Jonathon Niese tries to get the Mets off on the right foot in the first of six games in nine days against the first-place Nationals. Game time is 7:05 PM
START 7/17 CHATTER
Ugh, Bay for Quint. Terrible move. Why lose Quint when Valdespin can go down?
Also, one of the people on the radio made a good point. Bay was hitless(maybe he had 1 or 2) during his rehab stint. Why bring up someone who can’t even hit minor league pitching?!? They should have kept him playing rehab games until he had to come up or until he started hitting.
We will lose Q for sure. Bay’s return is a guarantee this season is over as far playoffs.
Looks like a HUGE strikezone tonight
Bay looking bad as usual
WOW tejada!
I’m just back but not watching. What did rt do
great defensive play
and looks like a big strikezone tonight
ugh another DP ball
Great. M big rt fan. I think his ceiling is much higher than most do
Ok. Working on getting set Up…Back shortly
Bay is gruesome.
test
Man mets are anemic vs Lefties
I think the Mets will break out this inning
it is gruesome against left handed pitching. Its makes them impossible to be a playoff team
At least Niese looking nice, but he’s losing
Is Zimmerman less crouchy this year?
Cmon Wright, get us started\
Cmon DW!
Is it just me, or is Wright’s situation becoming a real concern.
He just hit a double
sweet. Im behind you. Shoulds have been caught
Was a tough play, espcially with that non-cushy scoreboard behind him
he looks as bad as Duda! Yeah, that wall is fearsome
Wild pitch!
no!
im just getting the foul ball!
def PB not WP
Cmon hairston, look away!
ugh
great, jason bay
is DW still on 3rd
yea, unfortunely
at least hes not out!!
I will be bewildered if Bay makes contact here
time to steal home
we dont hit on the outside very well eaither
Typical bay
K?
A little better, a weak shallow fly
sad sad sad
He’s now 1 fer 7 getting in baserunner at 3rd with less than 2 outs
lets see, a menu of sliders…?
that somehow was quite predictable
I continually find it hard to separate my real feelings, that this is not a playoff ready team, from the daily game, in which I get so frustrated at this kind of lifeless play. I would have brought in Red for Bay.
meanwhile, at least the Giants seem to be eating the braves alive: 8-0 bott 5th
Mets really need to go at least 4-2 against Nats
That would really help morale
agreed. this lefty is very hard on the mets with the across body delivery. davey knows how to get mets out
He beat it!
It looked like he was safe even with the naked eye
So, Batista get the ball.
bad call
safe…by a mile
but this is how it goes…start losing and you dont get the calls. ump in wrong spot
should be a tie game
what happened?
yep S H I T
(sorry, Im mad)
aweful AB. aweful. And we lose Niese
And predicably, Bay is 0 for 3. Why did Collins rush this guy back!
Nice. Ramirez has his ERA down to 3.60
staggering we get plenty of runs when the pitching is horrible, then we get a great start, and cant get anything zeros on offense. It mystifies me. All or nothing
How did Edgin hop over Brydak on the depth chart?
test
game is screaming by
if i remember correctly, mets have beat up on clips a few times before
lets hope Edgin does it here
meanwhile it is only 9:07
quick game
Brian might not even make it to this chat today
That was a strike the other 7 innings…
awful awful
lets hope they can conjure up 9th inning magic
and collins looks like a genuis again
well, name, we can only hope. We could make the plummet through the division in a NY minute at this rate
que?
got it
we need some yard here
you still behind?
DW strike 1
Clipps is avoiding Wright
well, that makes sense
see the hit yet?
no
….but im getting excited!
Lets see if Hairston can rip one here
Clipps doesn’t have great control tonight
3-2 to DW
ok, ill take that
that blown call at 1B looms, eh?
let’s hope hairston can make that a moot point
Spin for Bay…overdue
terrible discipline
wtf! that wasn’t a strke
another ump who hates the mets
Valdespin!
