IGT 9/4/19 Get the Hell Away Game

[Edgy MD]

Oh, fuck me, they're talking about Jeter and his mythological dive, actually suggesting that it wasn't an event, but it happened regularly.

[Centerfield]

Top of the lineup. Need to score about 50.

[HahnSolo]

Well Pete does his part. # 45.

[Guest 41Forever]

Pete-kaboom!!



I miss the old kaboom graphics. I'll reach out to our old friend and see if I can lure him back into the pool.



Pete now leads the majors, and is seven away from wiping the MFY taint off the current record.

[Edgy MD]

Wheeler isn't playing flat, anyhow.

[Frayed Knot]

McNeil's day so far: 3U, 3U, 3U

Despite his two (seeming big at the time) hits yesterday, he's been rolling over a ton of pitches lately. Haven't seen that all

year from him until now, or for his career for that matter (although season & career are essentially the same thing w/him).

[Frayed Knot]

A quickie inning from Wheels, so he's now only about an inning behind a pace you'd like to see (7 innings worth of pitches thru 6) instead of two or more

behind like he was earlier in the game. That's tough to do and somehow manage to hold the opposition to just one run.

[bmfc1]

So far, YouTube has interview Scherzer, the WSH Manager and now the WSH GM. Enough already!

[Edgy MD]

"And now we're happy to have Pauly Shore in the booth with us. Pauly, what do you look for in a leadoff hitter?"

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Looks like we're gonna fake sweep these guys

[Edgy MD]

A two-run single by Rosario, and we're talking Moneyball with Mike Rizzo.



Then the Mets inning continues and we get sketch comedy.

[Frayed Knot]

6-1, runner on 2nd, still no one out ... we got an outside shot at winning this one, or at least forcing it into extra innings.

[G-Fafif]

No lead is safe in park with Mets relievers in it.

[Edgy MD]

Who else was hoping we'd get an extended Jim Abbott feature that inning?

[kcmets]

Gmta, I was just going to opine on the very same thing!

[Frayed Knot]

It takes the occasional adjustment to keep the WCBS audio (via mlb.com) synched up with the YouTube video ... but the results are well worth it.

[bmfc1]

Look, Familia is being terrible--who would have guessed? I'd use Mazza ahead of him. Is Mickey trying to get fired?

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, let's walk the bottom of the order on base in front of the top of the order guys!!!!



In addition to Diaz's HR rate, which I mention earlier, Familia's BB rate is more than double this season as compared to last (7.3/9 vs 3.5)

[bmfc1]

If Mickey wanted to get fired, putting in Familia today after the way he pitched on Sunday is the way to go.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Go, Juerys

Ahem.

I don't even believe in mojo anymore, there is nothing I can do or say that's going to impact how badly we screw up

[Frayed Knot]

Six batters faced, two retired.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Better to fail in the bullpen earlier, because that gives them time to get the runs back?

[Guest 41Forever]

I'll say this about Familia. He's consistent.

[Edgy MD]

Lugo for the seventh.



I shit you not, I think, if he can't finish the game, the next out of the bullpen is Syndergaard. Should be, anyhow.

[Centerfield]

Or 58 year old Jesse Orosco. I'm willing to roll the dice.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets have always hit Fernando Rodney.

[86dreamer]

Wilson next, no?

[Edgy MD]

Next is hopefully getting Wilson Ramos a hit.
