IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Edgy MD Sep 26 2018 07:09 PM

I'm watching Ozzie Virgil, Sr., and Amed Rosario talking about transitioning from a Dominican background into professional baseball. Ozzie was supposedly the first ever. Sheesh, Ozzie was mentored by Willie Mays and Wes Westrum, and got both his first hit and first homer off of Robin Roberts, and he's still working in baseball.

I have this sinking feeling we're gonna get shutout today.

d'Kong76 Sep 26 2018 09:32 PM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Rosario – SS McNeil – 2B Jackson – CF Conforto – LF Frazier – 3B Smith – 1B Mesoraco – C deGrom – P Nimmo – RF

Brandon hitting 'pre-leadoff' !!

Hey, Sebastian Maniscalco, MLBS.

Decent job, Aiden. A little bit too much dead air, but good show.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 12:00 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

McNeilio makes a sweet dive to the backhand and gets the out, and he leads off next inning. Let's get JdG some runz.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 12:04 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Two-strike leadoff dubble. What a dude!

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 12:20 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

He's working the slider in. Bloody beautiful. Get him some runs. Shoulda bunted with Jackson, too.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 12:25 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Newcomb is gonna get it.

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2018 12:43 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

So that's scored as a K, plus a passed ball, and then a 4-3 putout ... I guess It would be a weird play in which to lose a perfect game but lose it you would since the batter reached 1st base safely.

d'Kong76 Sep 27 2018 12:44 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Bizarro K, WP and 4-3 on Acuna there

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2018 12:44 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

NOW Jackson is bunting?!?!?

d'Kong76 Sep 27 2018 12:47 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

After several replays WP will ultimately be PB if not already.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 12:57 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

I'm going to give myself wholly to McNeil. Do you think he'll have me?

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 01:00 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Dwight Gooden 1985's 1.53 ERA looks safe, but deGrom has moved well ahead Tom Seaver 1971's 1.77. Looks like he's now down to 1.71.

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2018 01:01 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

17 in a row, 8 Ks, a 1-0 lead, 7 innings worth of outs with ~6-1/3 innings worth of pitches, in his final meaningful start until April ... don't you DARE take him out Mickey!

Frayed Knot Sep 27 2018 01:03 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Besides ... he leads off and might be the best hitter in our lineup.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 01:09 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Back for the eighth.

Gwreck Sep 27 2018 01:09 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

95 pitches through 7. What’s the limit? 120?

bmfc1 Sep 27 2018 01:12 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

How about deGrom returns on Sunday to get the save.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 01:17 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Looks like he's getting the hook. Man, what a game. Worth noting: really strong game by the usually good C.B. Bucknor.

Dear Seth, I like you. I really do and I hope you have a great future with the Mets. But if you EVER want to show your face in New York City again you CAN NOT let this game get away. Yours Truly, FK

Put it in the books! I think the 10th win is what gets him the Cy Young award. It shouldn't matter, but it does.

Well, if that doesn't put a bow on it and seal things for deGrom-Cy18 something is wrong in the baseball universe.

Gwreck Sep 27 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Mickey didn’t handle that well. He could have had deGrom start the 9th, face one batter, and leave to a giant ovation. I think that would have been the far preferable way to handle that decision.

Edgy MD Sep 27 2018 01:47 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

He could have had deGrom go out there and exit after a few warmup pitches.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 27 2018 01:47 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

Death. Taxes. 7 or 8 dominating innings from Jacob deGrom, [crossout:1m3ranli]only to be blown by this furshluggineh bullpen[/crossout:1m3ranli]. Best non-Seaver, non-1985 season?

d'Kong76 Sep 27 2018 01:48 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

He can let deGrom pinch hit in each of the next four games!

MFS62 Sep 27 2018 01:53 AM Re: IGT 09/26 - Braves at Mets - Newcomb @ deGrom

A co-worker told me today he read that if the Mets had scored four runs a game for him, he would have been 30-0 and if they'd scored three runs per game, he would have been 20-5. He didn't say where he saw that, and realized that at least in some of those games, he would have been replaced by a reliever who would have blown the lead. I guess those were "coulds" instead of "woulds". But still, that is amazing. Later

Later Yeah, that's not quite accurate (see my post in the 'Blasphemers' thread) as deGrom didn't even last the required 5 innings in two different starts this season so there's no way he could have won those. I got him as 21-1 w/10 No decisions in his starts although even that is assuming that the game situation doesn't change after he left the game (ie. no blown games by the pen)

deGrom is good. Anyone have mlb.tv want to make a gif for me if you can? Inciarte bat-flipped his pop-up in the top of the 4th, and I thought it was funny.

Game of the year at Citi Field tonight. I love a night when everybody who went out of their way to be there (as opposed to people who were handed tickets and looked at their phones) is committed to the "A" storyline. For scale, it was comparable to Dickey earning his 20th. Hell, 10 is the new 20. Here's to Jake, Pitcher of the Year, Met of the Decade.

Should "10-9" really appear inside an explosion graphic?

I know we've beaten this horse to death, but even with the Mets average run support (4.23 runs a game) he could literally have gone 30-0. (The one game where he gave up four, and his one-inning start in Philly being the exceptions.)

It still hurts to think of that last game in St. Louis, but I think I've since justified it as making 1986 even better. (though I would have loved to see '85 Gooden tear up the post-season. Wow) On the other hand, I barely remember Dickey's Cy Young season. In fact, I'm not even sure what year it was. 2013? 2012? There are times I forget it even happened. This season, as much as I am in awe of what deGrom did, I can't help but feel incredible frustration that the Wilpon's finances deprived us of a great pennant race. It's so incredibly wrong.
