IGT Tues 8/11/20 WAS @ NYM Let's Eat their Ass!

[Fman99]

It's our time to shine, boys. Scherzer vs Porcello. 7:10 first pitch.



(Yes, I used this IGT title last year. It still makes me giggle. I'm like that.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'll leave the ass-eating to you. I think I'll just passively watch the game.

[Frayed Knot]

This was the same (seemingly lopsided) pitching matchup from six days ago, a game which the Mets won 3-1. Porcello was terrific for 7 innings and Lugo just as good over the final 2.

Scherzer, on the other hand, struggled through the 1st (1 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 27 pitches) then left with a "Tight Hamstring" (not sure whether it was his blue hamstring or his brown one).



Nats have so far played only AL East teams (3-6) and the Mets (2-1) -- no Braves, no Marlins, no Phillies, and also no BoSox -- and even with last night's outburst, they're still near the bottom of both leagues in RS/G

Ew 🤭

[ashie62]

Porcello gets porked on pitch #2

[Edgy MD]

Ramos is not running with the role of "designated veteran" in this lineup.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo stretching Scherzer here is something. But let's win this one.

[Edgy MD]

Ball four! Let's go, McNeilio!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Great turn at bat by Zimmo but I'd really like to see some ass guzzling

[Fman99]

Hanging in there. The ass is served up on a platter. Its time to dig in boys

[Benjamin Grimm]

Is this a new cap the Mets are wearing? Blue crown and brim, orange NY with white border and orange button? Does this cap go with the blue jerseys?

[Edgy MD]

I'm highly unimpressed by the amount of ass we've been able to eat.

[Edgy MD]

Gimenez tripled and nearly homered! Off of Scherzer!



He might be good!

[Edgy MD]

And Luis Guillorme gets the first mouthful of buttocks, scoring Gimenez on the sac fly.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Two super DPs by the Gimmy Guilly infield

[LWFS]

Like the 4th dinky cue-shot National hit tonight... gets erased by a clinical DP (against Trea Turner, no less).



It's shocking how refreshing even moderately-good defense is from this team.

[kcmets]

Aerosmith song parody is just sitting out there on a tee.



(sans Let's)

[whippoorwill]

Go for it KC!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gimmy is absolutely gobbling some ass tonight

[Frayed Knot]

Si'down Kendrick!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Let the munching begin

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Guimo with a lucky double. Alonso to pinch-ass-eat for Hamilton

[Frayed Knot]

Soto is a marvelous hitter but he's a sub-par fielder at best.

[Edgy MD]

"The Mets are threatening, but it feels like they've been threatening for about three weeks."



— Wayne Randazzo

[Edgy MD]

And a dubble flubble...

[Fman99]

Ugh, GIDP.

[Frayed Knot]

Whatever we need, whenever we need it ... we get the exact opposite.

[Edgy MD]

It would be really sweet to steal this one. All it would seemingly take is one thing to go right.



Conforto forgetting to run on strike three = not something going right.

[bmfc1]

I don't think that he forgot, I think that he thought it was a ball and the ump got around to calling it a strike as it was halfway to the backstop and Conforto's mind went elsewhere.
