Jeff McNeil – LF Pete Alonso – 1B Robinson Canó – 2B Michael Conforto - RF Wilson Ramos – C J.D. Davis – 3B Amed Rosario - SS Keon Broxton - CF Zack Wheeler – RHP First roster move of 2019 season: Travis d'Arnaud activated, Nido sent down. First time a Met has come off the IL as opposed to the DL.

First time a Met has come off the IL as opposed to the DL. But who will be the first to come off the IL (Injured List) and immediately get reassigned to the IL (International League)?

Get him out of there already and sign Keuchel.

Coming back on Max will be tough. But if we can get into the Nats' bullpen... Even if we signed Kuechel, when could we realistically expect him to be ready? A month? Six weeks?

Wayne: You know one thing that the 1984 World Series didn't have? Howie: THE CUBS! HA!

Frayed Knot Apr 07 2019 12:45 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Would have been nice had they tacked one or two more from that 1st & 2nd/no-outs situation instead of screwing it up with a K (Rosario) and then the K-DP (Broxton/Davis) Broxton had no business running and Davis had even less business trotting then stopping

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 12:47 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Pitching change means Mike Torrez' record of most walks in a game as a Met is safe for another day.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 01:15 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

I changed my mind. I'm in favor of the automatic walk.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 01:57 PM IGT split

Hey! A Nimmo hit! The Mets might get run off the field despite out-hitting the Nats.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 02:03 PM Re: Mets alumni

A three-run homer by that Alonzie kid and 12-1 is now 12-6.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 02:15 PM Re: Mets alumni

Rosenthal brings his infinite ERA into the game and instantly hits Dom Smith.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 02:20 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Rosey is pulled after two batters and still no outs. Tying run on triple deck for the Mets.

Let's make em work for this

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 02:39 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

McNeil becomes the fourth Met hit by a pitch this afternoon, starting their coming rally of at least six runs.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 02:42 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Why are you swinging, d'Arnaud?!

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 02:47 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

ConfortoBOOM! and we have eight unanswered runs. Two outs left to get three more to tie it. In comes Doolittle.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 07 2019 02:48 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Alright. We got them to call in the closer I n a game they were leading by 11 runs 4 outs ago

thank you Edgy

Frayed Knot Apr 07 2019 03:33 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Good News: - If you're going to pitch poorly it's good to do so on a day when you have to face the likes of Scherzer instead of blowing a good outing only to run up against his better one - Some nice power hitting in the later innings - We got 'em fraidy-scared there towards the end and in doing so confirmed to them that their bullpen isn't merely bad, but is in fact truly horrific - That's now 6 earned off Scherzer in 14 innings over two starts. And the Nats are now just 4-4 and that's only after starting Scherzer three times in eight games. They won't be able to do that all season. Bad News: - Wheeler Suxxed, Peterson Suxxed, and Avilan wasn't much better. I mean, it would have been nice to make them earn some of those runs instead of just handing them over. - We wasted a good comeback only after falling into a virtually impossible deficit - 4-2 vs the Nats during the opening week of the season would sound a helluva lot better than the current 3-3, especially after starting 2-0 - this, coupled with the Phillies win, dropped us out of 1st place (sss)

My extreme dislike for Anthony Rendon continues. Fucker! Later

Fman99 Apr 07 2019 07:37 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Boy, those two at bats by Rosario and Broxton in the 8th inning made me sad. Two guys on base for each of them, down 12-6, and they are both swinging from their heels trying to hit a six run homer.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2019 07:40 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

The other thing about that is the two big Mets rallies were sorta ended by homers. Just keep the line movin', dudes. Great things happen when you set up the guy behind you.

Edgy MD Apr 08 2019 06:01 AM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Well, Wheeler not so much. I'm kind of hoping to not have to replace him.

nymr83 Apr 08 2019 06:23 AM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

i meant the bullpen guys. yeah Wheeler needs to turn shit around

Lefty Specialist Apr 08 2019 07:38 AM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Simply couldn't find the plate. That's kind of a requirement for a major league pitcher.

Centerfield Apr 08 2019 11:19 AM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

I missed this game completely. What's up with Wheeler? Control was clearly an issue. Did he revert to old Wheeler?

Edgy MD Apr 08 2019 01:38 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

Sort of. Except worse. The funny thing was that he was missing all over the place with his fastball. I think when he's gotten high walk numbers in the past, it was from nibbling with his slider. Hopefully, this can be a quick mechanical fix. He pounded the zone with the fastball the second half last year, sort of like good Harvey. Folks would foul two off and he could then throw them anything.

LWFS Apr 08 2019 05:27 PM Re: IGT 04/07 - Nationals at Mets

He was all over the place AND nibbling. He was like Uber-OldWheeler. Super Saiyan OldWheeler. More OldWheeler than actual old Wheeler. It's unsettling.
