All the People Gather 5/1 IGT Reds @ Mets

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We are concerned. We are hope despite the times.

(this song starts off exactly like "Second Guessing")



I'm a little concerned about deGrom.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm concerned that the last two times through the rotation, Jason Vargas has pitched better than EITHER deGrom or Syndergaard.



Another bad outing by Jacob and they need to check under the hood.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

McNeil LF

Alonso 1B

Canó 2B

Conforto RF

J.D. Davis 3B

Nimmo CF

Rosario SS

Nido C

deGrom RHP

[bmfc1]

Familia to the DL. Ryan O'Rourke up.

[Edgy MD]

Well, there's a thing.



I have not yet been able to conform to the Alonso-batting-second thing, but after seeing him flailing through the evening yesterday when often all they needed was contact, I salute the contact he made to end the game.



I see Canó return to the lineup and I'm all, "Oh, yeah, him."

supposedly it's tentative, pending BP. Cano that is.

[Edgy MD]

I just tuned in here in the bottom of the second, an BOOM! first pitch is a strikeout looking by Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

On the other side of the ball, so far, so deGood. Three poifect innings.

[Edgy MD]

I don't want 2019 to be the year Nimmo got his head stuck in his ass.

[Fman99]

Familia is "hurt" with a "sore shoulder." Which I guess is what you call it when you suck for a week and need a little break. In other news, Puig is pouty.

[Frayed Knot]

A heavy workload for JdG in the 4th, but he got through it with a bases-loaded K

[LWFS]

Leaving a not-insignificant number of wet ducks on ponds here.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

643

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pretty hot.

[LWFS]

Seven scoreless, likely done.

Well met, for cold-and-wet.

Zimmo's problem is that he's too happy, walking around the city with his hot wife and his tiny sweater-wearing dog like their jobs are to be Instagram influencers for Christ. He needs to be miserable like the rest of us.

Well, that and shitty ABs in key situations. Like that one!



May not be that fleet a runner, but why isn't Davis taking third on that one? It seemed pretty evident that was dropping, no?

Yeah, how dare he, seriously.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

O'Rourke gets Votto looking. Joey Votto is awesome but isn't playing real well

[Chad ochoseis]

Way to go, O'Rourke. Now someone get that man a real uni number.

[LWFS]

O'Rourke has some appealing herky-jerky to his motion, don't he?



Edit. note: HA! Keith and I think alike.

[Frayed Knot]

East side, west side all around the town

The Cincy bats are stifled, Joey Votto's sitting down

deGrom's been perfect starting, then hands off to Ryan O'Rourke

When the Mets win we'll going dancing on the sidewalks of New York

[LWFS]

Saved by McNeil with the hippy-hippy shake action in left

[Edgy MD]

deGrom in 2018 form.



And the offense that backs him is ... in 2018 form.

[kcmets]

I have an idea, let's hit it to the pitcher and see if can handle it...

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Hughes is making a lot of plays.



1-3: The scoring notation that made Little League famous.

[LWFS]

FYI: Zach Duke's WHIP is higher than Familia's at present.



Or, at least, it was before that inning.

[LWFS]

"Coño," indeed.

[bmfc1]

Fucking Diaz. 3 outs, not 2.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I can't believe how much Edwin Diaz hates REM album cuts.
