Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 24 2019 05:56 AM

Not for nothing but this could be a Big Game, inasmuch as having additional Big Games is dependent on another W tonight. Get it and we'll capture SD in the standings. We're actually on the verge of 2 additional captures, being a half-game behind Cincy and 1 behind Colorado so if things break right we can knock some 18 net-games back in the WC tonight. Then look ahead. So maybe it is a Big Game. We have the bump advantage as Syndy opposes RHP Dinelson Lamet (0-2, 5.14) who should really be working for us.

From The Athletic, Michael Salfino: [BLOCKQUOTE]Jeff McNeil, has swung at 66.8% of pitches seen over the last 30 games, the highest in baseball and well over the average rate for the period of 48.1%.[/BLOCKQUOTE]

Ceetar Jul 24 2019 01:48 PM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

it's 89.2% in the zone. he's making contact at 82.1% over those thirty days. Robinson Cano is making contact at 84.5% (54.7% swing) league average is 76.3%

Lefty Specialist Jul 24 2019 01:53 PM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

He can swing all he wants as long as he keeps getting base hits.....

Edgy MD Jul 24 2019 02:58 PM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

Well, that's the concern. The more he swings, the more he's going to get pitches to chase.

The D is Dee-readful tonight.

The Mets aren't baseballing very good tonight.

Frayed Knot Jul 24 2019 07:24 PM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

But getting out of that top-7th scoreless keeps us very much in the game. Gotta stop looking at strike-threes down the middle though.

Familia doing one of his: 'I'm not going to retire anyone' acts tonight.

Brodie should be fired for the Familia contract alone: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/new-york-mets/jeurys-familia-11524/

I had such hopes for the SHaMs

Fartspurs.

What a waste of time.

Having changed the manager after miserable 2017 and the general manager following dismal 2018, the next logical step would be to change the ownership. Selling would be the classy thing for the Wilpons to do. Or, better yet, letting the team roam free.

So, in a nutshell, what happened?

whippoorwill Jul 25 2019 07:48 AM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

Never mind just looked at boxscore. Who in THEE hell are these new bullpen schlubs. Okay I have long been bitching about overuse of the bullpen. When are they going to learn?

Edgy MD Jul 25 2019 09:47 AM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

I have to say, there's nobody I feel less secure about seeing up in a big spot these days than Conforto. I mean, I feel better seeing Nido up there. Crazy, right?

bmfc1 Jul 25 2019 10:39 AM Re: Mets-PodsIGT 7/24

Not crazy in this respect.
