J.D. Davis? WHERE ARE YOU

The game is on FS1 FYI: all 3 games with the MFY are on national TV, Friday on MLBN (not exclusive so GKR will be on) Saturday on F*x (no GKR) Sunday on ESPN (no GKR).

Let's get thru the first inning, Cookie.

So you're saying these games have an outside shot of being over by 10PM?

Alonso might hit the sculpture, were it still there. What a bomb

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 07 2021 05:05 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Carrasco determined to give this lead right back

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 05:07 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

That was a fun pursuit by Pillar. Run hard for three steps, let up a bit for two, then accelerate again, and then let up a touch again.

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2021 05:08 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Fortunately for Carrasco, Pillar didn't panik on that long drive.

Which cereal brand is back in the replay review room?

I was thinking if I paid $x,xxx for a primo seat and that cereal thing was blocking my view I'd be pissed. Then I noticed everyone was looking at their phones so whatevs...

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2021 05:30 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

So even when Carrasco keeps the ball in the infield their runners still reach.

bmfc1 Sep 07 2021 05:49 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

If Pete struck out Edgy's head would have exploded.

It's hard to believe that baseball ratings are down with all of this action! Two runs on HBPs, a wimpy decision from the 3B coach preventing a potentially exciting play at the plate, managerial challenges galore! Baseball fever!

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2021 06:17 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Just in case you needed any evidence that the mere existence of replay changes the decisiveness of calls even before getting to replay, i give you this game.

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2021 06:20 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Three innings, one hour 38 minutes. Just a hair short of a five hour pace.

kcmets Sep 07 2021 06:22 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

And an hour and forty minutos to get through tres!

Why can't SNY use a scoring widget that has not only the pitcher/pitch count but also the batter and his stats? The MFYs have it.

Chisholm didn't like the trail of that pitch.

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2021 07:10 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

We've hit the 2-1/2 hours mark and there is one out in the 6th inning. During Ronnie & Keith's day (I picked 1985 for no particular reason) 1/4 of their games were already over by this point. The 2021 Mets have TWO (9-inning) games under 2:30

With healthy wheels, McNeil ought to be scoring on that error.

Agreed.

I also like when the score bug (that's what they call it) drops down to show the pitch sequence.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 07:22 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Talking about the length of the game, but it seems like most of it was the bottom of the third.

Hey look. Another error

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 07:25 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Mets take the lead thanks to the power of Jazz & Pop.

bmfc1 Sep 07 2021 07:26 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Have the Mets hit 85% b/c I don't see any masks in the dugout (other than the bat boy)? Perhaps Desantis confiscated them. To be clear that's 85% vaccinated, not 85% of the double plays in MLB this season, that one's obvious.

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2021 07:39 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Nice to see the opening pitches of the 7th inning slide in just under the 3 hour mark.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 07:54 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

May's looked terrific, but two guys have managed to hit their way on in an unlikely manner. I had been hoping against hope that the Mets would open the next inning with him, but that's not going to happen.

Fman99 Sep 07 2021 07:57 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

That's a big bad ass K there by May.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 07:59 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Maybe Jazz is supposed to be a secondbaseman after all.

3:59 but worth it for a win.

100% now. Phillies getting destroyed so the Mets gain on them. They also catch St. Louis in the Wild Card race provided the Dodgers close the deal.

G-Fafif Sep 07 2021 08:51 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

The first game the Mets have ever played in which they've notched precisely 9 runs, 6 hits, 3 errors.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 08:53 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Dodgers win. Mets catch the Cards. Albert Pujols hits his 679th career homer in his old haunts.

Suggestions please. specifics io the podcast: [url]https://www.barleyprose.com/podcast/mets-on-tap-episode-23/ but essentially, yeah, put Davis in left and figure it out. The only player on the Mets with a higher wRC+ is Nimmo and we just basically lost him.

Davis played on 52 innings in left last year, and is atrociously bad there. Playing him there regularly would appear to invite disaster, but I'd certainly be in favor trying it at least when facing a lefty.

Ceetar Sep 08 2021 09:57 AM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

They're playing Smith out there, who's come along a little bit, but not enough and he also doesn't hit. You could spot sit Báez, though the drop-off from Davis to him isn't as stark as to Pillar or Smith or McNeil. It's working okay against these garbage teams, but the Mets desperately need the added offense. But yes, some of this is a product of not having the foresight to play Davis in LF in the minors when he was rehabbing this injury. Or, you know, signing Springer.

Gwreck Sep 08 2021 10:40 AM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

To Rojas' credit, he stopped playing Smith. Sure, Smith did miss 3 games on the bereavement list, but in total he has 4 PA in the last 12 days. And while I agree that Pillar is not good, unless you seriously want to suggest Conforto in center (and I don't think you are doing that), there aren't better options that Pillar in the lineup. So again, it's really just Davis in for McNeil. I can get behind that, or at least as a platoon.

Ceetar Sep 08 2021 01:25 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

I am in fact suggesting Conforto for center. It's not ideal, and you'd want to bring Pillar defensively later in the game, but for a team that NEEDS more offense, you can't just not play Davis. they don't have that luxury. Of course with Nimmo out, you need TWO non-Conforto outfielders anyway. So we're probably stuck with Pillar, but Davis needs to be in there way more than he has been. Rojas had been liberally sitting Conforto too, which ain't great, unless there's something we don't know (lingering Covid fatigue or something)

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 01:47 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

Another option is Villar for center, opening up third for Davis or whoev.

Gwreck Sep 08 2021 04:58 PM Re: IGT 09/07 NYM@MIA Time to Moon Miami

I am reminded that for a time in 2007, the Mets had Carlos Gomez, Carlos Beltran, and Endy Chavez all starting in the same outfield; it was probably the greatest defensive starting outfield in the history of the Mets. Would Davis - Conforto - McNeil be the worst?
