IGT 05/27 - NYM at LAD - Game 1 NLCS Preview

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Bases loaded for Davis....

[Edgy MD]

I'd have been tempted to send Nido home there.



Temptation is dangerous.

[Frayed Knot]

Well now this is starting to get interesting.

Now all we have to do is rake the shit out of Kenley

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh, hell, 3rd out at 3rd base

[Frayed Knot]

You gotta be kidding me!!!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Outs on the bases plus a shitty bullpen

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Conforto left holding his stick so to speak

[Edgy MD]

That's twice tonight a Met got tagged out advancing when he arrived before the tag, but had his limb in the airspace over the bag, rather than touching it.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Dom Smith in the outfield!! They can't fail now!

[Frayed Knot]

Four perfect throws -- two by Bellinger plus the two-person relay from LF -- have really screwed up this game.

And maybe only Gomez's try for 3rd was a 'bad send', and even then one could argue that the throw from Bellinger, possibly allowing the tying run to get to 2nd, was the even worse idea.



Then toss in a GiDP by Lagares and we've made LAD pitchers retire just 20 batters to get through 8 innings.

[Frayed Knot]

ANNNNND, it was the fear of Bellinger's arm which kept Nido on 3rd on Rosario's hit in the prior AB.

Even with slow runners, it's rare to see a runner NOT score from 2nd when the corner OF has to move sideways to field the hit.

[Edgy MD]

Yup. Bellinger is winning the game by both his actions and his mere presence.



As the score hit 9-5, the organ player broke out into a rendition of "9-to-5."

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Alonso didn't get throw out at 3rd so, y'know, there's that.





Taylor pulled a 'Steve Finley' on that one; he stubbed his shoulders trying to jump.

[Edgy MD]

Frazier is in the bucket against Jansen.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Well let's get back to.500 tomorrow

[Fman99]

Turned it off at 6-3, saw a bit later that it was 8-3 and didn't look back. Nice that they made it interesting but that's not going to do it for me, not with 10:10 first pitches for the next week+.
