NFT: Indians at Mets Game 3. Thor! Sweeps Thread!

20 minutes. Wilson-Familia- Diaz and a team of cold hitters... Welp.

But hopefully they can tack on some more runs and bring it home.

I have my doubts that they can keep Indians down. Mets need s few more runs

help from the scoreboard. Looks like the other NL contenders are crushing the shitty teams too. Gotta keep winning.

Familia then Diaz

Or Fam then Wilson if available then diaz

This is criminal. If anyone gets hurt in this one....

The AL is brutal outside of the Astros. Mediocre to trash outside of HOU.

Great to hear Stroman is ready to go but I’d rather give him the extra time and take advantage of the offday and have him go next Saturday in Philly which is a huge game anyway Starting pitching is all that matters in the postseason. But thanks for the update.

Really? I don't think the Royals staff on the team that won a few years ago was a strong point of that team. Didn't seem to matter that year.

On his roller skates out there

Hmmm...

Was wondering if maybe seewald and avilan matchup for the 8th?

Something

Serious gun on Nayquin. Had to try it tho.

Maybe it gets familia back out there for the 8th since he didn’t have to be hit for that inning.

That’s baseball 101

That’s baseball 101

On that check swing call.

As well. Figure he’d be up here as well, no?

York ave in manhattan

Sewald

He’s returned with a lot more juice

Scares the crap out of me......his stock has cratered

Well, Regan says he’s on the rebound. Huge outing for him coming up.

Pouring now. How about calling this game?

might as well have called this game

obviously this is not safe - likely it's worse than when they started the delay originally

This Indians pitcher wilds his way into a couple of more runs

Rosie!

?

Umps have really hosed everyone. Gonna be here till 3 am

Radar now shows a wider block of rain from western NJ moving east

And so there is baseball to watch while the umps get their heads out of their butts.

Yeah. It looks pretty substantial. Oh well, I’m off tomorrow to get an epidural injection into a disc. Guess it’s coffee time.

good luck jpk

Which is a pretty good app has it raining hard (harder than now) until 2:30 or so. Kinda messed up to hang an 8 hour night on these teams. But, Indians are in division and WC races. I get that they want to give them every chance to play a full game, but at some point it seems a disservice with how wet the infield is on top of all the water that the OF has taken.

On the bright side, 2nd and 3rd, no outs with 2-3-4 up.

These wacky rain delays always bring out the bad memories of that awful game against the Padres one day before the Cespedes trade - and the game earlier this year where Alonso lobbied the unps,to keep playing.

But I got faith in these dudes if they have to back out there. Time for Diaz to join the renaissance!

The upton homer post rain delay was such a nut shot.

Thanks! I herniated a disc at the gym a few months back. Lot of burning into the leg and all that jazz. God willing tomorrow is the last epidural and I can get back to moving without pain. But yeah, that thing hurt like a mofo last time!

That was the fucking worst. It was the day after the failed Gomez trade and the team was just in a WTF?? moment. Four days later they are tied for first, have Yoenis and were on their way to the pennant.

That Five Days in Flushing documentary on SNY is a really good breakdown of that wild week.

When McNeil comes back, with the way Lagares is playing, I’d be down with platooning Lagares in CF and slotting McNeil to take a lot of Frazier’s time at 3rd?

Frazier has had a couple of huge moments, but he’s our worst hitting regular right now.

Yeah I think it has to go that way. They can still play Frazier against lefties and rest Panik but Frazier is hitting under .200 and Panik is hitting over .300. That's a pretty straightforward decision.

Nats play the cubs this weekend. Also Phils play the brewers starting Monday. Chance to make moves while other clubs knock each other around.

My gf had 3 epidurals but they were only temporarily effective. Then she went to a back surgeon and turns out the disc was herniated rather than bulging. Epidurals never would have worked. She had back surgery and it was a miracle.

The back surgeon was great. I subsequently went to him for neck disc

Obviously your situation is different but thought I would just do the FYI in case. If epidural does not work well, you might want to go to a surgeon

Called it!

METS Sweep! What a shit show. Should have called it 4 hours ago assholes.

Sweep sweep!

Rest up and hope that Jake has his A-1 stuff tomorrow to set a tone against the Barves

I think that means 15-5 against the AL this year. God bless interleague

But is sure is nice keeping pace.

deGrom tomorrow.

McNeil back Saturday.

LFGM!

is close to finding his slider. I swear if he does our pen can go from disaster to A++ in a second. Everybody else has come around and is doing their jobs. Even Familia.

Thanks Vanzetti! Am working with a good surgeon at Weil. He says if this epidural doesn’t solve it, then we will do surgery. I’m fine with that if that’s what it takes!

The surgeon recommended the epidurals before committing to the surgery. I’m following his lead all the way. Got to fix the burning and numbness. But at least strength has come back. It was spooky weak before the first epidural.

Oh man. If familia maintains this and Diaz returns to last year’s form, the bullpen is more than enough to back up this staff. If we can get to the wild card game and win it then I think we are the annual “team that no one wants to face” in the post-season.

we have decent pitching matchups, looking at the ESPN schedule...

Atl: Foltynewicz, Fried, Keuchel v JDG, Wheeler, Matz
Chi: Darvish, Hendricks, Lester v Stro, Thor, JDG
Phi: Nola, Eflin, Vargas v Wheeler, Matz, Stro
Was: Only lists Thor v Corbin, that means the back end of their rotation w/ JDG, Wheeler up...

As dumb a comment as it gets.

Yeah...Offense and bullpen has been working out great for you over the last 10+ years...
