Mets LH Jason Vargas (6-9, 6.47) Gnats RH Max Scherzer (17-7, 2.53)

Benjamin Grimm Sep 20 2018 07:10 PM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

So how many runs do the Mets have to score tonight to get Scherzer's ERA over 9.00?

Benjamin Grimm Sep 20 2018 07:38 PM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

That might be a bit much. Maybe they should shoot for 8.00 instead.

2 runs in 6.1 insures Scherzer's ERA goes up.

I imagine there would be quite an uproar if the Nationals manager left Scherzer on the mound long enough to give up 150 earned runs! But yeah, I suppose it might happen.

The Nationals "Winterfest" is December 1 and 2. Have the Mets announced their Winterfest dates yet?

6th triple of the (partial) season for McNeil in not yet 200 ABs It comes on the same night as only his 2nd two-strikeout game.

Howie Rose's tone told me that shot by Harper was gone, gone, gone.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2018 02:00 AM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

Keith too, and they're right. That press box is ridiculous. Keep in mind that Harry Kalas died up there. Howie's tone wasn't nearly as disconcerting as Swarzak's pitchin', sadly.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2018 02:19 AM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

Whoah! A mid-at-bat tossing of McNeilio.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2018 02:21 AM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

And he's not thrown out after all. I guess that's another side effect of the press box being in the ionosphere.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 21 2018 02:26 AM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

yeah it was Mickey run not McNeil. Bases loaded, 1 out... for Reinheimer

Maybe take a strike from someone who has walked two straight and thrown 7 straight balls?

Get outa here, Harpie!!

Centerfield Sep 21 2018 02:37 AM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

All umpires have their heads up their ass today. Home plate blue has been killing the Mets al night. Mickey needed to be rung 3 innings ago.

Hard to believe that Austin Jackson was released by only 2 teams this season. Good thing for him he found a team dumb enough to keep him.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2018 03:05 AM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

Jackson has only been released by one team this season.

I missed both ejections. They were lousy calls and there will be no ramifications for the umpire, D.J. ("Dumb Judgement"?) Rayburn. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-nat ... ame=531695 (Does Harper say "go f*** yourself; get it f*****g right"?)

Centerfield Sep 21 2018 02:16 PM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

Rayburn was noticeably bad all night long. Squeezed Vargas on more than one occasion. Had a much bigger strikezone for Scherzer. I feel like Mickey needed to start barking at him long before he actually did. He had a terrible call against Jackson (at least I think it was Jackson, IIRC). Way down and away, called for strike 3. The calls against McNeil were laughable. Both of them. I'm glad Mickey came out and showed some fire. He needs to have a lot more of that (in these instances, I miss the hell out of Terry Collins). The call against Bryce was missed too, but it was a close call and one that someone is going to be upset about whichever way it's called. And of course we don't know what Bryce said, but his head was down and walking back to the dugout, so unless he used a few choice words, there's no need for that. Bryce Harper is such an interesting guy. He comes across as the biggest asshole, but seems well liked by teammates not named Papelbon. Is always gracious in his comments, and when off the field, seems somewhat likeable. Which is almost impossible for someone with that hair. Doesn't run out ground balls nearly enough, but also displays passion like we saw last night. Tough guy to figure out.

Ceetar Sep 21 2018 02:27 PM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

I think Harper's just a hot head for the most part, but in a MLB clubhouse that passion and intensity is probably valued.

Edgy MD Sep 21 2018 02:52 PM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

Yeah, the idea that he can hustle like nobody's business when he sees daylight but regularly embarrass himself with his mail-it-in motions in the same game is frustrating. I guess the same can be said of Céspedes, but at least we know he's had damage to his trucks, so him picking his moments can be rationalized as strategic, rather than merely petulant. He seems impossibly self-centered to me. It's probably part of what makes him the athlete he is. But I'd want a locker as far away from him as possible.

Frayed Knot Sep 21 2018 09:04 PM Re: IGT 09/20 - Mets at Nationals

Harper looks increasingly disinterested in anything that doesn't involve him hitting a HR His BA is 30+ points off his career avg and more than 70 off last year He has ZERO triples this year after hitting 9 as a rookie He walks a ton but one gets the impression that's more because he's waiting for the perfect pitch to wail on rather than actually working the count He was a good fielder when he came up and was more than capable of holding his own in CF. He now looks not just ordinary but more like bottom of the barrel He runs the bases only occasionally and often badly on those rare occasions His OBP is just shy of .400 yet he manages to slot in as only 10th best in WAR (1.2) on his own underachieving team, a feat which I would have thought impossible
