Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2 Posted August 2 A Met team — that may be a lot different at the end of the day than the beginning — takes on the Miami Marlins as they send Robert Stock to the mound to fight for Gotham glory. And holy shit! Did I just type "Robert Stock"?! whippoorwill 1
Radar Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Won't recognize half this team here on out. Why don't I trust Stearns to give us a competitive team next year? Why would it change now.😡 whippoorwill 1
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 I don't mind Robert Stack starting so much, it's the guys behind him that worry me. Oh wait, Robert Stock? ... Nevermind.
whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 My gosh. Lloyd Bridges was one of my very little girls crushes.

Why would it change now.😡 Well, Robert Stock aside, today's announced lineup should be pretty recognizable. Starting Pitcher Sandy Alcantara RHP 11-6, 3.82 ERA, 115 SO Lineup Liam Hicks (L) DH Kyle Stowers (L) 1B Otto Lopez (R) SS Xavier Edwards (S) 2B Griffin Conine (L) LF Owen Caissie (L) RF Jakob Marsee (L) CF Joe Mack (L) C Javier Sanoja (R) 3B Starting Pitcher Robert Stock RHP 0-0, -.-- ERA, 0 SO Lineup A.J. Ewing (L) LF Francisco Lindor (S) SS Bo Bichette (R) 3B Carson Benge (L) RF Luis Robert Jr. (R) CF Jared Young (L) 1B Marcus Semien (R) 2B Jorge Polanco (S) DH Francisco Alvarez (R) C
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 I haven’t been paying as much attention as I should. Who’s spot is Stock taking?

Pintaro (demotion) and Herget (DFA) have been removed from the roster, with Stock being added and Bryce Conley called up from AA. As for a spot in the rotation, he's probably not really taking anybody's spot so much as buying Manaea and Scott back an extra day of rest after starting in the double-header on Wednesday. I suspect Manaea may end up pitching in this game anyhow.
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 The booth and Will Sammons have Peralta going to the Rays. More to come
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 And Brazoban says goodbye to his teammates. Nothing announced yet however Radar 1
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 The booth missed it, but Alvarez just shivved Polanco in the ass with a bat fragment.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Mets inundated with Robert Stock trade inquiries!
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Bad hold by Tim Leiper again. If he got down the line, he could have had Robert make the turn. If the ball goes into second, Robert scores. If the throw comes home, Young jogs into second.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 2nd and 3rd/no outs, Alcantara out of the game. Mets have an outside shot at scoring a run here. Not on the first AB mind you, but before the inning is out.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 No, I'd be awesome. The throw was behind the runner.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Make the turn, draw the throw. It's a fundie. Centerfield 1
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Thos team sucks. They can't trade enough of them for me
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 9 minutes ago, Edgy MD said: The throw was behind the runner. And even if Robert kept running he'd have been about 10 ft past 3B when the ball arrived at 2nd. The defense then either ignores Young and throws home (Robert out by 45 ft) or tags Young and then throws home. With no one out at the time that would have been the boneheaded move of the week, maybe the month.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Five straight outs w/RiSP with only one ball leaving the infield (short CF). And now six straight. 0-for-11 overall.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 2 Posted August 2 The Marlins waited until the first pitch they saw to drive a runner in from 2nd.
