IGT 2 August 2021 Mets @ Fish 7:10 PM "Here fish fish fish"

[Fman99]

Tylor Megill (1-0, 2.04 ERA) versus the ever prescient TBD toeing the rubber for Miami.



Anyone besides me still think of them as the "Florida Marlins" when the team name is not presented in full?

Well, the Fishsticks, but yes on the Florida part.

[Centerfield]

The Mets are depressing.

An owner determined to turn what was a colorful ballpark [Marlins Park] into something blander than [Derek Jeter's] playing days....

Wait, McNeil is bad? Please don't let him know.



The Marlins have traded their entire starting outfield, for the second time in three years, while the Nationals have defensestrated even more 2021 parts, so the Mets have an opportunity to fatten up here, playing 12 games against those two teams in August, and another 13 in September.



May it not be an opportunity wasted.

Yah I am of the half full variety here also.

My nearly-30-year-old son (the erstwhile poster Lenny Harris) was walking down the street the other day with his Mets hat on and some random guy looked at him and said "Mets suck" for no apparent reason. Guy was clearly a MFY fan. My son stopped and said something to the effect of "actually, they don't suck. They're in first place. You could have said that many other years and been correct. It's the third-place Yankees who kind of suck this year."



Makes a father proud.

[Ceetar]

still need more pitching. I know many expected a bit of an August slog after the shortened season last year, perhaps Walker, Stroman, etc are hitting a little bit of a wall. Hopefully they can get that straightened out, and deGrom can come back 'healthy'.



Maybe Carrasco getting a late start will end up mean he's cruising in October, but post-trade deadline you'd like to have a little more certainty on what the rotation is. A month or so ago we were riding high that as long as disaster didn't strike, you had deGrom, Stroman, Walker all just cruising with guys like Megill as a great wildcard and the possibility of Carrasco and Thor returning and being backups or long relievers or whatever you needed in the playoffs. Now we're not even sure who'd start in the NLDS.

Where's Conforto.

[kcmets]

I'm pretty sure I typed what was on Gameday earlier re: CF and RF and thought

it odd and of course they need to be flip flopped.

Where's Conforto.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo out. Drury in RF batting eighth. Pillar in CF batting leadoff.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Go Lenny Harris. I've been very suspicious of the Mets' goodness all year

[batmagadanleadoff]

Marlins suck. Megill's been terrific all season. So the Marlins'll probably bomb the crap out of Megill tonight. That's how the Baseball Gods roll.

[ashie62]

I hope the Mets don't suck.

[ashie62]

And like that.

Grand slam to Brinson. Tylor Megill needs to show a little more Tess McGill in terms of gumption. Don't let the Marlins run…up the score.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Still early vs these palookas, that's the thing

[Edgy MD]

Make 'em throw strikes, be patient, and you'll be right back in it.



(And J.D. swings 2-0.)

[Edgy MD]

But then lines a 3-1 fastball into center. First and third and no out.

[Edgy MD]

Righthanded hitters getting it done.

[Edgy MD]

It's funny that the Marlins are back to where I never know what they're calling their ballpark until the Mets get there.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, this guy is from Marjorie Stoneman-Douglas HS.

[Frayed Knot]

The 'Back in an Hour' crowd are missing a good hour.
