IGT el Catorce de Mayo 5/14

[Frayed Knot]

The -illar boys strike again!!

[LWFS]

I pay pretty-- read: VERY-- close attention to hitters around baseball, mostly owing to fantasy and such.



Every time I see a Rays lineup, they're guaranteed to have at least one hitter in there I have literally never heard of. Padlo is that guy tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Peterson's getting sharper, Glasnow's getting shaker, and Leon's getting larger

[Edgy MD]

Is Mr. Smile's new hair color a tribute to Yoenis Céspedes' canary compression sleeves?

[Edgy MD]

I wouldn't call those two strikes against Alonso bad calls, but any pitcher who gets those calls is going to be hard to hit.

[kcmets]

I read somewhere flourescent lime green is McNeil's favorite color.

Peterson seems to be getting them, as well.

Six innings, 1:37



Is McKinley president again?

Glasnow retired his first fourteen, Peterson has retired his last fourteen. That's a perfect game.

He is. In fact, David Peterson may be fast becoming my favorite Bangle.



Sorry, Michael Steele.

[The Hot Corner]

Peterson looking sharp.



Another run would be nice.

[Frayed Knot]

So a team schedules a rare Saturday day game (tomorrow) and it turns out to be a club that plays indoors.

[LWFS]

17 straight retired? HOO-whee.

[The Hot Corner]

Peterson painting the inside corner in the 7th. He looks to be on cruise control.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow. Peterson's having the game of his lie, and his pitch count is low enough to go out for the 8th.

[Frayed Knot]

83 pitches thru 7 ... the equivalent of about 5-1/2 innings worth

[Edgy MD]

Well, I guess that confirms my theory that the Mets don't want McNeil playing at full speed.



Let's disaster-proof this game.

[Edgy MD]

MayLindy looking like AprilLindy tonight.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Uhoh

[Edgy MD]

Well, this is a sucky turn.

[Lefty Specialist]

Bad management not having the bullpen up.

[Edgy MD]

Terrific pitch. Terrific job by the batter going down and hitting it. Terrific job by the thirdbaseman catching to the line drive. Terrific job by the baserunner not getting picked off.



Terrific baseball.

[Frayed Knot]

Villar was in great position on that play to prevent any rebounds in the crease.

[Edgy MD]

Gary Carter called one too many fastballs there.

[The Hot Corner]

Margot hammered that change up.

[Lefty Specialist]

OK, it's time for that late-inning magic.

[The Hot Corner]

okay, let's get someone up in the bullpen. May looks gassed. Ninth inning runs would be nice. Come on Pete.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alonso sucks

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lucky 🤞

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Thanks again, McCann
