Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

When neither starting pitcher has any stats for the season, you expect it would be an April game, not a game in July.

Or a late September game.

Both guys making their MLB debuts, tho De Los Santos seems like an actual prospect: 22 years old, 1.89 ERA at AAA.

Uh-oh. A pitcher we haven't seen, with numbers like that. We're done for!

I would predict a no-no but they'll probably pull him after 100 pitches. He still could do it.
I never go negative with our guys, but these are negative times.

I'll go with we don't hit or score until we get into their pen.

Don't believe that.

Here's Gagnon's fiancee, who missed an All-Star Break trip to the Grand Canyon to instead see her future hubby take the field at Big Citi.

And we have our first Mets DP grounder into the shift.

And our first opposition three-run homer. Left it up, man.

Of course they are prepared for this new pitcher. Good teams do their homework.

Great. 5-0 already. And Vargas is about to get run for yelling at the umpire from the dugout. He's not even on the 25-man, is he?

Nice play by Wilmer there.

Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

5-0 Phools in the 3rd.

Great play there by Wilmer keeps it that way. Cut down Santana at the plate.

What do we got? Lemme see. No hits, Kd twice, but 2 walks :)

Edgy MD
Jul 11 2018 12:05 AM
Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

Yeah, I was lagging on my feed. 5-0 for me now.

Mets have gotten the leadoff hitter on every inning. Have advanced him past first in no inning.


But Rosario reaches third!

Looked like Hoskins lost a couple of teeth on that play.

Oh, and that's a hit. yay!

Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

Phils heads say it was gum. Could be. But first replay made it look like the stuff came from the gap in the wall.
Looks like mouth>wall>track in this little slice of action.

There's a running gag in this game with Mets players continually trying to push Franco off the base.

Things I learned today: MLB.tv works in Canada. In fact, I can even get Blue Jays games live in Québec City.

Also, PJ Conlon is on the Mets. For some reason, I thought he'd been DFAed.

He was. We got him back. We seem to be doing that with players we DFA.

not even competitive at home against a shitty team throwing a MLB debut. Things are bad, and then there's this bad.

Edgy MD

Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

It's like the offense is programmed to max out at three runs per game. And then we go throwing random rookie pitchers against the wall to see what sticks.

NOT a formula for success.

Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

My son noticed my waning enthusiasm for Mets games in the last few weeks. I chose to sit outside on my front patio playing my guitar, rather than watch the first hour of the game, and was nonplussed to find they were already down 5-0 when I tuned in.

Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

Yep during supper I mentioned to my husband that since the Mets are playing the Phillies I could watch them and he said go ahead! And I said ‘nah’
So we both sat and read books

Every time I checked here or on a scoreboard it was worse

Because methinks other teams aren't exactly chomping at the bit to grab guys who can't even make *this* team.

Re: Groovy Tuesday IGT

Conlon was DFA'd and was grabbed off of waivers.

That team was the Dodgers, and when they subsequently tried to put him through waivers, the Mets grabbed him back.

How can anybody forget his tweets of the year?

I know the feeling about going to see the Mets.
My wife, daughter and grandson will be going to a AA game in Bridgeport (forget the date). We wanted to try to see Binghamton, but the dates they'll play in Bridgeport weren't convenient for us.
