NFT: Mets at Marlins Game 1 Mets Chat 7/22

ZGiants98 : 7/22/2016 10:04 am
Here we go!

-Verrett VS Conley

-Zack Wheeler plans to throw off a mound at Marlins Park in front of Mets brass

-Cubs pitcher Clayton Richard, who underwent thoracic outlet surgery in 2014, believes the procedure will help Matt Harvey. “I felt so much better afterward. It’s really been a new lease on my career,” Richard tells Matt Ehalt in the Record. “Very happy I had it done, because I would honestly probably be done. I couldn’t really throw. … I hope it’s the same for him. That isn’t anything you want to go through.”

-LGM!

We take down Met killer Fernandez and deGrominate the Fish!
Great win.  
ZGiants98 : 7/22/2016 10:33 pm : link
Almost went a full game scoring enough to win without hitting a HR. Sure glad we hit one though as we ended up needing it.

TDA has been hitting in July. Move him up. Enough with Cabrera/Walker in the middle of everything gumming it all up.
Walker and Cabrera have been a big reason

For our RIsP failures. Move them down
Familia 4th pitcher in major league history

Seriously. I wouldn't even be surprised if Walker started hitting again if he had less pressure.
Turns out the one thing everyone  
ZGiants98 : 7/22/2016 10:40 pm : link
bitched about all offseason was the last thing we needed. Addison Reed is one of the best setup men in baseball. Robles is turning into an excellent setup option himself. We seemed covered from the left side with Blevins and Familia is on a historic run. Kind of crazy we might add MORE talent as its really the only area we can logically.

Whos starting in CF tomorrow
I really, really love Hansel Robles.  
arcarsenal : 7/22/2016 11:03 pm : link
I keep hearing people say we need to acquire a 7th inning guy to shore up the 7-8-9 but I think Robles is it. Unfortunately, Bastardo really hasn't panned out.. obviously the plan was for him to be the 7th inning guy and have Robles be the bridge/long man but it hasn't worked out that way.

I wouldn't mind adding another reliever and we probably should in some capacity but I'd personally be completely comfortable with Robles as the 7th inning guy. He hit a little rough patch around Memorial Day but since June 1st he has a 1.99 ERA (not counting tonight, so it's actually a little lower) and I definitely feel like he's still getting better. Dude is only 25 years old.

Anyway.. huge win. Loney's HR was a fucking moonshot.. looked like Griffey. Really can't be any happier with what he's given us in Duda's place. Funny how it works.. Flo gets the start at 1B and then it's JL who comes through late with the blast.

Reed has been incredible and Familia just keeps doing what he does. Always worried that the one night he can't walk that tightrope is going to be one we really, really need.. but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, the guy just keeps coming through.

Cannot do any worse than splitting the next two.. absolutely must, MUST win this series. A sweep would be ideal. Jake is going to have his work cut out for him with Fernandez going but I actually have the most confidence in him right now out of all our pitchers. He'll bring it. Let's do this.
I have confidence

the Mets will hit their young new fifth starter Urias.

If we can steal tomorrows game, we are in good shape
Good post Arc - I think the BP search is more to keep those 3 fresh  
Eric on Li : 7/22/2016 11:14 pm : link
also seems like they might be looking at guys who are groundball pitchers, which is 1 thing we don't currently have outside of Familia. He's the only guy on the entire staff that has a GB% over 43% (he's 4th best in the entire league at 64%). Jefress for example is 17th best at 58%, which is also Joe Smith's career %.

Going to be Lagares. Because of the huge ballpark I doubt Conforto plays much this weekend.
Agree 100% Arc per usual  
ZGiants98 : 7/22/2016 11:19 pm : link
I think Fernandez has only lost one time in his last 30 starts or something like that at home. lol. Definitely not going to be easy tomorrow.

I think the pieces are starting to come together though. The top of the order has come alive. Cespedes might be shaking off the rust. TDA has been hitting. Loney/Flores have been filling in fine. We are close to having things click again.

Overall, Mets are 15th in baseball with a 97 wRC+
FOURTH in the baseball with no one on with a 104 wRC+
27th with runners on with 84
dead last with RISP with 63

The Mets can hit. They get something in their heads in run scoring situations which prevents them from performing as they can.

They need a shrink, not a new hitting coach.
Apparently the Mets have checked in on Longoria  
ZGiants98 : 7/22/2016 11:37 pm : link
No idea if there's anything to it but imagine moving Reyes to SS?

SS Reyes
CF Granderson
CF Cespedes
1B Duda
3B Longoria
RF Conforto
C TDA
2B Walker/Johnson/Flores

Now that's a fucking lineup. lol


Dodgers and Cards

This is one of those stats that should include post season.
Just checked Walkers stats  
Vanzetti : 7/23/2016 9:32 am : link
I knew he had been struggling but he has been brutal the last two months. Campbell -like

Cabrera has also been terrible with in the clutch. .137 with RISP and two outs.

If you keep playing guys because of their contracts, you will pay for it. Fine to try and get a guy going in June. But it is getting to be crunch time: guys should play strictly on merit. Cabrera needs to get more days off and Walker needs to go to the bench or be packaged in a trade. He is a black hole in the lineup
Yea the pie in the sky notion  
bhill410 : 7/23/2016 9:47 am : link
Of offering walker to get a draft pick is very quickly withering on a vine
Walker is your seventh hitter  
spike : 7/23/2016 9:49 am : link
Unfortunately we dont have a no 5 or 6 hitter.

I suggest playing Flores more often instead of Walker. Even Johnson needs more ABs.
Walker has been a negative offensively since May
Ideal lineup
