Spark at the Park!

This new lineups shyness the Mets have been rocking is getting to be a thing.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 04:16 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Ultimately, they post a not-uninteresting lineup. J.D. Davis gets to use his infielder's glove, Guillorme is gets selected against the lefty ahead of Canó or McNeil, and Nimmo gets the opportunity over Jankowski or maybe Smithtown. The Mets may need one more righthanded bat.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 05:21 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Wilmer makes it 3-0. Wilmer's at third. The Mets may need to bunt their way back into this.

Methead Apr 20 2022 05:22 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Hmm.

Willets Point Apr 20 2022 05:23 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Wilmer, how could you?!?!?

Fman99 Apr 20 2022 06:12 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Not much to cheer for thus far

kcmets Apr 20 2022 06:19 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

I need to catch up, I missed everything. 4-sniffle through three.

Shanahnahnah ah nahnahah lol

Frayed Knot Apr 20 2022 07:13 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Doesn't look like they're even going to pretend to score tonight.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Two men on now. I know somebody has reached second earlier in this game, but it feels like this is the first time.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 07:38 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Mets score one on an impossibly perfectly placed flare. Perhaps the shift helped us there.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 07:38 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

And then Marte ends it all.

Frayed Knot Apr 20 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Which of the triumvirate thought That was a good idea?

kcmets Apr 20 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Marte gets a lucky ribeye. Marte pushes the stolen-base envelope and kills a potential rally.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 07:42 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Or which of the triumverate forgot it was his job to put the red light on?

Fman99 Apr 20 2022 07:45 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

That was an ill timed steal attempt by Marte for sure

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Mets having some opposite field dink success this game. Just looking for the big hit. Canha now coming up against this righty killer?

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

And Canha pulls it off!! Tying run at the plate!!

Cano is awful.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

I didn't know Wilmer even had a vertical leap. Bleh.

Fman99 Apr 20 2022 08:09 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

I am trying to make it to the end of the game but it's not looking so likely.

kcmets Apr 20 2022 08:11 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

So are the Mets.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 08:16 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Well, Reid and Foley have made a good pair this evening.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 08:19 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Lefty closer, so McCann gets to hit. This could be a Casey at the Bat inning if Alonso can get to the plate.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 08:23 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Shoulda bunted, Nimmux.

Edgy MD Apr 20 2022 08:32 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

MFS62 Apr 21 2022 06:41 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

On the list of all-time Mets managers that ranks them by games won/lost who gets the loss? Do each of the managing coaches get one-third of a loss? We need a ruling on this. Later

Benjamin Grimm Apr 21 2022 07:13 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Showalter is the manager, even when he's not there. It's his loss.

Mets Win Expectancy after Nimmo singled to center in the seventh: 2.4% Mets Win Expectancy after Marte followed that up with a single to center of his own: 5.0% Mets Win Expectancy after Marte then got caught stealing: 2.5% Marte giveth and Marte taketh. While that was an unforced error, the real killer-diller in the night was Robinson Canó's groundout the next inning.

ashie62 Apr 21 2022 08:41 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

That they can calculate these percentages is mind boggling.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 21 2022 08:47 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

We're kinda going on faith that they're accurate.

Frayed Knot Apr 21 2022 09:35 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Well they are accurate, just in a generic sense. Essentially they're saying that teams in the position of the Mets in that specific situation [score, baserunners, outs remaining] have a 2.5% chance of winning. iow, put a team in that situation 1,000 times and they'd come back to win in 25 of them. New positive plays improve those odds by calculate amounts just as negative ones lower them right up until the final out gets you to 100 or 0 depending on which dugout you're in. But those odds are not specific to the particular teams playing; who's available that day, or where in the lineup they are; who's on the mound and who's warming up; the stadium, weather, importance, etc.

Edgy MD Apr 21 2022 10:13 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 20 7:10 PM SF @ Mets

Exactly. One team in that situation may have Al Leiter coming up and no better options on the bench, and Randy Johnson staring down at him from the mound. While another team may have Babe Ruth coming up and Bob Meusel on the bench, and Sloppy Thurston toeing the rubber. In a vacuum, with all teams being one, they average to a 5.0% likelihood of winning, but Starling Marte would have a lot more reason to run in the former situation than in the latter.

UNKNOWN BALTIMORE CITY WORKER TALKING TO ME IN THE SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT: Is Showalter gonna lead you guys to the World Series this year? EDGY (TO SELF): (I guess he noticed my Mets hat.) EDGY: I'm hoping so. He wasn't able to manage last night. He was away to have a medical procedure and nobody knew who was in charge of the team. UNKNOWN BALTIMORE CITY WORKER: Yeah, I read about in the New York Post. We all love Buck here. EDGY (TO SELF): (Yeah, that's cool, but ... what kind of nut do you have to be to live in Baltimore and make a daily habit of reading The New York Post?) EDGY: Yeah, that's cool.
