Break the Free Fall IGT - 8/17/20 Mets @ Marlins

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like everyone else is on an IGT losing streak so I guess it's up to me.



Robert Gsellman vs Jordan Yamamoto



The 24 y/o Hawaii born Yamamoto is making his 3rd start this year after 15 last season.

His two starts this season (TOR & BAL) finds his ERA in the district of Matzlandia (9.82)

Faced the Mets twice last year and went 1-1



The 9-6 Marlins are coming off losing 2 of 3 to the Braves and not scoring a lot (lost 1-2 and 0-4) especially when you consider that the Braves's pitching

staff at the moment consists of two peanut vendors and a AA batting practice catcher.



Mets will try to jack up their runs scored tonight by getting at least two hits w/RiSP ... even if it takes them 16 ABs

[ashie62]

Jordan Yamamoto will try to help you out

[kcmets]

Without seeing a line or lineup I laid down twenty solid to win twenty semi-solid that Alonso

will hit six foul balls before 9:00 PM ET!! #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

Even if this review was successful there was the question of where Zimmo winds up. Has Rojas even won a challenge yet?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm no gay icon (nttawwt), but Gselly's got a sexy build. Broad shoulders, slim waist

[Frayed Knot]

There are Martin Scorcese movies that aren't as long as that bottom of the first.

[Edgy MD]

This is the first time I've noticed that the poor umps are wearing there memorial patches at once. Yikes.

[Edgy MD]

Good heavens, Mr. Yamamoto!! You're WILD!!

[Edgy MD]

Dom Smith, run-producing man.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Another dumb play for the mets

[Edgy MD]

Either the ump is generous or Cervelli is stealing a lot of strikes.



Really, they're the only strikes that Yamamoto is getting.

[Edgy MD]

Sweet. Starter knocked out in the second.



We go to an ad and ... Johnny Bench likes wiping emu on himself.

[bmfc1]

Already two opportunities to score a run with a flyball and they can't get it done. Fortunately, Dom and Amed did some damage.

[Edgy MD]

A three-run rally is nice, but they left two big fat ducks out there.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That has to be one of the worst 3-run innings I've ever seen. They should scored about 10.



This club is disgraceful

[Edgy MD]

So, nobody in Miami wanted to by a corrugated plastic representation of themself?

[Frayed Knot]

The two replay reviews in this game each appeared to take well over one minute ... or about 50 seconds longer than either should have needed.

They can put a time limit on it all they want, but if there's no enforcement it doesn't matter.

The problem isn't that they scored only 3 times after bags-loaded/no outs (2.5 is about the norm) ... it's that they scored only one additional run after they cashed in two and still had 2nd & 3rd/no outs

even though they tacked on another double.

Back to back!

Belly to belly!

We chased Yamamoto

Now the Fish just chased Gselly!

[Frayed Knot]

Two innings and a combined Four runs ... 70 minutes.

[Edgy MD]

Six runs, man!

[Edgy MD]

This ump is giving the Marlins some garbage strikes.

Yeah and add in the dumb baserunning, the stupid managerial challenges that are ineffective (I feel like you should win 90% of those you initiate) the hbps, the walks on both sides, the bad outfielding on both sides. Just awful baseball

[Fman99]

Hey, great, we're 1/3 of the way through this game, at just 95 minutes in. WOOOOOOO

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The umpires suck too

[whippoorwill]

I checked; I couldn't watch. Oddly glad

Here's my solution: Lose a challenge and you lose the right to challenge again for a week!

THAT would stop those piddley-ass challenges.

The quality of this game is so poor that even Pete Alonso is succeeding

[Frayed Knot]

So they mentioned earlier that Alonso has had more RiSP in his PAs than anyone else in MLB (was it 30 or 39?)

Well that HR he just hit was his 12th RBI of the season and 4 of those RBIs were himself since that was his 4th HR

So with all those bodies on base he's driven in just 8 of them.



On a related note, only the Giants have hit into more DPs this season than the Mets.

[Frayed Knot]

A leadoff triple for Nimmo and 2-3-4 in the order due up.

So I'm guessing about a 10% chance at bringing him in?





Just the fact that this game in still in play is ridiculous. And it's not just in play but I'd say it's in danger!
