IGT 7/17/2021: NYM@PIT — Injuries Remain the Pitts

[G-Fafif]

Who's not hurt? As far as we know?



CF Brandon Nimmo

1B Pete Alonso

2B Jeff McNeil

3B J.D. Davis

LF Dominic Smith

RF Michael Conforto

C James McCann

SS Luis Guillorme

RHP Tylor Megill

[G-Fafif]

Righty Wil Crowe goes for the Buccos.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo, wtf

[Lefty Specialist]

Nimmo brain fart there. That's a lazy fly ball, no reason to be caught that far off..

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Magilla really works, but cannot get 4 innings this way

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nice stroke from JDD



Trade value++++

[bmfc1]

Maybe the answer to 3B is JDD. Let's hope so.

Meanwhile, should we be concerned about Dom AGAIN?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Single, DP, double

[Frayed Knot]

Two leadoff runners on, two runners erased.

[ashie62]

deGrom is healthy. I'm good.

[Fman99]

Fuck WPIX games.



Have to stream this over dubious illegal internet streams. Stuck with the Pittsburgh broadcasters.

[Frayed Knot]

Complete game 4-hitter for Steve Blass in that 1971 WS clip they just showed. Two seasons later he'd utterly lose his control.

Time of Game: 2:10

[Edgy MD]

Hoping not to see the Mets hit into nine DPs today.

Nimmo's second walk sets up the GiDP opportunity.

3 out of 3 innings. It's painful.

And Pete comes through!!

[Edgy MD]

So many ways to stay out of double plays.



As a manager (which I'm sadly not) my entire philosophy is built around staying out of double plays. They make me insane.

[Fman99]

Christ, 0 for their last 16 with RISP, between yesterday and today. Tough to win that way

[bmfc1]

I love Pete, all right-thinking NYkers love Pete, but tonight:

1st inning: 5 straight balls, yet he swings and hits a lame flyout. I know it's easy for us and he's Pete and knows his zone but take a pitch until the guy shows that he can throw a strike, right?

3d inning: now you can hit that flyball... except he feels the weight of the lineup on his shoulders so he chases and hits in that innings' DP.

[Edgy MD]

JAYDEE not cooperating with Operation Double-Play.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that's one way to stay out of the DP

[Edgy MD]

Two outs! No double-plays this inning!

[Edgy MD]

Ways to stay out of the double-play.

2. Take when you're ahead of the count.


4. Steal.


6. Hit and run.
   2. Specifically on 2-1 counts.

   
   

   3. [*]Run and hit.
      2. Specifically on 3-2 counts.

   
   

   4. [*]Send the runner
   
   
   5. [*]Bunt.
   
   
   6. [*]Go against the shift.

Keith is going to be mad when he realizes it was Doug Drabek winning the 1990 Cy Young. But I confuse him and Smiley.

[Edgy MD]

I have to say that I'm enjoying the heck out of watching Guillorme at short.

[Frayed Knot]

I knew Drabek as well but was SURE Roy Face was the other even as I briefly thought, but then quickly rejected, Vern Law.

Turns out Face's 18-1 year was 1959 and he received ZERO CY Votes. He did, however, finish 7th in the MVP ballot.
