08/14 - Mets at Yankees

[bmfc1]

Absolutely right FK. It's also a little unfair to the incoming pitcher who has extra time to cool down before warming up.

[Edgy MD]

I guess our reliever can whiff people too.

[bmfc1]

For a team that acts like it created tradition, I'm pretty sure that the PC Richards whistle didn't play when Whitey Ford struck out a batter.

[Edgy MD]

If ball four hits the umpire's foot and bounces off to oblivion, shouldn't the runner be boogying to first and thinking about second?

Definitely--maybe the catcher can't find the ball.

[Edgy MD]

Trying to get one inning too much maybe out of Robly.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Consarn it.

[Centerfield]

Blevins up and available. Whenever I start thinking maybe Terry deserves another year he does something like this.

[bmfc1]

Terry fucks it up again by giving Robles a 2d inning when it was a fucking miracle that he got through one. Of course, a righty was leading off so there was no fucking way that Terry would put in Blevins and instead he puts the pitching version of the Trump presidency in and he throws a nothing pitch and MFYs have the lead.

[Centerfield]

Because 2017 can't give us one good night. Not even one. Fuck this.

[Edgy MD]

This park, too.

We're going to have Reyes pinch-hitting for Smith in the ninth.

[MFS62]

Just got here. Did any of the announcers mention that Amed Rosario tonight became the best shortstop to ever play in YS III? (or YS II for that matter).*

Later

* = A day without a "Fuck you, Jeter" comment is like a day without sunshine.

[bmfc1]

Leave in the garbage righty reliever because a righty is up: HR
Put in the solid lefty reliever because a lefty is up: out, but take him out and
Put in a mediocre righty reliever because a righty is up: HR.

I cannot wait for Teufel or Geren or Lopez or literally anyone else to start managing this team.

[Centerfield]

Everyone in the stadium knew that a second inning of Robles was a bad idea.

Other than Terry.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, we get Betances.

[Guest cooby]

Good god. Is he still a Met?

[Edgy MD]

Nice rocket, Wilmer.

You know you're supposed to be taking, right?

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

Damn.

[Edgy MD]

I like Rosario up right here.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I mean, it helps if the umps aren't expanding the zone a half-a-foot horizontally.

Hicks led off that inning and was a switch-hitter.
Not sure who y'all wanted in there instead of Robles but Judge was up next so if it was going to be Blevins so as to turn Hicks around it likely would have been a one batter outing.
Then came the lefty Gregorius, then the righty Sanchez so I'm open to hearing alternate scenarios for that inning.

I'd tend to blame the fact that we essentially went hitless after the back-to-back HRs.

[Edgy MD]

Bah, crap call, rookie or no.

Give the fact checking a rest for once, especially after a loss to those guys.
Robles should never be in the game unless he is on another team. Start the inning with Blevins and (CENSORED!).

Hey, I'm asking for suggestions here rather than the standard reaction where every time any reliever gives up anything then Terry is automatically to blame.

Fine, let's start with Blevins to face the SW Hicks and RH Judge -- but if that blew up him then we'd cite Blevins' 1100 OPS vs RHBs and declare THAT to be Terry's fault too.
Seawald and/or Bradford, the two 27 y/old rookies with < 60 innings of ML time combined both of whom pitched yesterday? I like Goeddell there (1 runs allowed in last 10 outings) better than either
Your second best lefty in Smoker?

Like I said, I'm open to suggestions here.

[Edgy MD]

Facts are always good.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I have a hard time buying the blame Terry thing tonight, except the Robles
overuse thing. Judge 1 HR and counting.

[Zvon]

Nope, looks like no IGTs for me. I checked in a few times and I was waaaaaaaay behind. Maybe up to 5 minutes. I really don't understand how that works. I guess they have to bounce the signal off a satellite or something.

Still, I'll try to get in here and at least read em afterwards.

Happy birthday to Jay!

[Frayed Knot]

Odd fact of the game: For each of the Yanx who HR'd last night [Aaron Hicks, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez] it was their 40th career HR

[Lefty Specialist]

Typical Met game. Two early solo home runs, then pfffft. Starter struggles mightily to get through 6. Bullpen gives it up.

Rinse and repeat.
