IGT April 1 2019 NYM @ MIA

[Fman99]

I believe I kicked off the hot April streak last year. Let me see if I can find that same magic. Steven Matz against some shit-ass Florida pitcher, 7:10 PM start.



I do love me some weeknight baseball. Kicks off right when we're finishing dinner and lasts until bedtime.

Let's Go Matz! Show us whatcha got, Matzie, or else Lunchie's gonna be up your ass all season long.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah, he's inherited all the pent-up hate I used to have for Harvey.



This is a relatively recent development in my evolving fandom, hating on a particular guy like this. It's not really me. I mean, I wanna see Matz do well. It's just, he gets more credit for good and less scrutiny for bad, than just about anyone. So I feel like I have to support the underdogs, the Scrutinizers.

Steven Matz sucks

[Fman99]

Well he's settled in. I feel like the Marlins should lose every game 18-1 based on their "lineup."

OK, Davis's throwing is a bit of a concern.

Both on his lob throws on potential DP balls to 2nd (twice now) and also on his harder throw across the diamond, he just doesn't seem CAHNfident that the ball is going to end up where it needs to go.

[Zvon]

2-2 in the 5th.

ugh come on McNeil, put the damn thing in play at least!

[LWFS]

That kid's breaking ball, though.

[LWFS]

Davis' yips seem to be multiplying. I REALLY hope that non-DP doesn't cost Matz, as most extra baserunners seem to end up doing.

[LWFS]

Goddammit, Davis.

[Methead]

Might have to flip a table if he's in the lineup tomorrow



Or if he's still in there in the 7th

[Frayed Knot]

The guy who scored the go-ahead and potential winning run should have been out twice before he ever reached home; once at 1st and then again at 3rd

[LWFS]

JOHNNY LAGS

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lagares going oppo yard was somehow more surprising than Davis' yips

[Frayed Knot]

Two more NYM HRs and we'll tie Yelich and Goldschimdt (pending their games tonight)

[Frayed Knot]

The Marlins should try a nine-pitchers/nine-innings strategy, cuz all we do facing pitchers for the 1st time is go down on 3 Ks

Whatever, man. I'm bullish on angry, motivated Lagares.

I was mentally lamenting, right up until he hit it, how much the absence of J.D. Lowrie is an infliction of Lagares at bats on us this season.

[LWFS]

Grandy sighting.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Let's get Petey the win he deserves

[LWFS]

Surprisingly effective Petey.



I would've been happier, I think, if they'd kept McNeil in at 2B and double-switched Cano out.

[nymr83]

Davis redemption, fighting to get that walk!

[LWFS]

Conley has no chill. No swings, gents!

Dammit, Willy

fucking lucky ass marlins. that was Jeter-esque defense right there - in the right place by accident!
