IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

[ashie62]

Lets make easy work of this Noah!



Rosario is becoming an SS offensive weapon

[ashie62]

Rosario SS

J.D. Davis LF

Alonso 1B

Conforto RF

Frazier DH

Lagares CF

Panik 2B

Nido C

Tejada 3B



Miggy!!

[Edgy MD]

I guess when he's playing third, he's Miggier than usual, but I expect him to be more Reubenesque than anything.

[ashie62]

I've been been known to conflate names. Never got Plawecki correct



Ruben!!

[Edgy MD]

Wait, Cohen isn't back?

[kcmets]

Has entire series off.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Gary Apple, it was Hendrix that played the national anthem. Come on, Keith. Lay him out for that.

[Edgy MD]

Let's overturn this baby.

[Edgy MD]

I think the only controversy here is which base Davis is on.

[Edgy MD]

I would've given Davis third base, but it can go either way.

[Methead]

well, better than being in the dugout

[Methead]

and Davis is awarded home plate!

[Edgy MD]

And the Mets take the lead either way.



(I think Davis took off as soon as the ball got loose. He was exploiting the drop, not Merrifield's inaction in pursuing it.)

He sounds like someone who actually didn't know that (rather than just conflated them for some reason) but is spouting "facts" in order to make himself sound knowledgable on the subject.

But either way, keeping track of G Apple's mistakes just so far in this game will take a spreadsheet.

That's American history. How does nobody in the booth let him know?

[Chad ochoseis]

And like clockwork, he gives a shout-out to the Mets fans who have come to Atlanta for the game.



Though, credit where due, he corrected himself.

[Frayed Knot]

End of 4 innings and we're just over one hour into the game.

At this point in last night's game they had barely reached the top of the 2nd.

I suspect it's because they'd rather pretend it didn't happen than bring it up and further embarrass the substitute teacher when half the students are already making fun of him.

[Edgy MD]

Tejada getting that AAAA-player disrespect from the ump.

[Methead]

These pitches aren't missing, come on

[Frayed Knot]

Keeping our DP roll going -- Three DPs last night (one in the air, two on the ground) and now three more already tonight (one in the air, two on the ground) -- which, not surprisingly, results in

our large on-base advantage [5 hits + 1 BB + 1 HBP + 1 Reached on Error --vs-- 1 hit + 1 BB] translating into only a small edge on the scoreboard.

[Edgy MD]

Our play-by-play guy is out, and our sideline reporter too.

[Edgy MD]

Did Nido just whiff on the catch on the play at the plate?

[Edgy MD]

Bottom of the order puts the Shmoyals ahead.

[Frayed Knot]

The 'Pine Tar Rag', was that Scott Joplin?

Probably so seeing as how they're in Missouri

I thought so, I know it's hard sometimes but get a piece of mitt on it at least.

[Methead]

I'm pretty sure "Stolen Pillows" was the working title for Frampton's "I'm In You"

[Edgy MD]

Is Gordon like the last guy from the 2015 Champ Royals?

[Edgy MD]

Whenever Apple says it should be two, it isn't two.
