IGT 6/2/2021: NYM@ARI — You Bum

[Lefty Specialist]

Back in the real world, Lugo showing off that sharp-breaking curve.

[Lefty Specialist]

"That trophy means a lot because it was voted on by YouTubers'. Well, alrighty then.

The NFL did that in the playoffs with a separate broadcast on Nickelodeon and it was great. This is an exclusive telecast and it's not for anyone: Mets fans, both AZ fans, gamblers, kids, baseball lovers, no one will love this and no casual viewer will seek it out despite it being "free". It's just a money-grab by MLB (which also angers cable and mlb.tv subscribers as you're paying to watch your team and not getting anything in return today).

I feel like I MIGHT be enjoying Franco's commentary a little more if he just eschewed baseball insight and just went full Al Michaels with gambling discussion.

[Benjamin Grimm]

About 130,000 people are watching.



That doesn't seem like a lot.

[Edgy MD]

Lugo has more ass than I remember.

[LWFS]

Rehab weight, y'know?

[dinosaur jesus]

Fun fact: Blankenhorn is German for "blank horn."

[Edgy MD]

Vargas ties it up with the Mazeika RBI.

[Edgy MD]

How come we have a better angle today on last night's walkoff hit than we had at the time?

Content creators!

[Edgy MD]

Is it me? Am I going to have be the one to ask that guys dial back the 24-7 spooging over Pillar?

[Lefty Specialist]

yeah, it's a bit much.

[LWFS]

So now Villar's hurt. (Tight hamstring, as per Wayne Randazzo.)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Randy Johnson: the Hall of Famer endorsed by Geddy Lee.

[LWFS]

Castro-- helped by a nice DP to end the 8th-- turns in a solid two innings of work.



Lindor-- who started it-- gets a hustle double to start the next one.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Beginning the 9th with a guy on 2nd and no outs>Beginning the 10th with a guy on 2nd and no outs

I wonder if Randy endorsed Geddy's enshrinement too.



Let's take this game now. None of that magic runner silliness.

[Lefty Specialist]

Diaz hits the bull on his first pitch.

[kcmets]

Been back on, frozen screens but audio works. Then when it's time

for a commercial break it starts working again. Brilliant!

[Frayed Knot]

Definitely a decrease in agita on grounders hit at Lindor vs recent NYM SSs

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I do believe Johnson appears in that Rush doc.



You just don't wanna get in the row behind him at a show.

[LWFS]

Just noticing now how much like an Easter Island/Rapa Nui statue Diaz's mug looks like, especially when he gets all scowly.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah, suck it, Geddy Lee

[Frayed Knot]

OK, a sweep in the desert would have been nice, but no disgrace in taking Only five of seven from the weak sisters of the NL West

Now I'm back in the first inning, Mets winning 3-sniffle. I'm done.

[kcmets]

They won the damn thing! Can I say that?

Like the Mets, YouTube was a bit glitchy.



Want to know what this team is made of? 7 games in 10 days against the Padres might tell you.

That's what building up a lead is good for. Even a tough series against a good team (and someone on yesterday's broadcast said he thought the Pods were the best team in the NL) probably leaves the Mets in first place. This is like playing with house money--I suspect they're loose and could give the Pods a hard time.



The D'backs looked pretty awful in the field, didn't they? I think we can expect the Padres not to be handing out runs like that for free. I once told my kids they were called "Error-zona" for that reason.
