IGT 4/22/21 Mets@Cubs I can't believe nobody started this thread yet.

Gorgeous.

[LWFS]

Whaddaya know? Actual, honest-to-Tug relief.

[Frayed Knot]

That's even worse than us stranding Conforto on 2nd w/no outs.

[Edgy MD]

Pillar did a lot of watching there.



Let's stick with Castro. If he gets in any trouble, you can double-switch in Diaz.

[Frayed Knot]

The 7 pitch inning by Kimbrel means we'll likely see him again if we wind up forcing this game into the 10th

[Edgy MD]

I thought they'd swap Almora in for Pillar, but I didn't think that, if McNeil gets up, he automatically gets up with a dude in scoring position.

[Edgy MD]

Wow, that was a terrific matchup on that Diaz-Rizzo at-bat.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Stupid innings!

[Edgy MD]

Let's just make a rule that every play involving McNeil goes to a replay.

[Frayed Knot]

Pillar will be the 'Manfred Man' to start the 10th.



In the Reds/Snakes game today, ARZ scored 6 in the top half only to see Cincy score three times in the bottom and get the tying run to the plate in the form of Joey Votto (he K'd)

[Edgy MD]

Scary first pitch by Fonzie.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

,jesus, jeff

[Edgy MD]

McNulty needs some restraint.

[Edgy MD]

Guillorme may be the new McNeil — the guy you really want up there when you need contact.

[Frayed Knot]

Walk sets up the GIDP, but it also gets a batter up with a fresh count.

[Edgy MD]

Lindy is really showing a hole in his swing there up and away.

[LWFS]

They CANNOT lay off his high fastball.

[Edgy MD]

Man, EVERYTHING is up with this guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Dom, lemme whisper something in your ear: LAY OFF THE HIGH SHIT!!!!

[Willets Point]

Don't fuck this up.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. Poo.

[Frayed Knot]

FUTHERMUCKER!!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Schmucky.

[Frayed Knot]

Runner on 2nd no outs = 0

Runner on 3rd no outs = 0

[LWFS]

They seem to find and amplify the stupid in just about every offensive situation. Just plain disheartening.

I was consumed with these exact same thoughts throughout SR-F's entire outing tonight. I was amazed at how Foley was getting so many swinging strikes with a 93 MPH fastball and immediately thought of Sid Fernandez throughout Foley's outing - how Sid's unique delivery and wide body type hid the ball and Sid's release point for a few fractions of a second longer and so batters didn't pick up Sid's pitches as early as they'd pick up most other pitcher's pitches and so Sid's fastballs played like they were a few MPH's faster than they actually were.

[Edgy MD]

Perhaps more than Rod Beck or Goose, the Sheriff is also singing the tunes of Gorman Thomas.

I was so excited to get rid of Matz I barely considered who got they got back but it seemed like it was something of a double "change of scenery" trade. SRF's outing last night is probably the most encouraging thing I've seen on the field at least all year.
