IGT 09/03 - Metropolitans at Nationals

[Edgy MD]

I hadn't even realized Zimmerman was still at it.

[Guest 41Forever]

I'm afraid to watch the rest.

[MFS62]

Somebody please keep sharp objects away from Jake.

What the hell Mets

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Omg

[dgwphotography]

LOLOL

[Guest 41Forever]

Unacceptable.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fuck these guys

[kcmets]

Holy crap the bed, Batman!

[Edgy MD]

Holy sticky disgusting liquid shit running out of me all over the bathroom.



Nay ... the bedroom.

[Methead]

I'd say I can't believe it, but...

[Frayed Knot]

Well this is going to send everyone running to the 'Give Up' thread.

[Fman99]

Awful.

[Frayed Knot]

It's official, Jacob deGrom isn't allowed to win games.

[Edgy MD]

The whole "Let's save this reliever for tomorrow" strategy? That's some smoking bullshit.

I'm sure he's glad he signed that contract extension.

God the Nats are bad. How the hell are we trailing these guys?

[86dreamer]

How often have they used Lugo back to back this year - even after 1 inning - and especially day game after night? In other words, wtf were they saving him for?

[kcmets]

Mickey: 'gotta shake it off '

[86dreamer]

Time to shake off Mickey. He takes out starting pitchers that are cruising with low pitch counts. He leaves starters in that don't have their best and. Now he is saving relievers for games they likely will not pitch anyway.

its not like Diaz couldnt have blown it himself, he has sucked ass all year.



it was criminal to not upgrade this bullpen at the deadline.

[Frayed Knot]

I had no problem pulling Lugo after they built the big lead and especially with the extra-long time between innings.

A position player should be able to protect a six run lead with 3 outs to go.

Hell, trade for Russell Martin and use him (4 outings this year, 4 scoreless innings, 2 Hits, 2 K, 0 BB).





For Diaz that's now 13 HRs allowed in 51.1 IP (nearly 2.3 per 9 IP)

That's in contrast to 5 in 73.1 last season (0.6) or 20 allowed for his career prior to this year across 191 innings (0.9)

I know 2019 is the year of the HR but to triple or quadruple your rate?!?!?!??





The only move I thought wonky tonight was PH'ing Nido now that there are extra bodies on the bench ... but even that one oddly worked out for us.

[86dreamer]

Lugo has pitched back to back only 4 times this year. I haven't checked but I doubt any were day games after night. It was a completely unnecessary decision

[86dreamer]

Nido was a double switch not a PH - that was done specifically to give Lugo 2 innings

Historically worst blown game in franchise history.

[MFS62]

The way they took the game away from Jake was criminal.

They don't belong in a bull pen, they belong in the State pen.

I'm hung over this morning ... and I didn't drink a drop.

[86dreamer]

I didn't drink either but they did drive me into the cookie jar only 22,hours into my post Labor Day health drive.
