W. Pleasure: Game 1 twinbill IGT Action 9/12/18

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wheelman starts Game 1 (4 p.m.) vs I never heard of the guy Trevor Richards who is a strikeout pitcher who doesn't do much else good.

It's been a weird second half in that I always feel confident going into a Wheeler game, and always feel wary going into a deGrom game.

Hoping Wheeler doesn't run into an early rain delay

[Vic Sage]

Reyes. really? WHY??

[Edgy MD]

It's a doubleheader. Evahbody plays.

I understand that even Terry Malloy is going to be available out of the bullpen in game 2

[ashie62]

double rainout?

[Guest d'Kong76]

2 1/2 hours, might as well call it. Forecast isn't exactly promising.

[Guest d'Kong76]

9:45 woo hoo!

[Frayed Knot]

Just one game I'm assuming?
And I won't make it through the one anyway.

They didn't say on the blurb I saw. Wonder if all the stadium personnel
get paid for waiting out a real long rain delay. Or *gasp*, get overtime if
this is a long one. Could cut into the off-season budget.

[Frayed Knot]

It's officially one game now, but it's stunning that it took them until nearly 10 PM before they made that official.
Were they really thinking that starting a game at One AM-ish was a possibility?!?

Reyes. Really.

[Edgy MD]

Smith, Nido, McNeil, Reyes — this rally is all full of Mets of the future.

[Centerfield]

What a bomb by Rosario.

Everyone dye their hair blonde.

[Frayed Knot]

Wheeler = 57 pitches thru 6 innings.
Now I realize this game is being played under different circumstances than many, but 57 pitches is known as the top of the 2nd when Matz is on the mound.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The better Wheeler gets the worse Matz looks, yeah?

I swear the way to make this team kick ass is to go out and sign a guy who'll make deGrom and Wheeler and Syndy work to prove they're better. Trade Matz for the catcher you need, or give him the Gselleman treatment and put him in the pen.

[Edgy MD]

Delightfully lazy defense being played by the Miami Mattinglys tonight.

[Edgy MD]

I thought that ball was caught.

[Edgy MD]

[Edgy MD]

How about Smitty? He has power in Kweenz but not in Vegas.

[Guest 41Forever]

Everybody getting bombs tonight! We play better after 5 hour delays.

[Edgy MD]

G'night, babies.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Is there going to be a game 2 tonight?
