deGrom is the best pitcher in baseball when he's healthy. He's so fucking good. I hope the Mets reup him this offseason.
Very Important Game To Win, since we face Wheeler tomorrow,  
Dennis : 8/13/2022 7:10 pm : link
...And we lost yesterday.
We need to win at least one of the three games, and preferably the next two.
Here's a link to tonight's game:  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 7:12 pm : link
7:10 PM EST start

Buck's got McNeil in the lineup tonight, lacerated finger and all.

Enjoy :-)


Phillies @ Mets from Citi Field - 8/13/22 - SNY Feed - ( New Window )
Need this one tonight  
larryflower37 : 8/13/2022 7:14 pm : link
Give deGrom some run support
Oh McNeil,  
Dennis : 8/13/2022 7:16 pm : link
Was that your finger?
Was Mc Neil's throw off because of the hard slide or the thumb?  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 7:17 pm : link
Could anyone tell?
deGrominator gave up a hit!  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 7:20 pm : link
lol

First inning line:
14 pitches (10 S)
2 Ks
1 H
0 R
If Lindor and Alonso hit, we win.  
Dennis : 8/13/2022 7:30 pm : link
I believe Pete was hitless last night, and we only scored 1 run. I don't know the precise correlation between Pete's hitting and Mets winning, but I bet it's a high positive correlation. Anyone have exact figures?
The guy on thefar right should still be with us...

Totally agree. His loss is the one I'm most angry about, and regret the most. I don't know all the details of how or why it happened, but I'm angry at the Wilpons for it.

if you added up their RBIs it has to be an extremely high % of the total runs scored on the year. they are over 500 runs scored and their RBIs are approaching 200, so simple math is almost 40% of the offense from 2 players with roughly 20% of the at bats.

nothing complicated, just cheapness. short sighted cheapness too because i think they ended up paying stroman about $30ish million for mediocrity.

Thanks Eric!
The Phillies are on that type of run where all these quirky  
CooperDash : 8/13/2022 7:50 pm : link
little things just seem to go their way. Balls hitting the base, Nido forgetting to run when he wasn’t tagged, a ghost tripping LG. Weird shit.
That throw by McNeil, just now; I think his thumb is really bothering  
Dennis : 8/13/2022 8:00 pm : link
Him.
He needed stitches yesterday. I couldn't throw a ball with stitches in my thumb.
deGrom is SICK!  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 8:30 pm : link
Here's his line through 5 innings:

64 pitches (48 strikes)
0 R
1 H
0 BB
9 K
huge stopper game from jdg  
Eric on Li : 8/13/2022 8:40 pm : link
bad loss yesterday and he has totally flipped the momentum. would be nice to get him more runs.
deGrom finished after 6  
Snablats : 8/13/2022 8:43 pm : link
Lugo coming in
Here's Jakes line through 6 innings so far:  
Optimus-NY : 8/13/2022 8:44 pm : link
76 P (57 S)
0 R
2 H
0 BB
10 SO


Will they bring him out to start the 7th? Lugo's up in the pen.
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  
PakistanPete : 8/13/2022 9:11 pm : link
May looks really good
May being back and pitching like this would be huge

Sure beats Apple TV+, lol!
Need an insurance run  
ciggy : 8/13/2022 9:15 pm : link
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  
PakistanPete : 8/13/2022 9:16 pm : link
May feeling himself. I like it.

Well, this is why they pay him millions a year.

Please.
If deGrom...

gets hit by a bus, survives, but can't play baseball again, has he done enough for a spot in Cooperstown?

No doubt. You'd have a tougher argument against than for.

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.
