IGT 08/18 - Mets at San Fran - Back to Mediocrity

[Frayed Knot]

Our odds of scoring a run just rocketed to well over 3%

[Edgy MD]

Maybe the odds aren't there to suggest a seventh consecutive pitcher is going to be on his game.

[Edgy MD]

All tied up!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sac fly! We're on the board.



Prepare to be walked off

[ashie62]

Feels like a good bowel movement!

[Edgy MD]

Good God, Crawford is everything fools think Derek Jeter was.

[kcmets]

Serious Crawford leather flashin' there.

[Frayed Knot]

Actually Gary, had Conforto been running it's likely they run into a DP on account of a fielder covering 2nd

[Frayed Knot]

Third Xtra innings game in six

[Edgy MD]

It must feel awesome to strike out any guy with the name Yastrzemski.

[kcmets]

Had a feeling we were going to be Yazz'd, but rather we were Diazz'd.



Fake runners nonsense again. Yay.

[Frayed Knot]

Isn't this, like, the 11th lefty hurler the Giants have used in this game?

[kcmets]

Bifl

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

BiFL

[Gwreck]

Playing for one run in the top of the 10th is a fool's errand.

[Edgy MD]

Giants bringing the gloves like champs.

Also the Mets are very bad at it.

[Frayed Knot]

And, as usual, the problem with the bunt strategy is that its proponents pre-assume success even as success rates plummet.

[kcmets]

Diazz back out, this will likely not end well.

[Frayed Knot]

Giants take a different route to moving the runner to 3rd.

Now granted there's a difference between Posey & Mazeika

[Edgy MD]

Watch out for the wild pitch.

[Edgy MD]

Alright, Diaz!

Attn Luis Rojas:



Under these idiotic rules, the correct strategy is for the visiting team to play for 2 runs, not 1. Please adjust accordingly.



Thanks for your cooperation.

[Frayed Knot]

Give it up for E.D.

[kcmets]

On to the 11th, let's not do anything stupid like bunting again.

[MFS62]

This must be how the noblemen felt as they were on the guillotine, waiting for the blade to drop.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Conforto suddenly seems to have a hitch in his swing.

[Edgy MD]

No hitch in that swing!

[Frayed Knot]

An actual RBI Hit!

How come we know that but the Manager, the Bench Coach, and the 6 or so other Coaches on the bench don't? No one told him, "Maz can't bunt" and "Maz is a good contact hitter and a lefty".
