2-week notice IGT 8/26

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Mass resignations have begun affecting the Met Fan Base but there's still time to make them regret those decisions before they clean out their cubicles and meet with Sarah in HR for their exit interviews.



Interestingly, many seem interested in applying to be Giants fans, but only following tonight's thrilling matchup between visitors' Alex Wood (10-4, 4.11) and Carlos Carrasco (0-2, 8.82).



DON'T MISS A PITCH

[G-Fafif]

I'll be there to pay my last respects to the pennant race…or to begin to clear my throat for the biggest mea culpa of modern times.

[Edgy MD]

Somehow, the team is only 10th in grounding into double-plays.

[kcmets]

It's just a number, but 8.82 is a pretty big number.

Carrasco has just been the icing on the Lindor flaming doo-doo pie, hasn't he?

They don't get on base enough to really excel in that dept, plus they've had fewer PA than any other team. 215 fewer than league average.

Plus, only three of their five DPs in this game came via grounders.

[kcmets]

How did Atlanta end up with two days off in a row?

Also 12 doubleheaders, rendering 48 fewer innings to hit into double plays. (minus the extra innings which I'm too lazy to calculate)

[Edgy MD]

There's that, but looking at GDP/(1B+BB+HBP), they're still 10th.

what a stupid lineup.

[kcmets]

CAPS too much? lol

[Ceetar]

Can't sit both Davis and Conforto. I can buy trying to give guys days off if they need it, but you can't struggle to score runs and sit two of your actual hitters.

[bmfc1]

Davis should be playing against a LHP but he got hit in the head last night so that might be something. Luis might have noticed that Pillar is hitting 1.000 against Wood (1 for 1).

[Ceetar]

yeah, I could buy giving Davis the breather but then you gotta leave Conforto in there.

Boys are no longer boys.



Or at least not our Mets boys

[Frayed Knot]

Baez fails to hit into a GiDP.

Didn't he read the script?

[Frayed Knot]

Don't GiDP Mazzy.

We're not going to score anyway so let's at least clear the pitcher's slot.

He has now.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff hitter on once again -- 3rd time in four frames.

Odds of scoring plummet.

[Frayed Knot]

So that's seven DPs in the last 12 innings.

And the reason it's been Only two tonight is that the SFG shift has prevented two more.

[bmfc1]

If it was possible to hit into 2 DPs in one inning the Mets would do it.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

How many times do you think Zimmo has arrived at 2nd base in his life? You'd figure he'd have an idea about timing his slide by now

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Also, another clear misapplication of the dumbass replay rules. #WhyIQuit

[Frayed Knot]

ABSURD



If they're going to stop the game for three minutes to reverse that then I'd prefer to go back to no replay at all.

I'll take three incorrect calls per game over that shit.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hustle double now for Baez, and he stays attached to the bag

[Edgy MD]

Nice job, but I suspect Crawdaddy has lost a step up the middle.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I don't think that massive hr was fair
