Fryin' up some Fish -- IGT 8/18/20, Mets @ Marlins

[Frayed Knot]

David Peterson (3-1; 2.91) vs Humberto Majia



Mejia has pitched one ML game and it came against the Mets on Aug 7 where he was the starter and allowed just a solo HR to Dom

But he lasted just 2-1/3 innings because he needed 67 pitches just to get that far (6 Ks, 2 BBs). That was the game the Mets lost

when Wacha gave up the early game 3-Run bomb to Cervelli and we never recovered.



Aside from that one game, Mejia has never pitched above A-ball

Peterson's last outing was 1 run over 5 IP in what became an 8-2 NYM win over the Nationals

[ashie62]

Peterson has a win over the Marlins this season so he has seen them. His whip is 1.15



Mejia has no track record. Mets have not seen him. Lest he not rise up now.



Maybe Nido will get a start today



LGM!

The first two posts here need to be reconciled on the Mejia question.



Meanwhile, tapping out a team's bullpen in game one of a series is always a good idea.

Peterson has been put on the 10 day IL with "shoulder fatigue."

[MFS62]

At some point, Oswalt is going to have to show he isn't just a "AAAA pitcher".

I hope that will happen tonight.

Later

Mets are always calling the Corey Hotline

Oswalt really looked like he moved toward the plate on that pickoff.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Nimmo gets around the bases fast.

[Frayed Knot]

At this time last night the game was probably still in the top of the 2nd.

Snuffy Smiff is looking like our player of the week.

Bad Amed

You can't stop Dom Smith AND you can't even hope to contain him.

[Edgy MD]

Keith wondering how he got invited to a party atop the Chrysler Building.



YOU'RE KEITH FUCKING HERNANDEZ!

Wasting a leadoff triple against a AAAA clown

[Frayed Knot]

So there will be a second [CROSSOUT]shooter[/CROSSOUT] pitcher in addition to Oswalt.

Already 1/6 w/RiSP which is how you turn five XBHs including two HRs and wind up with just three runs.

Marlins are 2/4

[Edgy MD]

You're Pat Venditte. Can you blow out a UCL in one elbow, get the surgery at the end of the season, and then come back in the spring and keep throwing with one arm while the other recuperates?

[bmfc1]

No one was on 3d with less than 2 outs so ROSARIO!!!

I am VERY interested in your trade newsletter

Surprisingly strong innings from Oswalt whom I mostly remember as a "porn puss pounded" kind of guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Dom gets the closest thing to an RBI 'hit' that this team can muster.

[Fman99]

Nice clutch 1B there by Rosie to open things up a smidge.

[Edgy MD]

Brad Boxburger? This Marlin bullpen is a great game of "What Ever Happened to ... ?"

[Edgy MD]

That's a good, classick reliever mullet on this Eibner guy. Runners on the corners with nobody out, but a sweet mullet nonetheless.

[Frayed Knot]

I have no memory of this hitter-turned-pitcher Eibner guy.

And so far he's retired as many ML hitters as I have.

[Edgy MD]

Good call getting Fammy up.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Diaz trying to Diaz this game up

[Edgy MD]

Nice recovery by Diaz.
