IGT 08/19 Mets at L.A.(N) - Building Momentum

[MFS62]

Night game in Chavez Ravine.

How low must have Chavez' self-esteem been that he felt he had to name a ravine after himself?



PITCHING PROBABLES:

Mets: Taijuan Walker (7-7, 3.75 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 110 strikeouts)

L.A.: Walker Buehler (12-2, 2.10 ERA, .93 WHIP, 162 strikeouts)





We got this.

We weren't happy about the 9:45 PM starts in SF but those look better in comparison with a 10:10 PM start.

[Frayed Knot]

More than a few of us here are old enough to remember the days of 11 PM starts from the west coast.

Of course those games probably still ended around the same time as today's 10:10 face-offs, but at least now it's easier to catch the beginnings of games.

Buehler has been moved back to Friday. Dodgers throwing a “bullpen game” tonight.

[MFS62]

MLB.com takes me to Yahoo sports, which still isn't showing the starter for L.A.

mlb.com takes me to mlb.com, not Yahoo lol. Gameday still showing TBD.



Dodgers are kinda hot, hope we're not waltzing into a buzz saw.

Buehler was in court all day, testifying in his sexual harassment case. According to WCBS Radio, he won the case, and the Judge did not grant a restraining order against him.

You're mixing up Buehler with Bauer.

[Edgy MD]

No momentum here as the Mets get on the board and knock out the starter (in the third?).

[Edgy MD]

Zodd Teile's whiskey voice is something.



Mary Hart and Burt Sugarman are in the house. Burt, so far, is awake.

[Edgy MD]

And J.D. adds to the Mets' baserunning negatives. Or subtracts from.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Bunch of hard hit balls that inning anyway

[Edgy MD]

Good challenge by Metties, but run lost to McTurncoat.

[bmfc1]

JD hurts the Mets with his baserunning mistake and then in the field AND THEN blames Pete for not catching the ball:

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo is, like, one of those grownup centerfielders.

[Edgy MD]

Todd and Gelbs stepping all over each other this game.

[Trevor Bauer] was in court all day, testifying in his sexual harassment case. According to WCBS Radio, he won the case, and the Judge did not grant a restraining order against him. Not surprised at all. I thought the accuser was full of shit from the first reports. It was even worse than wHat was first reported. She may have doctored up photos to make her quote injuries appear worse.

This game sucks.



The woman apparently texted Bauer "gimme all the pain" after their first encounter and before their [voluntary] second one.



He is a sicko. so is she. She either had regrets or saw an opportunity to settle for $$$ with a rich dude. he should have known better given his celebrity.

[Edgy MD]

DJs are on pitcher #6. Let's get chasey.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil looks like quite the psycho in the dugout.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Head up his ass

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I can't believe I made it to the 9th. Mets almost look good but really aren't.



Not putting it past em to tease here

[Edgy MD]

Doing the crossword in between innings and ... good omen!

Kudos to the Mets for trying to stay positive and throwing the ball well, per their dependable postloss remarks.
