IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

[kcmets]

Game will resume at 4:10 this afternoon. Mets are down 3-1 and the Nationals

are batting in the top of the second with no outs and a man on first.



No idea if Carasco will continue to pitch. An 'Excessive Heat Warning' will be in

effect come game time and there is a 30% chance of thunderstorms.

Excessive Heat + Thunderstorms is generally a dangerous recipe.



Do the teams get their extra dude for the roster?

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

How come this is a suspended game? I always thought that if the rains came prior to the finish of the fifth inning it was considered a rain out, the stats were wiped out, and the game rescheduled and started fresh. Was there a rule change on this?

[Edgy MD]

Yup. Continuity is the rule.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I missed that! Thanks!

One would imagine, but there's nothing on metsdotcom (surprise, surprise)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'll say it again-- we were on our way to victory last night before the weather interrupted. Zimmo, Alonso and Smith all hit the ball hard and that was that.



I dunno who pitches now, will probably get all Yenssy again.

[Edgy MD]

Are these two games single admission or double?



Because I can imagine the weather/last-minute rescheduling/weekday afternoon factors might lead to a crowd of about 75 peeps if they aren't willing to admit folks with a ticket to the later game early.

[kcmets]

Need a ticket for today's game to get in.

[Centerfield]

I don't understand the thought process behind burning Carrasco with that downpour coming. Not that he was any good anyway.

Was a topic on the Shawn Green Episode of Mets On Tap for sure.

I hope you edited out the part where none of us could remember who wears #20 right now.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I think it might be Alonso

[Ceetar]

It's a shame there's not a site devoted to uniform numbers where we could've had it loaded up.

[bmfc1]

Ed Coleman subbing for Howie is like Jared Eickhoff starting instead of Jake.

[bmfc1]

So within the same game, Dom got thrown out on the bases and misplayed a flyball. Good thing he's crushing the ball.



And now McNeil boots an easy play. Awful D on a team with awful O.

Well, we got a couple of innings of Rich Hill followed by one of poor Hill.

[bmfc1]

Luis left Hill in too long. Once he walked the leadoff hitter he was done but that cheap hit was followed by the solid hit and now the Mets are losing again. Luis has no feel for pitching changes.



The Mets are playing a AAA-level team (plus a superstar) and have given up 7 runs in 4+ innings.

[Frayed Knot]

McNeil, surprised at being sent ... but not as surprised as the Nats.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gotta win this one. Javy to PH here

[Frayed Knot]

And because Baez is a PH, this does NOT count as a mound visit!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

And he goes on 3 pitches

[Frayed Knot]

The third of which was closer to the 1st base dugout than the plate.



Good thing the Nats delayed the game an extra two minutes to come up with that strategy. No way they could have known how to pitch him otherwise.

2:15 just to get to the 7th inning ... and they started in the 2nd!

[bmfc1]

I'm surprised that he didn't hurt his back more while swinging at a pitch two feet outside.

Something that we knew just from watching:

[Ceetar]

but keeping trying to steal Villar.

[Frayed Knot]

I think Klobositis is one of the side effects of Covid

Pete needs to vaccinate a pitch here.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure it's Villar's aggressiveness (or even necessarily aggressiveness) that has been the major factor.



But hopefully Pete can do his baserunning in a trot.
