IGT 9/28/16 NYM@FLA Thin Line Between Love and Hate

[Edgy MD]

The Mets seek to take the series, sending Seth Lugo to the hill against José Urena.

Fun facts!

• Lugo, in Spain, may merely be the fourth largest city in Galicia, but it is the only city in the world surrounded by completely intact Roman walls.
  
  
• Roots and bark of the Urena plant are used as an herbal remedy for hydrophobia.

I never thought about it, but I guess Curtis is somebody's grandson!

[Ceetar]

stop with the Rene Rivera.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, he is kinda superfluous, since that lineup has two catchers.

Well, you've gotta have a lot of catchers, or you're gonna have a lot of passed balls.

Not if you don't have a pitcher though.

[Frayed Knot]

We've faced this Urena guy twice this year and haven't hit him either time.
- 1 R on 4 Hits over 6 innings on July 24 (Mets won 3-0)
and then for some variety
- 1 R on 4 Hits over 6 innings on Sept 1 (Mets lost 6-4)


Other than that he's been more than hittable to other teams (5.95 ERA) and has been a mess in three of his four starts since the Sept 1st game vs us although oddly shut the Dodgers out on four hits through 8-2/3 in the other
start ... so he's pretty much an erratic (near) rookie who we probably shouldn't even try to project on any given night.

[Ceetar]

I project Duda is going to destroy him.

I got the same feeling.

The lone run off him in the September 1st game was a Jay Bruce HR

He's stepped it up. If he & Grandy are going to hit then I'll have to be okay with Conforto off the bench.
If that's the way it's going to be I'll say right now that Conforto's going to do something HUGE off the bench.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well when he does I'd hate to be whoever has to clean it up.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I like when I sit down and it's 2-0 and then one pitch later it's 2-2.

[Frayed Knot]

The late lineup switch comes through again.
Yet another example of the genius that is Terry Collins.

[Zvon]

I did NOT have a feeling that Duda would be scratched.

Nice poke by Loney.

[Edgy MD]

Making the Mets post-season decisions hard.

Impressive job by Loogie breaking those curves off to Stanton.

Since his replacement hit it we're awarding you partial credit on the prediction.

That's pretty kool. I like this place.

Ceetar too.

Lugo doubles and Reyes pushes him in with a sreaming meemee over Dee at second.
3-2 Mets

Grandy hustling his butt of today.

[Guest themetfairy]

My lying eyes are deceiving me!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jay Bruce ladies and gentlemen, Jay Bruce!

[Benjamin Grimm]

This is why we all love Jay Bruce!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

He's got 32 homers and closing in on 100 rib!

[Edgy MD]

[MFS62]

Slowly turning Booooos to Bruuuuuce.

Later

[Zvon]

What's that? His 3rd in Blue & Orange? And I missed it.


And I never made a Bruce kaBOOM so I am in no way connected to that.
