IGT 8/9/2020: MIA@NYM: Jake, Jacob, Cy.

[Edgy MD]

A strikeout of Harrison, the gift that keeps giving. Ten outs to go.

[Edgy MD]

Squeezed through that inning. Fortunately, Harrison and Villar are really swinging noodles.



Nine more outs. Who's your next pitcher?

[nymr83]

Gimenez with the heads up drag bunt and 1st to 3rd in the single. I vote Cano to bench when he gets back.

[Frayed Knot]

1st & 3rd nobody out ... time to not let the ball get out of the infield.



C'mon boys, prove me wrong.

[Edgy MD]

I love a bunt hit. Thrills that money can't buy.

[Edgy MD]

Now they're bloated.



Two-three-four coming up. Every opportunity to put this game away here.

McNeils AB there only sort of counts.

90% of the time that's not enough to get a run in.

[Edgy MD]

I'll take the run.

[Frayed Knot]

The average number of runs scored after loading the bases with no outs is around 2.5

That we're now semi-satisfied with the fact that we didn't get shut out there says a lot.

[Edgy MD]

Delly walks the leadoff dude.

[bmfc1]

That book is bad. There are better books about Willie.

[Edgy MD]

The pitcher's best friend just showed up.

[bmfc1]

I was sooooooo bored reading that book and it was about WILLIE MAYS!

[Edgy MD]

I was thinking Conforto was out, but then I thought the tag was missed.



But out he is.

[Edgy MD]

Umpy is simply seeing different pitches than the ones I'm seeing.

[Frayed Knot]

Remember when replays were only going to be overturned in cases where there was 'clear and convincing' evidence? That's always been the selling point but it's never the case in practice.

And as time has gone on it now seems that a 51%/49% guesstimate is enough for them to flip a call.



Were it up to me I'd reject anything that even hinted at not being definitive which would have the added benefit of discouraging managers from challenging future ticky-tack calls.

[Frayed Knot]

And check it out ... another K w/2-outs and RiSP!!!

[bmfc1]

Perhaps replays should only be called for by the umps on vacation, I mean in the review booth.

[Edgy MD]

Tying RiSP. Two out in the eighth.

[bmfc1]

The ump missed strike three and now all hell is breaking loose.

[Edgy MD]

Monte Harrison for PotG!!!

[Edgy MD]

Villar has had a crappy game, but he's also probably the biggest victim of the ump's erratic strikezone.

[Edgy MD]

"I don't see this Mark Carlson character sticking in the big leagues if he calls a few more games like that."

Andres will make a spot his own

[Frayed Knot]

This was a pretty Fugly game all around.

First of all it was a 4-2 8-1/2 game which came in at 3:09. The two teams combined to go 3-fer-20 w/RiSP [NYM = 1/10; FLA = 2/10] w/19 LOBsters combined.

There were far too many freaking pitches (166 by the Mets), 9 combined walks, questionable strategies on both sides, ... and then there was the umpiring.

[Lefty Specialist]

Yeah, that was a mess. Still no clutch hitting, even in a win.
