Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Cuban righty Johan Oviedo opposes. He's been pretty good so far.

Commence the Quattlebombing has to be a finalist in thread title of the year awards. Quattlebomb is © worthy. Hell, I may not Kaboom again all season. #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

We didn't have a thread title nearly as good when Chris Chambliss replaced Dave Engle.

I am so there for the Quattlebombing.

Does Quattle rhyme with bottle? Or if it rhymes with battle, I'm all in. Later

Lindor has to hit eventually.

I think so too, but we were probably saying the same thing about Jason Bay.

There's a middle infielder whose production dropped off a cliff after a move from Cleveland to Flushing that comes to mind too.

He's not doing so hot in the other thread either.

Yup.

Where's the thread? I thought Alvaro Espinosa did OK. Or are we talking about Carlos Baerga?

Cleveland screwed the Mets on the Lindor trade. Big time.

DeGrom reportedly scratched with lat issue. Yamamoto to start.

LWFS May 04 2021 02:59 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

There are little spoonfuls of news that Jake might be a late scratch with a lat issue. Or, rather, a little garbage plate. EDIT: Now confirmed by Heyman, Sherman, and several of the beats.

G-Fafif May 04 2021 03:02 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Castro to start.

"Right side tightness."

He's been jinxed by all the Cy Young talk.

On the plus side, we DO get to see Yamamoto tonight, most likely

I think the math says that deGrom being scratched increases our chances of winning the game, or at least of scoring runs. Unless it turns out to be serious, of course, in which case it fucks our entire season.

ashie62 May 04 2021 05:08 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Ah, deGrom should be out like a month.

ashie62 May 04 2021 05:20 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Lindor reminds of Jason Bay but without the talent.

I agree. It's been a month already with only 12 off days due to rain, snow, cold, & Covid mixed in so, with only 10 years + 5 months to go, the verdict is clearly in, especially with Rosario & Ginenez both doing so well.

G-Fafif May 04 2021 05:59 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

No IL for deGrom. No throwing for a couple of days, either. “Inflammation” in the right lat, the MRI showed, per the Mets.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 04 2021 06:28 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Rained out. See you tomorrow

Fman99 May 04 2021 07:32 PM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Just when it was clearing in Saint Louey, too. Just as well. Sure didn't want to watch this bullpen burn itself out over 9 innings.

Frayed Knot May 05 2021 04:38 AM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Of the 34 days since the entire league schedule was to kick off on April 1, the Mets have now been idle on 13 of them (38%) due to rain, snow, Covid, or just plain scheduled off-days. That's basically playing five games every eight days on average and only 17 of the 21 games they have played have been full games thanks to the Double Header rules. With the exception of the Nats (25) every other team has played between 28 & 31 games meaning the Mets have played, to date, 2/3 to 3/4 of a season so far compared to the rest. Oakland has nearly as many wins (19) as the Mets have games played (23) Not saying this is an excuse for the offense ... but I'm sure it's not helping. Also not saying this is the cause of my new meth habit ... but it's not helping.

Ceetar May 05 2021 07:27 AM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

it's also not going to help when, in a long season after a short one, players get a little fatigued and the mets have fewer off days than everyone else. no IL for deGrom _yet_, but they were going to send down the reliever anyway, who wasn't available. And today they get an extra guy and 4 less innings because Manfred Hates Baseball, so they're not really losing out on roster spots.

kcmets May 05 2021 07:47 AM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

I forgot about that 7 inning bullshit for today's games.

Frayed Knot May 05 2021 07:51 AM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

Our fifth and sixth 7-inning games of the year, aka: 24% of the total to date. First pitches scheduled for 5:15 EDT for Game 1 and ... whenever for the nightcap.

bmfc1 May 05 2021 08:21 AM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

I forgot about that 7 inning bullshit for today's games. Dr. Anthony Fauci said yesterday that the US is in the "bottom of the sixth" in the Covid-19 timeline. A reply tweet asked if it was a 7 or 9 inning game.

bmfc1 May 05 2021 08:26 AM Re: Commence the Quattlebombing: Mets-Cards IGT 5/4/21 starring Jacob deGrom and Francisco Lindor

3 games in 24 hours. Fun for us, tough for them Some good data above from FK, acting as our Steve Kornacki. From a selfish (and irrelevant to the CPF) perspective, I have 4 Mets hitters on a fantasy team so 7-inning games aren't helping me build the "counting stats".
