[G-Fafif]

Hello Marlins, our old friends. Mets are 1-5 at Monstrosity Park this season.

Young 7, Murph 4, Wright 5, Byrd 9, Davis 3, Lagares 8, Recker 2, Quintanilla 6, Hefner 1

vs

Hechavarria 6, Yelich 7, Stanton 9, Morrison 3, Lucas 5, Solano 4, Marisnick 8, Mathis 2, Turner 1

I have a real problem with Ike Davis.

[Edgy MD]

Brown Satin Buck Turner is your bench. It's also a coveted item discounted to $279 in the hunting section at Dick's Sporting Goods.

[ashie62]

This is a winnable series.

[ashie62]

The key is to stop Yelich and Stanton...And Hefner to stop throwng Meatballs. It can be done.

I'm afraid Ike is going down with the ship..

[Edgy MD]

The ship isn't going down.

[Edgy MD]

Donovan Solano, one of three big leaguers from Columbia, the others being his brother, Jhonathan Solano, as well as Julio Teheran.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, scoring against Miami!

Two Out Rally

[Frayed Knot]

If we could have gotten that call at 1B for EY (and/or the bunt down from Hefner) there's no telling how big that inning could have gone.

[Frayed Knot]

And now there have been two calls that haven't gone our way.

[Zvon]

This one looks good so far. I won't accept anything less than a four game sweep here. As a matter of fact what we need is a ten game winning streak. Starts now.

[Zvon]

Shame on you Q!

[Ceetar]

yup, 2-run error. and Mets still can't hit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd swap out Ike for Tejada immediately, go with Brown/Turner/Recker at 1B until they figure out how to get Dykstra here or Duda back.

If we lose this game because of a tailor made DP ground ball 2 run error I may need a vacation from this team.

Hef has that shitty uneven inning, gets the DP grounder, Q, who is usually steady, boots it. Could have gotten out of it at 3-1. Instead its 3-3. These guys are driving me crazy.

It could not have been an easier DP!
Grrr.

You got a problem with Ike?




Ha. I kid.

only needed one out actually. Hefner seems to be tiring and Young plays the hit poorly.

[Zvon]

See, this kind of baseball here. Come on. Both advance on the misplay. Grrrrrr.

[Zvon]

2 more bullshit runs. Ugh.

[Frayed Knot]

Just hand them the fucking game and get it over with.

- can't get bunts down
- can't close out innings
- let runners run wild
- 5 walks allowed plus a HBP (many with 2 strikes)
- 100 pitches before the 6th inning
- 5 runs allowed on only 4 hits

[Centerfield]

Hefner was clearly done way before he got the hook. Rare this season, but Collins has to take some of the blame for this loss.

I would have yanked him after that last leadoff walk.

[Fman99]

Plenty of time to come back.

[Edgy MD]

We've lost already?

Ronny was pointing out about pushing guys past the point of fatigue at the time, but i think he was talking about Harvey and late September. But I guess with the extra day of rest Terry figures they can go longer in the game? But you do that when guys are cruising not push them to the fatigue point in pressure spots. I feel like that's where guys get hurt.

Maybe, but the run differential in Met/Marlin games this season after the sixth inning is like 146-3 and not in our favor.

[Fman99]

Yeah Muffie! 5-4 Marlins now.

[Zvon]

Nice. Young doubles, Murph drives him in.
4-5
