NFT: New York Mets vs. Walgreens Nationals - Game 2 - Redemption

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 11:37 am
Can we just burn that other fucking thread? I don't want to look at it anymore.

New day, fresh start.

Wheeler vs. Gio.

Cespedes has had success against Gio so he'll almost certainly be back in the lineup today.

Time to see what this team is made of and how they handle a little adversity. Everything's easy when you're winning. Now we've got to bounce back from a horrific loss.

That was not that...

Oh well. Back within striking distance.
He also clearly doesnt have his best stuff  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 8:52 pm : link
The velocity is down a bit. He doesnt have that good slider working. If deGrom always gets credit for "battling" when he doesnt have his best stuff it should be the same for others....

That said Wheeler needs to put another zero on the board now and not make this moot. lol

deGrom has earned it. Wheeler has not.
deGrom has proved  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 8:56 pm : link
what he's capable of when he "on". Wheeler arguably had the best start of the season his last time out so that's where Im coming from.
Ill take it.

Good job Wheels.
.  
arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 8:59 pm : link
Can't be mad at that outing for Wheels. Very solid.

But we need to get back on top here.
Wheels did his job  
Vanzetti : 4/17/2018 9:01 pm : link
Now go to Gsellman for the next two innings.
DeGrom is arguably the Mets ace and one of the better pitchers  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:03 pm : link
in the NL. Wheeler has one good start against a minor league level team.

Just saying that fans tend to go easier on a player that has proved time and time again his worth. Not as much with up and down players like Wheeler. But yes, he deserves credit.

Let’s tie it up here.
Gio has had a Maddux-like strikezone tonight.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:04 pm : link
Must be nice.

Let's goooooo. Have to get JLA home.
Oh jesus man...  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:08 pm : link
Im just saying some pitchers can battle when they dont have their best stuff and some cant. Im not comparing him directly to deGrom. lol

Let's Go!
Ugh, Reyes is an automatic out.

Cross your fingers and toes.

It's time, Josey.... gotta break through eventually.
Come on Reyes god damn it  
Chris684 : 4/17/2018 9:10 pm : link
put the ball in play

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:10 pm : link
Reyes is horrendous right now. Completely useless.
ugh...  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:11 pm : link

Just fucking cut Reyes already. He suuuuuuucks.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:11 pm : link
Nice pussy swing.
Reyes needs to be dfa'd

Rosario has to get better at selling borderline pitches. He makes it look like he's waiting to get rung up.

Swung at ball 4. Love the kid but his plate discipline sucks.
Damn it Amed.  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:16 pm : link
Ball 4 and the top of the lineup coming up with the bases loaded. Ugh.
Mickey starts to lose me a little more each time Reyes gets an

I can't watch Reyes anymore  
Chris L. : 4/17/2018 9:18 pm : link
and I shouldn't have to. The guy can't play!!!

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:19 pm : link
LOL where is that pitch? This strike zone is a fucking joke.
Lol, I guess Gio only gets that strikezone.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:19 pm : link
Jesus
Can’t put Turner on base. It’s an automatic double.  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:20 pm : link
Ugh
Holy squeeze job  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:20 pm : link
Now Turner is on base and will steal two bases. Thanks UMP!
jesus christ  
CMicks3110 : 4/17/2018 9:20 pm : link
can we throw strikes
.  
arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:21 pm : link
LOL now Nido is throwing the ball into the OF.

We literally cannot throw a single runner out. It's a free steal every time.
Yup, must be the pitchers. Lol  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:21 pm : link
Nice throw. Double.
lol  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:21 pm : link
Nice throw Nido
The black hole

at the catching position is just so damn frustrating!
PItching to Bryce here?

Risky
Man I would definitely  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:23 pm : link
walk Harper here. Put the force on. Geez
Wow that was ballsy  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:25 pm : link
lol.

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:25 pm : link
Ballsy to let RG pitch to Harper there - we're lucky that didn't cost us 2 runs.

Come on, they guy doesn’t hit HRs every single at bat, lol. He can be pitched to.
Of course after all that  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:27 pm : link
Zimmerman of all people hits a rope God damn it.
This is why you don’t fucking walk Turner.

1st base was empty. We didn't have to pitch to him. We could have set up a force.

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:28 pm : link
It made plenty of baseball sense to walk Harper and pitch to a struggling Zimmerman - but of course we get Harper and Zimmerman comes through.

That's baseball, Susan.
You just knew  
Stufftherun : 4/17/2018 9:28 pm : link
he was going to get his first base knock in the series in that spot. Fuck me!
Another run surrendered on the base paths  
Chris684 : 4/17/2018 9:30 pm : link
because our catchers can’t make competitive throws down to 2nd base.

I don’t know what the answer is but this has gone on long enough.

Cespy coming around a little bit.

He's a guy I definitely think will break out when the weather warms up. Not worried about him at all.

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:34 pm : link
Cmon Toddy. We need a blast in the worst way here.

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:37 pm : link
Horrendous AB. Yet again, we can't even put a ball in play with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.
Geez...  
ZGiants98 : 4/17/2018 9:38 pm : link
bad night for Fraze
What professional player swings at a ball that bounces  
PhiPsi125 : 4/17/2018 9:38 pm : link
BEFORE THE PLATE?

arcarsenal : 4/17/2018 9:39 pm : link
I have no idea what Frazier was looking for during that AB. He had some of the worst swings I've ever seen.
