IGT 6/5 Mets v Nats "It HAS to get better... right?"

[Fman99]

Dillon Gee v Dan Haren in the battle to find a new way to hurt my feelings.

[Frayed Knot]

Well Haren has been a lot less good than Zimmermannnnn this season so we've got that going for us. On the other hand ...
- NYM bats have been making all kinds of pitchers look great recently
- Gee hasn't been as good as Hefner

What I'm afraid of is running into one of those situations where you waste a good pitching performance one night only to score some runs the next but give up even more

There's a name for when those situations arise. They're called "games played by bad teams".

I think Gee may have settled in now that he's gotten his velocity up. weak hitting team too. Not that that's stopped anyone.

Still competing for his job though. Suddenly we've got too much depth? (unless Niese's tendinitis flares..)

Potentially six starters for five slots isn't too much depth. It's just depth.

never too much depth, true. I just meant we're potentially facing the 'hard decisions'

If Marcum has any trade value (and I emphasize the "if") then that option should get some consideration.

I'm sure it will be. (and I suspect he will) But it might have to be Gee or Hef to the bullpen in the meantime, not sure the market picks up for a trade until July.

Quintanilla-SS
Murphy-2B
Wright-3B
Duda-LF
Byrd-RF
Davis-1B
Recker-C
Lagares-CF
Gee-P

I know such sentiments have been expressed regularly in 2013, but yeesh. Even if we accept Q is scalding and that Byrd has had his moments, could 6 through 9 be any less threatening? And though Gee is no Harvey, he's a plausible 7-batter in this lineup. (6 really, but we'll show a modicum of faith in Ike.)

Several hours from now, may the nine hits combined for by Recker, Lagares and Gee make me look wholly unprescient.

[Edgy MD]

Recker threatens my marriage. Is that enough?

[ashie62]

I'm glad to see Lagares start over Ankiel...everyday

[ashie62]

Screw Hudgens! I promise to get everything outta these Met bats..

[Zvon]

FUCK. Gee almost gets out of the first without allowing a run.

Desmond has a ribby in the Nats first half.....

[ashie62]

Friggin Gee

[Edgy MD]

Mets to rally now.

[Edgy MD]

Just saw this now. lol.

Mets have a lead 2-1. Will it be enough for Gee? Come-on.

Nice play by Muffy

[Zvon]

uughboy. Here we go...

Damn. Nice try by Byrd.

[Zvon]

Gee gets out of it with a little help from the ump. No matter. Big K Gee. GJ.

[Edgy MD]

Even Q's outs are hard.

Josh Lewin coming in with some serious Abbot & Costello trivia.

[Zvon]

Niiiiiice.

[Edgy MD]

Dan Haren can pitch for my opponents anytime.
