Brewers @ Mets - July 6, 2021

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2021 01:53 PM

The second half of the schedule starts with tonight's tilt even if statistically the "second half" stats will only be those posted a week from Friday after the ASB And what a better way to kick off the back nine than with Jacob of Grom on the hill, just as we did when teeing off on #1 I'd call Milwaukee lefty Brett Anderson tonight's sacrificial lamb except that we tend to lose JdG starts with alarming frequency and sense-defying logic. Anderson, a 33 y/o in his 13th ML season, is just off the IL having previously made 12 starts in 2021 with a none-too-impressive 4.69 ERA and 1.458 WHiP NYM bats have made a habit of making mediocre pitchers look great over the last month (or three) but in the last few games they have gotten to the likes of Cole, Chapman, and Woodruff so maybe things are looking up.

Well, the Mets have won 10 of Jacob's 14 starts this year, and 8 of 12 last year, so the trend of losing his starts hasn't been as much of a thing recently. In both of deGrom's Cy Young seasons (2018 and 2019) the Mets were 14-18 in his starts.

I don't know if this makes me a good parent or a bad one or a good or bad fan but we made a game time decision to turn back given the biblical storm that just ripped though Queens. Now I'm half-hoping for a rainout as I owe the Pail a game and don't want to miss a deGrom start.

Downed trees all over Astoria. But I'm currently at LaGuardia and the rain has stopped.

The window to play is not until 10pm. Doesn't look good.

This game is toast.

Ceetar Jul 06 2021 06:31 PM Re: Brewers @ Mets - July 6, 2021

probably get an official start time in a few minutes. My money's on 9:25.

The home team controls whether to start the game. I can't see the Mets giving up the two deGrom starts (if rained out tonight, he won't go Sunday) unless they absolutely have to.

PointsBet just posted the over/under is 9:30 so you're cutting it close.

I have three Draft Kings lineups with deGrom, so pitch!

I'm getting sleepy.

It's coming down in sheets again

ashie62 Jul 06 2021 07:24 PM Re: Brewers @ Mets - July 6, 2021

Dominic and Alonso have more hits than Lindor. .219 hitters should not be allowed to wear a colored do.

it is supposed to rain the next five days. Yikes.

Gwreck Jul 06 2021 07:47 PM Re: Brewers @ Mets - July 6, 2021

Steve C. tweeted it was postponed as the Citi Field PA/Scoreboard announced the Mets were “hopeful” that they would play tonight. https://twitter.com/timbritton/status/1412587467161714691?s=21

Postponed. Pete, don't participate in the HR derby!

Banged. Splitsies tomorrow. 2:10, 7:10, 7 each.

Gwreck Jul 06 2021 08:11 PM Re: Brewers @ Mets - July 6, 2021

Fans with tickets for both games are owed (but will not get) a 22% refund.

I had like two hours of kitchen chores to do last night, so this was a real crimp in my evening to not also have a deGrom/Mets game to watch. Having said that, it did make it a bit easier for us to focus on recording episode 15 of the (euphemistically) much beloved Mets on Tap podcast, brought to you by the word smythes of Barley Prose (myself, Ceetar and Seawolf this week).
