Dear God, They're Making Us Play Again: IGT 5/30 vs ATL

[seawolf17]

Vargas vs Teheran, which might just be the worst mismatch in the history of baseball. The Braves could score 30 runs tonight.

[Lefty Specialist]

This is one of those games where Mickey should leave Vargas in for seven innings no matter how badly he's being hammered. Two runs, six runs, fifteen runs, I don't care. Take one for the team, Jason.

Absolutely. You get your paycheck either way, friend. Give us 110 pitches.

[Guest d'Kong76]

This should be a day game, stupid scheduling imo.

And the Mets could get no-hit.
They can't hit that guy.

Later

I expect nothing here from Vargas and whomever follows him from the bullpen....we are awful

[seawolf17]

My lingering forever memory of Teheran will be the Father's Day game at Citi Field a few years back that my kids took me to. The Mets got a hit in the second inning while we were getting food, and nothing the rest of the game. In like the sixth inning, my daughter was like "do the Mets ever get to get a hit?"

Sigh.

[ashie62]

I read where Jason Vargas was referred to as a Mets remaining healthy reliable arm after deGrom. Reallly?

This team is allergic to prosperity

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure where you read that.

Looking forward to seeing the 2018 launch of Lugo the Starter.

[smg58]

Even "healthy" is debatable, the way he's pitched.

[nymr83]

Great thread title.

[nymr83]

Also, Vargas needs to throw 110 pitches tonight and i don't care how many runs he gives up. The bullpen is fried and needs a break.

Hopefully, they won't all be in the first three innings.

No rain slated for tonight in northern Georgia.

[Guest cooby]

Well the Mets are ahead 1-0 after several innings and nobody is here

Just saying guys if this is the beginning of a 30 game win streak and no one was here to start the party, you’ll all be sorry...

[Frayed Knot]

Vargas has been both in control (no runs, 2 hits, 1 BB) and efficient (64 pitches thru 5)

[Edgy MD]

Best game of his Mets career so far.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Lol, so he gets pulled.

[Frayed Knot]

Tim Peterson MLB debut vs Albies - Freeman - Markakis = 1-2-3 on 7 pitches.

[Frayed Knot]

Finally one of those fucking bloops goes our way.
Lord knows the Braves have gotten their share of those this series.

Why was he pulled so soon???

[Guest d'Kong76]

Not sure, was only half watching.

[Guest cooby]

Prolly hurt his hanny

[Fman99]

He was on short rest and they didn't want the lineup to get a 3rd turn against him, I think, was the guesses that Gary & Keith threw out there.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Leaving the bases loaded in the 8th not the most comforting feeling.

I think it's called 'gettin' out while the gettin's good'
And, let's face it, if he gave up even one run in a later inning Callaway would get fried for not pulling him earlier.

[Fman99]

Familia in the 8th? I don't know what Mickey's thinking at this point. Six out save again?

[Fman99]

Fuck this bullpen, seriously. So done with Familia.
