IGT 08/04 - Metsies at Fishsticks - Grey Skies Are Gonna Clear Up?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Baez, what a dick

[Edgy MD]

And the Mets take the lead!



Now it's gonna be ... May? ... to close?

[bmfc1]

How did he do that? 2d time tonight I've asked that about something Baez did.

[Frayed Knot]

He can be frustrating ... and dynamic.

[Fman99]

Conforto with the knock. Please please please score some more damn runs kthnx

[Frayed Knot]

Opposite field hits ... what a concept.

[Edgy MD]

You hate to say it, but sometimes Jazz can be too improvisational.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Marlins playing like a last place team finally.

[Edgy MD]

Credit the RBI to Nimmo's force field!

[Fman99]

Jeez, a freebie. We'll take it.

Better than the line I was working on.



And yet Another non-hit run scored!



And now another hit w/RiSP that doesn't score a run.

How to beat teams restocking with young and unknown players:

• Force them to use their baseball skills rather than their athletic skills.


• Get deep into the pen.

[Edgy MD]

I feel sorry for Pete's chops as much as he's licking them here.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Marlins forced the pen on us but yeah

[Edgy MD]

It's interesting when the Mets make a defensive replacement in the outfield, they no longer seem to be bumping Nimmo over to a corner spot.

[Fman99]

Not a lot of fans in the seats. You can really hear the players letting the expletives fly on these ground outs. I like it.

[Frayed Knot]

61 RBIs on 107 PAs/85 ABs this season w/bases loaded

22 of those came via non-hits: 13 BB, 4 HBP, 5 Sac Fly

8 of the other 39 came on the 2 Grand Slams leaving 17 run-scoring hits other than HRs in 83 sacks-juiced ABs

Villar seems to be fading. As soon as JD is healthy he'll play every day (WHAT? HE'S BACK?) until Lindor returns.

[Edgy MD]

Nuit de merde for Villar.

[bmfc1]

Last night's game, 2:43. This one might be an hour longer.

[Edgy MD]

Angel Hernandez, making a bid for more post-season assignments.

[Frayed Knot]

Brian Anderson: you've been Angel'd





And here i was about to post that AH had actually had a rather decent game behind the dish.

[kcmets]

Why are we posting in Portuguese?

[kcmets]

Bookaroonies!

[Edgy MD]

Four saves for Trevor May!

[Frayed Knot]

Always nice to win a close game despite leaving EIGHT runners on in the 7th. 8th, 9th innings.

[Fman99]

BOOOOKS



Seemed like a game they were destined to lose, after leaving so many ducks on the pond in those late innings. And yet here we are with a chance to split on the Gay Dame.

[kcmets]

Watching the Baez slide now like 8 times, that was pretty smoothy cool.

[Edgy MD]

I like the stinky faces that Jorge Alfaro keeps making because they're making him play left.



After Jackson came up empty on that tag, Jorge looked like he was trying to pass a watermelon.
