IGT 06/14 - Cubs at Mets

[Lefty Specialist]

And they let Peterson go out for the 6th, not a given these days. Good.

[Lefty Specialist]

So of course he walks the leadoff hitter.

[Lefty Specialist]

But he escapes. Well done.

[Frayed Knot]

And now he's out, bringing up the same conversation as yesterday just one inning removed.

[Edgy MD]

It's a different conversation.



You're never as bad as you look when you're losing, but I'm not seeing a first-place team in this Cubbage squad, and I'm squinting real hard.

[Frayed Knot]

This is the kind of game that's gotta be killing Cubs fans, not just all those two out RBI hits but two out hits that are being set up by two out walks!

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, the Tommy Nance who dropped that curve on McKinney didn't seem like the same pitcher who took over after that.

[Fman99]

Boy, Rizzo squared the fudgems out of that pitch.

I was OK with it here because Peterson has struggled so mightily. Going 6 and getting out of there with a 4-0 lead after the disaster of those last 2 starts was wise.



Of course, Trevor May isn't exactly helping the cause here.

[Fman99]

Trevor May suck at pitching

[Frayed Knot]

Rizzo hit one like that a couple days ago but on a pitch even more inside to the point where he nearly fell over swinging ... and it went just about as far.

[Edgy MD]

Sometimes it seems like May's deliberate motion kind of helps the hitter time the pitch.

[Lefty Specialist]

Trevor might be getting to that announcing career sooner than he thought.

[Edgy MD]

Pete's homer barrage in Baltimore is feeling far away.

[Edgy MD]

It's a good day for pickoffs.



Maybe it's Contreras making them a first-place team.

Get your fucking head out of your fucking ass, Pete.

[Edgy MD]

The funny thing is that Rizzo missed the tag, but it didn't matter, because Alonso's slide left him 12 inches short of the bag and a sitting duck.

[Frayed Knot]

Javy Baez has been sidelined recently with sprained tattoos.

[Edgy MD]

I'll say this for Arrieta: If his sweet nude spread from six years ago is any indicator, he's a rare tatt-free pitcher.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Put it in the books!! Nice job by Diaz!

[bmfc1]

Sit down Rizzo, you unvaccinated twat!

[Fman99]

Books! Diaz spitting hot fire

[Edgy MD]

Diaz brought the plow tonight, and went straight through Contreras, Bryant, and Rizzo.

[Frayed Knot]

It's certainly possible that we'll never come to Not hate the trade. But it's also possible that the ultimate success/not success of this season could depend on Edwin Diaz.

And, under the right circumstances, that could make the deal worthwhile no matter what Kelenic goes on to do over the next 15 years.

[Edgy MD]

There's also Justin Dunn on the other side of that.



And Anthony Swarzak and Guerson Batista.



Plus the cash the Mets got. You can't put a value on cash ... or something.

Sit down Rizzo, you unvaccinated twat!

Can anyone tell me who is to blame for the mets not being @ 85% - Michael Conforto, JD Davis & James McCann all were quoted by Newsday at one time or other saying "personal decision" WTF is that all about.

[Lefty Specialist]

They keep vaccination status under tight wraps because it's become so politicized. It shouldn't be, but it is.



Nice, crisp win, with the exception of Trevor hiccups. Hopefully Peterson found what he was doing wrong and has corrected it.

It's frigging embarrassing. Pete appeared in the "Get Vaccinated" concert (during the sports montage) so I'm sure he's vacc'd. Luis and Lindor are, too. Don't the holdouts want to hit 85% so they don't have to wear masks in the dugout?
