IGT 05/31 - Mets at Diamondbacks - It's A Dry Heat...

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder if the step on 1st then try for the tag play at 2nd would have been a better option there?

[Frayed Knot]

Even with that bit of a hiccup inning, JdG is still at 4 innings worth of pitches (60) thru 5

[kcmets]

That Leyba AB might be one of the stupidest things we'll see for weeks.

[Frayed Knot]

No Gary, I'm going to pass on watching Roberts & Carton on SNY weekdays at 4

He just simply didn't have a neck.

Kingman tended to play it that way.



For one, he was so big that it was easier for him than most to throw the ball past the runner. For two, he played close to the bag, so a good percentage of what he fielded had him in the vicinity.

[Edgy MD]

My God, he just unveiled his first curveball, and it was perfect.

I'm about to jinx things, especially since the 7th inning is when the brakes tend to get slammed on these things, but this is six full innings in just over 90 minutes.

I'm fading fast here. deGrom is cruising and there's not gonna be a no hitter. I think I can bag this day.

[Frayed Knot]

Jacob's lost bat was helicoptering right towards some guy in a white shirt who appeared to have no clue that there was a baseball game in his general vicinity.

[Edgy MD]

That Leyba AB might be one of the stupidest things we'll see for weeks.

On the second and third pitches, I'm thinking, "He's got to give him that same pitch but maybe an inch further inside."



Anybody else, I'd think, "But that's probably too much of a risk of hitting the guy."

[Edgy MD]

Poor Kelly had no business pitching to Alonso there. His manager left him out there to dry.

[G-Fafif]

It's a hot Bear.

[Fman99]

Oh I stayed up just late enough to see that blast, yay for me

[Edgy MD]

This team is playing like they've gotten a monkey or two off their backs.

[bmfc1]

That's it for Jake. I guess he's pitching too well to stay in the game.

Is there anything to the idea that they had such a short season last year that there is some concern to not let outings go longer than necessary in the early part of this season?

[Edgy MD]

May not inspiring here.

[bmfc1]

Would another 15 pitches have hurt Jake after only throwing 70? But 6 up/downs were his limit, I guess.

May may have summoned a monkey back.

Great camera work, Phoenix

[Edgy MD]

I think I know how No-Neck lost his neck.

Nice catch by the kid in the Mets jersey.

Nice trade by the Acting GM.

[kcmets]

It's funny how many Mets fans are there.

Pillar hits one off the end of his bat, and I can feel the vibrations in my nose.

Brakes applied.

Approx 95 minutes for first 6 innings. More than 60 minutes (and counting) for innings 7 + 8
