Well, Kimbrel just K'd Judge on 3 pitches to preserve a 5-4 Boston win ... so the night isn't a total loss.

It Cuts Like a Knife: Injuries and Rehab in 2017
Frayed Knot replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
If April 27th to June 7th counts as two months, then yeah. btw, there are guys who have missed half a season or more with hamstring injuries. -
Two runs (so far) in this inning and Texas hasn't hit a ball hard yet.
-
And now another ...as soon as this one is reviewed.
-
Plays. Not. Made.
-
Getting the leadoff hitter on seems to decrease the odds that we score.
-
And we just replaced deGrom with the guy who has the highest HR-rate on the team. Yes, Smoker is even higher than Robles, 2.7 HRs/9 btw, Robles in Las Vegas: 4 games, 4.1 innings, 6 runs (5 earned) on 9 hits, 4 BBs, 6 Ks

Scooter Gennett?!?!?!

9 LOBsters tonight, courtesy of 1/9 w/RiSP Duda's 2-out single in the 1st was the only hit. But that's what happens when you face the other team's ace and their top pen guy .... oh wait.
-
2 pop-outs and a GiDP by d'Arnaud tonight -- all with runners on base.
-
Isn't it good that we've got our best pitcher going tonight?
-
SB takes the GiDP out of play ... but we don't turn DPs anyway so I suppose it doesn't matter.
-
Plays. Not. Made.
-
What's that now, five ABs with a runner on 3rd and less two outs ... and they've produced, what, like 3 pop-ups, a K, and a GiDP?
-
Colon to the DL with a strained oblique. How does one even find Bartolo's oblique? Of course his 7.78 ERA might have something to do with it.
-
Austin Bibens-Dirkx. Didn't they open for Florida-Georgia Line during their last tour?
-
So so far tonight we've had Neil Walker just miss making a play, Lucas Duda just miss making a play, and Jay Bruce just miss making a play. None were errors, nor should they have been, but it's three plays not made. Meanwhile, I'm not sure that deGrom has retired two batters in a row yet.

Things Ya Didn't Know (Baseball Division)
Frayed Knot replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Edgy MD wrote: Roy doesn't make this list of 111 baseball Vietnam vets. That sounded high until I realized that the majority were minor leaguers, including those killed in action. I wonder how many of those in that list were actually 'in country' as opposed to just Vietnam-era vets. One name not mentioned is George Hendrick although I remember a story about him calling up Charlie Finley and telling him "I'm in Vietnam, man" - although it's possible that his message was more like 'they're sending me to Vietnam'. Whatever the case, a few phone calls later and Hendrick's tour was finished state-side. -

I was conflating Schneck and Staiger -
Things Ya Didn't Know (Baseball Division)
Frayed Knot replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
I have this memory lodged in the back of my head somewhere that Roy Staiger had actually served in Vietnam. Ballplayers weren't exempt from the military in those days although very few of those who were drafted wound up serving much time and rarely if ever saw combat. If my memory of Staiger is correct, the timing would indicate that he did his military service prior to being a professional which would explain why he was 'in country' as they used to say. -

The thing about Beltre is that he came up at age 19* and has played full seasons almost every year since - only one season with < 500 PA since his first full season at age 20, although this year will be his second since he missed the entire season until last week. Some might call that "compiling" but he had some real good seasons along the way including six Top-10 MVPs and five Gold Gloves. * at one point agent Scott Boras claim to just "discover", two or three years into Beltre's career, that he was actually a year younger than he first thought and therefore was under age when he first signed. He apparently was shocked, SHOCKED to find out that there's gambling going on in Rick's Cafe. What he was trying to do, of course, was get Beltre into FA-gency prior to the usual six full years using the loophole that his original contract was fraudulent. It didn't fly.
