Daytime IGT - 9/12/19 - Breakin' out the Brooms?

[Frayed Knot]

I'm on a hot streak here. My IGTs have won three straight which brings my season total of wins up to ... right about three I believe and ups my overall record to something like 5-147

I don't want to say that I'm usually bad luck but a couple of days ago a black cat went out of its way to avoid crossing my path.



First of all, good to see that we held on in last night's game. I cashed it in just prior to the 9th inning pretty well confident (at least 60/40) that we could protect that 9-0 lead.

1:10 start today. Marcus Stroman vs rookie Alex Young (sounds like an alias to me). Young actually ain't so young for a first-timer: turned 26 three days ago; another lefty thrower;

6' 2"/205; from Illinois via Texas Christian Univ in Fort Worth, TX; 2nd round draft pick by Arizona in 2015. Made his ML debut in late June: 13 games/12 starts; 7-3; 3.38; 1.05



And Stroman needs to win today, or at least pitch well enough for the team to do so, in order to prove that he doesn't hate America

Working from home today due to my busted ass vehicle being serviced. Watching me some baseball.

I'm about 95% sure the Diamondbacks generated Alex Young on their copy of MLB: The Show 2019 like, two weeks back.

The Mets face elimination in the National League East today.

[LWFS]

All of a sudden, it's POURING at Citi... which makes the shaky outfieldin' a little more understandable.

[Edgy MD]

This rain don't look too good. And presumably they're going to try play through anything.

[LWFS]

I mean, they kinda have to, right?



Score those runs early, boys.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Young completely destroyed Alonso. I'd never heard of him till 5 minutes ago.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Frazier getting hot is about the best thing that could happen to us.

[Edgy MD]

Our Todd is an awesome Todd.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Twas a cklassick Frazier HR, hit with one hand all ugly-like.



3 good frames from Stroman so far, which is more than he's had in any Mets appearance yet I think

[smg58]

Was McNeil not hot enough that he's sitting today?

[Lefty Specialist]

JD Davis. Clutch.

[seawolf17]

I like this new "good at baseball" version of Todd Frazier.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

They said something about a hammy for McNeil? Not clear it was new or reference to previous malady



Fraze too hot to pitch to anymore, takes a 2 out walk to load em up for Laggy

[seawolf17]

Lagares with a chance to make something amazing happen.



They should pinch-hit with, like, late-career Lenny Harris or something to Stroman-proof this game.

[Edgy MD]

Mets need to pinch-hit Pat Tabler.

Yeah, THAT'S the reference I should have used.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

SALAMI FOR ALL

[LWFS]

Well, that'll do, Johnny.

[Edgy MD]

F. Pat Tabler!



Good teams capitalize on errors.

[Methead]

That was maybe the highest note I've ever heard Gary hit

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Dbaggs are Fake News. Traded the ace in July and hung around till September. They had this beating coming.

[seawolf17]

His voice literally cracked.

[G-Fafif]

Lagares first home park home run since 9/7/2017.

Then, hey, why wasn't anybody talking about how the Dbaggs got back into the race by fattening up on the minnows and also-rans?







You know why?







AIN'T NOBODY TALKING BOUT NO DBAGGS, THASS WHY

Somewhere on a whiteboard in Brodie Van Wangenen's office, this
