IGT Twins at Mets 4/9

[ashie62]

Twins are believed to be improved but they will have to get past deGrom here

I'll be in 537 if anyone is around.

That lede leaves a lot of weird subtext out there: .@Pete_Alonso20 looks to keep impressing. The others could scarcely be bothered to give a fuck.



Besides, shouldn't deGrom be the lede in any game he's pitching these days? He's within sneezing distance of displacing Max Scherzer as the http://www.billjamesonline.com/polls_ratings/starting_pitcher_rankings/top-ranked pitcher in baseball.

When did Ronnie get the nerdy hipster glasses?

Twitter intern has Alonso on their five fantasy teams, not deGrom?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

deGrom needs to shave his lame beard, stop posing for bobbleheads, living large on his no-trade contract AND GET THE TWINS OUT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE 😬😬😬

[Edgy MD]

I hate the juts of the stands down the foul lines. Ballz down the line should roll toward the corner.



Every time a ball ricochets off the jut in front of the outfielder, I feel like they're playing at Yankee Stadium.

[Edgy MD]

That first pitch to McNeilie was right in his wheelhouse. The next was an inch further in and he ripped it over the bag.



Keep pitching him down and in.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Looks like you n me tonight, Rosie

[Edgy MD]

deGrom grounds out to first to end the rally, but he really looks like he knows what he's doing at the plate.

[kcmets]

Knotted at a buck apiece through two. Two that took almost an hour.

Vintage Tuesday Night Mets

DeGrom.just.not.sharp.tpnight.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is a Twin killing

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Um

[Methead]

Yikes. Hold me.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

ZimmO!

[kcmets]

Nimmo says fuck yaaa!

[Methead]

Sure is nice to see him starting to sort things out.

[Chad ochoseis]

Everyone who bet that DeGrom gets knocked out after three and Nimmo homers, collect your winnings now.

[nymr83]

who the fuck is Garver??

[nymr83]

last year deGrom was losing 1-0, maybe thid year he can win some 6-5 games!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

So, Rocco Baldelli is the Twins manager. I needed to know this enemy more.

[Methead]

Crap.



Also - I like the orange dot on the top of the cap, but the little orange sticker on top of the batting helmet infuriates me. I have issues.

who the fuck is Garver??

I suspect Gary didn't even know he was making a pun when he talked about the Twins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%27s_laws_of_planetary_motionputting Kepler in motion.

I bet he did, and was saving that one from the time he saw the name on their roster during his pre-series research. I know in my heart that he got the idea of pre-series study from reading our KTE* threads.



Later



* = WTF ever happened to those?

[Fman99]

This isn't going very well.

[Edgy MD]

A very LOBby night for McNeilio.
