IGT 08/05 - Metropolitans at Marlins - Clear Skies Matinee

[Fman99]

Listening on XM but no Howie today. So Wayne + friend, not quite as great. Plus, you know, all the LOBs.

[Edgy MD]

Could Villar hit a ball any further?

[kcmets]

Why do I feel like this is gonna end in a magical-runner showdown?

[Frayed Knot]

Angel Hernandez had a better game behind the plate yesterday than this guy is today.

Familia says "no".

[bmfc1]

"I'm making millions every year but I will still pull an outside fastball so it's an easy out... but you can see pictures of me and my twins in the pool at the team hotel!"

"I have a contract until 2024 but I can't be bothered to block the plate or make a simple tag... but follow me on Twitter for more pictures of my family in Mets shirts!"



I can't do this again. He sucks. Familia sucks.

[kcmets]

Familia says "no".

And then some!

[Frayed Knot]

Marlins have more hits w/RiSP This Inning than the Mets do this series.

[bmfc1]

I love the people worrying about the Mets games against LAD and SD when they can't beat MIA and PIT.

[Edgy MD]

Rojas pulled a Jerry Manuel and went to his hot hand one time too many.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff runner gets on ... which means our run percentage just went Down

Many factors play in here. Starting pitchers that don't go deep leave a manager handcuffed. And an offense that gives pitchers absolutely no margin for error.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

OK Baez, earn it

[Frayed Knot]

Tying run comes to the plate ... win pct continues to tumble.

[kcmets]

5 K's in a game is hard to do!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Drury to PH for McCann with sacks loaded

[Edgy MD]

The Mets are alive, but there's no matchup I like less than James McCann vs. a righthanded slider pitcher.



And ... Rojas agrees and sends Drury up.

[Frayed Knot]

This is the most ridiculous "rally" in the history of mankind

And yet we all knew how it was destined to end.

[kcmets]

Maybe they should avoid loading the bases, it's clearly not working out.

Chisholm tried to throw it away.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

god we fucking suck

[Benjamin Grimm]

At least it's not late September. That would make this 2007-level painful.

The "friend" is Ed Coleman who is so bad at his job that I'm surprised he doesn't work for YES.

[Lefty Specialist]

Marlins load the bases in the first with no out, grand slam.

Mets load the bases in the first with no out, K, K, F7.



That's pretty much the difference between winning and losing 3 of 4.



They'll be in 3rd place by the middle of next week, because they're playing like losers.

[kcmets]

Mets had the bases loaded at least 3 times, 15 LOB today...

[Centerfield]

Their approach at the plate is terrible. The results reflect this.



I don't know if the Mets have analytics to back up this approach, but it doesn't seem to be working.

[Lefty Specialist]

Other teams got valuable bullpen arms at the deadline without giving up too much. This bothers me.



And I think this entire team is too tense at the plate, trying to be the guy who hits the 500 foot homer when you just need a well-struck single.

[MFS62]

LGM has been replaced by LOB.
