IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Jake will deliver the ,Mets from a one game skid. Should be a low scoring affair with two lights out pitchers

The Hot Corner Aug 13 2022 09:40 AM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Mets need to give deGrom a few runs of support, which won't be easy against Nola, and the should get the win. They can't squander another strong pitching performance (like Scherzer and the pen gave them last night).

ashie62 Aug 13 2022 10:25 AM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Really. He.got zero support the last Let's go contrarian and score some off a very good pitcher

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 01:47 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Gosuke Katoh is reportedly taking cuts at Citi Field. No Mets transactions (or lineup) announced as of yet.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 03:21 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

McNeil is answering the bell, but he's buried down in the eight-hole against righthander.

The Hot Corner Aug 13 2022 03:45 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

McNeil has always reminded me of an old school, country hardball type player. I'm not surprised a few stitches in a finger can't stop him.

The donning and shedding of protective oven mitts for runners has added an average of five minutes to Mets games this year. That's a true fact which I just made up.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 05:53 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Nimmo is very un-Nimmish these days.

Alternatively, Jake is, like, SUPER-Jakish.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 13 2022 06:05 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

I'm stuck with the Phillies announcers. Said that people were making fun of the Phillies for signing Realmuto instead of McCann, but the Phillies have been vindicated. Huh???

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 06:09 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

HAH! The Phillies signed ReaLOLmuto!!!!

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 06:12 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

deGrom should take up a hobby in the offseason, so he can be this great at something else in the winter.

bmfc1 Aug 13 2022 06:18 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Typical Philadelphia inferiority complex at work. They signed the #1 FA C that winter, while Sandy made a huge mistake and signed the distant #2 C. No one, thinks that they got fleeced, even if Realmuto made that moronic comment justifying his not getting vaxxed.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 06:19 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Guillorme is looking good pulling the ball.

The Hot Corner Aug 13 2022 06:26 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Jake is definitely doing his part. Now the offense needs to get him more runs.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 06:27 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Man, deGrom at the negotiating table this offseason is going to be some kind of drama.

It's only a one-run game, Otto and Diaz pitched last night so they should leave him in but they aren't.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 06:45 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Bullpen it is. I'd be surprised if there's a slender lead in the ninth and they don't go to Diaz, last night be damned. In fact, last night SHOULD be damned!

The Hot Corner Aug 13 2022 06:48 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

The Phillies have to be feeling better about their chances now that DeGrom is out of the game.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 06:56 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

I'd feel insecure coming into a game after deGrom. My 94-95 wouldn't look like anything. It'd be like I'm dating a girl who was last with John Stamos. Worked for Lugo, though. Maybe the upside is that deGrom left all the Phillies batters with tired arms. Let's tack on.

The Hot Corner Aug 13 2022 06:56 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Lugo looking sharp and continues the shut out. Time for some insurance runs.

Willets Point Aug 13 2022 06:57 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Time to pile on some insurance runs.

Yeah, the Mets should have Joely up this inning, just 'cuz.

Edgy MD Aug 13 2022 07:11 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Here's where the rubber hits the road. At least the bases are empty.

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2022 07:11 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Marsh is apparently very athletic but it's tough to reconcile that with a guy with such a prodigious beard. I still have trouble buying James Hardin's talents for the same reason.

May is the third man to the mound for the Mets, but the result is still the same. They just keep putting up goose eggs. An addition run for Diaz to work with would be nice.

Finally, a walk. Maybe Nola's tank is at the bottom.

Nido can't do the one thing that he can do with a bat in his hand. Awful.

The Hot Corner Aug 13 2022 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/13 The deGrom v Nola Ace Showdown

Poor bunt by Nido leads to a double play.

We missed nearly all of this as we were attending a Syracuse Mets game. We bailed on that one early (them losing 8-2 after 8) and caught Diaz's inning on our way home. We were on edge in the car!

Driving on the edge of the car doesn't sound particularly safe.
