IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

kcmets Sep 24 2022 07:15 AM

4:07 EDT - Oakland Coliseum NYM Jacob deGrom (#48, 34, RHP, 5-2, 2.32) OAK Ken Waldichuk (#64, 24, LHP, 0-2, 7.13)

The Hot Corner Sep 24 2022 07:29 AM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Have to like the pitching matchup from the Mets perspective. DeGrom is, well, DeGrom. He's the best. Waldichuck is inexperienced and has been shelled regularly in his 4 previous career starts. This is no time for the Mets bats to go silent and make Waldichuk look like the second coming of Randy Johnson. They need to poor it on and knock him out of the game early as in all of his previous starts.

Super-rare day off for Mets centerfielder Brandon Nimmo.

Angel Hernandez behind the plate this afternoon. Gary commenting that Hernandez has been on a different crew every time they've seen him, which doesn't have to mean anything, but probably means something. First two Mets hit safely and it's first and third with none out.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:21 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Oh, man, the Mets are opening the tap on this pitcher.

TransMonk Sep 24 2022 02:27 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Pete has been crushing his HRs lately. No doubt when they leave the bat.

Willets Point Sep 24 2022 02:27 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

deGrom heads to the mound under the unusual circumstances of having a multi-run lead in the first.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:32 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

And pitching like he's not used to it.

Willets Point Sep 24 2022 02:33 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Does he just need to give himself a challenge?

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:36 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Well, with the bases loaded after back-to-back walks (!!), and he has indeed given himself a challenge.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:39 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Well, that was some odd baseball. Also, I think that, while McNumble was rolling around on his shoulders, deGrom was giving the business to Angel Hernandez.

Willets Point Sep 24 2022 02:42 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

I don't like this.

TransMonk Sep 24 2022 02:43 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Me neither.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:44 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

I fully expect deGrumbly to right this ship by the second inning, but I think we're going to see Peterson or Megoose in the middle of this game.

deGrom heads back to the mound with the score tied, as he likes it.

Frayed Knot Sep 24 2022 02:55 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

In the 1st it took JdG one pitch to get the first out, then 30 more to get the next two. And while being pissed at Angel Hernandez is always in season, I don't really think he had much of a case.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:55 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

I'm not sure I've ever seen deGrom get a strikeout on the curve.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 02:57 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Isn't there some sort of record streak deGrom had been riding for most consecutive starts with three or fewer runs?

bmfc1 Sep 24 2022 03:26 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

Why wasn't McNeil's fall an error? He didn't touch the ball but he obviously should have caught it and it lead to 3 runs.

What Gary and Ron don't seem to know is that Gene Tenace's given name Was Tenacci. Fiore Gino Tenacci to be specific.

Ok, Mets, we've still got 4 innings to work out an ugly win.

Gosh, Ruf doesn't get down the first base line much faster than Vogelbach.

The outside pitches being called strikes by this Hernandez guy are getting me antsy.

Nick Allen is tiny.

3-0 with Jake on the mound against a POS team. Pathetic.

6 - 3 in Cobb County. One on, two outs in the 7th as the Braves go for a pitching change. So there's at least hope for One comeback this afternoon.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2022 04:56 PM Re: IGT 09/24 - NYM @ OAK - Late-Season Cross-Country Schlep Pt ll

I'm not sure Ruf should have been hitting there. Nimmo and Vogo are available.

Rhys Hoskins up as the tying run ...

That was, quite simply, an 'everything that could go wrong did go wrong' kind of day. We thought Pete's 1st inning HR was going to be the opening highlight of the day, not the final one. Phils go quietly in the 8th. Going to need at least three in their final AB and are going to have to do it starting with the bottom of their order.

Pitchers are going to give up runs, it happens. I guess in that sense probably best that they all do it on the same day and in the same loss.
