IGT 8/6/21: NYM @ PHA — It's Gonna Be Alright

[Edgy MD]

Marcus Stroman attacks, Kyle Gibson defends.



The Mets are gonna stay close by your side, and not get stranded on third.



It's gonna be alright.

Been meaning to ask, what happened to the YouTube button? Is it just not working

or did they crack down on embedding their stuff on other sites?

[Lefty Specialist]

I'll be there tonight to supply local color. Should be raucous, but not necessarily in a good way.

[kcmets]

An in-person take from you on fan-ratio will be fun. Sometimes that's hard to judge

from just the television screen shots and audio. Sometimes it seems 50/50.

[Frayed Knot]

When the Mets were up and the Phils down, particularly when tickets were practically unlimited in that cavernous old stadium, NYM fans would often seem to outnumber Philly plans.

Don't think that's likely to be the case these days.

[Fman99]

Lead down to just 0.5 games. Crucial to take at least 2 of 3 this weekend.

Here's the screen from the old board for comparison. I think it still worked when

board did the switcheroo to UMDB.

It's probably hard to read so here is what is in those fields:

All riiiight. Who's willing to go down with me to bail Lefty out?

(looks over shoulder)

Ahhh, looks like you're fu**ed.



You be careful out among them English.

Later

[Lefty Specialist]

Yeah, I feel like the Coyote who's gone way out over the edge of the cliff and is momentarily suspended in mid-air. Nothing good follows.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Go incognito. Don't wear Mets gear. Instead, dress as Napoleon Bonaparte or Queen Elizabeth I. Don't draw attention to yourself!

[Frayed Knot]

Hmmmm, two CFs and no catcher.

We should find a way to exploit that.

[Edgy MD]

I get interrupted with alarming frequency.



Correct lineups should now be floating above your post.

[Frayed Knot]

Rhys Hoskins is day to day with a groin strain (presumably his own) so that's why Miller is in at 1st

Jankowski has been playing in place of McCutcheon of late.

[Lefty Specialist]

80-20 Philly fans in the ballpark tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Those of us at home, meanwhile, are dealing with a lesser Gary in the booth.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hey Phillies, suck Tomas Nido's hose

[Edgy MD]

Lorne (?) and Keith are doing a lot of belching this evening.



Sounds like Barney Gumble is calling the game.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff hitter gets on ... then nothing else leaves the infield.

Same shit, different day.

[Lefty Specialist]

Harper's ball sounded like a Homer off the bat. Really loud.

[Edgy MD]

Bandbox Homer #1.



Although ... not a cheapie.

[Lefty Specialist]

None of the outfielders moved on Didi's Homer.



Stroman looks uncomfortable and fidgety on the mound.

[Frayed Knot]

Joe West's strike zone is wider than he is.

[Edgy MD]

He's always been wide, yeah. Calls a bunch of pitches three or four inches off the plate every time, with one or two real head-scratchers eight or 10 inches off.

[Frayed Knot]

Walks are our version of an offensive threat.

[Edgy MD]

Nice RBI pickup by Smitty.



Goofy how Thorne keeps calling balls in the hole "down the line."

[Frayed Knot]

What an idiot swing on a 2-1 count!

[Edgy MD]

Baez gets a called strike several inches outside and then grounds out trying to reach out and hit a ball in the same spot.



Assist to Joe West.

[Lefty Specialist]

Occasional LGM chants quickly booed down by the locals.
