IGT 9/23 Strasburg v One inning Pete

[ashie62]

Splitting Noah and Matt is bizarre, even by Met standards.

[Edgy MD]

I realize the Mets are playing terribly, and they're to be mocked in everything they do, but I'm not sure what the complaint is here. It seems like a pretty obvious choice.

[ashie62]

What is an obvious choice? I am not connecting

[Guest d'Kong76]

I don't get the Pete thing?

That which you are criticizing as bizarre.

Might go better if they let Harvey pitch one inning and let Syndergaard finish.

Early lineup today!

Giving Noah just a single inning is sensible on account of the long layoff.
Starting him then coming in with a replacement rather than the other way around makes sense too since it assures him the optimal warmup time.

I don't see the harm and certainly not the 'bizarre-ness' - particularly not in the final week of a lost season.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Who or what is Pete?

[G-Fafif]

Dwight Gooden came back from a shoulder injury in September 1989 and threw two long relief outings, 7 IP in all. Bobby Ojeda returned in September 1987 with three long relief outings totaling nine innings before getting the last home start of the year (which he won, with the Mets hanging on in their quest to repeat). I figured they'd ease Noah back in with something similar. Maybe they have new ideas since then.

Pete hitting 98 in the first and gets the job done on five pitches. Wonder if they'll give him another batter or two.

Gary says 'No' on that second inning question.

Only five pitches although three hard-hit balls: Line-out, Single, GiDP

I don't think Pete is going to be explained

[Guest d'Kong76]

Glad to hear Pete's one inning went well.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, he is from Texas

Best to not push that one too far, even if it's good to dust off temporarily

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What do you know? Harv gives back a 3-run lead

[Edgy MD]

Does Harvey get a blown save?

Its Ashie's thread title.
Looks like he's the only one who can answer that, because nobody else seems to know.
Mr. Ashie , please pick up the courtesy phone in the lobby.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Put Pete back in!

[Frayed Knot]

I believe 'Pete' is just serving as a generic name for purposes of the subject title.
'One Inning Noah' just doesn't have the same ring.

Ug. He can add that to his misery.

[Frayed Knot]

Except that nobody cares about blown saves except for closers in the 9th inning.

[Edgy MD]

Do folks still care about hitting popups?

How does that work? Syndergaard can't get the Win because he started but pitched less than five innings. If Syndergaard isn't eligible for the win, Harvey, who immediately followed Syndergaard, isn't eligible for the Save. And if Harvey isn't eligible for the Save, he couldn't have blown the Save. I don't know if I'm right but I find my logic to be flawless.

[Frayed Knot]

By the crude instrument which is the Blown Save, Harvey came in with a lead and didn't protect it, ergo 'BS'

So if the visiting team scores a run in the first, and the visiting pitcher then gives up three runs in the bottom of the first, does the starting visiting pitcher get credited with a blown save?

OE -- Better yet, I thought a pitcher had to be pitching in a save or potential save situation to qualify for a blown save.
