    This was McLean's 19th ML Game/start. Through his first 17 starts/100-1/3 innings (just under 6 IP/G) he pitched to a 2.50 ERA w/a 1.036 WHIP. Was he not ready for those games?
  2. Frayed Knot
    So apparently Nolan McLean is no longer a good pitcher.

    Reds have two runs despite eight hitters putting just two balls in play [bloop 1B, GO] ... and now a second GO to end the inning. So nine batters: 1 single, 2 GOs, 4 K's, 1 BB, 1 HBP + a passed ball

    I'm amazed that this knowledge is both knowable and findable.

    A holiday 4:10 start will feature Nolan McLean vs Nick Lodolo in the battle of the big, round-headed mascots. Lodolo didn't make his first start of the season until 5/8 and the three he's made so far haven't been pretty [7.20 ERA / 1.53 WHIP w/14 hits and 9 BBs in 15 innings]. But since when has such stuff mattered to Met bats? They'll go down weakly to anyone. Last July Lodolo held them to 2 runs / 4 hits thru 7 in an 8-4 Reds win. Reds got rained out today in StL so are probably already in New York while the Mets won't get home until washing the stink off this game/series and flying 1,000 miles only to face a quick turn-around.

    Not that it mattered but that's the sixth Grand Slam allowed by NYM pitchers this season. SIX, in 1/3 of a season! Didn't the Mets go like a year and a half without hitting one some years back?

    For the second Devin Williams outing in a row, he goes immediately to the 'Ghost Runner' situation.
  8. Frayed Knot
    Second leadoff batter to reach. Second one to be erased on the very next pitch*. THAT's how you go 156 consecutive innings (or whatever it is) without scoring. * just remembered that the Semien's GiDP was on the second pitch his AB ... but the point holds

    I haven't heard any speculation as to whether or not Soto is available for PH duty.
  10. Frayed Knot
    I think Vientos frustrates Vientos
  11. Frayed Knot
    4 hits + 4 walks + 1 HBP + 1 reached on error = 0 runs thru 7-1/3, mostly due to only one leadoff runner reaching ... and he was immediately erased by a GiDP.
  12. Frayed Knot
    Well the Yanx finally have a win vs a team over .500 That series was also tied 0-0 between a NYC vs Florida team until the bottom 9 went BB - Judge 2R HR (1st pitch) Rays won on Friday and Saturday's game was rained out (made up later in the season) so a 1-1 split there.

    Speaking of getting skunked by a team with bad pitching staffs, the Braves got shutout this afternoon on one hit by the Nats (Jake Irvin/Brad Lord/Dickey Lovelady) 2-0 So, y'know, it happens. It just happens to happen to us far too often.
  14. Frayed Knot
    And we're prefect in ABs w/RiSP ... for the series!!!
  15. Frayed Knot
    And Jonathan Pintaro just lowered his ML career ERA from 27.00 to 10.80 !!
  16. Frayed Knot
    I don't know what you guys are complaining about. We have a hit.
  17. Frayed Knot
    And just to be clear, I'm not advocating for the inclusion of pre-NYM history into these decisions, just 'splainin part of what was NYM ownership/mgmt's mindset in those early days. Between being a brand new team with no history of its own in a city that the NL had just abandoned (x2) and next to the team in the final years (although no one knew it at the time) of a forty year run of absolute MLB dominance, there was a question of how well or even if those disgruntled Dodger/Giant fans would accept the newcomer much less embrace it. So incorporating the other NYC teams' histories -- colors, uniform details, executives (George Weiss), managers, legacy players, etc. -- was, in effect, part of their marketing strategy and the honoring of Stengel and Hodges was an outgrowth of that.

    So that above graphic still holds as the Yanx still don't have a win vs a +.500 team. Cole threw five shutout innings but the final score was Rays 4 - Yanx 2 as Judge, representing the tying run, flew out to the warning track w/two outs in the 9th to end the game.
  19. Frayed Knot
    Yeah, they were on the pre-game as well. It was great ... cliches in two different languages!!
  20. Frayed Knot
    The two balls Marlin CF Jakob Marsee did catch and the fly ball down the RF line that Benge did Not catch = La Differance
  21. Frayed Knot
    Nertz!!
  22. Frayed Knot
    Benge should have challenged the 2-2 pitch ... although now it doesn't matter.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Nice to see a GiDP where the ball ends up in Vientos's glove as opposed to starting out off his bat.
  24. Frayed Knot
    And, instantly, my hypothesis is confirmed.
  25. Frayed Knot
    It's my contention -- with absolutely no evidence to back it up -- that the Mets are leading both leagues in hits being caught on the warning track and/or against the fence.
