IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

Time for Stroman to have his first real shutdown game as a Met. I dare you.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2019 09:18 PM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

If Harper isn't in the lineup tomorrow — or, hopefully not, the rest of the season if his hand is broken — there's a good chance one of the Mets' better hitters is going to get some payback tomorrow. And it may well happen even if he is in the lineup.

Those pinheads are likely still upset about Jacob Rahme throwing in the vicinity of Ryhs Hoskins' empty head so you're right. McNeil got hit in the 9th but that happens with regularity. Alonso should practice ducking.

That top three will drive Keith bonkers.

I'm happy to see McNelt hitting third, and look forward to him securing the spot right away, setting up the corresponding move of Nimmo's triumphant return to the top of the lineup.

Harper wouldn't have caught that ball. At least they stretched the pitcher for 31 pitches, but if Nimmo leads off there and reaches, that inning goes differently.

Judging by the number of pitches thrown by both hurlers in that first inning (31 each) this could be a LOOOOONG evening of Mets baseball.







If I heard Gary correctly, the RF replacement for Harper is named Admiral Halsey

Oh wait, it's Adam Haseley

Is it possible that the Toronto GM is much better at his job than BVW?

Two innings of many, many baserunners-- which won't be in endless supply, regardless of poor 'penning-- and no cash money. It's early, and this is totally premature... but I think we just lost the game there.

Lefty Specialist Sep 07 2019 07:14 PM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

A bleh performance alll around. I'm sure Stroman will say after the game that he's just about to turn the corner or something, because that's what he's said after every crappy outing.

seawolf17 Sep 07 2019 07:33 PM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

This game feels like a getaway day game - it's like they stopped trying after the top of the fourth.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2019 07:51 PM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

Sheesh Conforto. You had the right idea with the bunt. Stay with that.

Stroman has been on an all-ass diet since donning the blue and orange.

This game has had more ass than a Steve Perry video, but I'm watching this ninth.

Nimmo takes a sprint. Good start.

Well, Stroman smelled, but Koufax can't win if the team can't skurr.

I'm sure other things happened — I think there was a well-turned DP in there or something — but I woke up thinking that Nimmo's ninth-inning walk was the highlight of the evening. Also, I was never quite clear on who or what "Teb!" is.

MFS62 Sep 08 2019 08:15 AM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

I'm waiting for BVW to explain to us exactly why Stroman is better than Vargas. Later

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2019 08:29 AM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

Eight years younger, under team control for another year, an ERA a half run lower for his career and a full run lower for this season at the time of the deals. Do you really think this requires further explanation?

Edgy MD Sep 08 2019 10:35 AM Re: IGT 9/7/19 PHL @ NYM Onward, Teb!

I'm pretty sure the general manager doesn't need to let Stroman pitch better. And if the trade fails, then it does, but the idea that there wasn't justification a month ago for replacing Vargas with him isn't particularly fair. Meanswhilst, if we're going to Monday-morning quarterback that change, Stroman has a 5.05 ERA since the trade, while Vargas has a 4.93 figure. That's not a lot of difference to lament. And again, Sandy Koufax can't make a difference if the team don't score and the leftfielder don't catch. There was plenty of reason to have been against that trade but I don't think replacing Vargas should count as one. I'm kind of disappointed we miss him this series. And hey! How about those five scoreless innings from the bullpen with only one hit and no walks allowed.

But that Stroman's 2019 ERA jumped from 2.96 before the trade (and 3.91 for his career) to 5.05 since the deal is hardly an evaluation mistake by the GM.

"Onward, Teb" is a line from the movie Galaxy Quest.
