IGT 04/30 - Mets at Phillies - #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

[The Hot Corner]

I shelled out for MLB.TV this year in anticipation of this team being fun to watch. So far I was wrong. Yes, DeGrom is fun to watch, though watching him continually get stiffed by his offense is very frustrating. I don't know how DeGrom keeps his sanity. Stroman has been good and looks like he is ready to suffer a prototypical DeGrom fate.



Nimmo with a double, so our chances of scoring this inning is pretty much over.

[The Hot Corner]

This team is frustrating to watch. Baseball in general, is frustrating to watch. Baseball has essentially become hit HR or strike out. There is little else.



Oh and I hate the shift. Smart play by Herrara.

[ashie62]

Davis and Rojas need to be terminated.

[The Hot Corner]

Lead off single by Alonso. At least he isn't in scoring position. Maybe that will inspire our hitters.

Ya puts down your money, ya takes your chances.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

There ain't much we can do till they do something.

[Frayed Knot]

If Conforto had swung 3-0 there i was calling Luca Brasi





And now the dreaded RiSP ABs

Davis is the guy you want up here.



I'd still be tempted to bunt.

[The Hot Corner]

RISP is like Kryptonite to Mets hitters.

[Edgy MD]

If we're gonna get somebody up, how about that Reid-Foley cat?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yayy

[Edgy MD]

Kryptonite loses.

[The Hot Corner]

Do you believe in miracles? A run scoring hit with RISP.

I think they might have him start on Sunday

[The Hot Corner]

Still, 1-11 with RISP is pretty damn bad. I'd say overall, the Kryptonite is winning.

[Frayed Knot]

The other thing about open web gloves in the infield is that you can get your finger(s) hooked in the webbing when trying to pick out the ball. OFs tend to use them because you can block the sun but still peek through the gaps.

If Steve Cohen invested in the market the way he invested in McCann he wouldn't own priceless works of art and a Zamboni.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Not to defend McCann too hard but the thinking was they didn't want to get caught doing musical chairs with catchers again

[kcmets]

Home plate ump is an inconsistent chump.

Those were some bad at bats. Retch

[kcmets]

Good to see you, Rockin' Doc!

[The Hot Corner]

Thanks for sending me the new address. I guess I just needed a nudge to remind me I don't need to suffer through Mets games alone. Great to be back in the Pool.

[kcmets]

That four HR or more prediction looking pretty dumb.

[bmfc1]

I am done with Familia. I wish that Sandy felt the same way.

[Edgy MD]

McCann is giving Familia a target right down the middle for every pitch.

[Edgy MD]

Jeurys Houdini.

[Frayed Knot]

Never in doubt.