**** Yes!
holy ****
omg
sorry, that was a huge boost
spill it. Im 1-2 on spin
It’s coming.
no no no no
that kid is a gamer!!!!!
Bay would have hit into a DP
did they keep the hr?
yes
ok. who gets bottom 9?
lol. Ironic. I wanted Valdespin to go out for Bay, and now he provides the go ahead HR
I would sit Bay. i dont care what his salary is.
im guessing Harper is up in 9th
i hope this doesn’t turn into that ugly 14 inning seesaw game earlier this year
i’m having some issues with this chat. You?
I was hoping they would keep Bay until his rehab window ended
keep Bay down
Parnell’s first real chance this year
Don’t fail us now
the chat is sluggish. on my ipad its barely useable
This game really should be a 4-1 game in favor of the Mets, if the umps called everything correctly
HOW WAS THAT NOT A STRIKE!
this ump is clearly favoring the nats
i know. the zone is terrible for the mets
u have 1 out?
and that low and outside strike on ‘Spin was outrageous
yes
morse hit a single
losing an AB that far ahead in the count…its the old parnell
oh no. Shades of that 14 inning earlier this year
run score?
1st and 3rd now
on a hit and run
i feel queasy
ronnie a bit much with the gushing on parnell. ok he got the k, but look around?
espinosa should be an easy K. He’s such a free swinger
Finally Parnell’s pitching.Let’s hope he is rewarded with the Save
over?
far from
run in?
test
yes
His fastball is really hittable for some reason
it has no movement at all
this sucks. i hope sandy is watching
or drinking himself blind
name, Im simply flabbergasted.
The game should be over. That 2nd run for WAS should have never scored
But the ump missed a called strike 3
Thank *** the ump got taht right
surprised we got that call
terrible umpiring
why? he was clearly safe
gotta love tejada in this situation
i mean in general
did kirk push
yes
cmon RT!
first call i’ve seen go for the mets
is my stuff showing up?
Yes!
Thole!
Parnell 10th? or Rauch?
or someone else?
Go Josh!
Im more bully on JT than most. I think he could be a real MLB catcher
I guess Byrdak and Rauch?
Id like to see this get ion corked
uncorked
Yea. I hope they get an insurance run
Batista for the 10th? Oh no
DW go down?
groundout
c r a p
Guess we’ll see Batista to start the 9th, then we’ll see Brydak trying to finish it
that’s my guess
Batista??? really?
That’s who they showed warming in the bullpen
I somehow knew a fate with Harper would be inevitable. Trust me, the bottom 10th is gonna be serious work
We’ll have Brydak ready for him
Edgin really had a stinker tonight. Thats a downer.
Ok. I was wrong. It is Brydak to start with Beato ready in the bullpen
shades of the last game
here is the Harper matchup you predicted
I mean really. we cant get 3 stinking outs
the runner get pushed?
harper wins the battle
tie game?
and he’s on 3rd
triple?
we need a real closer
this is EXACTLY like that game earlier vs the Nats.
yep
I don’t think we’ll get out of this jam
nope. this **** is fully flushable
You think Beato can do this?
yeah, sure. But it doesnt matter really because we wont score again.
heads up play by Davis anyway. We need to celebrate the small wins. Good hits like Thole’s. Niese’s start. Better if we forget about W and L.
why not? Nats bullpen isn’t that great after Clippard and Burnett
Hey Brian. Crazy game
Beato?
2 outs bases loaded, right?
I’m listening on the radio
yes
Wild pitch loss
r u kidding?
harper wins both of these **** games?
ouch
Bad umpring AGAIN
Good night.
What was the umpiring problem
Bad strike zone for the mets, in my opinion
strike zone. and awful call at first
im glad my internet connection dropped so i didnt have to see it
Wow – well I’m pretty exhausted so I’m saying good night. I should be around for tomorrow’s chat. Until then…
see ya name. enjoyed the chat
Yea. See ya guys
