IGT Wed Apr 11 Mets @ Fish

[Fman99]

Opportunity for the sweep presenting itself. Dan Wheeler on the bump.

[MFS62]

C'mon, Mets.
Give Jeter a gift basket on Thursday morning.

Wonder if that Mike Plawecki guy is behind the dish again?

Or if Wilbur Flores is playing first.......

[A Boy Named Seo]

Well, Mike Plawecki will def be behind the dish again. RIP Travis d'Arnaud's UCL (pun intended).

[MFS62]

Oswalt sent back down to make room for Wheeler.
I'm not sure if he has to appear in a game, but I think being on a major league roster for one day guarantees him one month of the major league minimum salary (which is over $350 grand).
I'd be inconvenienced for one day for $50K, too.

[Lefty Specialist]

Yeah, I'd put on the uniform and sit in the bullpen for $50k. Hell, I'd do it for $1k.

Fred, are you listening? Call me.

So are Conforto and Lagares platooning now or?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mickey has said that Lagares will get all starts against lefty starters. That would mean that either Bruce or Conforto would sit. (Or Cespedes, I suppose, if he needs a rest.)

Or Gonzalez, too, apparently. I missed that bit of news, thanks.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, it's nice that Zack got the first guy out.

The second guy, not so much.

[Lefty Specialist]

Zack still having trouble throwing strikes.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mets are hitless through four.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not comfortable with Callaway talking the booth during the gameo.

[nymr83]

wtf Mets... the guy walks two straight batters so we give him an out on the bases??

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wheeler is pitching well. I wish we could buy back that first inning homer.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm a little shocked at how painless watching this Wheeler start is. And the efficiency!

Walks notwithstanding, Garcia is no palooka, though. This'll be tricky.

[Edgy MD]

Tricky? I got the answer.

Bunt.

Bunt with Rosario. Bunt with Bruce. Get a bunt single and the whole house will come crashing down.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hitless through six now. Garcia throwing a no-hitter in his first big league start would be quite a story.

It must not happen! Gotta get some runs!

[Edgy MD]

They're pulling this guy?

What's wrong with the world?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Marlins are going to go to the bullpen. Ron Darling is disgusted.

[Lefty Specialist]

So who's the hero tonight?

this isn't Johan putting the crown on his great career. a stretched out reliever like this 25 years old needs to be pulled here, unless fucking up his arm is worth it?

Mattingly.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Lil' late to this shindig, now lets get some hits (hell, one!) and score
some runs.

[nymr83]

Wheeler putting on a clinic in efficiency all of a sudden.

Strangely enough, when I think "Complete Game Loss" in the modern era I think of a former Marlin.

[Frayed Knot]

Rosario looking much more polished defensively than in his short stint last season.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, Wheeler is certainly impressive tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Oooh, that doesn't look good.
White phone for Mr. Lobaton.
