The Cy guys are at it: deGrom vs. Ryu. Let's help Jake win something. Coupla somethings, actually. Rosario SS Davis LF McNeil RF Alonso 1B Ramos C Cano 2B Frazier 3B Lagares CF deGrom P

Scoreless after one, a touch of mist in the Flushing air, per Howie.

Ryu looks like he's wearing one of Jonathan Broxton's old uniforms.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 06:13 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

I was looking for Burt Sugarman behind home plate, and then I realized I was watching a Mets home game.

Pete's struggling a little.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2019 06:38 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Jake's got a pitch count that should allow him to get at least into the 8th tonight.

G-Fafif Sep 14 2019 06:45 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Lotta pitching tonight.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 06:50 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

They start Lagares to cover center because analytics suggest that anybody who puts it in play against deGrom does it in the air, and everybody's pounding it into the ground.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 07:06 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

And deGrom ends his day after 101 pitches. It makes me feel very gruff. There's a playoff race going on, here.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2019 07:14 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Now let's go pound us some Dodger relievin'

41Forever Sep 14 2019 07:14 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Lugo should be the closer next year.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 07:18 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

I'm not sure why all the Mets' lefthanded batters got days off against these two All-Star portsiders the Dodgers have ... except Canó.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 07:26 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

I'm also unsure why they aren't running for Frazee Fantazee here. They have a surfeit of infielders, and he's going to be taken out as soon as that hand swells up anyhow.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 07:31 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

NOW Haggerty comes in to run.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 07:35 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

I'm not sure I wouldn't have sent up Rivera or Conforto here.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2019 07:37 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

THE RAJAH!!

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2019 07:39 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

It's not quite on a par with his WS HR, but it's a close second for me.

bmfc1 Sep 14 2019 07:39 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Not PH'ing Conforto for Lagares is an impeachable offense. This goes to what I've said about Mickey not doing anything to help the team win via his moves. However, Rajai comes through!

If he PH's Conforto there it sets up two straight LHBs (Conforto then Nimmo) and Roberts simply goes to Urias a batter earlier. Still a debatable (non) move, but I understand his thinking. oe: and of course it would weaken the defense.

Still a debatable (non) move, but I understand his thinking. Valid, but I don't think that Mickey thinks as thoroughly as you do. He might have wanted Juan's glove to stay around.

I was just adding my postscript as you replied.

. Mets can't be killed. Hello from Vegas

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2019 08:02 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

So we've now gone 5-1 since I said we'd need to go no worse than 16-4, leaving an 11-3 path in front of us. That's only a slightly smaller winning pct than 16-4 but LAD games represent now only 1/14 of the remainder (rather than 3/20 or 15%) while Marlin games (I know) jump to 4/14 or 28.5% (up from 20%) Still might not matter if the teams in front of us win a few of their own (Cubs won again today, Brewers are winning) but all they can do is take care of our end and, for a week now, they've been doing just that.

This was a great game.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2019 07:06 AM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Anybody else briefly worry that Nimmo was going to get called back after his HbP, as he did twice last season, for not doing enough to dodge the pitch?

The two times Brandon got flagged for that last year were more a case of purposely and pretty obviously moving into the pitch rather than simply not doing enough to get out of the way. One, IIRC, was pretty damn blatant; the other one less so but still a lot more than last night. I think it's a move that players get away with too often -- particularly in the elbow pad era -- and wouldn't mind seeing umps call it more, but even then I didn't think last night's qualified.

G-Fafif Sep 15 2019 12:13 PM Re: IGT 9/14/2019: LAD @ NYM -- Oh Very Young

Those two HBPs in the 8th contributed to not just a Mets win but Mets history, the kind you can read about here.

Good read. Ron Hunt and Kevin McReynolds in the same piece. Yeah!
