Tuesday Night Mets IGT 6/22

[Edgy MD]

Well, Loup has his Schaeferiest game, anyhow.

[Frayed Knot]

So we've been two hit twice this week and are now in the process of getting one-hit.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, another [insert here] pop-up / weak grounder from Lindor!!!

[kcmets]

One fucking hit so far to the pitcher, by a pinch-hitter pitcher.



Sorry, needed to vent.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This game sucks so far, but it's only the top of the 9th

[kcmets]

Ugly tie, Gary. Hideous.

Gary has been feeding that concept to K & R all season so it's not surprising to hear him repeat it.

[Edgy MD]

Ugly tie, Gary. Hideous.

The toughest part is that the "blue" is a lot closer to Miami teal than New York royal.

[kcmets]

Three runs before three outs. Difficult, not impossible.

[kcmets]

Maybe next time.

[Edgy MD]

Three shutouts in less than a week.

Howie does this all the time, too. It's embarrassing.

[kcmets]

It's gonna happen, probably as soon as next year.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe, but ya gotta believe.



Resignation is the real enemy. Fuck those fucking fucks in the commissioner's office. Yield no quarter.

[Gwreck]

Agree. It would be much more productive to talk about how hideous that (and the other ridiculous rule changes) are.

[kcmets]

Not really yielding or resigning anything, it is what it is. If people feel Howie, Gary, et al

should be more proactively against the hideousness they should contact them. They're

easy enough to reach. I'm sure most here would agree that deep down the two of them

find the looming DH, the 7-inning games, runners on second in extras and minimums

for relievers quite frustrating and ruinous to the game. I'm probably forgetting a half

dozen other things.

[kcmets]

And I realize that 'it is what it is' sounds rather resigning lol...

[Edgy MD]

Keith says he digs the seven inning games. I imagine he gets paid the same.

[kcmets]

Well, Keef is in whole 'nother bubble-world than Howie, Gary, et al...

[Frayed Knot]

Was watching a Braves game recently -- Chip Carey, Jeff Francouer, Tom Glavine -- when the 7-inning topic came up, and both Francouer and Glavine said the same thing:

'would have hated it as a player, love it as an announcer' ... and neither of them is anywhere near as old and curmudgeonly as Keith.



And even Gary said he likes the "drama" of the 7-inning DH's. He's not so keen on the Xtra rules or the DH but if main-streamers like him are on board for L.L. DH's (already

used throughout the minors) then there's probably not a lot of insider opposition.

And I'll get up on my soap box once again to say how this whole thing is just another manifestation of them now being able to get games completed in under 3 hours. Get

those things back to even within shouting distance of 2-1/2 and many of these issues go away.

[Edgy MD]

I notice for this game that the PotG ballot attempts to include Jerad Eickoff's non-existent pitching line while excluding his best-on-the-team batting line.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes. That's something that happens when pitchers are in the game but don't actually pitch.
