IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Fman99 Aug 01 2020 05:41 AM

I have missed this entire week's slate of games, as I've been up in the Adirondacks on vacation with the family all week and we have no TV up here to watch. And from the reading I've done maybe this isn't such a bad thing. Wacha vs Touki Toussaint. A 7:10 PM start and I'll be watching for sure (we're driving home in a few hours).

The weird thing is to think we're kind of watching spring training play here, and if there is a season, the first place team might not be the best, but simply the one who got their rust off in eight games, rather than fifteen or sixteen.

This lines up to be a runfest

Lefty Specialist Aug 01 2020 09:28 AM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Ugh. Will Wacha be good and the bullpen blows it, or will Wacha be bad and the bullpen is irrelevant, or will Touki throw a two-hit shutout? Or some combination of all three?

MFS62 Aug 01 2020 09:41 AM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

You just have a feeling that someone named Touki Toussaint will be a thorn in our side for many years to come. Later

Please let baseball live beyond this weekend!!

True. But so what, when more than half the teams will qualify for the playoffs.

Or release about 30 albums of New Orleans classics with his Jambalaya All-Stars before his 40th birthday. (Though none of those albums would truly capture how much the band smoked live!)

Have you seen the cookbook, though? If you've never had jerk gumbo before... you will if you cook it for yourself, having read the recipe in his cookbook!

Fman99 Aug 01 2020 05:16 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Finally I am home on a day where there's baseball. I'm hoping the season lasts a bit longer.

Fman99 Aug 01 2020 05:31 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Marcell Ozuna can fuck off in yet another opponent uniform.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2020 05:37 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

So that's now 21 of the 49 runs allowed by the NYM staff so far this season that have come with 2 outs These two were after two were out and none on and a 1-2 count.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2020 05:57 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Hey check it out, more two out runs coughed up!

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2020 06:02 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less? Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 01 2020 06:06 PM

The Mets have scored 11 runs this season (8 games + 2 innings) with two outs. The Braves have scored 10 two-out runs in their last 10 innings!! ... five of their 11 Friday night runs (including the game winners) plus all five so far tonight.

Doesn't. bother me any. I'm here for Jake's brilliance. -- peak Hall of Fame caliber pitching in the prime. Cherish it while it lasts.



Win totals? This season's a farce and eight teams get in. Any team that doesn't qualify, assuming we get there, doesn't deserve a shred of sympathy or analysis explaining why not. We're like a few days away from having a modern day version of Pete Gray suit up.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2020 06:21 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Not that we've earned any breaks here or deserved any better, but has an opponent hit a bloop or a swinging bunt so far this season that hasn't dropped in? If they hit 'en hard, it's a hit. If they hit 'em soft, it's a hit.

There's a bit of correlation between the incidence of these things and how shitty your team is at getting to and catching balls in flight.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 01 2020 06:23 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Zack Wheeler is 3rd in ERA. Wheeler + Syndergaard > Porcello + Wacha

There's a bit of correlation between the incidence of these things and how shitty your team is at getting to and catching balls in flight. That can be a factor, sure. But it seems like I've seen more fisted pieces o' shit flares that three Usain Bolts couldn't get within 30 feet of, or dribblers that you know are hits by bounce #2

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2020 06:43 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

First two guys on, then a walk loads the bases ... and no runs because no one else gets the ball out of the IF (2 Ks)

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2020 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Now two consecutive innings w/bases-loaded and <2 outs results in a grand total of one run. And even the lone hit w/RiSP didn't even cash in a run. Meanwhile, the game is more than two hours old and we're basically at halftime.

Fman99 Aug 01 2020 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Lol Keith not a fan of the strike zone box. Amusing to me

Yeah, but don't hang too much of this just on the DH Wacha threw 96 pitches just to get through the 4th, and Kilome needed 21 to complete his lone inning On the other side, starter Toussaint needed 74 to get thru 4 despite giving up just 3 hits, and then two relievers combined for 31 in the 5th Put another way, the Mets threw basically 8 innings of normal pitching and the Braves 7 frames worth just to get through the 5th, or about half again as many as would be a normal workload.

ashie62 Aug 01 2020 07:42 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Wacha and Toussaint threw an abundance of pitches. Other than that, what a mess

Fman99 Aug 01 2020 07:47 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Yah I hate watching them get cock stomped like this.

ashie62 Aug 01 2020 07:52 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Maybe Alonso has hangover from last season's homerun derby

ashie62 Aug 01 2020 08:27 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Oye, we're looking at 20-40 At some point the Mets may get to look at many pitchers auditioning for 2021 and that would be productive Wins wise, the 1962 Mets are likely off the (Jay) hook

kcmets Aug 01 2020 08:30 PM Re: IGT 8/1 NYM @ ATL Uh Please Suck Less?

Too bad Kilome couldn't get an AB, he was the only guy worth watching.
