IGT 7/3/2018: NYM@TOR -- It's A Beauty Way To Go

[G-Fafif]

Mets take their winning ways global, or at least to Canada Tuesday night. Zack Wheel' keeps on turnin', hot team keeps on burnin'.

Not having had a second consecutive IGT to start since mid-April, I am absolutely giddy.

[Chad ochoseis]

This guy's absolutely Geddy.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Always happy to segue into some Rush...

[Frayed Knot]

Geddy can often be seen in the seats directly behind home plate at Blue Jays games - so keep your eyes peeled this week.

[MFS62]

I used to like Toronto.
Not any more.
The Maple Leafs signed Tavares away from the Islanders.
Let's Go Mets!

Later

[Edgy MD]

Justine Ward is filling in as sideline reporter for this game. Tweet at her and maybe she'll get an interview with Geddy Lee!

[Vic Sage]

Aren't we at war with Canada, or something?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, we're working on it!

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo, pointing up to the CN Tower CF
Bautista, where he once reigned RF
Cabrera, gutting it out as always 2B
Conforto, trying to get the feeling again LF
Flores, playing a position that shouldn't even exist DH
Frazier, wondering what to do with all those t-shirts 3B
Smith, about to write the...WRIST of the story 1B
Mesoraco, putting down fingers and trying not to get his head whacked C
Rosario, learning the pleasures of a simple walk SS

Wheeler shall pitch if not bat

Anyone here got a problem with Trump jokes in the baseball forum? Speak up.

[Lefty Specialist]

Maybe they can leave Jose Reyes there when they go?

[Guest d'Kong76]

A few choice passports and id's disappearing could conveniently slow down
the return of a few players...

The Tigers had something like an 11-game losing streak, then beat the Jays twice. Jays are not going to be happy.

[Zvon]

2-0 already! Jays pitcher removed due to some kind of injury.

Ronnie: Good look, Justine.

Justine: Tell it to HR, old man.

Sweet play by Bautista.

Ronnie: If you remember last year, Cabrera was the guy who was going to be moved to first, and he was never moved at all.

Edgy: WtF are you talking about?

[Edgy MD]

Conforto cracking a double-play into the shift while they were giving him the whole left side of the infield.

[Zvon]

After the Nimmo bunt (foul) I was hoping we'd see more moves against the shift. Guess not.

[Edgy MD]

I missed that. Did the defense adjust after the foul bunt?

Rosario showing sharper instincts is nice to see.

[Edgy MD]

STRAIGHTAWAY WILMER!!

[Frayed Knot]

Bring in a pitcher and we'll hit a HR off him.
3 outta 3 so far.

Nope. Kept with the shift.

WOWZERS!

[Edgy MD]

Ronnie: Remember when you were a kid and couldn't dunk?

Edgy: I, uh ... still can't dunk, Ronnie. Can you?

[Edgy MD]

Great call, Umpy.

Thanks for burning that challenge, Jays.

[Edgy MD]

Bautista turned viciously on three pitches before walking there.

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see Toronto on their third pitcher with one out in the fifth.

Not so nice to see the Mets turn around and give them an out on the basepaths.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't see Geddy.

[Edgy MD]

Second double for Dominic Smitty. Take that, you shifty shift!
