IGT Cinco De Mayo Game Dos 5/5/21

[Edgy MD]

Nido is putting Lindy to shame also.



Apparently, guys coming up from the minors are being treated like it's only the second week of spring training with regard to pitch counts.

Loup leaving some junk over the plate to righthanded hitters.

[kcmets]

4-1 through four innings. Why does it feel like we're behind and losing?

I don't care what his stat line currently reads... my stomach never feels right watching him pitch. I doubt it ever will.

[Edgy MD]

Aaron Loup came real close to turning into Aaron Poup there and, well, we're a few notches into the pen already.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, another mound conference.



And now another.

So is Pillar, and probably also one-time Red Sock Kevin Millar even though he's 49 y/o and long retired.

Catching some breaks, finally, are the good guys.

[bmfc1]

Does this get Yamamoto another start?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Villar is really humiliating Lindor

[Edgy MD]

Time to sign Villar to a 10-year, $342 million extension.

HA!

Six pitches and done for Mr. May.

[Frayed Knot]

Did they neglect to discuss Carpenter prior to the game so now need a mid-inning committee meeting?

Who's closing tonight ? I'm hoping for 87 insurance runs.

[Frayed Knot]

Have we got anyone named Riff on the squad to take care of this Bernado guy the Cards just brought in?

[Frayed Knot]

And after one batter faced the Cards decide they need a mound conference !!

I know Diaz left the other night with "back tightness," which might be the medical term for barfing up most of a four run lead. And naturally the St. Louis broadcast team is Johnny on the Spot there with the cameras in the Mets pen.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That was an ultimate frisbee kinda effort

[Frayed Knot]

Right now, with the Mets threatening for more and no one warming in the pen, it looks like Gsellman.



(answering Fman)

[Edgy MD]

Did the Cards just bring Jody Watley into the game?

That's exactly what it was. The kind of effort that turns everybody else on both teams into spectators.

[Edgy MD]

I'm remembering when it was a tossup whether Goldschmidt or Ike Davis was the better asset at first.

OMG, need a decoder.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Both Nido and Ali Sanchez look like Star Wars Stormtroopers

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The frisbee play I meant was just getting totally horizontal at speed, but O'Neill couldn't hold onto the ball.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Well done Mets. They now have a shot at salvaging a series split on the road

[Frayed Knot]

Undefeated with Lindor on the bench.

[bmfc1]

It feels like much longer than Sunday since their last win. Nice job in G2.
