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

[Edgy MD]

I had Bob Friend down for the second. Not quite.



Feels perverse to see Nimmo chase a 3-2 pitch for a strikeout.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Megill just made it through five.



As pitcher of record, too.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's the JD Davis Game

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

JD Davis: "Call me trade bait? Well, I'll show YOU!"

[Frayed Knot]

Nice mid-season pick-up we just made.

[Edgy MD]

Gary Thorne is part of my Mets history and part of my modest Orioles history, but man, he's blowing calls all over the place.



He was, very interestingly, discussing earlier how broadcasters are doing such a good job calling games off of monitors that teams are possibly reluctant to put them back on the road. But went unspoken was what a poor example he was of this.

He got his pick count under control after a shaky 1st

[Edgy MD]

My fantasy umpire team would have tossed Nogowski for throwing his bat like that.

[Lefty Specialist]

Good job, Tylor. Have a seat and hope the pen doesn't blow it.

Did he work for the O's in 2020? I'm thinking that this is the first time that he's called games off a monitor.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Blanketyblank really stung that one

[Frayed Knot]

Pirates bring in a new pitcher, he gives up a GB error, and the pitching coach needs to come out for a conference!!



And the worst part is, this doesn't count as a "visit" since a pich-hitter was coming up.



And the visit didn't help.



And now we're going to stop the game again.



And nothing changes.

It's a double headset play! Fantastic!!! Go kick out that idiot. Or someone from The 7 Line should rough him up.

[Edgy MD]

Did Thorne just call Nimmo "Noah"?

[Edgy MD]

Another double play and I'm not sure the Pirates got either out.

[bmfc1]

It's a 3-headset inning! Check with Elias on the record.

[Edgy MD]

Mets got the call back at first, but I was thinking that Frazier didn't control his juggle at second until he had come across the bag.

[Edgy MD]

If McNeil keeps going against the shift like that, my heart will do what my heart's going to do.

[dinosaur jesus]

Davis grounding into the fourth double play of the game after two home runs feels weirdly appropriate.

[Frayed Knot]

Six pitches into a reliever's outing and we need a mound conference.

[bmfc1]

The WSH game was stopped for the evening b/c of a shooting outside the ballpark. Two of the SD players went into the stands and took their families into the Clubhouse. There was a delay and then after the "all-clear", the game was stopped for the night.

[bmfc1]

This is quite a night. See the TWIB thread for more.

[Edgy MD]

Trouble, trouble, Barney Rubble.

[Edgy MD]

Bad day to be Loogie.

[bmfc1]

We can't have one long, laborious but tension-free game, can we?

[Fman99]

For fuck's sake.

One run leads are protected at a rate of about 80%

Two run leads are protected at a rate of about 90%



So we just went from a 4 in 5 shot of winning this in regulation to more like 9 in 10 ... at least in a theoretical sense.

[bmfc1]

Another lousy call by Marvin Hudson but at least Gary C. and Keith are amused.
