What, youse thought I forgot? Was kidnapped maybe? Incarcerated? (understandable) Had another coronary? Nope, just busy. Going for our fourth straight at 7:05 featuring Jason Vargas vs John New (Ivan Nova) Vargas: 2-6; 8.20 (I don't think that's very good); last pitched on 6/19: 7 runs on 9 hits in 2.1 vs Rockies, but, y'know, it was in Coors. Former MFY Nova: 6-6; 4.28. HIs 7-run performance was three starts ago vs LAD. Since then he's been better in starts vs MIL & CIN [3 runs on 12 hits in 11-1/3] Rosario - SS Cabrera - 2B Conforto - LF Flores - 1B Nimmo - CF Bautista - RF NcNeil - 3B Plawecki - C Vargas - P Luplow - LF Harrison - 2B Polanco - RF Diaz - C (Mr.) Freese - 3B Bell - 1B Rodriguez - CF Mercer - SS Nova - P

Keep the streak going!

Mickey the Hook pulls JV after just 13 outs.

Damn, man.

Edgy MD Jul 28 2018 12:54 AM Re: IGT - Mets @ Pirates - 7/27/18

Mets got burned by the early hook and got burned by using the shift that inning.

BUNTING IS FOR SUPERSTARS!

Edgy MD Jul 28 2018 01:08 AM Re: IGT - Mets @ Pirates - 7/27/18

Plawecki would've done well to bunt also.

Edgy MD Jul 28 2018 01:14 AM Re: IGT - Mets @ Pirates - 7/27/18

Weird way to tie the game, but good hustle by Conforto. Please tell me Pirates thirdbaseman Colin Moran is related to Lyndon Johnson-era Met Al Moran.

We're lucky Plawecki (a) got plunked by that pitch, and (b) didn't get called for not trying to elude it. Sliders are killing him. Like he can't touch them.

On to the bottom of the 9th, 4-4... or sniffle-sniffle, mileage may vary.

If anything, I think it verged on the side of late. And keeping a starter in on the basis of a low(-ish) pitch count is at least as bad a move as taking one out based on a high count.

Edgy MD Jul 28 2018 01:07 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Pirates - 7/27/18

I was keeping him in based on the fact that he was succeeding and not in particular trouble, and the sooner you go to your bullpen, the more precipitously you are moving toward the point where you are running out of pitching in a tight game. Stretch your starters!
