IGT 8/10/2018: NYM @ MIA -- Eight Ten Eighteen

[G-Fafif]

Two games separate the fifth-place Marlins from the fourth-place Mets. The stakes as this three-game weekend series begin couldn't be less compelling. Zack Wheeler will continue to build his case as the best second-half pitcher in the league. Jose Ureña will appreciate that I bothered with the tilde.

First pitch is when can you get there?

[Benjamin Grimm]

We'll always have April.

The crowd tonight will be small enough that you'll be able to hear individual fan conversations on the broadcast.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Oh it will be super quiet at the stadium tonight!

[G-Fafif]

It's almost too quiet at Marlins Park tonight.

[seawolf17]

The crowd *tonight* will be larger than last night, but still small enough that you'll be able to hear individual fan conversations on the broadcast.

Not understanding the Playboy post.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's a response to the post above it.

[Edgy MD]

I see. April is the key word.

I have problems reading while trying to scroll Playboy models off my screen at work.

WTF???? Why isn't Reyes in the lineup???

[Edgy MD]

Nobody positing tonight, but this is a pisser of a game. Two hits through six by Wheelie Dealie and the Mets actually playing with teamwork as they lead 4-0.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Wheeler! That's all I got...

[Frayed Knot]

Rut-Roh

[Edgy MD]

Answer, Mets!

[Edgy MD]

Come on, Plaw. Just bounce one up the middle.

[Edgy MD]

Or that!

The answer!

[ashie62]

Lookin good

Triple Happiness! Is that even a thing anymore?

Sure, it's anytime we get three or more hits in a game.

[smg58]

What happened to Blevins?

[Edgy MD]

He didn't get his man, hitting Dietrich with his first pitch, and was pulled.

[smg58]

OK thanks. I saw the boxscore line show one pitch and nothing else, and I was worried about a blown elbow.
