IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Marcus, don't make us regret that you're not Vargas and that I'm not Seawolf. Stroman vs. Eflin. Prime time, boys. Make ESPN less annoying by again vanquishing the Charmless Brycemen of the Delaware Valley.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 01:00 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Four interminable hours from first pitch...this should help fill the Metless gap.

Headed to see the AAA-sters here in the ROC this evening. Was kind of hoping Nimmo would get one more game here, but he's joining the big club tonight.

Frayed Knot Sep 01 2019 01:52 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

As with Jason Vargas yesterday, tonight we're going to knock Zach Eflin the fuck out of the box

Jeff McNeil – LF Pete Alonso – 1B Michael Conforto – RF Wilson Ramos – C Joe Panik – 2B Amed Rosario – SS Todd Frazier – 3B Juan Lagares – CF Marcus Stroman – RHP

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 02:01 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Nimmo and Haggerty your initial callups, unofficially.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 02:01 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

You know -- Sam Haggerty. And Brandon Nimmo.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 02:05 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Zamora and Bashlor are also back. Donnie Hart, who the Mets didn't gotta have, has been DFA'd.

MFS62 Sep 01 2019 02:12 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

THIS Sam Haggerty? https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=hagger000sam Why? Later

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 02:27 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Sam Haggerty, who hopes to deliver big pinch-hits as Lenny Harris once did, will wear Lenny's old No. 19.

Frayed Knot Sep 01 2019 03:22 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

THIS Sam Haggerty? https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=hagger000sam Why? Looks like speed, walks, and multiple defensive positions to me. 23 of 27 steals this season across two levels; OBA = 106 points above his BA for his career (65-70 is about average); plays (or at least has played) SS, 3B, 2B, & OF Not a bad set of skillz to have on a bench.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 03:51 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Nido also activated. Three catchers!

bmfc1 Sep 01 2019 04:18 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Sam Haggerty was acquired with Walter Lockett for Pawlecki which means that BVW can say that he got 2 major leaguers for a backup catcher. Haggerty wore 88 in Spring Training and didn't have his name on his jersey so when he played during the last few innings of the first 2 weeks of spring games you went "who is that guy?" He's a Met now. He also played in Brooklyn, Binghamton, and Syracuse this year so he's seen it all. [TWEET]https://twitter.com/TimBritton/status/1168284938686423042[/TWEET]

Hideo Stromo.

Fman99 Sep 01 2019 05:42 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Fucking Stroman. Just a lot of not that much. Plus this ESPN broadcast crew is rough on the ears.

Frayed Knot Sep 01 2019 05:48 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Retiring just five of the first eleven batters faced is not a good sign moving forward.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 06:16 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Ramos extends his streak to 25.

My answer to the trivia questions: Dave F. Kingman and Darryl F. Strawberry.

Lefty Specialist Sep 01 2019 06:40 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Shorter ESPN- Marcus Stroman is short! How can he succeed when he is so short? So many good pitchers are tall. Tall, tall, tall! Hall of famer Jim Bibby was tall! Also Marcus Stronan is short!

Frayed Knot Sep 01 2019 06:41 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Can't tell y'all how much I love it when my baseball games come with a constant graphic telling me when that all important Notre Dame/Louisville game is on.

It's what ESPN does: they pick topics ahead of time that will "tell the story" and hammer on them for the whole game whether they're actually the story of this game or not. I mean, has any player except for Alonso, Harper, and Stroman even been mentioned in this game?

I have it on ESPN Deportes, music to mis orejas...

Frayed Knot Sep 01 2019 07:05 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

So Eflin's spot in the lineup comes up in a bunting situation. He also has a three-hitter going, has retired 10 straight, and is through 7 innings on just 5-1/2 innings worth of pitches. So in comes a pinch-hitter. Thank you Gabe Kapler Now if Jay Bruce hits one out here my post is going to look silly ... but, shyeet, even ARod had this figured out correctly.

Fman99 Sep 01 2019 07:23 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

I love hearing the LGM chant on the road in Philly.

It's cool to see that Nimmo guy get activated and immediately get a walk. I was hoping to see him.

Fman99 Sep 01 2019 07:24 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Perfectly executed sacrifice there by Guillorme.

Frayed Knot Sep 01 2019 07:25 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

I'm Frayed Knot and I approved of that sac bunt.

Edgy MD Sep 01 2019 07:33 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Perfectly executed wild pitch by Neris there.

bmfc1 Sep 01 2019 07:36 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

McNeil doesn't look right but I'm sure he's handling his slump well.

nymr83 Sep 01 2019 07:45 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Familia is in, we lose.

Darn it, Familia.

Ah, fudge.

nymr83 Sep 01 2019 07:50 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

With an even average bullpen, the 2019 Mets would have been a real contender.

bmfc1 Sep 01 2019 07:58 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

He had already used Avilan and Sewald (he's good at the moment). Lugo and Wilson were not available (I guess that they are being rested for the playoffs). Randazzo was right (something I don't usually say): Diaz was the move at that point.

bmfc1 Sep 01 2019 08:02 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Mickey called back JD Davis to be used... NEVER! Mickey didn't bring in Diaz so he could be used... NEVER! Idiot.

Fman99 Sep 01 2019 08:15 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

That sucked.

G-Fafif Sep 01 2019 08:25 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Managing a playoff contender in September was probably too much to ask of Mickey Callaway.

Edgy MD Sep 01 2019 09:00 PM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Nothing against Zamora, but seriously, your season is on the brink and ... Zamora?

ashie62 Sep 02 2019 01:37 AM Re: IGT 9/1/2019: NYM @ PHI -- We Think This Isn't Over, Stroman

Its over Stroman
