IGT, 10/13/2015, NLDS Game 4, Matz Says Go Home

[nymr83]

Good Starters should be used in relief on their throw day more often.

Exactly! Putting deGrom in is a total panic move, and those seldom turn out okay. If the Mets were down 2 games to 1, it would be a different story.

I'm sorry, but I'm really sick of Terry Collins.

Do you think if he pitches tonight he'll be able to go on Thursday? I'd much rather see deGrom start that game than Syndergaard.

Cuddy looks awful. Where's Conforto?

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's Colon.

Or Uribe Sadface

The dugout, I imagine.

Patience, paduan.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Same old Cuddyer. Pitiful.

I can't believe deGrom is coming in, particularly with the Mets trailing in the going to the 6th. He should be the Game 5 starter, if needed. I guess that assignment would now fall to Syndergaard now.

Actually glad to see it is Colon instead of DeGrom

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Matz really didn't do a bad job. Turner's was a drive, but there were some bloop singles in there. He seemed to get a little unnerved after the first couple hits.

For a couple of batters, yes.
What I suspect was that deGrom was Terry's guy if we needed to get out of that last inning unscathed. But now that the reliever is in to start the inning it's Bartolo.

But he was warming up while the Mets were hitting

the pitcher is going to throw a bunch of pitches in the bullpen in his throw day anyway he might as well throw them in the game and help the team. Now IF it meant he can't go Thursday I would agree with you, but I don't think 1 inning tonight means that.

But first, BARTOLO!!!!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Maybe Colon should have started. Big man is looking good.

[Frayed Knot]

No nail polish tonight for d'Arnaud.

You're assmuning that throwing a bullpen session would stress him the same as throwing during a game. That seems like a risky assumption to make.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Bart is getting squeezed.

Hmm, that idea I don't like, bringing in a starter with runners on. At that point you should go to Clippard or Reed and use the starter in the 8th instead

[Benjamin Grimm]

Top of the order coming up. Good time for a multi- run homer from Cespedes.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Now let's stop farting around and score some runs and wrap
this puppy up pronto!! Let's Go Mets!!!

Not initially. But, yes, he did continue to throw after the Mets were up, but at that point it just may have been getting his normal allotment in.
I'd be shocked if he's not out of the picture for tonight now.

Did he start warming in the top. Maybe Terry had FK's idea in mind and when they didn't need him in the top of the inning he just finished out his throwing session into the bottom.

[Elster88]

Cross posted. I missed him warming up in the top of the fifth.

[Elster88]

Let's just score nine runs now and not worry about it. Please?

[Lefty Specialist]

Hafta wonder what Bartolo would have given you as the #4 starter. Guess we'll never know.

[Edgy MD]

Cuddyer is beautiful and you will all see it before the end of things.

I heard he never goes out without a splash of this.

I liked the idea of Matz starting at home and using Bart out of the pen. Maybe it was wrong. Matz only had the one bad inning.

And it's not like anyone else has been able to get Turner out either.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

We're barely making contact against this guy.
