IGT 09/14/22 - CHC@NYM

bmfc1 Sep 14 2022 06:23 AM

The Mets go with David Peterson (LHP) against Drew Smyly (LHP) at 7:10, Citi Field. I'm hoping that Buck gets tossed during the pre-game chat as he tells the umpires what they did wrong yesterday but he won't allow himself to do so. Peterson pitched five innings against the Cubs on 7/17 with 0 ER. Smyly pitched 4 1/3 against the Mets on 7/16 with 1 ER. Escobar has hit FOUR HRs off Smyly (not to be confused with ex-Pirate John Smiley) and McCann has two (but he's played the last two games so it should be a Nido night). Pete has one so there's a chance of a solo blast that won't affect the game (I'm very down on Pete but it's baseball and we're a good team and we're not down on ourselves and it's the nature of the game and we're confident and shut up and hit the damn ball). https://www.mlb.com/gameday/cubs-vs-mets/2022/09/14/662422#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=662422 On the out-of-town scoreboard, the Braves play the Giants at 3:45 ET and it's a good matchup as Morton faces Rodon.

One more with the Cubs then four with Pitt - all at home but no deGrom, no Scherzer, and no hitting. So I'm hoping we can sneak one of the next five and start to put a solid lock on that 2nd WC spot. If we get outside help that is.

Fman99 Sep 14 2022 06:42 AM Re: IGT 09/14/22 - CHC@NYM

I hope they suck less.

Pete finally gets some protection in the lineup. (hoping we're all right about this as we want it to be) Later

Edgy MD Sep 14 2022 02:00 PM Re: IGT 09/14/22 - CHC@NYM

I hope Mark Vientos does well, but him batting fifth is not something I've advocated for.

Yeah, that's been the problem.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 14 2022 02:50 PM Re: IGT 09/14/22 - CHC@NYM

And the protection is from a guy who's 0 for 6 in his big league career.

JD Davis just drove in [CROSSOUT]Jonathan[/CROSSOUT] Villar with a double. It was Davis' 2d hit of the game. Ruf has 7 hits as a Met.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2022 03:30 PM Re: IGT 09/14/22 - CHC@NYM

The Franciscans are batting in bottom six up 2 - 1 The aforementioned JDD RBI 2B being the difference.

I think that's David Villar, a Giants rookie, no relation to Jonathan.

I get your point, and the deal is not working out. But if JD had hit like that while here, he'd still be here.

Heart of the order in top 9 for Bravos Camilo Doval to try and close Austin Riley -- 3-pitch K Matt Olson -- 4-pitch K William Contreras ... 5 pitch K (clearly Doval was tiring)

Just hold them to single digits here in the 1st and we'll call it a moral victory. Those are the only kind we're getting these days anyway.

Edgy MD Sep 14 2022 05:32 PM Re: IGT 09/14/22 - CHC@NYM

We're on a solid pace to give up 162 runs this evening. The good news is, not having batted, we don't yet have an offensive projection.

Leadoff batter gets on 1st ... and 8 or 10 pitches later that's where he sits when the inning ends.
