IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

bmfc1 May 16 2019 05:52 AM

1:05 start and I think that this is a big game... but I think that every game against these SOBs is a big game. The Mets win and they have two series wins in a row. They lose and they lose another series that isn't against MIA. WSH wins and "maybe they're turning this thing around". WSH loses and the panic exacerbates. The Mets bring a major league pitcher to the mound today, Zack Wheeler, so that's nice but he's been lit up by WSH twice this season: http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/31267/zack-wheeler Much of the damage has been by players on the DL: http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/31267/zack-wheeler Rendon and Eaton have good numbers against him. It's Anibal Sanchez for WSH (RHP, 0-6, 5.27, 1.68). http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/6472 This is his first start for WSH against the Mets. We know him from ATL. http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/6472/anibal-sanchez Ramos has a good average against him but Ramos won't start (maybe Ramos should have sat last night since they weren't going to win that game). I'll be in Section 103 to the left of the Mets bullpen. [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIl6n_SRCI[/YOUTUBE]

Going back to the Kinkwell is a bold move, but one I support.

I like it. Looking forward to album cuts, solo projects... there's a Kink for every oKassion

Any protocol we have is based on tradition more than legal codes or natural law. And there comes a time to throw tradition into the wind. If you crossed this line out of ignorance, there might have been flags. But no, you looked into the void and courageously said that THIS was that hour that transcends any tradition, and you stepped over that line for all to see. I can only salute and applaud.

Thank you Edgy.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 10:01 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Today I'm reminded that we just passed the first anniversary of the Mickey bats us out of order game. That also was an afternoon game in May on a day like today. I also happen to be in the same place I was last year when I listened to that game on the radio in the 911 memorial Park. #NeverForget

Edgy MD May 16 2019 10:13 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Right now it looks like it's going to take a geological or epidemiological event for Keon Broxton to crack a lineup. Nice to see Smitty out there, and hopefully a good performance by him gets him a look in left field.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 10:39 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Alonso needs 2 weeks off to recover from his swing and a miss vs. Doolittle last night

Centerfield May 16 2019 11:22 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Um. Zack?

Centerfield May 16 2019 11:31 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

We can't beat anyone but the Marlins.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 11:41 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Sanchez coming out. Bonus: 8 innings vs the bullpen

Chad ochoseis May 16 2019 11:43 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Sux to see anyone get injured, but the Mets catch a break here with the Nats bullpen now needing to somehow get 23 outs.

Fman99 May 16 2019 11:45 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Yah into the shit ass bullpen! (Theirs, I should clarify)

Chad ochoseis May 16 2019 11:49 AM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Ours hasn't been looking bad lately.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 12:04 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

KaSmash

Fman99 May 16 2019 12:11 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Yah, brand new game! Love the Nats pen.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 12:20 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

McNeil swapped out due to "abdominal tightness." If he like, constipated?

ashie62 May 16 2019 12:28 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Taco Bell

Fman99 May 16 2019 12:39 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

That'd cause looseness, not tightness.

Lefty Specialist May 16 2019 12:53 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Ohhhh fucccccccccckkkkk. Conforto injured.

kcmets May 16 2019 12:54 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Cano not only sucking but now he's running out into the outfield and taking out a key player with an illegal shoulder check to Conforto's head.

Lefty Specialist May 16 2019 12:59 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Really, that was Conforto's ball and he was calling for it. Getting more and more annoyed with Cano.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 01:06 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

I only read about it but sounded like Cano's fault. He can stop fucking this team up any time

Edgy MD May 16 2019 01:47 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Canó was part of a conspiracy to get Broxton into a game.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 01:48 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Big AB for for Broxy here

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 01:51 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Pops out to cf. Waiver this guy

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 01:54 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Fire Mickey

Edgy MD May 16 2019 01:55 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

I get the idea that Mickey takes the long view. Like, decades long.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 01:57 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

This is just so disheartening. Bring a little momentum into a series against a wounded opponent you see 6 times in a week and shit the bed repeatedly till you lose the series.

Edgy MD May 16 2019 02:00 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Yup. Perfect time to go for the short view. Nothing says "go get this," like a manager saying "Let's go get this!" Instead, he punches the clock like Art Howe.

Edgy MD May 16 2019 02:05 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Nimmo, Rosario, Neato in the ninth.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:10 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

I've had it up to here with Zimmo btw. He needs a week in Syracuse. I wonder if the Mets couldn't also demote Mickey for a spell. Go to Class AA, manage a few series wins and we'll bring ya back up. Not as extreme as my plan to put him out of work immediately

Edgy MD May 16 2019 02:12 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

And then Zimmo goes and has a good classick Nimmo at-bat.

Edgy MD May 16 2019 02:15 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Man, everything worked, but now we have Ramos as the tying run.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:15 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Hmmm

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:15 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

oh my

Edgy MD May 16 2019 02:16 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

One run home, but Ramos only reaches second. What a state of things.

Chad ochoseis May 16 2019 02:16 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Let's go get this!

Chad ochoseis May 16 2019 02:18 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Weird that Alonso didn't PH against the lefty, but Ramos and Laggy did.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:19 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Down to our last strike

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:19 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Laggy was in for McNeil earlier

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:20 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

OH god

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:20 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

PH for Broxy??

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:22 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

fffffffuck

Chad ochoseis May 16 2019 02:22 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Crap

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:25 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

They coulda moved Smith to the outfield. Basically turned Broxton into the new De Aza

kcmets May 16 2019 02:25 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Oh well, crap on a cracker...

kcmets May 16 2019 02:40 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Conforto has a concussion

Johnny Lunchbucket May 16 2019 02:50 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Terrific

ashie62 May 16 2019 06:24 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Last years team was better

nymr83 May 16 2019 07:31 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

This loss SUCKS, opposing starter gone in tue second inning you need to pull this one out!

Edgy MD May 16 2019 07:41 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Opposing starter gone in the second inning and the whole story all season with this oppenent has been how shallow their bullpen is. I liked last year's team, and I like this one more. But the whole prevailing offensive philosophy just seems so injudicious.

LWFS May 16 2019 11:35 PM Re: IGT 5/16/2019: NYM @ WSH -- Sunny Afternoon

Broxton is now... 0-for-3 in bases-loaded, two-outs, ninth-inning situations, right?
