IGT 8/13: NYM @NYY

[Edgy MD]

A one-game series featuring Jacob deGrom pitching at The Post Office against Luis Severino.

This the new Mets. A team that hits for deGrom. Todd Frazier is 3-for-6 lifetime against Sev.

That graphic is funny.

I doubt they get this one in. Which is a shame because I'd like to see the MFY's have to face deGrom.

In fact, if we could, I'd love to loan deGrom out to whoever is facing the Yankees for the rest of the season.

They may wait a long time to get this game in (the Mets are in Baltimore tomorrow but we know that it's all about the MFYs who are home so a long delay doesn't hurt them as much) as the only common off-day is September 6 but the Mets are @LAD on the 5th and home on the 7th while the MFYs are @OAK on the 5th and @SEA on the 7th.

A rainy Monday rescheduled as part of a one-game series. It may be the least-poorly attended Yankees-Mets game ever despite the matchup on the marquee.

I think I've read this is one of the biggest vacation times too, so probably a lot of fans out of town?

This is something if the Mets were in it I'd be kinda pissed about, flying all the way past Baltimore to sit in the rain in NY.



I'd love to see MLB experiment with neutral parks for things like this. Have the Yankees hang around the Bay for the 6th and have the Mets come up from LA for a day game there.

Or hell, scratch the 8/20 game against the Giants entirely. (Or push for a Tuesday day-night deal?) and play the Yankees then. Yankees are home and play Marlins on Tuesday whereas the Mets are arriving home from Williamsport.

I was going to post the lineups from metsdotcom but see they have
Cabrera at 2B. Mickey does know Asdrubal is gone, right?

NYM RH Jacob deGrom (6-7, 1.77 ERA)
NYY RH Luis Severino (15-5, 3.11)

lies. They have Reyes at second and Cabrera DHing. And Judge in RF even though we all know he's done.

[Edgy MD]

My guess is that it's the lineup from the game that was originally scheduled, then postponed.

Mickey must have changed it since I last looked.

[bmfc1]

Here are the bad guys:
1. Brett Gardner (L) LF
2. Giancarlo Stanton ® DH
3. Didi Gregorius (L) SS
4. Aaron Hicks (S) CF
5. Miguel Andujar ® 3B
6. Greg Bird (L) 1B
7. Gleyber Torres ® 2B
8. Neil Walker (S) RF
9. Austin Romine ® C

[Ceetar]

Yankees couldn't afford depth in the offseason, are somehow forced to play Walker in the outfield, and are playing Stanton hurt rather than DLing him. #LOLMets

[G-Fafif]

Rosario SS
Nimmo RF
Conforto LF
Flores 1B
McNeil 2B
Frazier 3B
Jackson CF
Bautista Position That Shouldn't Exist
Mesoraco C

Jake pitches, dominates.

FREE JACK REINHEIMER!!

Seriously. We're not going to get to 65 without a little hard work, Mickey.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm not sure Mickey knows how to count that high.

[Frayed Knot]

Severino on the season: 24 starts; 15-5; 3.11 ERA; 1.10 WHIP
Severino last six starts: 32 IP; 26 ER (7.54) on 47 hits (1.69 WHiP)

The short version is that he's given up exactly the same number of earned runs in his most recent six starts as he did over the first 18
I think his presumed Cy Young went Cy O'Nara

[Edgy MD]

It's raining beakers and test tubes here in Baltimore. Some hail, too.

In the words of the late great American philosopher Thomas Earl Petty: 'Oh my my, oh hell yes'

[Edgy MD]

If nothing else good can happen going forward this year, we can do worse than Rosario reversing course and establishing himself as the asset he mostly hasn't been.

"Just about any fly ball to right field here has to be considered 'deep'." — Howie Rose

[Frayed Knot]

Other than a few more pitches from JdG than are ideal, a very positive 1st inning.

[Edgy MD]

Also notable that it's the relative neophytes who have provided the offense for the Mets, while the vets have been punchless through the first two innings.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

dammit Conforto

[Edgy MD]

Conforto, a 2017 All Star.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

sit down Walker, you bum.

[bmfc1]

Frazier possibly could have tagged the runner who was at 2d and he could have thrown it harder to McNeil but all the blame is going to McNeil.

[HahnSolo]

McNeil gets the error but Frazier imo made a weak throw to try and start the DP

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Joey, baby

[bmfc1]

Enjoy that cheap HR MFY fans.

[Edgy MD]

How do Yankee fans live with that crap?
