IGT 08/13, Mets at Nationals

[nymr83]

stokes throws a 7 pitch inning. this could be what the doctor ordered for the met bullpen.

[nymr83]

may i suggest Chavez in LF, Murphy shifting to 3B, and Wright taking a nap?

Good call. And take Reyes with him.

[nymr83]

yeah easley at 2nd, argenis at ss? or the other way around?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Cardinals up 4-2...

[Guest AG/DC]

I come home and mets.com leads with this:

Righty John Maine can cruise with a comfortable lead after the Mets plated eight runs off Nationals starter Jason Bergmann in a huge third inning in Washington.

I'm thinking "What Met team have you been watching? There's no cruising."

Then I open Gameday and see it's 12-0 in the eighth.

OK, I think, maybe you can cruise a little.

A little.

[TransMonk]

Stokes or Kunz for the ninth?

[Guest AG/DC]

Maybe you want to get Kunz in the habit of walking off a big league mound and shaking people's hands.

Can't argue with that! Then he can tell Heilman what it's like.

[TransMonk]

Stokes in line for the rare 3+ inning save, though.

[TransMonk]

That was such a drubbing that I almost feel dirty about it.

Now, that's how a contending team should play against the worst team in the league.

Taking Care Of Business!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

And gets it! Nice job tonight. Plenty of beer to spread around!

[Guest AG/DC]

Wonder who the last Met to get a 3+ inning mopup save was.

I'll guess Terry Leach.

[metirish]

Had we only two strike outs all night?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Howie and Wayne were talking classic TV of the 60s in the 7th in this one.

Onward

[Guest AG/DC]

And a booty-rockin' 11 walks.

I've got Terry Leach coming in for a four-inning save on August 8, 1985 against the Nats' Montreal predecessors:

And again on May 4, 1988, against Houston:

Don't know if he's the last, though.

[Gwreck]

Didn't Pedro Feliciano get a 3+ inning save back in '03 or '04 with the Mets?

Edit: Nope. Not sure who I'm thinking of.

Allen Watson, 1999.

[Vic Sage]

i love tension-free games like this.

[Guest AG/DC]

Watson stopped at three innings though.
