IGT 4/27: Mets @ Padres, Dutch Boy vs. Richard

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lobaton takes advantage of a MASSIVE second-hand hole... and then looks understandably confused when it's time to salt and pepper. I mean, on base is a weird place to be for the guy, no?

Not following the third baseman in on the squeeze, then camping on third on the grounder. What the hell is Lagares doing/being told to do on third?

[Edgy MD]

I send Lagares on contact. He'd probably be out there, but he'd force a throw and tag (and look at Asuaje throwing under pressure).

If he's out. Lóbaton displaces him on first.

On the other hand, as LWFS notes above, Lagares should have tried to score on the bunt, too. Come on, Sherlock.

[Edgy MD]

Well, he can score on that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I was JUST about to bitch about how Terryball the baserunning was in this inning, and then... Ass-drubbin', you magnificent bastich.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was on my way here to complain about how it seemed like we were losing by a little more every batter.

Take that, Stammen, you fuckface

I'm totally fine with him holding in that grounder.

The bunt he should have scored. But is that his fault? He doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, doesn't the 3b coach need to yell something to indicate there is nobody covering 3rd so he can trail Villanueva down the line?

Nice to see someone get the big hit in one of deGrom's starts.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Only just noticed when SNY popped on the sad-departed-starter cam, but Clayton Richard is kind of a beautiful-looking dude, ain't he? Like, model-pretty.

Speaking of which... With the way HE's looking, and the insur-runs, we're riding Dutch Boy all the way home here, aren't we?

He looks like an overgrown little leaguer with that hat and No. 3.

I'd be shocked if he's not a Met someday as Fred and Jeff love their Wolverines

David Cone.

Yabbut those eyes and those Reckery features and those EYES, though.

[Guest 41Forever]

I like the brown uniforms!

[Edgy MD]

The second Kazhisa in big league history.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Same.

Also, I like submarines!

I see a bucktoothed 11 year old.

Hey, Go Lobatron

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Lobes salt-and-peppering like an overeager restaurant server tonight.

I like this color scheme too, muy Padre-esque.

[Edgy MD]

Thank you, San Diego Ballpark Architect.

[Edgy MD]

COCAINE IS FOR CLOSERS!

Harvey being Harvey

If the Mets need to go to another pitcher to bail his ass out of a 5-0 game I would offer him AAA or his release

Good to see Clint Howard getting work playing a ballplayer.

[nymr83]

Yes! Walk a batter in a 4 run game! Dumbass

[Edgy MD]

That ball-four breaking pitch was Rick-Ankiel-in-the-midst-of-his-breakdown bad.

It ain't about being dumb. He's losing a part of himself here.

[nymr83]

Let him go lose it in Port St Lucie or Vegas then

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Even the strikes are missing the target by a foot.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Over. Finalmente.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

[MFS62]

I hoping for a lot of blowout Mets victories so Harvey can work it out (whatever "it" is) and be productive again in some role.
