IGT 5/5/2018: COL@NYM -- Sucko De Mayo

[G-Fafif]

I blame Matz for the current four-game skid. His tight back pushed everybody up a day and every game has been lost since his turn was skipped. So make it up to us, Steven. I always thought you rode everybody else's coattails into the alleged dream rotation.

Chad Bettis pitches for the Rockies. Clearly, fuck Chad Bettis.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm with you, Holmes. the only benefit of Matz back afaic was that I didn't have to watch him on Tuesday. he's hurtling toward The Harvey Solution.

[Centerfield]

Trying to find some positives here.

Hey at least it’s not Vargas!

[Edgy MD]

I'm hoping that Matz has the advantage of not confusing bullshit bravado with confidence, and is therefore a little more willing to step back and make the adjustments he has to make.

[Centerfield]

Yeah. With Matz I feel like he’s high strung and really tough on himself but not a dickhead.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo CF
Céspedes LF
Cabrera 2B
Bruce RF
Frazier 3B
González 1B
Nido C
Matz LHP
Rosario SS

I predict a win with an inflated margin of victory.

Just the thought of this has me all inflated.

[Edgy MD]

No, guys, I DO want to take away Rosario's aggressiveness.

[Edgy MD]

Charlie Blackmon: Not a genius.

[Edgy MD]

And Nimmo proves it.

[Edgy MD]

You guys are missing Nimmo's best game of the year.

[Chad ochoseis]

He looked so happy running off the field. That kid is the puppy dog I never had, if the puppy dog had the potential to hit .310 and steal 25 bases per year.

[nymr83]

another fucking donut from the offense tonight i see

[Edgy MD]

Mets actually out-hitting the opposition.

[Edgy MD]

Marc Carig reports that the Mets are winning handily.

[Edgy MD]

Nice hit, Wilmer.

Could've kept you and Sewald in the game if we double switched out Frazier.

[Fman99]

Encouraging work for Matzie tonight. Maybe it's day 2 of the new positive clubhouse vibe kicking in.

[Gwreck]

At the game. Early hook for Matz didn’t make any sense; he was cruising through 6 and had <90 pitches.

[Fman99]

Bad tag by Cabrera, should have had him at 2nd there.

[ashie62]

Matz was super

The rest of the team not so much

[Gwreck]

Two recent in-game developments that are incredibly stupid:
Asking the umpires for a “hold.” Just challenge the call or don’t.
The phantom intentional walk.

[Edgy MD]

Yup and yup.

Great pitched game. Let's get a little support for those arms.

They're bringing in a reliever with the number 0. That's blasphemy, no?

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm trying to remember the last player to wear zero whose name didn't begin with O, and I'm drawing a blank.

[Gwreck]

Cespedes wants to steal third pretty badly.

[Gwreck]

Also incredibly stupid: allowing extra challenges when the manager has no challenges.

[Edgy MD]

You used your review, Roxx!!

[Edgy MD]

With the pitcher up fourth, Conforto may end up getting a crack at redemption.

[Fman99]

Can these guys score some damn runs, please?

[Guest 41Forever]

May be time to DFA Gonzalez, too.
