IGT 07/20 - NYM @ CIN - SHaM'n On The River

[Edgy MD]

And on that note, Nimmo goes down looking with a 3-2 count on what was looking like their best opportunity yet.



Alonso vs. Brachiosaurus with two on and one out.

Brach didn't throw Pete a strike that entire AB



And what a CLANK by Votto

A fact which utterly escaped McNeil

[Frayed Knot]

NYM rally: get two on to start the inning, then go K, squib, squib and rely on luck to score once.

[Fman99]

Come on, Loupy

[seawolf17]

Who the fuck is Geoff Hartlieb? I swear to god this fuckin' team.

[Fman99]

Well, that could have been better, and worse. I guess it's all right. A gift 3rd out there makes it so Loup doesn't have to retire any more batters, so that's a plus.

When Aristedes Acquino is up in a game situation, the Mets need to go to Arquimedes Caminero out of the bullpen.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Looie

[Fman99]

Yeah baby! Guillorme with the rib eye!

[Edgy MD]

Jauss can't lauss!!

[Frayed Knot]

Annnnnnd we're at the three hour mark thru 7-1/2 innings despite a low-scoring game where most of the runs were scored via solo HRs.

[Frayed Knot]

Two BADDDD base-running moves by Cincy have helped immensely. (the guy caught off 1st on the Sac Fly was the other)

SEE WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GO UP AGAINST THE ORPHANS, EUGENIO?!!

[Edgy MD]

His evil twin from Monday night has obviously been banished.

This is gonna be great

[Edgy MD]

Shit night for Nimby.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil with the red ass. I wouldn't expect it any other way.

[bmfc1]

It's nice that it's surprising when they don't come back in the 9th.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Bad night though considering we had no chance and still had a chance, but didn't take the chance. Pennant winners win that game

Yeah but that's chicken or the egg, isn't it? Do teams win those games because they're pennant winners or are they pennant winners because they've won games like tonight's?

McNeil and Nimmo may need a blow.



Mets suddenly need another infielder, another outfielder, another starter, and another reliever.



I can work with two out of three against Cincinnati on the road.

Surprisingly, there's already an http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2021/07/21/roster-churn-a-fabricated-oral-history/oral history published about last night's game.

When Stock was handed the ball in the bottom of the first at Great American Ball Park, he had been staked to a 1-0 lead, thanks to a solo home run off the bat of a resurgent Pete Alonso, still sizzling from his win in the previous week's Home Run Derby. ALONSO: Man, that was so sexy winning the Derby, then hitting some bombs in Cincy. But the main thing is I just wanted to get runs on the board for…oh, help me out here. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time keeping track. Eickhoff was the night before, right? Did we still have Yamamoto had that point? JORDAN YAMAMOTO, starting pitcher: He said that? Damn, I hadn't pitched for the Mets since like May. Geez, Pete, get a clue. ALONSO: No, I wanna get this on my own. Szapucki? Oswalt? OK, I give…Stock? That was my next guess, seriously. Raymond Stock is a totally good dude. What's that? Robert? That's what I meant. Robert Stock. Totally good dude. STOCK: Cincinnati's a tough ballpark to hold a lead in. To be fair, every ballpark seems like a tough ballpark to hold a lead in to me. Have I even pitched with a lead? To be honest, I'm just repeating what I've heard some of the other guys say.
