IGT 9/10 vs MFYs - THIS SEASON ISN'T FUCKING OVER YET

[seawolf17]

For us: Tylor Megill, who has literally NEVER LOST TO THE YANKEES



For them: Jordan Montgomery, who we fuckin' lit up on July 3 and who lost to Michael Fuckin' Wacha last summer.



Joey Gallo? Has 64 Ks in 128 AB since being acquired.

Anthony Rizzo? Hitting .265 since being acquired.

Andrew Heaney? 7.71 ERA since being acquired.



They have two good hitters -- Judge and Stanton. End of list. Everyone else is just as shitty as our guys are.



There is NO REASON why we can't sweep these fuckers. None. They are NOT better than us. LET'S DO THIS THING.

Gonna be a bad and impactful weekend for one team and probably both.



As playoffs go, its considerably more desperate for us but the Mets have yet to adequately respond to desperation in the Rojas Era

[bmfc1]

"Everyone else is just as shitty as our guys are." This is a good scouting report.

No Gerrit Cole for them but they miss Jake (of course) and Marcus.



MLBN tonight (out-of-town only) but GKR, too

Saturday is exclusively on F*x with an omnipresent blowhard from STL and a non-vaccinated, overrated color announcer from Michigan acting like they know anything about New York.

Sunday (AT EIGHT P.M.!!!) is exclusively on ESPN with the Angels play-by-play guy, Matt V(omit), and a steroid user who was slapped to the curb, in the same way that he tried to slap a baseball in a playoff game, by J.Lo.



From Amazin' Avenue:

[bLOCKQUOTE]Friday, September 10: Jordan Montgomery vs. Tylor Megill, 7:10 p.m. on SNY

Montgomery (2021): 135.0 IP, 131 K, 43 BB, 14 HR, 3.47 ERA, 3.57 FIP, 1.21 WHIP, 3.5 bWAR

After an uneven first half, Montgomery has put together a really strong second half for the Yankees. The left-hander owns a 1.93 ERA, a 3.45 FIP, and a 1.17 WHIP in eight starts since the All Star Break, and has not allowed more than three earned runs in any outing. In six of those eight, he has given up either one or zero earned runs. In his most recent appearance, he went 4.2 innings and allowed one earned run on six hits, with two walks and five strikeouts against the Orioles on September 4. He picked up the loss back on July 3 against the Mets, giving up three earned runs on six hits, with three walks and six strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Megill (2021): 70.2 IP, 78 K, 19 BB, 14 HR, 4.20 ERA, 4.42 FIP, 1.25 WHIP, 0.8 bWAR

Megill has hit a bit of a rough patch after starting his rookie season out so strongly. In his most recent outing, he did go the distance for the first time in his young career, albeit in a shortened, six inning setting. Still, a complete game is a complete game, and he did well to save the bullpen from further use after an exhausting first game of that doubleheader earlier in the afternoon. Overall, he was charged with four earned runs on seven hits, with one walk and eight strikeouts during the six frames. Once again the long ball bit him, as he surrendered two more homers, with three of the four runs coming via the home run. That now makes it 26 of 34 runs against him on the year coming from homers. Since August 1, he has a 6.37 ERA, a 5.40 FIP, and a 1.39 WHIP in 35.1 innings across seven starts.

Saturday, September 11: Corey Kluber vs. Taijuna Walker, 7:40 p.m. on FOX

Kluber (2021): 61.0 IP, 66 K, 28 BB, 7 HR, 3.69 ERA, 4.06 FIP, 1.28 WHIP, 1.0 bWAR

Kluber will be making his third start since returning from the IL on Saturday night. The veteran right-hander missed all of June and July, and almost all of August with a subscapularis muscle strain in his right shoulder. The Yankees have lost both of those games 8-7, with Kluber allowing five earned runs on five hits over four innings in his return against the Angels, and then two earned runs on four hits over 3.2 innings against the Orioles. He threw 78 pitches in his last outing, so he should at least be able to hit 80 in this one. The highlight of the right-hander's year came back on May 19, when he tossed a no-hitter against the Rangers.

Walker (2021): 138.2 IP, 129 K, 49 BB, 20 HR, 4.15 ERA, 4.32 FIP, 1.19 WHIP, 0.6 bWAR

Walker just did not have it in his last start, and struggled throughout the afternoon against the Nationals. Staked to a four-run lead right in the first inning, Walker couldn't hold it, and then blew a three-run lead later in the contest. After going at least five in six straight starts, he failed to escape the fifth this time around, instead going 4.1 innings and allowing six earned runs on six hits, with three walks and six strikeouts. He has not earned a win since he faced the Yankees back on July 3. In that outing, he went 5.2 innings and allowed two earned runs on two hits, with two walks and five strikeouts. Each of his last six decisions since that point have been losses.

Sunday, September 12: TBD vs. Carlos Carrasco, 8:08 p.m. on ESPN

TBD

The Yankees have not yet named a starting pitcher for Sunday's series finale against the Mets. This was originally meant to be Gerrit Cole's spot in the rotation, but he exited his most recent appearance with a hamstring injury. There is a chance he could be well enough to make this start, but the Yankees have not made any decisions yet.

Carrasco (2021): 33.2 IP, 32 K, 6 BB, 7 HR, 5.88 ERA, 4.50 FIP, 1.28 WHIP, -0.6 bWAR

Carrasco's last start wasn't pretty by any means, but his defense did him absolutely no favors. Still, he did well enough to earn his first win as a member of the Mets. The right-hander went five innings and gave up four runs (one earned) on a season-high seven hits, with one walk and four strikeouts in five innings. He lasted a season-high 92 pitches, meaning he is no longer on any sort of limit and has stretched out mostly as far as he's going to go. He also did not give up a home run, which had so badly plagued him in his most recent starts, though the Yankees should present a challenge in that department. On the downside, he did give up another first inning run, which means he has surrendered a run in the first frame in all but one of his starts. Of the 25 runs he has given up in 2021, 12 have come int he first inning.

Prediction: The Mets drop two out three to the Yankees.[/bLOCKQUOTE]

Quality fucking thread title!

I might substitute "technically" for "fucking" but that's just the kind of guy I am.

[kcmets]

I suppose I could figure it out, but has anyone seen the 'tragic

number' going into tonight's action?

[bmfc1]

Gotta stay focused. The big picture is tonight and then it will be tomorrow and then it will be the next day. There will be MFY fans in CF. There will be MFY fans watching. Met-hater Michael Kay will be calling the game for their fans. We want all of them to be miserable and sad. We can worry about our plight on Monday. LFGM!

[G-Fafif]

No time to suck.

[Frayed Knot]

Hitting a baseball so that it travels beyond the infield would be a nice start ... and a nice change.

[kcmets]

Would be nice to jump to a 9-sniffle lead and then not blow it.

For another nice change.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What brand of gum do you think Megill chews?

The F*x morons can't shut the light off. Megill has to stand around. The next batter hits a triple.

[bmfc1]

Nice AB, Mr. 9 figures. Maybe don't try to emulate Baez in that respect.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I am unexpectedly nervous and excited for this one.

[bmfc1]

Why throw strikes to the Mets?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here's where that Javy Baez trade could pay off

[Willets Point]

Feck!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh wow, he might be safe

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sanchez get deked by how far they had Villar out! Will probably go against us

[bmfc1]

As bad as this team is they might have the 2 best sliders (if that's the right way to put it) anywhere.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yay!!!

I'm thinking how we'd be handling this if McCann did what Sanchez did.
