IGT 05/29 - Mets @ Dodgers

[kcmets]

I dunno, maybe I should wait until the first inning starts?



NYM (27‑27) Noah Syndergaard (RHP, 3-4, 4.93)

LAD (36‑19) Walker Buehler (RHP, 5-1, 3.58)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Syndy needs to come off my shit list. I can;t believe I'm saying this but he needs to be more like Matz

[batmagadanleadoff]

Syndergaard's starting to remind me a little bit of Nolan Ryan. Thor's not struggling as much as Ryan did early in his career but I'm starting to wonder if Syndergaard's ever gonna have that dominant unhittable season or seasons that everyone was sure he would've had already, and if he ever does have those seasons, whether they'll happen in a Mets uniform.

[Edgy MD]

So much goodness.



Please shine tonight, Smitty.

[Frayed Knot]

Be nice if we could snag this one, whether because of Syndy or despite him, cuz the matchup for tomorrow sure doesn't favor our cause.

[Edgy MD]

Dom is da bom.

[Edgy MD]

PETE IS THE MEAT.

[nymr83]

Alonso drives in Smith! they can play together!

[Guest 41Forever]

I love Pete Alonso. And now we can start voting to get him in the All-Star Game starting lineup!

[nymr83]

Noah!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Get your shit together, Synderpaants

Oh my God! It's like the best starting pitcher in baseball against the worst.

[Frayed Knot]

Would have been nice if Hecchavarria had still been on base to score via Syndergaard's hit.

Not sure that his 'suicide run' towards 3rd was necessary, particularly with only one out, but I suppose that after Monday night's running debacles, he just wanted to make sure.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We can't give this lead up, but we've given that lead up

[Frayed Knot]

This game is like a blueprint for Noah's whole season: pitches get fouled off forever, but not swung through, until one finally goes fair and finds a hole somewhere.

And then if there are runners on the whole situation gets even worse.



It's obvious that he's missing that killer slider but there also seems to be a degree of bad luck involved. Aside from the pop-ups/high-flies tonight, I think every ball they've hit

tonight (except for maybe one right at Conforto) has found some grass and whether those balls are hit hard or not seems irrelevant.

[Frayed Knot]

In the meantime, the odds of this game ending prior to 2 AM EDT are dropping rapidly.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alonso is turning out to be pretty good

[Edgy MD]

And how about that Smithlonso combo?

[nymr83]

I havent been to Citi yet this year, MVP chants for Alonso yet?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gomez screws up the catch at the wall but cuts down Seager at 3B!

[Edgy MD]

Go-Go didn't know where the wall was. But he knew where third base was.

[Frayed Knot]

'How many times do you see it, where the guy who makes a great tag to end the inning leads off the next half?'

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hechavarria > Cano

[Edgy MD]

116 pitches. No big whoop.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Rosey

[LWFS]

Rose tattoo, more like it.



That wasn't a terrible pitch he hit.
