IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

[G-Fafif]

We count on Jake to take us to the airport in style and lead us to the first win of the Jose Bautista Era. His mound opponent will be Dan Straily.

[Centerfield]

We win this one in a laugher. 14-0.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo LF
Cabrera 2B
Conforto CF
Bruce RF
Mesoraco C
Gonzalez 1B
Guillorme 3B
deGrom P
Rosario SS

[Edgy MD]

I get the notion that, if Conforto can get some consistent traction, we might have a lineup start to develop around him.

Mick seems to be living by the same hope.

[G-Fafif]

In games in which Conforto and Rosario record at least two hits apiece this year, the Mets are 1-0.

In game in which Conforto and Rosairo record at least one hit apiece AND one of them records at least two hits, the Mets are 3-0.

Bottom line: Conforto and Rosario haven't hit much in the same game this year.

[Frayed Knot]

Kerwin Dantley (behind the plate tonight) being a crew chief can't do wonders for Angel Hernandez's lawsuit claim that he's only being kept from being a crew chief due to racism.

[Lefty Specialist]

So, I'm thinking that 14 runs is not in the cards tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Dang, Straily looks hittable.

Nimmo did everything right, but nobiddy's plated him.

[Centerfield]

Yeah. You might be right.

[Edgy MD]

And good for you, Bour.

Lolligagging to first base by Bruce costs him a 2B. #sad

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Castro and the shift robbed Mesoraco of a hit on that shot up the middle.

He's not on base very often, so he may have forgotten.

[Lefty Specialist]

I love Jacob deGrom and his balls of steel.

[Edgy MD]

I want to sign him to an extension between pitches.

[Lefty Specialist]

Zimmoboom! Only 13 runs to go!

[Centerfield]

I heart Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, he's good.

[Edgy MD]

Damn, he's the best.

[Edgy MD]

I like how Nimmo seems to be catching the last out every inning.

[Guest 41Forever]

We should give Ramos the night off. Please. He's worked hard.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Another great outing by Jacob DeGrom. Even though he was struggling a little with his location, he was able to throw quality pitches to get the key outs when he needed to. With this outing, DeGrom is now the NL leader in ERA.

[Guest 41Forever]

Zimmo on fire!

[Edgy MD]

And he smashes it the other way against the lefty.

[Lefty Specialist]

Um, not comfortable with Familia in a 1-0 game. Maybe it's just me.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Strap yourself in. We're heading to the top of the 9th with a 1-0 lead and Familia on to try to close it out.

[Guest 41Forever]

One!!!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nice play by Gonzalez. Familia failed to cover 1st, which forced Gonzalez to hustle in order to beat Brinson to first.

[Fman99]

I have nervous now. I'm also having issues casting to my TV (I don't get WPIX) which means I am streaming it on my laptop, over there -------> and reading the CPF over here <------------.

[Fman99]

Christ. Ball is dead center of the plate that he hit.
