IGT 8/5/2020: NYM@WAS Porcello/Scherzer Dream Matchup

[Edgy MD]

All eyes curious to see if the Mets' deep dive into their infield depth chart continues.

[G-Fafif]

Let's unsuck this season.

[batmagadanleadoff]

When's deGrom's next start?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Love these unis the Nats wore yesterday -- but mainly the fronts. They're alternates, with gold for their WS win. It's a clean, classic look -- the fronts. Plus, I always hated the Nats regular number fonts.

Gold garbage and classless to wear it beyond the opening weekend. Who designed it, Liberace?

Today's pitching matchup doesn't look terribly promising, does it?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mr. Sandman (yes) bring us a dream

Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam

Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci

And lots of wavy hair like Liberace

[G-Fafif]

Hamilton opens off Broadway.

[Edgy MD]

Guillorme, too.



There's nothing remotely resembling a set lineup for this Luis Rojas character, is there?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, Brian Dozier didn't really make a strong case for more playing time yesterday. Hopefully Rosario can return soon and Gimenez can become the regular 2B.

I missed my IGT



NJ is 80% without power including me. They say 5-7 days

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, we figured you were down. Welcome back.

[ashie62]

Thank you

I was almost happy to see Ramos strike out in that situation [2 on/ none out / Top 4] because, right before that pitch, I suddenly had visions of him grounding into a triple play.

[batmagadanleadoff]

What happened to Scherzer?

That was the Mets 11th GiDP of this season. At the start of the day, only SFG had more (12) and that includes both leagues.

Given that we're tops in the NL in OBA (behind only Houston) and yet below average in RS/G, I'm sure this surprises no one.

[nymr83]

Dom Smith strikes!



Cespe-who?

[nymr83]

Porcello!

[Frayed Knot]

It would be considered good for a pitcher with 80 pitches under his belt to be through the first out in the 6th (or 17 outs). Porcello is through 7 full (21 outs).

[nymr83]

i'm starting to not like the piped in crowd noise. its quiet there. let it be quiet!

[Edgy MD]

Silence is terrifying!!



Not terrifying would be Smeth Lugo coming out for the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

That's how to close a game.

16 straight Nationals go down to end it. 2:51 mins? love it.

[G-Fafif]

A Rick Porcello outing Mets fan Rick Porcello could love.

[Fman99]

This was some good baseball and played at an NL pace for once.
