IGT 7/28 Mets v Red Sox Peterson Erasmo Ramirez

[ashie62]

Peterson & Ramirez look to split the game



Beyond that, Metsies, play every game like its' your last



56 games to go

[MFS62]

The 6'6" lefty was originally drafted by the SAWX and he turned them down for college (U of Oregon). He was later drafted #1 by the Mets and he signed with them.

[Benjamin Grimm]

24 years old. Pitched last year in Double A Binghamton.

I guess asking Dom to play LF for a slumping Davis is not happening

[nymr83]

I think we are a little early to say anyone is 'slumping' and certainly early to downgrade the defense like that because of it

[Frayed Knot]

Part of this has to do with my brain still needing time to re-adjust to baseball mode after so many months away (or maybe just senility), but I don't recall ever having heard of Erasmo Ramirez

even though he's been in the league every year since 2012. Partly that may have to do with him being in Seattle and Tampa most of that time but, still, 192 games pitched including 92 starts.

Oddly, his BB-Ref picture is one of him in a NYM hat although he doesn't seem to have been part of the organization even at a lower level.

[LWFS]

I have, but that's mostly because of fantasy baseball, and my tendency to stream starting pitchers therein.



Bloopy inning nets Mets three. They'll... um... need more, I'm guessing.

Didn't know Peterson threw a curveball.

[ashie62]

Off to a good start. The trend is your friend

[LWFS]

He's working pretty well with what he's got... but the stuff all seems pretty "meh." Like, passable, but not impressive.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Erasmo was with the Mets like a week ago.



Our defense is pretty shitty

[LWFS]

Okay, the slider looked pretty good against JD Martinez on 3-2.

[LWFS]

This year's edition of the Sox make for really welcoming hosts. Terrible baserunning. Thanks for the outs, fellas!

Rojas damned him with the faint praise of posessing "pitchability" sorta like the best thing you could say about Schaefer was its good "drinkability"

[Lefty Specialist]

Peterson seems to know what he's doing out there. His stuff isn't overpowering, but it'll work.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow, you could hear that 'clang' off the Pesky Pole.

[LWFS]

The sounds of the empty ballpark are the most fun part.

"This water sure won't choke ya!"



I'd feel a lot better about him if our defensive approach weren't so don't-hit-to-me. (Same with Porcello. And Matz.)

[Frayed Knot]

That was just a lazy throw by McNeil.

5th game in and the 'Plays Not Made' tally is already starting to grow.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Our sexecution is horrible this year. Very lucky to be playing a club that's not even trying.



I had to look up who was managing these guys.

[kcmets]

Konforto kinda looking lost.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It looks like Betances is going to set up Diaz. I'd like to see the Mets score another six or seven runs before that happens.

[LWFS]

Insure-runzz

[LWFS]

Chasing sliders like Wimpy, Peter is

Okay! Three runs so far since I posted this!

[LWFS]

Thanks to some first-pitch aggression from Smiley and the Squirrel. A little weird how prolific our lefty swingers have been in Fenway, innit?

A rookie lefty pitcher making his first major league start in Fenway Park?

I think he just wanted to avoid jitters and just made sure he got the ball over the plate. Make that I hope. But whatever, it worked.

Good debut, kid.
