What better day to chatter than Friday the 13th when the Mets visit the house of horrors knows as Turner Field? Game time is 7:35 with the scheduled starters being Chris Young and Tim Hudson.
START 7/13 CHATTER
Mazzoni had an interesting game for Bing today. 7 innings no runs 4 hits no walks and only one strike out. 6 grounds out to 10 fly outs. starting to wonder when the Ks will come with this guy considering he’s really getting enough groundouts. maybe the scouts were right about his fastball being too straight.
really not getting**
Bing won the game 2-0 thanks to a two run triple from Flores. This guy continues to rake. He might force himself onto the team in about a year
Tough start for Mets. Hi Steve, enjoy your HYPE articles.
Reversal of fortunes for Young? Struggling in the beginning and dominant at the end?
Young is trying to paint the corners, and the braves and taking
braves are taking
Let’s close the door.
Can’t throw a curveball for a strike right now
exactly, not like him
and like cohen is saying, looks like he doesn’t want to throw his fastball for some reason
Not smart hitting Ugala
Big batter for Young here
Name, watching game on FS South on TV
Is that the braves tv station?
might be a long night
Dang it. I think it is their home feed.
Time to work on Hudson
3 Walks, unbelievable.
Ump seems to be favoring Hudson
thanks for the kind words metsense
wtf sny
Atlanta announcer said getting Bay back will be like getting a big bat at the trade deadline! Maybe we can do them a favor and send him there for a bag of *****!
lol sny just went to commercials when there were only 2 outs!
SNY is a mess man
Lost the feedat Fox Sports South also
are they having thunderstorms down there? i heard there was a chance for rain
Hey Steve do you live near Bingo town and see games live?
Nope I wish. I just follow the boxscores
I do live near Brooklyn. I might go see Nimmo and Evans a couple times before the season is over
Flores may be the real deal but I never seen him play
seriously, what happened? commericials usually aren’t this long
I’ve been dying to see him live or even on TV. I saw his two at bats during the futures games but he didn’t make any good contact that game
ah power outage at turner field
I’m in NC and go see Savannah when they are in Asheville or Hickory
I’m still in commercials
How’s Fulmer look live?
Power outage at turner field if your station didn’t update you yet
SNY is back haha
maybe we’ll get lucky and this game is cancelled?
Go power outage!
Saw him pitch this year, looked good 5.oIP,4h,2ER,1bb 7K’S ON 5/12.
he might be the real deal and he’s so young he might even add more velocity to that fastball
hopefully this game does get cancelled young looks real bad
Mets are really deep in pitching. Looks good for the future
really deep or really hyped?
both
The guys at the lower level are not that much hyped, they are just pitching good.
But even as soon as 5 years ago, if these guys were pitching well, we wouldn’t hear a peep about them
IE sae Edgin for Savannah last year and I knew he was the real deal, but I’m shocked he has moved this fast
there are some names too hyped. familia for one but he’s still young so there’s still hope for him. juan urbina is hyped. i wonder if anyone would mention him if his last name wasnt urbina. akeel morris is a mess as well. not a fan
darin gorski is showing his true colors this year too
Leathersich is another live arm
i like leathersich but he’s struggled a lot since his promotion
Tapia pitched a no hit game when I saw him also. 5 2/3 innings and also looked good.
i like tapia a lot. the groundballs are really impressive to me. i love that sinker. mets are being extra cautious with his arm
many young pitchers, one or two shall make it
between familia, montero, tapia, fulmer, and mazzoni if they can get 2 starters and a closer that would be awesome
aww, they resumed
This is what makes a perenial contender
OK back to MLB Name
Good thing we have a rested bullpen
Hi all, I m
Young avgs 16.9 pitches an inning over his career, 4th highest among active pitchers
Hey Chris
In a blackout zone. Bottom 2 just finish?
I’m watching on Fox Sports South on TV, do you get that?
Yeah, but I’m blacked out at home too!
Tomorrow on Fox National then. Tough break.
And he’s retiring?
I love Uggla
Game over
Let’s start chipping away
hudson not looking so sharp after that wright hit
Ike going the other way a good sign
HAIRSTON!
Vs lefties Hairston and Duda should platoon and Hairston should start in LF over Bay vs righties
man, you can never underestimate the Mets fight. I thought this game was over
Come on Name, this is the 2012 Mets, Remember the ride last Sunday!
But Hudson was dealing and the Mets bats just looked dead. But ho hum Wright somehow jump started this offense
Mets lead MLB with 5,2 runs scored on the road!
They also won 7 of 10 last road games
52 runs on the road? typo?
got some rare 1-out magic tonight
5 point 2 per game Better than Yankees 5.1
Braves have no SS
Just got home – what’s going on?
remiscient of the mets when they lost all their SS
Mets fell behind 5-0, have crawled back to 5-3
and still have 2 on 1 out
Well, that’s something!
