IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

Great pitching matchup The little out there on Howard leads me to believe he is a gas can LGM!

Benjamin Grimm Aug 14 2020 04:25 AM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

Hmmm... Do I watch this live, with the Phillies announcers, or wait until tomorrow morning so I can watch Gary, Keith, and Ron? This is what I'll be pondering all day.

deGrom has been scratched, likely because of the blister issue that was discussed during his last start. Lockett looks like tonight's SP.

Edgy MD Aug 14 2020 01:43 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

It's almost charming that finger blisters are still a thing that can get a starting pitcher cut from the lineup in 2020.

bmfc1 Aug 14 2020 01:47 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

It's neck tightness: https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1294359493808140288

Edgy MD Aug 14 2020 01:51 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

Well, that's not nearly as charming.

MFS62 Aug 14 2020 01:55 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

ruh roh. Neck sounds dangerously close to the back, which has given him problems from time to time throughout his career. And Lockett sounds dangerously like rocket, the trajectory of many baseballs he has thrown throughout his career. I fear we are in for a long, unpleasant evening in that band box. Later

ashie62 Aug 14 2020 02:13 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

And the starter is WALKER LOCKETT

Ugh. Hopefully Jake will be ready to go before his next turn in the order comes around.

It's neck tightness: https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1294359493808140288 Maybe it's a tight blister on his neck ... or a neck blister on his tights? Either way, I don't like it.

I was going to say Lockett faced one batter too many, but he's still out there. Don't we have ten relievers?

smg58 Aug 14 2020 07:02 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

I'm really starting to like Luis Guillorme.

Guimmo

bmfc1 Aug 14 2020 07:04 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

After the double it was time to get him out. I hope that Luis wasn't trying to get him through 5 so he could get a win.

Bad karma as SNY plays music from Curb Your Enthusiasm to a montage of Phillies' mistakes tonight while PHI leads the game.

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2020 07:34 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

And as we see on almost a daily basis, no one is even pretending that there's a need for 'clear and convincing evidence' in order to overturn a call even though that was the supposed selling point of using replay in the first place.

Fman99 Aug 14 2020 07:39 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

Given this being a Lockett start I'm happy that it's still within reach. Having said that, I thought this bullpen was supposed to be turrible.

Hamilton should not be on the roster tomorrow. He does not have the luxury of running into bad outs, because his speed is his only skill.

It actually took a nice hustle and throw from Gregorius to make that play ... but that has to be a 100% chance (or higher) of making it before you try.

I have to say, it was terrifying even facing Harper in a game situation without being able to go to a LOOGy there. But whatever hand you throw with, giving him a pitch over the plate with an 0-2 count was drinking poison. Just a bad appearance by Lugo.

I'm fine with Ali Sanchez who is an excellent defensive C. Nido is a better defensive C than Ramos and since neither can hit, yesterday notwithstanding, you might as well play Nido.

Frayed Knot Aug 14 2020 08:56 PM Re: IGT 8/14 Mets @ Filthies deGrom v Spencer Howard

Well considering that I wouldn't recognize Ali Sanchez if stuck on an elevator with him and that his AAA resume (56 ABs) consists of a sub-.200 BA and that his ML resume consists of one AB where he grounded into a DP, I'm going to hold off on sanctioning his elevation to #1 (or #2) catcher.
