IGT 5/25: House of Monk 2: Electric Boogaloo @ MIL 8:10pm ET

[seawolf17]

Noah Syndergaard (16-0, 0.56) vs Junior Guerra (who cares)

Syndergaard struck out eleven guys -- incredibly, all wearing uniform number 42 -- in his start vs Milwaukee in April: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=26836

Guerra has faced the Mets twice. Gave up one Yo HR in a no-decision in 2016, and pitched six shutout innings for a W in a game last year at Citi.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nice diving catch by Nommo in LF. A catch that Cepedes, Bruce, and likely Conforto can't make. He gets on base, brings some speed to the line up, is a better defender than most of our outfielders, what does he have to do to get regular playing time once Cespedes is back?

[bmfc1]

I have complete confidence that Jay Bruce will become good as soon as Sandy trades him to Houston this July.

[Frayed Knot]

Odd game for Noah so far in that he's got a high hit count yet a low pitch count.
Usually it's been the other way around his year for NYM hurlers.

[Edgy MD]

Made Aguilar look like an amateur.

[Edgy MD]

Uh-oh. Hader's gonna hade.

[nymr83]

Ball 4! best Jose on the team!

[Edgy MD]

Half of me wants Reyes to bunt, even though there's two outs.

The other half says Reyes has as much a chance against this guy as anybody. Hit a homer.

[Edgy MD]

flegh

[nymr83]

i like the bunt plan, probably Reyes' best chance to get on base right now.

[Guest cooby]

Gonna be fine

[Edgy MD]

When Nimmo is chasing you out of the strike zone, you're deceiving people.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Nice call early in yesterday's IGT by abn-seo on this Hader dude.

[bmfc1]

Mickey is getting destroyed on Twitter, by writers and fans alike, for pinch-hitting Reyes when Noah had a low pitch count, the Mets have a lot of games coming up (including a DH on Monday where they do not have a SP for game 2) and it's not like Reyes had a great chance of getting hit off Hader (or mostly anyone).

[nymr83]

JOSE! (THE GOOD ONE)

[bmfc1]

I liked Frazier emploring Bautista to do the salt and pepper thing. Way to go Jose!

[Fman99]

Big hit!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

JOEY BATS

Knebel's not just missing spots... he's missing them by a foot or two.

[Guest 41Forever]

B it hit. I like Bautista so far!

[nymr83]

Way to fight through that AB Guilloirme!

[Guest 41Forever]

I like Luis, too!

Let's go, Mets!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

GODDAMMIT. Vaya con dios, Corey.

Rosario in a situation where the pitcher has to throw strikes seems like a good deal, no?

[bmfc1]

Impressive at-bat from Guillorme. For a rookie to keep fighting off pitches and then have the discipline to not swing on ball 4 was a very good sign.

I disagree with the haters vis-a-vis PH'ing against Hader
In what may have been their last best chance to tie up the game, did these folks really want their lefty-swinging, .185-career-hitting, star pitcher in there with two outs vs that 95-throwing lefty monster?
Not me.

Rats.

[bmfc1]

In contrast, Rosario swings wildly at ball 2. He would have been ahead on the count 2-0. Dammit.

[Frayed Knot]

We fans tend to only recognize it when it happens against our teams -- ie. Familia two nights ago -- but one run saves are blown more than 20% of the time and tonight it was Mr. Rebel Knebel adding to those stats.

[Edgy MD]

Gsellie isn't smellie.
