IGT 6/24/18: LAD @ NYM: Brian Kenny's Dream Comes True

[Zvon]

Nimmo HBP. Looked like it hurt bad, but he stayed in. Eventually left game for X-Rays.

[Zvon]

X-Rays negative.

[bmfc1]

Season negative.

Way to lefty/righty Mickey. How about plunking one of the Dodgers for Nimmo getting drilled 3X?

[Zvon]

Bullpen cart sighting!

I can only assume that Callaway actually WANTS to lose his job.

[bmfc1]

Swarzak, Bruce... Sandy had quite an off-season!

[Guest 41Forever]

This is getting pretty ugly.

[Zvon]

6 bombs for L.A. today, a new Citi Field record.

[Zvon]

Swarzak: 6 hits in 8 at bats and he's still in there.
Pregame Mickey said "all hands on deck". WTF?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Fred's gonna try and sign Ichiro any day now.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Erik Goeddel's pitching the best ball of his major league career. After he gets as far away from the Mets as is possible. Why am I not surprised?

[Guest 41Forever]

WOW!!! Plawecki ties it with a three-run bomb!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Same old Goeddel.

[Zvon]

PLAW TIES IT WITH A 3 RUN BOMB!!!

Left unmentioned by Gary when discussing 6 HR games at former NYM homes was that the one by the Yanx in '99 at Shea was a Met win, it was the 'Matt Franco Game'

HRs by Paul O'Neill (off Rick Reed, 1st inn) and (Greg McMichael, 6th inn)' Ricky Ledee (Rick Reed, 5th inn);
Jorge Posada (Dennis Cook, 8th inn & Rick Reed, 5th inn); Chuck Knoblauch (Rigo Beltran, 7th inn).


Final score: Mets 9 - Yanx 8

That's two Matt Franco references today (this plus the latest at Faith and Fear). Kurt Russell would be pleased.

[Guest 41Forever]

Familia gets around a lead-off walk, and we've got the big guns coming up.

[Guest 41Forever]

Frazier gets on! Let's bring him around!

[Guest 41Forever]

I like Drew Smith!

That was surprisingly nice.

[Guest 41Forever]

Aaaaand there goes the ballgame. And to freaking Justin Turner, too.

[Guest 41Forever]

Well, that was disappointing.

[bmfc1]

And with that, my day as a spot-IGT starter has ended so I will join Chris Flexen and return to AAA.

[Zvon]

Oy.

[Zvon]

Watch Callaway's post game talk. Mickey is developing nervous ticks.

Is a player in the batting box is considered "in scoring position"?
He was today.
Later.

If you meant that as "tick tock the firing countdown clock is ticking" that was a very good one. I salute you.
If you didn't and just misspelled tic, it was funny anyhow.

Yanx also lost on an extra-inning HR today (12 inn) which also completed a three-game sweep (Tampa) ... so, y'know, there's that.