Announcer Tom Glavine says Friday 13th continues
Can’t get mlb.tv to load the game
Papel BOMB him Jordy
oh yea, the game was delayed for like 20 mins because turner field had a power outage
I see Valdespin didn’t homer. Anyone on base?
1st and 3rd
Tejada with 2 outs 5-4+
Nice Come Back – Not bad
Who’s coming in to pitch for the Mets?
ESPN says it’s Batista?!? I thought he was replacing Gee in the rotation. Did I miss some big news?
No – He is available for weekend bullpen per TC
Hopefully he can go 3-4 innings and have a nice transition to the rotation
Hey Guys
Dan!
If that is what the Mets want – but I’ll take Harvey
And promptly Miguel serves up a double
But that batter hits doubles off everyone.
So what’s the chatter, is Matt Harvey going to be called up?
I’m not a Batista basher. He has exceeded my expectations. But I prefer Harvey.
Not yet, Dan.
Well, there was KB for filling me in lol
I can take 10 years more of that
Why are you walking Heyward when Chipper is on deck
Chipper is up
Time to take the lead!
absolutely
And deliver a vulture win for Batista!
Damm Liriano has 10 K’s in four innings but given up 4 runs
sounds like a frustrated fantasy owner…
thats me
Doug!
Any chance the Mets may inquire about Liriano. Maybe reuniting him with Johan could do him wonders
Name – saw your pro Batista post from this p.m. – It is a logical, sound argument. Still want Harvey
Remember in April when Ike hit that huge 3-run HR in Atlanta? Do it again Ike!
LGM
C’mon Duda
How could he have hit a 3-run HR when there was only 1 on base?
bases loaded
bases loaded no outs they better AT LEAST tie it
I was just thinking of a big home run
At LEAST
Scott looks sharp tonight LGM
just get it in the air scott
I’m predicting Hairston gets another cycle tonight
or just to the right side
Everything is away to Hairston.
damn
wow man terrible at bat
he swung at two ***** he could’ve walked in the tying run right there
he’s swinging for the fences as usual
this guy has his breaking ball working right now
We need contact here Kirk
nasty stuff
wow
smh thats the end of this inning
Is Kirk a long=term solution for the Mets?
but 2 outs
thole never comes up with a big hit
cmon guys don’t forget the 2 out magic
work a walk thole
lmao dont swing
get big red to the plate with the bases loaded
he was fortunate with that call
yeah that was a strike
son of a ***** man
Grrggh!
That hurts
that looked like the 2009-2010 mets right there
That looked like Jon Rauch vs the Rays
So if he goes another inning he’s in trouble?
We can only hope
Wasn’t 47 Orosco’s number?
Yes
I dislike the braves
The only thing worse than the Braves are their announcers.
worse than fox?
Watching on Braves channel and they have been gushing about the Mets.
It’s close. They’re as boring as Buck
I fear Batistas lack of control
edgin kinda looks like brian mccann?
What’s the consensus? Are we excited for Edgin?
Let
Let
see what the kid can do
We sure could use a DP
Saw him pitch in A ball last year. Looked good but can’t believe he is up so fast
Batista sucks when he comes outta the bullpen, but he’s proficient when he starts. Go figure
Has no control. He’s a nightmare
He has to pick at the corners at this stage of his career
I don’t think he doensn’t have control, it looks like he’s pitching scared all the time
Get him out
NOW
Young 3 walks in 1st now Batista
SMH
I’m not a fan of Collins bullpen usage
And into the fire Josh
What bullpen does he have to manage?
Aint that true
Fransisco has still oblique problem
Our lack of first pitch strikes terrifies me
The lack of a bullpen terrifies me
He’s making his MLB debut. He has butterflies
I hear that
There ya Go!! Huge
EDGIN!
Nice
Way to go Edgin
The slider is what impresssed me at A ball
looks good
Has there ever been a time where both sides left the bases loaded with 1 out?
That was goo
Both looked like strikes
Ssqueezed
One more
NICE!!!
YES!
Nicely done rook
What a debut!
Big league out!
so who doesn’t like our bullpen
Me
Both sides leave the bases loaded with 1 out
can he pitch 4 more innings. Please!
Seriously
Venters is on the DL, right?
nice showing from edgin
Who doesn’t like Torres?
he was getting squeezed by the ump
ME!
ready to cut him when Bay comes back?
Torres can field and hit lefties. Nice platoon with Kirk. Not around next year though.
i like torres against lefties
and captain kirk isnt exactly lighting the majors on fire anymore
hes been ice cold for over a month now
Are the Mets going to commit to Valdespin if they cut Torres. I think not.
Id say
strikes out too much
Kirk has 2RBI’s tonight
its a rare showing from kirk i wouldnt depend on him everyday in center field. im not too hot on valdespin either
reminds me of a young jose reyes when it comes to swinging at EVERYTHING but minus joses explosiveness
They are rookies, with success in the minors, so only time will tell.
