IGT 8/17 Mets v. KC deGrominate Day

[ashie62]

Metsies will have to cobble out an interesting lineup with yet another, J.D. Davis, likely out.



Sizes up for Jacob to have limited support.



I am hoping the Mets don't make Junis look as good as they did with Montgomery

[kcmets]

NYM (62‑60) Jacob deGrom (RHP, 7-7, 2.68)

KCR (44‑78) Jakob Junis (RHP, 8-10, 4.80)

[G-Fafif]

Amed Rosario – DH...HUH?

Joe Panik – 2B

Pete Alonso – 1B

Michael Conforto – RF

Wilson Ramos - C

Todd Frazier – 3B

Luis Guillorme - SS

Juan Lagares – CF

Aaron Altherr – LF



Jacob deGrom, whose bat will be missed, pitches and will aim to miss bats.



Davis and his calf sit, just like at the Missouri State Fair.

[G-Fafif]

Walker Lockett is loitering on the taxi squad in case Robert Gsellman requires a ride to the IL.

[bmfc1]

Maybe they'll send down Diaz... sure.

[Edgy MD]

deGrom looking deRiffic.



Joe Picnic looking... less so.

[Edgy MD]

Two on, no out, including Aaron Altherr turning around that double-digit batting average.

[Edgy MD]

Tied up.



Man, a one-run deficit with deGrom on the mound can feel like a five-run deficit with anyone else.

[whippoorwill]

Let's win tonight!

[Frayed Knot]

Once again our opponents are bunching their hits (and their walks and their errors) while NYM bats are unbunching theirs.

Starting with the Atlanta games, the Mets have out-hit their opponents 36-25 but have been out-scored 18-16 in the process.

13/52 w/RiSP along with hitting into 11 DPs in those 4-1/2 games hasn't helped.

[G-Fafif]

Lagares

Altherr

Panik



The LAP Attack will be featured on the cover of next week's Sporting News.

Conforto robbed on a great play.

[Edgy MD]

Alonso is fielding an unusual number of grounders today.

[Frayed Knot]

Newberry & Hill warming up in the Royals pen.

My heart, for one, is going boom, boom, boom.

[Guest 41Forever]

Ouch! Altherr takes one off the noggin!

[Edgy MD]

Can we just make a rule that a pitcher gets tossed whenever he hits a guy in the head?

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta cash in on this inning.

Baserunners in the game: Mets = 10, KCR = 3 ... and yet the game is tied.

Aside from the rule where we're not allowed to win Jacob deGrom games, there's no reason why this should continue.

[Edgy MD]

Bunt him home, Partypack.

[Edgy MD]

Hill really seems to throw some smoke for a sidearmer.

[Edgy MD]

I don't think the 7 Line Army thought that was fair at all, Keith.

[Edgy MD]

Up the middle. Sweet.

[Guest 41Forever]

Pete!!!!

No. No intent and a curve ball that forgot to curve in that instance.

[Edgy MD]

Justine Ward needs to hustle out to right and interview some of those unbiased 7Line guys to see if it was fair or not.

Establishing intent isn't necessary to establish responsibility.

Right, review was waste of time when no orange shirted people went nuts.

[Edgy MD]

Guillorme's hands rock.

Sorry, councselor.

[Edgy MD]

You've been served notice, Royals.



If the Mets win, that means they get a game back in the 2015 World Series, right?

[Edgy MD]

Tack on, you crazy Mets.
