IGT 07/14/22 - NYM@CHC

It's the Mets in Wrigley at 8:05 ET (followed by three day games). Carlos Carrasco is on the mound for the Mets. Let's hope it's the good Cookie. Keegan (Michael-Key) Thompson (RHP) goes for the Cubs (34-53). I'm not familiar with him but his numbers are good and he's coming off 5 2/3 IP with 0 ER against LAD. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-cubs/2022/07/14/661101#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661101 https://www.mlb.com/player/keegan-thompson-624522

7 to 1 and confidence in this team meant that I could work on it in the bottom of the 9th without the risk of jinxing it.

Keegan is a home grown Cub who was used in bullpen games til about 5-6 weeks ago. He has done a decent job of late. He will never be accused of having electric stuff. Note to Eppler, bring Contreras back to NY.

TransMonk Jul 13 2022 05:46 PM Re: IGT 07/14/22 - NYM@CHC

I don't know much about the Cubs other than that Stroman has been not great.

Edgy MD Jul 13 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT 07/14/22 - NYM@CHC

Nobody really gets that story, though. If a guy signs with a new team, it's one thing to get a story out of him talking shit about the organization he's leaving, how the front office were incompetents, the fans were malicious, and the teammates didn't deserve him. A better story is to call him up four months later when his team is in fourth place and he's barely getting it done, and see if he's gained any new perspective, or simply new information. When the old team meets the new, a beat guy will usually summarize his season, and regurgitate what's been written about him so far, but there's a deeper story waiting to be told. Really, any story that involves accusations of racism and death threats shouldn't really be allowed to just fade away.

Methead Jul 13 2022 08:29 PM Re: IGT 07/14/22 - NYM@CHC

I don't know much about the Cubs other than that Stroman has been not great. I don't remember if this was before the start of the season, or at some point in April, but woman in a Cubs shirt saw my Mets hat as we crossed paths in the supermarket parking lot and told me "thanks for Stroman!" Instant karma's gonna get ya. It's why I never thank anyone for anything.

Mets fans made endless death threats and racist remarks to Stroman on social media pretty much non-stop (and probably elsewhere)

Is Fox Sports Radio's Steve Covino an actual person or just a bad take bot? I don't want to be on the wrong side of this. But I hate this story because I expect my players to be there, man. I do. I mean it's the big leagues, bro. Big series! You get paid lots of money, you let the fans down! The fans are what make you. That's how I feel about that.

A 30 y/o right-hander who rang up just over two seasons of service time w/SEA, TEX, and CHC from 2016-'21, he's appeared in 6 games/4 starts this season.

Pretty nice to get out of Atlanta with two wins and then add two All-Stars to the lineup. Mets Roster Central as yet unable to identify what the corresponding move is to be. Any sign of Ender Inciarte?

Carrasco on cruise control through 4. Cubs manager, David Ross, had apparently seen enough. He got ejected for arguing that Carrasco was not coming set in the stretch. Probably just wanted to go have an Old Style.

The Hot Corner Jul 14 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT 07/14/22 - NYM@CHC

Escobar with a chance to bust the game open. Bases loaded and one out.

Escobar with yet another line drive hit for the Mets. Makes it 5-0 Mets as the Cubs go to their bullpen in the 5th.

Somewhat wild? You are being kind. He just couldn't reliably find the strike zone and when he did, the Mets would lace another line drive somewhere.
