Porkcello 1-4 6.43 vs TBD

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 30 2020 06:48 AM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

One at a time but we need another broomy day or someone's going to fire up the I Give Up thread.

Yanquis go with rookie Michael King and Mets have Rick Porcello tossing. How many times will Ron Darling refer to Porcello's 150 career wins. I'll go with three.

It's a good day for baseball, let's play 1.556

Another too quick top of the 1st for the Mets.

1.5555555556 lol; Ernie's rollin' in the grave (or churning in the urn).

27 pitch first for Porky, attaboy...

I was going to ask if he would be in the game long enough, but 27 pitches is a looooooong time.

I was just gonna say dinking and dunking like MFY's. Now Ramos needs to shank one onto the porch.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 12:29 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

And even in this inning, we've got three hits w/RiSP AND a Wild Pitch w/a runner on 3rd and somehow that all adds up to just two runs. Up to Nimmo to make this inning not a disappointment despite taking the lead.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 12:32 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

And after two runs are in and bases-loaded one out: Pop Foul followed by a K Nimmo gets kremed by Kriske

Edgy MD Aug 30 2020 12:32 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

So, who do you think the Mets will be using out of the pen this game? Shreve and Diaz?

Edgy MD Aug 30 2020 12:35 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Either way, it's always good to be the first team to chase the starter in game one of a doubleheader.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 12:37 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Ooooh, SNY is going to provide in depth analysis of a Jets practice. Set your DVRs

bmfc1 Aug 30 2020 12:46 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Alonso didn't score when he could have, Jimenez popped up with the bases loaded and one out, and then Nimmo struck out again. So of course they lose the lead right away.

Man, I don't know if Canó is ever going to get out of the DH slot if he keeps hitting like this.

ashie62 Aug 30 2020 12:55 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Canoooe! DH is a perfect spot for him at his age.

NOW Petey runs on a wild pitch!!!!!!

bmfc1 Aug 30 2020 01:09 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

If the Mets added a 3d C as the extra player instead of a pitcher they could PR for Ramos now.

Two on and no out in the sixth. Got to run for Ramoose here, right?

Edgy MD Aug 30 2020 01:15 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Three walks to start off the sixth. I'm not sure if we wouldn't be better off in the seventh inning games by just calling the opening inning "the third."

Edgy MD Aug 30 2020 01:19 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Game. Cracked. Open. I love seeing how many Mets have shortened up this game.

Not to sound ungrateful, but that's two straight innings leaving the bags loaded. And with this bullpen ...

I wonder if there's been a three-hour-plus 7-inning game yet his season? Cuz this one looks like it's headed that way.

Ya know, walking the leadoff batter with a 5-run lead should be a fineable offense.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 01:47 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

I like how the Yanx have only their top-priced sections -- the ones in front of the 'Moat' -- covered with a tarp. So what if those unwashed masses return to wet and/or sun-bleached seats, we know where our bread is really buttered.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 01:52 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

The bicycling distance, as suggested by Google Maps, from CitiField to YSIII is 13.3 miles if you cross the Ed Koch (59th St) Bridge then turn north up 2nd Avenue, or 16.4 if you want to head cross town first and take the Hudson River Greenway north so as to hit YSIII from the west. ... y'know, just in case Gary or Keith were wondering.

kcmets Aug 30 2020 02:02 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Um, if Diaz gives up a home run here, I'm going to bike to Yankee Stadium and strangle him.

bmfc1 Aug 30 2020 02:06 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Maybe bringing in a guy for the 3d day in a row when you have 3 fresh (albeit inexperienced) arms in the BP and a FIVE run lead isn't a good idea. Maybe you start with one of them and then bring in Hughes if you have to.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 02:07 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Error, Walk, HBP, Check Swing single followed what was essentially should have been a second error. Geez, at least make them earn it!!!!

Start pedaling, Lefty. Nope, not a good idea at all Luis. Neither were those defensive changes. I yelled, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" and my Google Assistant thought I was asking it for help.

Of the list of things that went wrong over the last few innings of that game Ramos not slapping the tag on the sliding runner is about 55th on most grievous sins, and even then the bigger crime there was the sub-par throw by Conforto; it was both looped and off line.

Lefty Specialist Aug 30 2020 03:00 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

I mean has any pitcher in Met history given up more nut-crushing homers than Diaz? Mel Rojas? I mean, there's nobody even close. He is just on his own planet. Does he have options so he can be sent to Brooklyn? Will he come up with a mysterious 'injury'? You can't pitch him again.

Fman99 Aug 30 2020 03:09 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

What a shitfuck of an ending that was. I felt the need to shower afterwards.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 03:13 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Diaz's HR rate is more than double as a NYM as compared to what it was w/Seattle (0.9 per/9 IP over the course of nearly three full seasons vs just north of 2.0 now) and nearly 3.5 times what it was in his 2018 season w/the Mariners (0.6) But the bigger problem is that you can't Not pitch him.

duan Aug 30 2020 03:33 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Christ that was horrendous. I too thought all the defensive moving around was possibly a bad idea - but really Diaz ...

smg58 Aug 30 2020 03:42 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

I can't blame Ramos for this one; the throw took him too far up the line. But Diaz is no less brutal than last year.

smg58 Aug 30 2020 03:48 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

PS Conforto looked really awkward twice going from the pickup to the throw. Are we sure he's not hurt?

ashie62 Aug 30 2020 03:58 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Consider Conforto lucky if he got to sit for awhile

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 03:58 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

The hit just short hopped him so he lost whatever momentum he had. But still, he doesn't have a RF arm and he seems insistent on getting the ball home on the fly.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2020 03:59 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

Why the hell would we want to sit Conforto???

batmagadanleadoff Aug 30 2020 04:14 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1

WTF happened here? I took a nap at 7-2 and woke up little while ago. I don't even wanna know the gory details. At 4-2, I was stewing because Alonso couldn't score from third on a pitch that got away and went to the backstop, figuring they'd pay for that eventually. But at 7-2 in the sixth, I was OK. I should've known better.

ashie62 Aug 30 2020 04:15 PM Re: IGT 08/30 - Mets at Skanks - Game 1
