The triumphant (hopefully) return of Tylor Megill, against the lightly touted Angels hurler Tee B. Dee. Get a nap in, we're still on fuck the East coast time zone here for two more games.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2022 06:14 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Friday night's game posts a 9:38 first pitch. Saturday the locals go full 10:08 on us before the four letter network dials us back to a 7:08 start on Sunday night for the second time in three weeks

Tee B Dee? Is he a rapper or a pitcher?

kcmets Jun 10 2022 02:26 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Any Marte/Alonso news? I looked around a little, most updates are still from Wednesday.

Wayne Randazzo will be doing the PBP tonight on Apple+, so put on Apple+ now to watch the 1st episode of the new season of "For All Mankind", and when it's over it will be gametime.

Neither in the lineup today; neither going on the DL. Both expected to play this weekend.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2022 06:31 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Angels held off announcing the starting pitcher. Mets held off submitting their lineup. So the Angels did too. Weird gamesmanship between a big ol' vet manager and brand new one. Alonso back in the lineup and playing the field. Buck, apparently agreeing with me that Cahna lacks the arm for right, gives McNeil what I think is his first start this year in right.

I just realized that this is an Apple+ game. I wasn't going to see the whole thing anyway and now this means I won't see any of it.

Jhonathan's name is spelled stoopidly.

Yeah, that's why I'm rooting for Tylor.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2022 07:38 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Wayne Randazzo and Hunter Pence (?!) with the call.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2022 07:43 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

If Diaz keeps missing up like this, he's gonna get pummeled.

Some third voice, female, just came over the air, talking to Hunter Pence about Full House.

Tylor goes 1-2-3 through the first, pitching from 97 to 99.

Diaz knocked out in the second inning of the first game of the series. We may end up seeing Syndergaard this weekend after all.

I hate the overslide rule. I get it, it's always been part of baseball, but we didn't always have replay. Unless you overslide it dramatically (I don't know how to define that) you are safe.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2022 09:44 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Peterson comes on for the Mets in a gift of a spot, becoming the pitcher of record if he can just manage one inning, and he ekes his way through.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2022 09:52 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Mets hitting against the shift for a two-run double. Just beat the shift all day, men.

batmagadanleadoff Jun 10 2022 09:54 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 10 2022 09:55 PM

I don't think that Peterson needs to pitch an inning to qualify for the W. Because Megill, the Mets starter, pitched less than five innings yet departed with the Mets leading, the scorer has discretion to award the W to any Mets pitcher other than Megill should the Mets win the game. I think that theoretically, Pererson doesnt even have to retire a single batter to get the W.

Mets players hit a deep drive, and I see Lagares pursuing it, and I accidentally root for him out of force of habit.

I think that theoretically, Pererson doesnt even have to retire a single batter to get the W. A coupl'a things here: I re-read the rule for pitcher wins. My post above in the quote box is correct. But I knew that and that's not why I re- read the rule. I learned something new after the re-read that I never knew before about the rule for assigning pitcher wins --- a rule that I think is remarkable. Also, I've never ever seen this wrinkle in the rule that I just learned, ever applied. It'll likely come up when there's a vulture win. The scorer is not obligated to award a reliever the win even though the reliever is the pitcher of record and in line for the win if, in the scorer's view, that reliever's outing was "brief and ineffective". The scorer may then, in his discretion, award the win to some other pitcher, if some other pitcher appeared in the game.

Fman99 Jun 11 2022 03:55 AM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Somehow I missed the Nimmo HR, transitioning from the feed in my vehicle back into the house. Went to bed up 4-2 and happy that it stuck. At 4-4 so far on this road trip.

bmfc1 Jun 11 2022 08:19 AM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

In an age when a SP goes 7 and it's considered rare the 5-inning minimum requirement for a SP to get a win needs to be revisited (of course, the "win" is silly but it's still a thing so let's forget that it's silly). Make it 4. No one will win 30 or even 20 because of such a change.

Edgy MD Jun 11 2022 08:54 AM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

That pretty much is where it adds up. Although, I would suggest making no minimum.

Frayed Knot Jun 11 2022 09:46 AM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

The existence of the minimum was to prevent pitcher wins from being manipulated; home team has a big bottom 1st (or 2nd or 3rd) manager pulls the pitcher so he can start him 2 days later and hopefully get him another quick W. Guy wins 75 games that way. A lot of 'openers' would have snagged wins over the last couple seasons w/no minimum ... most notably those on Tampa. With the value of the big W already devalued, scrapping the min would make wins easier to 'assign' but at the same time make them mean even less.

Edgy MD Jun 11 2022 10:03 AM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

I'm not sure they can mean less than they do now. I don't see a guy gaining 75 wins by pitching two innings every third day. He might earn a lot of decisions (though less than 75), but a whole lot of them won't be wins.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 11 2022 02:49 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

I think the win should be at the discretion of the official scorer. If a pitcher goes eight scoreless innings, then a reliever allows the game to be tied in top of the ninth but the home team walks off with the win in the bottom of the inning, the win should go to the starter.

Edgy MD Jun 11 2022 03:48 PM Re: IGT Fri Jun 10 NYM @ LAA

Or just divide the win up according to Schaefer voting.

I totally agree. Scorers should have discretion when there is only one pitcher besides the starter and the reliever pitched "briefly and ineffectively". Giving up the tying run(s) could be considered ineffectively. I came up with this scenario several years ago and sent it to the rules committee. "Visiting team is leading by three runs going to the top of the ninth. The starter tires and loads the bases. The reliever comes in, throws one pitch, and the batter hits a bases loaded triple to tie the game, but is thrown out trying for an inside the park homer. Three outs. The first batter up in the bottom of the ninth hits a homer to win the game. Why can't the starter be awarded the win, since the reliever pitched briefly( one pitch) and ineffectively (Allowed three runs to score)? The response from the rules committee said I was technically correct in my interpretation of how the rule is written, but they can't allow the scorer to violate it. They then suggested I submit a proposal to the rules committee. I did. Got no response. Not even that they received it, much less considered it. Later
