Big game. They really all are for the next week or two.

Lefty Specialist Jun 26 2019 12:49 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

No, they're not.

kcmets Jun 26 2019 01:21 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

NYM (37‑43) Jason Vargas (LHP, 3-3, 3.75) PHI (41‑38) Nick Pivetta (RHP, 4-2, 5.54) 4 1/2 out of the wild card with only like 7-8 teams to jump over! Piece of cake...

ashie62 Jun 26 2019 02:13 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Hoping hoping Vargas takes out his frustrations on the Phillies for 21 outs

RHP Chris Mazza joins the club from Syracuse. Will wear No. 74 for some ridiculous reason. When he makes his MLB debut, he'll be the 400th to be Born A Met. Lockett sent down. O'Rourke DFA'd. Next win is franchise regular season win No. 4,400.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 05:50 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Vargas since August 2018: 23 Game starts; 110 IP; 96 Hits; 39 BB; 96 K; 3.68 ERA; 1.23 WHIP

MFS62 Jun 26 2019 06:12 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Dominic Smith since the start of the season - very good. Later

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2019 06:37 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

You know what our team could use? A second baseman like C Hernandez. Gloves it, gets on base, outhomering Cano so far I think. Nido becoming a force.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2019 06:38 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Squeeze it, Vargy

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 06:39 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Vargas needs to knock Pivetta the fuck out.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2019 06:40 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

McNeil is doing some unbelievable stuff

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 06:41 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

The Mets might have made two outs on the bases this inning if Segura could catch the throws and get the tag down.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2019 06:42 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Alonso with a shit AB there.

Was just about to add that muffed tag plays at 2B have been our biggest offensive weapon tonight. Two throws on SB attempts and then that one from Harper in RF were all on time but all bungled at 2B

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 06:59 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

So: three run lead, three innings to go ... I'd say we've got at least a 10%, maybe even 12%, shot at winning this one.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 07:04 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Ummm, this is not a big enough lead to be giving away outs on frivolous chances boys.

Well, the Mets sure put the wind back in the Phillies' sails.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2019 07:20 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

This team is diseased

bmfc1 Jun 26 2019 07:20 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

So much for Lugo being the only good arm in the bullpen.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 07:21 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Is anyone NOT expecting a Grand Slam?

kcmets Jun 26 2019 07:21 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

It's almost kinda funny.

seawolf17 Jun 26 2019 07:22 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

THIS TEAM SUUUUUUUUCKS

bmfc1 Jun 26 2019 07:24 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

It's a tie-game and the manager double-switched Dom Smith out of the game.

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 07:26 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

I wasn't. I mean ... if Gsellie was in, I'd feel dif. And, HEY! Rudy Stein is back!

seawolf17 Jun 26 2019 07:27 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

=bmfc1 post_id=14292 time=1561598670 user_id=73] It's a tie-game and the manager double-switched Dom Smith out of the game.

Can Brodie call the dugout and fire him midgame? I'd be down with that.



I never thought I'd say this, but Vargas deserves better than this.

41Forever Jun 26 2019 07:32 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Speechless.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 07:33 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

The other problem, for this game anyway, is that we've taken 10 hits incl 2 HR + 2 doubles, tossed in 2 SBs, 4 walks and a Philly error ... and somehow added all that up to just 4 runs. 9 LOBs and 2 for 11 w/RiSP will do that for you. They tattoo our bullpen. We can't get the ball out of the infield vs theirs.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 07:45 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 26 2019 07:48 PM

Meanwhile, MFY games are almost the exact opposite of ours. This afternoon the Blue Jays scored five times on a 3R & a 2R HR in their first turn through the lineup ... and then got out-scored 8-2 from that point on and lost 8-7 on a 9th inning walk-off single. And this was all after the Jays managed just one run out of a bases-loaded/no-out situation in the top of the 9th

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 07:45 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Wasn't Maikel Franco having a truly awful season until the Mets came to town?

bmfc1 Jun 26 2019 07:51 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Something else about double-switching Dom out of the game--Lugo didn't stay in the game past that inning so it was FUCKING POINTLESS!

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 07:55 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Well, it also improved the defense to help preserve the lead that they couldn't preserve, so ...

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 07:56 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Still not a single ball out of the infield off three different Philly relievers!

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 07:59 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

So, how many batters will it take?

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 08:03 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Hey, look! Edwin!!

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 08:05 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

So do we assume that that's it for Diaz despite just a 12(?) pitch 1-2-3 inning? After all, the possibility of him getting even five outs was out of the question as little as four days ago.

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 08:08 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Now we get to see what we can do against a guy with 35 baserunners [23 Hits, 12 Walks] in 17 innings pitched this season. So far: yet another chopper beat into the ground towards 3rd

Frayed Knot Jun 26 2019 08:15 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Keith wants a high energy call from Joe West? I think the last one of those came sometime during Clinton's first term. Oh, and lookie here, another inning with nothing even resembling a hit off a nothing bullpen!!

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 26 2019 08:26 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Yikes

Edgy MD Jun 26 2019 08:29 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Well, they lost. But the good news is that Diaz is available for tomorrow.

Jay Bruce, Mr. Hero

dgwphotography Jun 26 2019 09:17 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

I have had an irrational dislike for Vargas since the first time I saw him in Mets uniform. I had no idea why, until I saw him taking questions tonight. With his glasses and curls, he looks too much like my brother-in-law.

G-Fafif Jun 26 2019 09:29 PM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Apparently I also can't stand DGW's brother-in-law. Or his doppelgänger. Gary Cohen gave Vargas as close to the Roberto Alomar treatment as I've heard him dispense since he moved to TV, gently but firmly condemning both his behavior toward Healey and his failure to own up to it the next day. Vargas made himself even less sympathetic tonight when he intimated there was far more to what happened than that which is known but chose not to elaborate. Threatening a reporter is bad enough. But letting down Gary Cohen is inexcusable.

MFS62 Jun 27 2019 05:16 AM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Sadly, there is nobody in the minors about whom I could say,"It looks like he's ready, and if they brought him up maybe he could jump-start the team". Later

whippoorwill Jun 27 2019 06:00 AM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

Omg again this effing bullpen blew it? I was only joking in my movie idea thread but seriously they all ought to go sell insurance or beer or something

Edgy MD Jun 27 2019 06:29 AM Re: IGT 6/26 Tomorrow is today Vargas v Pivetta

It's supposedly a running gag throughout MLB how much of a Jon Lovitz lookalike Vargas is.

Shouldn't the Schaefer banner from a Vargas thread feature a Vargas girl? Actually, your model is pretty close.
