Very very nice. Maybe Kooz can lighten up the mood at Citi.

Fman99 Aug 28 2021 05:38 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Happy for Kooz and his family. Sad that this is the team that's showing up to honor him in performance. Because they suck a lot of butt.

MFS62 Aug 28 2021 06:02 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

We would love to see him pull a Field of Dreams and put his uniform on and pitch again. But he'd would probably lose 1-0. Later

The Hot Corner Aug 28 2021 07:41 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Tonight the Mets will face a pitcher (Sean Nolin) who is 0-2 with an ERA of 9.00 and WHIP of 2.43 this season. His career numbers aren't aren't much better, 1-5, ERA 7.28 and WHIP 1.90. The Mets will start Marcus Stroman, who has has pitched very well the majority of the season, but has suffered from a total lack of offensive support. He has deserved much better. I will not be surprised if the Mets somehow make Nolin look like the second coming of Koufax tonight. Stroman will likely give another strong start, but will unfortunately give up 2 runs, which virtually assures him another loss. I hope I am wrong, but this is how I see it in my mind. Luckily, MLB has me blacked out for all Washington games, so I won't need to watch the Mets flail and fail offense. Hopefully, I will be pleasantly surprised when I will be pleasantly surprised when I check the score tomorrow morning.

And one of those games was against us (and Stroman), the first gave of a DH two weeks ago. But yup. This looks like a tidy 2-1 loss tonight, because this team is abjectly terrible. (Saw Nolin earlier this summer here in Rochester, where he pitched five mostly clean innings against the WooSox.)

Ceetar Aug 28 2021 09:42 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Pretty much the last legs here. If the Mets can win like.. 9/10 suddenly things are alive, but barring that, that math's against them.

kcmets Aug 28 2021 10:31 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

I don't know why, but I thought this was a day game and that I even thought I remembered that that the number ceremony started at 12:45. I'm losing it, and glad I didn't jump on a train which I considered early this morning.

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2021 10:34 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

I'm hoping that maybe they could retire the #1 tonight as well. As in one run (or fewer) scored in six of their 19 August losses. Or as in a one-run deficit like in nine of their August losses.

bmfc1 Aug 28 2021 10:55 AM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

While they're at it the Mets should tell Luis that his number (19) is being started and as a result, he can't manage anymore.

Of course, it should be a 1 PM start. There are no east coast 1 PM starts today (there are 2 on the west coast).

They're so confident Stroman is going to strike everybody out that they're playing without a first baseman! Memories of Satchel Paige. I love a team with guts like that. Later

Then can put up a lineup with all bullpen guys. Couldn't do much worse.

Jerry, the keys to Faber college are yours.

Very classy indeed.

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2021 05:33 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

So who's going to score our run tonight?

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2021 05:40 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

That was a gutsy move. The downside of failing to get an out there was YUGE

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2021 05:47 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

A bit too much drama for the top of the 1st, but i'll take the result.

ashie62 Aug 28 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Stroman got out of that. Wow.

bmfc1 Aug 28 2021 05:52 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

What a great play by Stroman. Gold Glove worthy.

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2021 06:06 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Insurmountable lead.

Ceetar Aug 28 2021 06:09 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

well, when you start Kevin Pillar repeatedly when you don't have to, you can't really expect to score runs.

bmfc1 Aug 28 2021 06:13 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Alonso, Baez, McNeil made this nobody look like Scherzer.

The Hot Corner Aug 28 2021 06:25 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Pillar says, "Take that, Ceetar."

Another great moment on the bases for Villar. I'm sure that JD's confidence is sky-high sitting against a lefty. And again, Alonso, Lindor and Baez made this garbage starter look like a star.

Villar needs to be in the lineup and bat first... gets caught stealing, can't beat out a grounder in the hole. Alonso and Baez did their parts to make another minor leaguer build up his resume for 2022. Boo the crap out them.

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2021 07:30 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Re: the Addams Famiky discussion, the bigger question is why the stadium feels that the few seconds during a pickoff attempt requires "filler"

bmfc1 Aug 28 2021 07:34 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Stroman threw 91 pitches and this is a must-game (I guess). He should have started the inning.

bottom of the lineup but approaching the 4th time through.



but I mean, Rojas is clueless regardless so who knows.

bmfc1 Aug 28 2021 07:46 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Luis decides, the Mets fall behind.

The Hot Corner Aug 28 2021 07:51 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Stroman deserves better. He (and most Mets pitchers) could sue the Mets offense for lack of support.

bmfc1 Aug 28 2021 07:59 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Remember when the Mets played SF on August 18 and Luis had Maz bunt to lead off the top of the 10th and Maz made an out erasing the runner on 2d? I do but Luis forgot. That was 10 days ago. I'm starting to think that Luis is being paid by other teams to hurt the Mets (despite the Conforto HR).

Edgy MD Aug 28 2021 08:38 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Wow. I had utterly gotten over the notion of Conforto as a guy who could win a game with his bat. This not particularly fair, but I would have had more faith in Jason Bay or Michael Cuddyer coming into tonight.

MFS62 Aug 28 2021 09:08 PM Re: IGT 8/282021 - Wash@NYM - There are no words.

Somebody talk Koosman into sticking around for a while. He might be a lucky charm. Later
