Ryan Weathers has the same round face as his dad David, a 19 yr ML vet including a 2002-3 stint in Queens. The kid at least had the good baseball sense to be born left-handed.

I'm a fan of letting prospects, no matter how vaunted, hit their way up from the bottom of the lineup.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2023 03:30 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

vs the LHP Bob Melvin and SD go with two guys combining for about a half billion $$ up top followed by one who'll prolly want a half bil all by himself.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 11 2023 03:51 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Good to see Snarling Farte back

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2023 05:31 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Well that sukked.

Fman99 Apr 11 2023 05:36 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Bases loaded, no out and didn't plate a run. Meanwhile, the good guys need their own ground ball inning ender here

Fman99 Apr 11 2023 05:37 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

AND THE LORD SAID YAY IT IS GOOD or something

Awwww Petey ... whatcha doin' man?!?

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 11 2023 06:53 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

The only thing deader than the Mets is this thread. Wake up mets

bmfc1 Apr 11 2023 06:58 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Grisham--his error (as a Brewer) allowed WSH to win the NL WC game in '19 and we know that they went on to win the WS so Grisham can go F himself every day of his life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUQcKqXW_d0

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:01 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Reyes looks like he can throw. It's a little too obvious a reference to choose, but he kind of reminds me of David Weathers, stuffwise.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:10 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Lunchie, you and irish need to add your woidle scores for today. I'm not really pheeling Pham so phar.

bmfc1 Apr 11 2023 07:11 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

HRs tonight for Batty, Vientos, and Mauricio. I know that there's a difference between AAA and the bigs but the Mets' offense is offensive.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:15 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Well, let's hope Eighth-Inning Álvarez can step up.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 11 2023 07:19 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

A nonpatch at bat for Escobar

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:21 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

I like them burning the Locastro card here.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 11 2023 07:21 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Let's see if we can wake up now

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 11 2023 07:31 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Let's fire the hitting coach.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2023 07:31 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

You can say we're lacking the big hit here, except that we pretty much haven't had any hits tonight.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:32 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Nein. It's Alonso, Canha, and McNubble vs. Hatemonger in the ninth.

Boogers

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:41 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

That felt like a 450-foot popup.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2023 07:43 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

That HR suxx but you also get the feeling they weren't scoring a second run unless this game went at least 16 innings.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:48 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Takin' pitches leads to riches.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:51 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Here's to a nice, dragged-out pre-2023-vintage ninth inning.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:53 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

This review may be Buck trying to ice the kicker.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:55 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Kicker successfully iced.

Hmmmm

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 07:59 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

I'm Pheeling more Phammy. This makes the Bogaerts homer the difference. Too bad Nido is our only available alternative hitter, but a double-steal attempt keeps the Mets alive.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 11 2023 08:02 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Dammit

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 08:03 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Álvarez spent most of the day chasing the slider away and spent that trip chasing the heater upstairs. He's got to calm down and make a pitcher come after him.

metirish Apr 11 2023 08:04 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Álvarez looks overmatched, I'm feeling for him

batmagadanleadoff Apr 11 2023 08:11 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Oh my god! The Mets won 101 games last season. How then, could they lose a game to the Padres?

ashie62 Apr 11 2023 08:34 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Mediocrity abounds. Verlander will be in St Lucie when the Mets head west I'm getting a 1987 Mets vibe now They should bring one of the kids up. Nido is light years ahead of Alvarez for now so they can split time I guess

Edgy MD Apr 11 2023 09:24 PM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

I'm not getting a 1987 vibe. For one, Max Scherzer didn't get fail a cocaine test during spring training. While I certainly don't agree that Nido is light years ahead of Álvarez (or anybody), I'm not sure why that would be an argument for them splitting time. Álvarez doesn't look over-matched to me, just over-anxious. What do you think about pinch-hitting Nido there? I'm not sure I make that choice. You gain the righty-on-lefty advantage there, but you're giving up a lot also. Guillorme can try the bunt again if they play him back. If they play the corners up, that's a small advantage there. He also has the better eye against a pitcher who'd been leaving the ball up, he has the better capacity to work deep into the count against a pitcher who was already over-extended, and he gives you that sweet same-side platoon advantage of being more likely to get hit. Probably harder to double up, batting from the left, also.

Lefty Specialist Apr 12 2023 06:31 AM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

Yeah, it's pretty obvious Alvarez is pressing. But nobody else is hitting either which kind of magnifies things. I don't think Nido is light-years ahead of anybody. He kinda sucks as a hitter. Alvarez should be getting hore playing time than him, or send him back to Syracuse and bring up Perez so he can play every day down there.

ashie62 Apr 12 2023 07:01 AM Re: IGT 04/11 - Padres at Mets - Spring Has Sprung

I meant Nido is light years ahead on the defensive side, not with the bat Maybe not light-years but enough to earn the majority of the starts. If the Mets were not a team where October is expected then sure, Alvarez plays everyday The Mets "could" make an early in the season commitment to youth and let Alvarez play almost everyday and promote Baty to do the same at third High risk? Yes, however the potential reward of two uber talented youngsters clicking over the summer could help to put the Mets over the top.

There's plenty of opportunity to break in young talent and compete at the same time. It's totally been done. It just didn't pay off last night. And if the alternative at catcher was Michael Perez, there's not a whole lot of reason to think that would have paid off higher. If the Mets fail this season, it likely won't be because Francisco Álvarez batted ninth on April 11.
