IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

kcmets Jun 13 2021 06:30 PM

Arrieta 5-6, 4.97 Peterson 1-5, 6.32

Frayed Knot Jun 13 2021 06:36 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Cubs are at home in the SNB game right now leading 2-0 in the 6th inning, so they're getting in pretty late tonight. Been hot lately though. They took 5 of 6 from SDP shortly before we played them and are 26 - 12 since May 1st

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 14 2021 10:29 AM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

We owe these frauds a good beating, having been largely non-competitive in a 3-game sweep in Wrigleyville in April.

kcmets Jun 14 2021 10:32 AM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Rainy Monday in the tri-state area. Last thing this team needs is another postponed game. NOAA - Corona, NY - A chance of showers, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 9pm. Low around 66. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 14 2021 10:36 AM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

They'll play

Jake Marisnick may be the first ex-Met to play in front of Mets fans at a Mets home game who never played as a Met in front of Mets fans at a Mets home game.

G-Fafif Jun 14 2021 02:52 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Jake Marisnick will not be the first ex-Met to play in front of Mets fans at a Mets home game who never played as a Met in front of Mets fans at a Mets home game. Brad Clontz was a Met in 1998 whose only two appearances as a Met were on the road. In 1999, he appeared twice as an ex-Met/current Buc at Shea (with fans in attendance), the second time most notably when he unleashed the wild pitch that allowed Melvin Mora to score from third in Game 162.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 14 2021 02:54 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Arguable whether Mets fans were ever Marisnick fans

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 02:54 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

That was a pretty intense eight minutes worth of research by g-fafif.

G-Fafif Jun 14 2021 03:01 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Come to think of it, Guillermo Heredia played three games at Citi Field in front of nobody as a 2020 Met and in front of fans as an ex-Met at Citi Field last month. Marisnick played seven home games as a 2020 Met. By playing tonight, he may set some sort of ex-Met record for never having heard, at a Mets home game, a single Mets fan cheer directed at him, unless there's pent-up after-the-fact appreciation about to manifest itself.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 14 2021 03:48 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

The most games by a Met who never played a home game is 6, for Travis Blankenhorn. In second place is Jake Hager with 5. Of players who didn't play in 2021, the leader is Jerry May, with 4 games. 3 each for Chip Ambres, Tony Armas, Emil Brown, Rick Sweet, Todd Haney, and Felix Heredia. For players who never played a road game as a Met, Ken Henderson is the all-time leader in games played, with 7. Ike Hampton, Kevin Kaczmarski, and Andy Green all have 4, and there are 3 each for Mark Little, Joe Vitko, and Buddy Baumann.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 03:57 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Gary Bennett, joining the club as the bounty for Todd Pratt, enjoyed his one righteous game as a Met in the unfriendly confines of Pro Player Stadium in 2001, before being flipped for a PtBNL (eventually to become Ender Chavez) exactly a month later. He visited Shea as a Rockie the following May, and presumably drank up the appreciation.

G-Fafif Jun 14 2021 04:12 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Met home games among 2020 Mets who weren't Mets before 2020 and haven't played as Mets at home in 2021: Andres Gimenez 26 Chasen Shreve 10 Billy Hamilton 9 Jared Hughes 8 Jake Marisnick 7 Robinson Chirinos 6 Rick Porcello 6 Dellin Betances 4 Brian Dozier 4 Guillermo Heredia 3 Hunter Strickland 3 Michael Wacha 3 Eduardo Nunez 2 Erasmo Ramirez 2 Ali Sanchez 2 Ryan Cordell 1 Franklyn Kilome 1 Betances has played for the Mets in 2021, but only on the road (one game, in Philadephia; has begun a rehab stint with St. Lucie). Kilome is at Syracuse. Everybody else has moved on. Neither Gimenez nor Hamilton is scheduled to play at Citi Field this season. Hughes is retired. Only Chasen Shreve, currently with Pittsburgh, looms as having a chance this season to best Marisnick as most Queens-experienced Silent Generation Met to come back to Citi Field with no idea what it's like to be cheered by Mets fans at home.

Wow. This is quite the cul-de-sac.

Get your fucking head out of your fucking ass, Pete.

Lefty Specialist Jun 14 2021 05:37 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Michael Milken is a disgusting human being who should still be in prison, not palling around with Steve Cohen.

