I suppose Lagares looking good has something to do with it but come on. De Aza is so useless. Yeah just admit is was a mistake and get rid of him. Nimmo as a bench player though is why they are doing it- they want him to play every day at Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to bring back Cespedes, so unless they're absolutely not even going to try Conforto at first, they're going to have to look into moving Granderson. They can't keep him down for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I heard in the radio call of the game that Cespedes said something along the lines that he'd prefer to be mainly in LF the rest of the way. I imagine due to all the leg ailments he's had this season. I like the move (Conforto call up) but really had hoped that Conforto would come back to almost everyday AB's which doesn't seem to be the case with Lagares starting to hit and Yo's comments about playing LF. At any rate he's a welcome addition if he's figured out what sent him into such a funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can that's an easy fix for next year as Nimmo is a natural center fielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if this was going to happen out of the break, Philly's the place do it. We always seem to hit well out of there. I am wondering if they should just shut him down until Monday. We're going to need runs at Wrigley. I'm heading to the Tuesday and Wednesday games. Maybe the Monday night game too if prices drop low enough. All three of these games have almost sold out. Crazy.

At any rate he's a welcome addition if he's figured out what sent him into such a funk. I've been saying it all year long, I think the strongest line up Collins can roll out is with Lagares in the Center and Ces and Grandy in the corners. As much as I love Conforto and want to see him gets a ton of AB's, Lagares is just more valuable IMO. What he brings to the field is amazing and he really has become a tough out at the plate. I figure Conforto can be a rotational guy, give Ces and Grandy rest, be a pinch hitter and start if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Terry's latest on his outfield plans: Mets manager Terry Collins said that Yoenis Cespedes will play center field on Tuesday. Cespedes prefers to play left field, partially to protect his recent quad injury, but he'll slide over to center field on Tuesday in order to go Michael Conforto's bat in the lineup. However, the Mets don't plan to make this a regular thing. Mets manager Terry Collins indicated Monday that Conforto could see time in center field now that he's back from the minors. That's not an ideal alignment Flores at 1st Base tonight with the Cubs throwing a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a few opportunities early and then again late when they went to their pen. Same problem all year in failing to get a big hit with RISP. The Cabrerra no bunt decision early on was a rally killer in that he hit into a DP but other than that you have to tip your hat to Lester as well as Rizzo for being all over the change up that Darling felt Matz tipped off.

faba Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Adam RubinESPN Staff Writer Terry Collins said one day was not enough of an acclimation period for Michael Conforto working out in center field. So Curtis Granderson is for the very short term playing there. "We're going to ease him into it," Collins said about Conforto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 That was an insane game to be at. What a team pitching duel from top to bottom. Place was so packed. This whole series has been. My god I hate Wrigley. 80 gazillion people packed into a sh*thole with like 5 bathrooms throughout the place, dogsh*t for food and one blocked sightline after another. Looking forward to watching Tolo tomorrow but every time I have to step foot in this dumpster of a stadium I want to kill myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 That was a fun game. Actually winning it with hitting late in the game. Pretty cool that Rivera was the hero to because he was the goat before the at bat. Not sure what play was bigger...the Conforto gun from Right or the DP to end the game. I mean, obvi choice would be the DP but that throw and tag to save a run was great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 That was a big win as the Cubbie Aces pitched lights out both nights. Two consecutive losses would sting especially with Hendricks going for them today. He is having a very good season that is not getting the attention it deserves.

faba Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Familia the magician gets out of the jam I like Lagares in center field for defensive purposes. Conforto experiment there may backfire not so easy to play there as we know defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Reyes absolutely whipped that ball to 2nd base, It was a missile and on target. My fear was that it would handcuff Walker. Had a gut feeling that Rivera was going to get the big hit, as he was in the middle of everything last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The Cubs just pitch so damn well at home. The Mets threw a lineup out there today that said we only care about resting up for Florida and that's pretty much how they played. Flores is so f'ing bad at 3rd. And Teuffel sending Loney to home on that Johnson hit, wtf was he thinking. Heyward had the ball before he even rounded the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Unless there's a significant change with us and/or the Nats by the time of the trade deadline it's looking like a fight for the Wild Card, a dog fight too. It's all good I guess, but I sure do hate the Nats and that really sucks losing to them....so far... Last year was so much fun the whole way for me. Even early in the year. But man I hate to lose and this has been tough after the winning last year. Hating the Nats, and Murphy now, just makes it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
