IGT 4/17/2018: WAS@NYM -- Zack Attack

[Guest 41Forever]

I can take a shot at this. Monday was one of those nights to remind you what 2017 was like so we can better appreciate 2018.

Zack Wheeler, who had a strong 2018 debut, takes on Gio Gonzalez.

Time for some relentless positive action! The streak starts anew.

Clear the mechanism, boys.

[Centerfield]

Big game tonight. Yuge.

Cabrera needs to be sitting today.

Yeah. That would be the ballsy move right? But he's hitting, and he switch hits, and we need this game, and Reyes is 0 for 2018.

Are we really sitting Conforto every lefty?

[A Boy Named Seo]

The guy with 4 hits yesterday? He plays. His base running boner was instinctual and aggressive and completely stupid. But it wasn't lazy or apathetic. Shit happens.

[Centerfield]

And how are we going to find out if Nimmo can hit lefties if we never play him?

I think at this point in his career and clubhouse stature he's a little above
being benched for a one-time offense. This is a big game, you trot our your
big players and he's hot right now.

OE: Offense is even strong, dumb miscue?

[ashie62]

At some point the Mets are going have to get more production at catcher.

Hoping Nido can get something started tonight

LGM

[Edgy MD]

Bases-loaded, inning-ending double-play.

I like this Moisés Sierra's style.

[Edgy MD]

Are none of you watching this crap?

Lots o' balls by Gonzo. But a strike-'em-out-throw-'em-out DP kills that mini-rally attempt.

[Lefty Specialist]

These ain't the Marlins, Zack.

[Frayed Knot]

Do these muthafuckas ever hit balls AT people?!?
I don't mean to demean their comeback last night or their lead tonight (well, I sorta do) but every soft piece of shit the Nats have made over the last 8 innings or so have landed just out of reach, or dribbled between, fielders.

They battle!

[Guest 41Forever]

Now we've got something going!

[Guest 41Forever]

On the board!

[Guest 41Forever]

And another!

[nymr83]

Reyes still drawing the "jose" chants at 0-16 on the year

He looks LOST

[Lefty Specialist]

Oh, Jose.

[Guest d'Kong76]

That swing to go 0-17 was just fugly.

[Gwreck]

Not good. Maybe we need a Reyes Deathwatch instead.

Yeah, that was ugly.

[nymr83]

Keith thought they might bring in a righty to face Rosario there - why? So the Mets could counter Conforto there? That would be dumb for the Nats

[Lefty Specialist]

Painful to watch Reyes at this point. Shoulda let him squeeze to get him going.

[Frayed Knot]

Even our defensive catchers don't make good throws to 2nd.
Have yet to see a good one out of Lobaton or Nido.

[Gwreck]

Strange no PH here for Flores.
