it have been dirty pool if Rosario went for a takeout slide on Arrenado's double play?

Rockin' Doc Jun 19 2018 02:06 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

After a long at bat, Cabrera hits it to the worst possible place (Arenado) who turns it into a double play.

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 02:54 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Defense has been there for deGrom tonight. Not this inning, however.

Rockin' Doc Jun 19 2018 02:55 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Mets defense is costing DeGrom. He should have been out this inning 2 hitters ago.

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 02:57 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Struck him out! deGrom dialed it up to Murphy to put an end to the frivolity in the seventh. Gary Cohen. All-star.

Rockin' Doc Jun 19 2018 02:57 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

DeGrom takes matters into his own hands and blows Murphy away with a high fastball.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 19 2018 02:57 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

grommet really sacked up there and said try to hit this.

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 03:05 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Devin Mesoraco doesn't always strike. But when he strikes, he strikes late.

Rockin' Doc Jun 19 2018 03:05 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Mesoraco go Kaboom!

Rockin' Doc Jun 19 2018 03:08 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

DeGrom hustling almost beats out a routine grounder to 1st due to lazy defense by the Rockies.

41Forever Jun 19 2018 03:34 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

This is a good game. A really, really good game. We don't even need to hit to score runs now.

Chad Ochoseis Jun 19 2018 03:41 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

But we do, anyway. Incidentally, DEVIN MESORACO anagrams to I DAMN COORS EVE.

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 03:42 AM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

But who is Eve?

MFS62 Jun 19 2018 01:52 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Now THAT is the kind of lead I would be confident turning over to Sewald. And I hope he gets at least 20-30 more of those chances this year. Later

Centerfield Jun 19 2018 02:27 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

I know we are all caught up in Nimmo-mania, but can I just express my complete and utter admiration for Jacob deGrom? The guy is so good, I watched this game and actually forgot they were playing at Coor's Field. I mean, I knew it was Coor's Field, but it wasn't "Well that's Coor's Field for you" or "Pitches just don't bite the same way here"...bla bla bla. Just going about his business, calmly limiting them to 1 ER. And for running out that last ground ball and making it that close. Also, the minute his ERA dipped below 1.53, Gary Cohen was sure to mention it. It's funny how we all know that complete line. 24-4. 1.53. 268. 8.

Vic Sage Jun 19 2018 02:38 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

The DeGrominator is a thing of beauty. He just gets better every year, and this is a guy who started as the NL ROY.

Lefty Specialist Jun 19 2018 02:40 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

deGrom is so low-key and un-flashy. He just gets the job done. It's a shame to see him pitch so well and have it wasted most times. On a decent team he'd have 10 wins by now.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 19 2018 03:10 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Everybody in the world remarked on that third-strike pitch to Murphy after the errors gave up a run. He was just like, fuck off everybody. It was beautiful.

Ceetar Jun 19 2018 03:17 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

can't find a gif of that last pitch (and can't make one myself on my phone due to copyright) but there is this [tweet]https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1008900846749396992[/tweet]

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 19 2018 03:30 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

There was just something in his body language that went beyond the hellaciousness of the pitch

Edgy MD Jun 19 2018 03:44 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

Yeah, as that ball hit the glove, I was thinking: "Seven years, $200 million." Probably not a good idea to let a pitch trigger a seven-year extension, but I thought what I thought. You manage your team your way and I'll manage my team my way.

Ceetar Jun 19 2018 03:57 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall

nah, give it to him. deGrom's as good a bet as you can make probably. You look at these gifs and it's not the velocity or even the movement so much as how utterly similar everything looks until the last moment when you actually have to hit it. I feel like that's probably the most sustainable skill of a pitcher? It looks like he's good at the changing speeds within a pitch thing too. The Bartolo Colon method perhaps? His release point plot is a tiny tiny thing too.

Vic Sage Jun 19 2018 04:20 PM Re: IGT 06/18 - NYM @ COL - Stand or Fall Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Jun 19 2018 05:30 PM

you don't give a pitcher who turns 30 today (Happy Birthday, Jake!), whose under team control through 2021, a 7-year deal. I love him too, but no...just no.

On a decent team he'd have twelve wins. Take out the one-inning game, the four-inning game, and the four runs in six innings game in Miami in April, and his ERA is 1.28 in his other twelve starts.
