Good selection.

Familia's back! Please clap. Hanhold, who we hardly knew, returns to Syracuse.

I'll look out for him at Heid's.

Ooops

Johnny Lunchbucket May 14 2019 02:09 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

wtf is Fraz doing in the lineup. I thought we were trying to win

Centerfield May 14 2019 02:12 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Not at all. I love Ramon Castro. I think he is my favorite backup catcher not named Todd Pratt. Did you know he had a .774 OPS during his 5 years with the Mets? That's crazy. He'd be an All-Star with those numbers today. I think of him primarily as LoDoca's backup catcher, but in reality, he both preceded him and outlasted him. And looking back, outhit the first string guy during his time here. LoDuca Mets OPS: .739 Castro Mets OPS: .774 All of that comes from the drastic difference in 2007. LoDuca: 488 PA, .689 OPS. Castro: 157 PA, .887 OPS. Were we clamoring for Castro to get more starts? It's frustrating that we fell a game short that year and gave three times as many PA to a guy with an OPS 200 points lower.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 14 2019 02:49 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

It could be Todd Frazier's unusually strong performance on Tuesday nights, where he has all his home runs and 6/7th of his RBIs. Good #analytics Mickey

I think the rap on Castro was that he didn't have the "motivation" to be a starter, and he seemed to suck the few times he was pressed into action on an everyday basis. I have no idea where that came from, but it's somewhere in my memory bank. May have been a WWSB comment.

Lowrie pulled a hamstring on rehab. A 20 million dollar bust

"Ramon" with a grand slam kaboom!

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 05:24 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

RAMON!!!!!

Johnny Lunchbucket May 14 2019 05:25 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

That was pretty cool

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 05:30 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

In honor of the English Premier League ending its season on Sunday (Manchester City hung on to outlast Liverpool for those of you who haven't called SPORTSPHONE yet) I think it would be cool to hear baseball called by British soccer announcers. Hellickson thought he was going to get away with a clean sheet for the first inning but, following the assistance of the 'Video Referee', his hopes were dashed by a lovely ball struck by the Venezuelan international Wilson Ramos

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 05:35 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Soto was lucky not to draw a Yellow Card for his berating of the referee on that called strike

Fman99 May 14 2019 05:36 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Good start there for the good guys. Ramos motivated to suck less of the dickerydoos in front of his old squad mayhaps.

G-Fafif May 14 2019 05:38 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Ramos wearing 40 made it 4-0.

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 06:20 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Two hits so far for Rosario ... AND he's fielded two ground balls without a major incident too!!

Fman99 May 14 2019 06:24 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Well this is an interesting start, hm?

Fman99 May 14 2019 06:28 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Nice glove work there by Piss Missile Pete and Thor.

Chad ochoseis May 14 2019 06:29 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Sure is an interesting start. Alonso doesn't ordinarily make that play. And it's nice to see Noah not give back those runs. Nothing else going on that I can think of.

Lefty Specialist May 14 2019 06:38 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Ramos runs the bases like a 1949 Packard with a balky transmission.

Edgy MD May 14 2019 07:04 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Nimmo and Frazier both in the hit column tonight, though. In fact, during the game, Frazier has passed Syndergaard in batting average.

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 07:26 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

Frazier also hit that weak-ass groundout w/no-out and runners on 2nd & 3rd when just about anything else would have plated a run.

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 07:42 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

The Mets will pickup in the table on all the NL East teams if the in-progress scores all hold. And with the next nine fixtures all being NL East teams, there's a chance for some real progress coming up.

Edgy MD May 14 2019 07:56 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

If you only get one touch in the game, Smithy makes good on it. No sooner had he entered the match than he lays in the final tally for a comprehensive thrashing of Washington National. The three points has drawn Metropolitan even with Atlanta in league play.

Frayed Knot May 14 2019 08:03 PM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

It's a choice between Syndergaard, Ramos, and Conforto for Man of the Match.

What's up with the color text thing going on? #lgm #ygb #bbbyyy If you refer back to my 7:30 PM post you'll see that I declared this to be: 'talk like a British soccer announcer' day. In the end it was quite a nice night on the enemy's pitch for the men in blue and orange, much to the delight of the traveling supporters in the visitors section. One just hopes that they're playing this well when the front half of the New York derby comes around in less than four week's time.

Centerfield May 15 2019 07:40 AM Re: IGT 05/14 - NYM at WAS - Tired of Waiting

This was such a fun game to watch. Big early lead, Thor cruising, a few tack on runs at the end. I don't remember the last time I watched a game that comfortably.
