Winning IGT 7/19/16 Mets@Cubs

[Chad ochoseis]

We're gonna win and we're gonna win big. I like teams that win. Winning. Wins. Big wins. This is a team that wins.

A hopefully rejuvenated Syndergaard goes up against some guy named Jake Arrieta.

[Guest cooby]

Cripes. Somebody post 25 times so we don't have to look at that!

Jake Arrieta has this much chance of success against the Mets.

Grandyman in center. I'm OK with this if it supports the lineup that scores.

Oh, and I might sat Walker for Flores, and sat Rivera for dArnaud.

If Thor don't come up with a way to hold runners close TC will lean towards Rivera, I figure. I also would have liked to have seen Wilmer in the lineup tonight.

So Lags is back to riding the pine? I don't see him platooning w/Conforto in right. So they will be playing musical OF'rs as opposed to a straight up position platoon?

[Edgy MD]

It's the only way to keep the four productive outfielders in action. If you can't physically move C�spedes to right, this is the best alternative.

Conforto has four games of professional experience in right, but his mom was a swimmer, so don't expect him to sink, or something.

Nice to see Conforto back. Looking for a win and a healthy Noah Syndergaard.

Conforto did play some center, although not since he went pro.

What's this game doing on ESPN? SNY isn't blocked so I guess I really don't care.

[Edgy MD]

Rizzo dives over the plate. Got to saw him off. Don't know why Matzy got caught with a change-up.

[Edgy MD]

That's the way, Syndie. 99 up and in.

[Edgy MD]

Yoenis running like Duda out there.

[Edgy MD]

Nice catch of Heyward.

How about that guy in the yellow jacket behind home plate?

[Edgy MD]

Maybe the Cubs become the team that can't capitalize.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, two runners on!

(For Syndergaard!)

[Edgy MD]

Ouch. Gave one a modest ride.

[Fman99]

Reyes showing off the wheels.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Reyes did good.

[batmagadanleadoff]

That's Reyes's 100th Met triple.

[Fman99]

Grandy gets it done.

[Edgy MD]

Granderson didn't get anywhere near that second-inning double either, but he looks confident out there in center.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Very impressive outing for Thor tonight. Matz would have turned his situations into about 9 runs.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

first hard hit nonhomer for Walker since April.

[Edgy MD]

Hit a catcher in the fingers and then try and bunt on him.

Not particularly cool by Cabrera, but nice to see a Met looking for an edge.

[Fman99]

Oh, de Aza, how you de Sucka at hitting de baseballa.

[bmfc1]

Terry should have used Kelly Johnson. Or the Bat Boy instead of de Aza. Does Sandy not want to admit a mistake so he keeps de Aza on the team?

[Frayed Knot]

Isn't this guy Strop the one Billy Squire wrote a song about?

[Fman99]

These umps suck!
