I forgot how dominant deGrom is..  
Chris684 : 8/13/2022 8:45 pm : link
When you watch his starts you come away surprised when people get a hit every now and then.
Gary's right  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 8:47 pm : link
The next 2 starts will on only 5 days rest and will be at Atlanta on Thursday 8/18 and then 5 days after that in the Boogey Down Bronx against the Prison Stripers on Tue. 8/23 w/an off day the next day.

We basically have Superman on our team. Gotta hold on for two innings until Diaz cn come in for the 9th and end this.
this pretty much sims it up

The Mets Announcers Are So Intelligent  
Dennis : 8/13/2022 9:05 pm : link
It's a pleasure listening to them.

Ronny went to Yale or Harvard, and it's clear from references he makes that he reads, and that he uses hid mind for more than baseball

Keith is very cosmopolitan, lives in the city, and also makes references to going to cultural events. He is also a student of American history, and knows the civil War thoroughly.

And Gary has a wonderful vocabulary, and is clearly intelligent, and not just another jock, like so many other announcers are.

We are so lucky to have them, but the NY fan base is also very intelligent, and water has found it's mark in the congruence of this fan base and these
announcers.
Conversely, I’d love to see the stats on how many runs  
CooperDash : 8/13/2022 9:06 pm : link
the Mets score during the innings that Jake pitches in. It has to be such a low number. They never score for him.
Damn

May looks really good
May being back and pitching like this would be huge

Now
Why was Gary talking about using a lefty vs Schwarber  
Snablats : 8/13/2022 9:16 pm : link
Does anyone really think Buck wants Joely in that situation? This is how it will be in the playoffs - Lugo or May will have to get the lefty hitters out
Lol

I'd say so. 2 Cy Youngs, Rookie of the year, 4 time All Star and generally considered the best pitcher in baseball for a long stretch. It wouldn't be unanimous, but I think he'd win it.
Let's go!!!  
moze1021 : 8/13/2022 9:41 pm : link
Huge win

Had a bad feeling all game.. glad they pulled it out.

Let's get the damn bats going tomorrow!!!
What a job by both SPs tonight:  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 9:41 pm : link
I think Nola retired something like 17 batters in a row at one point.

I don’t know the answer but I think that with how relatively small his overall body of work still is, the fact that it is a legitimate question shows how dominant he’s been.

He’s knocking on the door. Another Cy would do it. A World Series title in which he pitches throughout the postseason would probably do it.

+1. Great pitchers duel. Reminded me of the 1960's.
The Phillies look like more of a threat now than the Barfs do

based on how each team has played recently against the Mets.
this has been a really good series

That would be my concern also, how small his overall body of work is. I have no doubt that his ability is better than most people in the hall of fame, but I don't know that he has the evidence to show it.

Barring a miracle the Braves are sweeping tonight so the lead will be 5.5

Need to win tomorrow to keep it at 5.5 heading into Atlanta

I don’t think Keith lives in the city any more. Unless he just moved there ;he’s lived really far in Long Island . Agreed on all other points.

I tried watching apple at a bar and they had loading problems with the stupid think wheel spinning the whole time. Apple and Amazon becoming classic cases of di- worsification with their forays into sports broadcasting

Lives in Sag Harbor. Much more cosmopolitan than NYC!
Great pitching last night  
jpkmets : 8/14/2022 9:56 am : link
Huge outing from May to get that clean 8th.

Diaz didn’t have his most dominant stuff, but prevailed.

Lugo is getting more consistent.

And that call-up who started was ok.

Feel like the off day interrupted the offensive flow a bit, though the Phils have pitched well and played sound baseball. Hoping we can get back to grinding and raising pitch counts against Wheeler today!
very intrigued by Paul Gervase  
KDavies : 8/14/2022 10:33 am : link
Now at 4 innings in the pros. 2 hits, no walks, 9 Ks. Hoping he can be a force in the bullpen for the parent team in a couple years

in a rush this morning so just some minor league highlights

Raul Beracierta's OPS is now up to .830, his average up to .305 after a 3 hit performance that included his 12th homer for
@stluciemets
. Paul Gervase struck out 4 over 2 innings giving him 9 over 4 pro innings. Chase Estep was on 3 times, including hitting his first pro HR



Brett Baty had a hit and a walk, Francisco Alvarez 0-3, with a K, Mark Vientos added 3 hits, Syracuse committed 5 errors including 1 each from Baty, Alvarez, and Khalil Lee

Phillip Diehl allowed 4 runs over 1 inning of work, he may yet be a decent grab by the Mets but it likely won't be this season


2 hits for Alex Ramirez, Christian Scott 4 scoreless in his
@BKCyclones
debut. Scott's FIP on the season is now a sparkling 2.69 (#1 in the organization amongst SP), William Lugo added a single


Ronny Mauricio recorded a single. August has been a rough one for the lanky SS, .196/.196/.392 with 0 walks over 11 games
Reimer  
DanMetroMan : 8/14/2022 10:57 am : link
Ankeney, Gursky, Morabito, Malm all made their pro debuts yesterday
.  
DanMetroMan : 8/14/2022 11:29 am : link
Omar De Los Santos's next steal will be his 60th of the season

Only one qualified EL hitter (Dane Myers) has a lower BB% than Ronny Mauricio

@stluciemets
OF Blaine McIntosh OBP (.389) trails only Brett Baty, Fernando Villalobos, Luis Castillo, and the now suspended Karell Paz amongst
@mets
minor leaguers currently playing stateside

I was unaware of this but Diehl will be a minor league FA unless they add him to the 40 man (which seems doubtful)

Big day for a couple of injured Mets pitchers.

🔹Tylor Megill (right shoulder strain) is throwing his first bullpen session since his injury.

🔹Drew Smith (right lat strain) is throwing off flat ground for the first time.

Both should be bullpen options down the stretch.

I watched Diehl on that sream link Dan provided (thanks Dan!)  
Vanzetti : 8/14/2022 1:30 pm : link
For those who have not seen him, he has a breaking ball with a huge vertical drop and decent horizontal movement.

He reminds me of Pedro Feliciano but more vertical and less horizontal than Pedro.

Like Pedro, the key will be whether he can throw the breaking ball for strikes. If he does, he will be tough. IMO a good "high risk/decent possible reward" acquisition.
