IGT 04/10/2021 - Fishsticks at Mets - Saturday, In The Park

[kcmets]

I think it's at one-ten that's no lie...

[Frayed Knot]

deGrom vs Trevor Rogers (L)

[Fman99]

SNY rerun at 8 PM. I may put myself into media isolation for the afternoon and watch it in the evening.

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo CF

Lindor SS

Conforto RF

Alonso 1B

D. Smith LF

McCann C

McNeil 2B

Villar 3B

Jacob deGrom RHP

[Frayed Knot]

Not much yet out of that #2-3 combo.

That will change... be nice if it were soon.

[Edgy MD]

Bunting is a winning play.

[bmfc1]

"Guys! We have first and third with nobody out!"

"Jake's pitching"

"You're right, let's do nothing."

[TransMonk]

Nimmo's has had a lot of leadoff doubles wasted in this young season.



Grr.

[MFS62]

Who is Jazz Chisholm Jr and why does he have to hit his one f'n annual homer off Jake?

Later

[Lefty Specialist]

Oh boy, here we go again.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Interesting.. With the Mets trailing the Marlins 1-0 in the bottom of the third, ESPN's win probability gives the Mets a 63.8% chance of winning the game.



Must be the deGrom factor.

[Willets Point]

Just tuned in and it appears that all that talk about Conforto getting beaned was just talk.

[Lefty Specialist]

Conforto looks lost at the plate right now. But nobody's hitting today.

[MFS62]

I wonder if Luis Rojas is still confident about the competence of the advance scouting department.

They roll over for any pitcher they haven't (or have rarely) seen, a problem they've had for years.



Later

[Willets Point]

deGrom now needs to steal 2nd, 3rd, and home to tie the game.

[batmagadanleadoff]

And deGrom gets to hit, leading off the bottom of the 6th, with the Mets trailing 1-0.



Who woulda thunk that?

Who woulda thunk that?

[Edgy MD]

And deGrom, seemingly ready to swing 3-0, takes the walk.



Take the bunt if they give it to you. Their infield defense has failed 'em.

[Edgy MD]

Take, take, take.

[Edgy MD]

Conforto, it's a good a time as any to start your season.

[Willets Point]

A chance for Conforto to put some elbow grease on the ball and drive in a run.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Michael, you LoBbin'.

[Willets Point]

deGrom should've stole home.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, baseball without contact is rough.

[bmfc1]

The analysis that was used to start Pillar rather than Dom on Opening Day (righty v lefty) should have been used today to sit Conforto's sorry ass down.



On 2-0, why did Lindor take that fat pitch? Gary said that he was waiting for a strike after 6 straight balls but Keith disagreed. Lindor is too good a pitcher to let one go by on the chance that there will be another ball. Rogers then threw a beauty to even the count.

[Lefty Specialist]

Jake better get another inning. He's cruising and he deserves the chance.

[Willets Point]

Pulling a hot pitcher after 6 innings - Not just a Mets thing!

[Edgy MD]

So, deGrom 2021 is the second best pitcher in the league.



Number one is whoever is facing Michael Conforto with runners on base.

[bmfc1]

He'll get better but so far, McCann looks no better than Nido or Ramos.
