IGT 8/4/2020: NYM @ WAS — Better Left Unthread?

[G-Fafif]

Mets losing going to the third.

[G-Fafif]

This is the 32nd time the Mets have taken on the previous season's defending world champs for the first time “the season after,“ starting with the 1964 Dodgers, running through the 2017 Cubs, and reaching, at last, the 2020 Nats.



The Mets are 16-15 in such situations entering tonight. Some incredibly memorable meetings along the way.

[bmfc1]

We always talk about the incompetence of CB Bucknor and Angel Hernandez but Laz Diaz should not be forgotten.

[bmfc1]

Matz is awful and the next GM needs to remove him regardless of his LI heritage.

See what happens when the wrong guy starts the IGT off of a win?

See what happens when NOBODY starts the IGT until the third?

Late to tuning in, first play Nido catcher-clueless on a foul silo shot at an out.

Confortoboom!

[LWFS]

Second of the year... and the second off a lefty, right?

[Fman99]

Kaboom! Conforto. Good guys on the board.

Works within his limits at the plate, works it smoother than Al Green-as-a-gardener in the field... Gimenez calms me.

[kcmets]

Hopefully he's ok. And his mom as well. Crazy day in some parts.

[LWFS]

Ol' OppoPete strikes!

[Edgy MD]

Speaking of beating jinxes, Alonso gets the two-out RBI after being down 1-and-2.

HYOO RANG?

[kcmets]

Nice opp here for Nido to shut us up.

[nymr83]

Need to Dom Smith here....

[bmfc1]

That was a good spot for Dom instead of a AA catcher.

[Edgy MD]

And Ryne Harper shuts us up instead.

[Centerfield]

Gotta pinch hit here.



Not impressed with Rojas.

[LWFS]

Says Nats reliever/autogenerated NPC Ryne Harper: "Keep talking, y'all!"

[kcmets]

Or not.
