IGT 4/29 Reds v Mets Zack Tanner

[ashie62]

Reds have shown some life thus far but Tanner Roark does not scare me.



Zack should scare them



Who plays 2b and does Alonso hit third.



LGM

[Edgy MD]

I'd be highly surprised if anybody not named "McNeil" is playing second.

Cano MRI negative, just swollen.

[ashie62]

Great on Cano. Lowrie playing rehab games



Alonso 2nd Nimmo 3rd

[bmfc1]

Is there anyone else to DFA?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Cracklin', Rosey

[Edgy MD]

And the wheels of Ramos.

[LWFS]

Did I just have a stroke, or did a Lou Brock graphic with musical stinger just pop on the screen?

[Edgy MD]

It's been happening since last year. Every time Keef brings up Lou, the booth triggers the graphic.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is a big moment.bases loaded 2 out 3-0 pitch

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ball 4

[Edgy MD]

Alonso with the bags juiced and I keep picturing Batting Stance Guy.



BALL FOUR! One-run game.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ball 4 again

McNeil should have been breaking there. Lefty pitcher. Shift on Conforto. He should be halfway home at the start of the pitch.

You know what would stop these silly hair-splitting challenges: you get it wrong and you lose your challenge for the next game

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lorenzen didn't Homer, but got down the line and made that a play

[Edgy MD]

Sometimes I forget how much Keith loves guys adding to their RBI totals.

That might be over-engineering.



Only allow challenges to be made on the field and immediately, give the umps Bluetooth headsets, and the world is much more in alignment.

[Edgy MD]

Go, Laggy!!!



Votto is so consistently terrific. It's surprising that he's only won one MVP.

Sure. But that play was a virtual and obvious tie at best, so the idea that the game gets stopped, for how ever long it gets stopped, so that the umps can decide a coin flip isn't within a Pete Alonso HR

of what the rule was intended to "correct".

If only this kind of silliness could have been foreseen prior to employing the rule!

[Edgy MD]

Frazier went down looking at a neck-high fastball. That's some weird umping.

[Edgy MD]

Let Lugo keep going, man.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that was a very Frazier inning.

[Guest 41Forever]

Wow, I thought we were toast there.

[Edgy MD]

I don't know what is going to happen here, but I'm pretty over the moon that McNeil is putting teams in the position of walking him to get to Alonso.

[Edgy MD]

Pete's got to stay a little more within himself in situations like that.
