Open Thread - Game 95: Mets vs. Dodgers (07/19/2007) on SNY

by Eric Simon on Jul 19, 2007 4:20 PM EDT in Game Chatters Comment 103 comments

Tale of the tape:

	Glavine	Lowe
ERA	4.15	3.05
FIP	4.88	3.43
K/9	4.22	6.63
BB/9	2.91	2.71
K/BB	1.45	2.45
HR/9	1.09	0.54
WHIP	1.30	1.23
BABIP	.267	.293
eBABIP	0.333	0.286

Que se dillio:

Tough four game series here against the first place Dodgers. I'd say a 2-2 split would be optimistic. The Mets have to hope to win the games against Hendrickson and Tomko because Penny and Lowe have been very good this year.

what will come first

Tom Glavine's 300th win or Barry Bonds' 756th homer. I would say Barry's will come first. It may come in the Cub series especially if the wind is blowing out at Wrigley

correction

Bonds plays his next three at Milwaukee a good hitter's park. It would be ironic if he breaks it in Bud Selig's backyard

Probably 756

For all we know Barry could break the record tomorrow, but the earliest Tommy will be able to do it is Tuesday. Besides, Bonds is "well-rested" now.

on

Anderson single he was stealing. He didn't see that Anderson had hit the ball so he slide into 2nd and couldn't go to third. The on Wrights double he was stealing third and did the same thing, and this time he kind of got up and walked back toward second so he had to touch 3rd again and barely scored in front of Anderson.

Well Pierre is hardly a formidable bat, he's probably the worse regular in all of baseball. Furcal hasn't performed as well he has in Atlanta. Nomar has an OPS this year 651.

Can't remember where I read it

but apparently the Dodgers have been hitting way above average since Bill Mueller took over for Eddie Murray as hitting coach. My guess is that they are ready for a regression to the mean. Good, but not great, lineup. Sorta like the Mets.

to think that Bill Mueller is the Dodgers' hitting coach. He's 36, but since he just retired it's unusual to see him on a ML staff so quickly.

"[Jose Reyes] sizzles in a lot of areas, doesn't he?" - Tim McCarver

by TheFlushingKings on Jul 19, 2007 11:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

In which respect?

The Dodgers have scored more runs than the Mets to this point in the season and have allowed only 5 more runs. Their lineup is only slightly better, and recently, at least according to what I read today, and I'm sorry I can't recall the source for you, were doing much better than they had been early in the season. My point is that their recent performance is probably not indicative of how good they really are, but they've probably been playing better than usual of late. Hence the regression to the mean. That's all. Please know I've read your recent posts and this is not meant to pick a fight, but to explain what I meant. Peace and Go Mets!

Tommy has been so inconsistent this year.

I read an article where he supposedly said it's been tough for him without Pedro, i.e. he likes Pedro to take the spotlight off him, he likes the energy and optimism Pedro brings to the team, and so on. Glavine said something along the lines that sometimes when he performs poorly, it's psychological. But tonight, I'm with Doc -- it looked like he just simply had nothing.

Good question

I keep hearing people say he's a shoo-in, but I strongly disagree with that. If Jim Rice and Keith Hernandez have been kept out all these years, I don't see why he should be let in. Sure, he might be the "greatest offensive 2B of all time", but look at everything Keith did for his position. Right now it's a toss-up, IMO.

Keith was wasn't quite

a good enough offensive player at that position to get in. Rice is a borderline case, but he was a bit one dimentional and played in hitters haven. They're only one other 2b who has ever hit like Kent, Rogers Hornsby. If Sandburg is in Kent is getting into(along with Alomar and Biggio).