OOh so close
Good to see Murphy pulling the ball. Just missed a HR there
i hope im wrong about em both metsense but i just see two people who strike out way too much
Yes, for sure. Kirk could be a 4th OF and Valdespin a super sub at the least. Den Decker also k’s alot but I have a good feeling about him.
Defensively for sure
kirk would be a nice 4th OF and den dekker i see as a 4th OF as well. he strikes out a ton too, but i’m still waiting to see if he turns it around in buffalo. If he can hit .250 with all his extra base power and his GG defense he could start in CF for the mets until nimmo is ready
Nimmo?
I like Bourn.
brandon nimmo
15 k’s for Liriano tonight. Should Mets look into him?
Oh I know. I just really doubt hes gonna make it to the show
i like Nimmo hes got a nice eye for a kid his age
hes striking out a bit too much but ive seen several Brooklyn games this year and the strike zones are huge down there
I would only look into Liriano if he came cheap
his eye may be too advanced for that level lol and yeah i agree i wouldnt give up anything too valuable for liriano
damm
F Chipper
**** that was one of the worst sliders ive seen
I hate him
He’s getting his pitches up now
This game seems like Yankee-Red Sox
And we’re the red sox
With 10 outs to go we might unload the whole pen
It’s fine. 1st game after break and Dickey going tomorrow
back up the garbage truck
Well, we are getting a taste of our own medicine wit the 2 out hits
Ramirez and Rauch have been huge disappointments
Truer words never been spoken
8 Walks, come on man!
15 3 ball counts by Met pitchers
Icontrol
It would be a miracle if the mets won this game
and if the game ended before midnight
Forget the RA every 4 days, keep him on 5 and pitch him every day between starts out of the pen
Orel Hershiser style in 88
About time
RAs trending worries me. Lousy last start and not sharp at asg.
Dan, if Liriano was cheap, OK but i’d rather see Harvey
Yeah, I wonder what the Twins would want. Wouldn’t mind seeing him reunite with Johan
RA didn’t look to sharp on Letterman. Davis caught too many!
keys stuck
Chris F as we said before – he will be good just not that good
When the mets were down 5-0, david started us with a double. Let’s see if he can do it again
That looked bad Lucas
Duda is done
He will be platooning with Hairston when Bay get back
Why can’t we get relievers like this kid?
Eventually we will, the low minors are stocked.
I hope so
It’s 2012 though and we need help now without giving away the ranch. Broxton, Street or K Rod on a salary dump with a second tier prospect and Cedeno to any of the contenders that are lacking at SS for a veteran reliever.
I have to go guys. It was good chatting with you all. LGM!
Cedeno has really taken to the Hudgens way
finally torres
Torres can hit from the right side
Cmon RT
They keep battling Imagine if they had a bullpen
They hit Marmol hard with the cubs, beat Papelbon, can they get Kimbrel with a blown save?
I know
We shall soon see.
Of course , there lots of 8th left to worry about!
Thanks Heyward
Dumb
Hey maybe the Braves will try another delayed steal
Why would they even attempt that with the Mets walking the park
Dumb
Byrdak and Parnell are the only reliable relievers. Fransisco is scarey but he does do what he is paid to do. Sandy got to get some help.
Well now we have Edgin and Beato, lets see what they can do
True, but the Mets need more.
Edgin looked good, better than he will look in the line score
Quite a bit more
another walk
they are killing their FIP
relief pitchers need to throw strikes, something that has killed the Mets all year
Control issues
Warthen is a lousy coach
seems like always a lead off walk
Collins is lousy managing the bullpen
Warthen has not “turned around” one Met pitcher. Parnell credits Iggy and Koufax.
Great news from st lucie. Bay went 0-3 and hit into a double play
Name – can you elaborate
I think Collins has to be blamed for part of the bullpen struggles. He pretty screwed over Acosta by not using him correctly.
Maybe Bay belongs in Kingsport or Savannah
Send Bay to Europe
Wright Ks on ball 4.
Davis in danger of heading on the interstate, Again
Acosta had pretty bad numbers. TC uses Byrdak well and seems to eat enough tums to survive Fransisco
Pill be honest fellow mets fans, I think it could be a long second half.
This is one game. Relax
and this game could quickly turn into a positive
RA tomorrow, Johan Sunday,
Add the cubs….
that pitch was low
2-4 to begin second half.
Honestly Chris, that is what I expect. 3-3 would be good.
2 out of the next 5 games are started by Dickey, so i’m going with 4-2
I hear ya…but it makes all the playoff talk seem far out of place. We need to strive for 500
you don’t strive for something you already have…
I like your optimism metsense! Well by end of year name
Let’s get a bullpen and get the Braves tomorrow. 3-3 against that competition on the road is good. Thanks for the chat
Tomorrow…go RA
can’t really blame the bullpen for this loss when SP gives up 5 you’re not gonna win many
i think 4 out of the last 5 SP have given up at least 4 ER or more
That scares me name
Yep. HOpefully RA can buck that trend. See ya’ll tomorrow