Frayed Knot Jun 14 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

I think Pillar just may have set a ML record for most combined distance between bat & ball on three swinging strikes. I don't think he came within two feet of making contact in any of those pitches.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 06:21 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Arrieta seems to be two steps ahead of batters, and he sure has to be, because I'm not seeing anything in his stuff.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 06:24 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Five outfielders against McKinney. Eventually, somebody's got to learn to bunt again.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 06:28 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

It's nice to see Arrieta lose whatever edge he had just as I tip my derby to him.

Peterson is pitching his way back into good graces.

Lefty Specialist Jun 14 2021 06:39 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Peterson, pitching for his baseball life, has acquitted himself quite nicely tonight.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 06:44 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Indeed. And Smitty wants into the Schaefer Circle.

Lefty Specialist Jun 14 2021 06:48 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

And they let Peterson go out for the 6th, not a given these days. Good.

Lefty Specialist Jun 14 2021 06:49 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

So of course he walks the leadoff hitter.

Lefty Specialist Jun 14 2021 06:57 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

But he escapes. Well done.

Frayed Knot Jun 14 2021 07:01 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

And now he's out, bringing up the same conversation as yesterday just one inning removed.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 07:13 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

It's a different conversation. You're never as bad as you look when you're losing, but I'm not seeing a first-place team in this Cubbage squad, and I'm squinting real hard.

Frayed Knot Jun 14 2021 07:15 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

This is the kind of game that's gotta be killing Cubs fans, not just all those two out RBI hits but two out hits that are being set up by two out walks!

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 07:18 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Yeah, the Tommy Nance who dropped that curve on McKinney didn't seem like the same pitcher who took over after that.

Fman99 Jun 14 2021 07:26 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Boy, Rizzo squared the fudgems out of that pitch.

Going 6 and getting out of there with a 4-0 lead after the disaster of those last 2 starts was wise. Of course, Trevor May isn't exactly helping the cause here.

Fman99 Jun 14 2021 07:28 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Trevor May suck at pitching

Frayed Knot Jun 14 2021 07:29 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Rizzo hit one like that a couple days ago but on a pitch even more inside to the point where he nearly fell over swinging ... and it went just about as far.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 07:30 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Sometimes it seems like May's deliberate motion kind of helps the hitter time the pitch.

Lefty Specialist Jun 14 2021 07:33 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Trevor might be getting to that announcing career sooner than he thought.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 07:50 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Pete's homer barrage in Baltimore is feeling far away.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 07:54 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

It's a good day for pickoffs. Maybe it's Contreras making them a first-place team.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 07:58 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

The funny thing is that Rizzo missed the tag, but it didn't matter, because Alonso's slide left him 12 inches short of the bag and a sitting duck.

Frayed Knot Jun 14 2021 08:01 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Javy Baez has been sidelined recently with sprained tattoos.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 08:05 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

I'll say this for Arrieta: If his sweet nude spread from six years ago is any indicator, he's a rare tatt-free pitcher.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jun 14 2021 08:24 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Books! Diaz spitting hot fire

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 08:25 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Diaz brought the plow tonight, and went straight through Contreras, Bryant, and Rizzo.

Frayed Knot Jun 14 2021 08:28 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

It's certainly possible that we'll never come to Not hate the trade. But it's also possible that the ultimate success/not success of this season could depend on Edwin Diaz. And, under the right circumstances, that could make the deal worthwhile no matter what Kelenic goes on to do over the next 15 years.

Edgy MD Jun 14 2021 08:50 PM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

There's also Justin Dunn on the other side of that. And Anthony Swarzak and Guerson Batista. Plus the cash the Mets got. You can't put a value on cash ... or something.

duan Jun 15 2021 04:34 AM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

Sit down Rizzo, you unvaccinated twat! Can anyone tell me who is to blame for the mets not being @ 85% - Michael Conforto, JD Davis & James McCann all were quoted by Newsday at one time or other saying "personal decision" WTF is that all about.

Lefty Specialist Jun 15 2021 05:33 AM Re: IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

They keep vaccination status under tight wraps because it's become so politicized. It shouldn't be, but it is. Nice, crisp win, with the exception of Trevor hiccups. Hopefully Peterson found what he was doing wrong and has corrected it.

It's frigging embarrassing. Pete appeared in the "Get Vaccinated" concert (during the sports montage) so I'm sure he's vacc'd. Luis and Lindor are, too. Don't the holdouts want to hit 85% so they don't have to wear masks in the dugout?
