IGT 06/27/17 - The Long Dark Off-Day of the Soul

I think too much is being made of the Flores non-play. He wasn't getting to that ball unless he was descended from both Brooks Robinson and Reed Richards.

I thought so too, as did Ron. Gary sounded a bit frustrated

[Fman99]

This is going poorly.

I suspect that the weightlifting thing makes sense, insofar as the stronger/faster/harder these guys perform motions that have always been unnatural, kinesiologically speaking, the likelier it is that they hurt themselves. But Ronnie does have the whiff of Old Man Yelling At the Moon there.

I tend to think that the training staff and the weight training staff are separate entitles and that Barwis and Clarke don't answer directly to Ramirez and Chicklo (nor vice versa) as much as it might make sense if they did.

Show some pride here, men. You're big league ballplayers.

[Edgy MD]

You tired Prado out, now bunt one.

[Edgy MD]

Or rip one into right. That's good too.

[Edgy MD]

d'Arnaud, take, you fool.

[Frayed Knot]

So AJ Ramos is throwing to JT Realmuto while pitching to TJ Rivera ... at least that's what's going on initially.

[Edgy MD]

I know we all love Rivera and all, but I go with Conforto 10 times out of 10 here.

[Edgy MD]

We'll take the next two. Count on it.

[Guest cooby]

S we lost?

[Lefty Specialist]

Bad teams find ways to lose games. The Mets are currently a bad team. And suddenly Rafael F'n Montero, who has more lives than a DOZEN cats, is in the rotation for the foreseeable future.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

In the end, Neil Ramirez can't go in there and walk guys. He made a mess for Blevins to clean up, regardless of whether the plays get made or not it's dangerous to play like that. Terry's options obviously suck but in the end looks like Go-Go Goedell is the better guy.

Also, Cespedes had a poor game. An ohfer with a few chances (and whiffing up 3-0) is one thing but he seemed especially slow all of a sudden just when I was hoping his leg issues were behind him.

I agree with the above this team doesn't have "it"

[MFS62]

That one's on me, folks.
Sorry.
I promise not to mess with CPF voodoo again.

Later

If you recall your lament, Gsellman got hurt last night and is expected to miss some time.
