Lead off double by Granderson  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 4:29 pm : link
Then the weakest 2-3-4 (Tejada/Duda/Cuddyer) hitters in MLB waste it.

Duda continues to look more like Ike than the Duda we hoped for. Just awful.

never have played this game. Rain is too heavy
I guess Granderson is on one of his tears  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 4:58 pm : link
Another HR for Grandy. A solo HR of course. His 5th straight solo HR. Not his fault though. This is a big reason why it's moronic to bat him leadoff.
I dont think

Harvey will get much of it in.

Lets hope they get the game in.
I don't know...that pitch to Flores looked low but it  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 5:16 pm : link
was too close to take. I coach baseball and I absolutely hate when the kids strike out looking. No excuse for that.
JFC, swing the damn bat Harvey  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 5:21 pm : link
Man on third with one out and the next two batters strike out looking. Infuriating.

But that's the lack of aggression that has plagued this team for years.

unbelievable
Granderson is such a bad fielder  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 5:36 pm : link
If it isn't hit directly to him, then he doesn't catch it.

May not always show up in the stat sheet (that was ruled a double and not an error, lol) but I've seen well more than a few balls Granderson not get to that helped contribute to a loss or a blown lead. He's just a bad fielder.

The solo HRs are nice though.
Three straight strikeouts looking  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 5:37 pm : link
from a non-strikeout pitcher.
Michael Cadaver's last big hit

These batters have to be more aggressive, esp with two strikes
Another catchable ball to Grandy that he lets fall in front

of him. Luckily, FLORES and Herrera turn the DP.
This offense is so anemic  
Eric on Li : 6/27/2015 5:49 pm : link
Cuddyer has just been a brutal rally killer. Getting to the point where they need to consider just replacing him and giving him platoon work in LF and 1B until he shows he can do more.
come on

Ceciliani.

Get Harvey a W
Yet again, they don't score any runs for harvey  
PhiPsi125 : 6/27/2015 5:59 pm : link
Lol, Matt Harvey is probably thinking he can't get away from the mets quick enough. There is no way he is resigning with the mets when the time comes.
They need to offer him an extension now  
Eric on Li : 6/27/2015 6:02 pm : link
got to think there's no way he turns down a huge chunk of guaranteed $ (100m-ish) knowing he's already gone through 1 tjs. I'd be shocked if they don't try to buy up a couple of his FA years after this season.
Why is Harvey  
pjcas18 : 6/27/2015 6:03 pm : link
coming out after 90 pitches?

I know they don't want to overload him after TJ, but he seemed to be cruising pretty well and the bottom of the order is coming up.

they had a runner on 2nd with 2 outs. It could have gone either way.
Think they figured they didn't want to give up the scoring opportunity  
Eric on Li : 6/27/2015 6:06 pm : link
probably the right call, 1extra inning for the BP shouldn't be an issue with all the rest they've gotten. Huge AB for Granderson. Chance to step up here.

No way. He's a Boras client. He decided the waste three years in college because he was only offered $1 million instead of $2 million coming out of HS. IMO, he doesn't care about the TJ surgery. He's the type of guy that is going to want to be the highest paid player in baseball. He's gone.
right call  
spike : 6/27/2015 6:09 pm : link
given the crappy weather.

Im surprised there has been no rain delay
I wouldn't have taken him out after 90

I'd have given him the 7th.

Agreed, I can't see him signing a long term contract that would keep him in Flushing. I just get the feeling he's biding his time before donning the Bronx pinstripes.

That will be one of the most devastating days to Mets fandom.
If they knew a rain delay

was likely, I agree with the move of taking Harvey out, makes complete sense.
They will continue the game

tomorrow at 1:10 with the Reds batting in the top of the 7th. 30 minutes after the last out, the regularly scheduled game will start
So.. our entire offense at this point is the Curtis Granderson solo HR

Fulmer and Ynoa string together some nice starts in Bing and we are right back to having starting pitching depth in the minors....
And speaking of that...

Casey Meisner is s stud and being in St. lucie he isn't all that far away. He's easily a top 10 ten Mets prospect and IMO has leap frogged Molina.
Can't go game by game with prospects  
Shecky : 6/28/2015 9:33 am : link
But considering the talent that has been graduated recently, the Mets top 10 and 20 don't look so bad. Not a top 5 farm anymore because the system isn't as top heavy. But LOTS of talent still there. Next wave of power drafted last year, and the pitchers drafted this year literally sitting and waiting their turn.

a game as I've seen in a while. At this point I don't give a damn who wins...just get it over with so that I can see Matz pitch. 0-13 with RISP.....the level of ineptitude is amazin'.
Cuddyer/Duda need to be platooned, get a new OF'er  
Eric on Li : 6/28/2015 3:59 pm : link
in here. A leadoff guy to knock Granderson to the 2 hole would be great or a middle order bat. Either one would be awesome.
Anyone else get the feeling  
Spree_8 : 6/28/2015 4:04 pm : link
that they are going to find a way to not score a run...lol. Because I am.
Can Cuddy still play third at all?  
chris r : 6/28/2015 4:05 pm : link
Make him a super sub. Some corner OF and IF playing time.
Talk about a gift.

Whatever, can't wait to see Matz.

Probably not but there would be plenty of PT to find vs. lefties playing first and the OF whenever Granderson next slump happens.
