Hill (6-5, 4.13)

[MFS62]

A team that (on paper) it looks like they have a chance against.

But these are the Mets, so hold your breath.



Later

[Fman99]

Delayed. Poop

[Frayed Knot]

Stranding the leadoff single on 1st ... what a concept!!

[Frayed Knot]

And if Lindor had bunted the game would be tied.

I asked a machine learning algorithm, CLIP Guided Diffusion, for a "Mets baseball game on Mercury" and gave it a shot of Citi Field to start with..







what, did you want to talk about the actual game?

[Frayed Knot]

So four good innings out of five for Hill on the hill.

The one inning was pretty ugly but he did a decent job of at least limiting the damage.



Now we just need some of those runs things I've heard so much about.

[Frayed Knot]

There is a glimmer of good news: we're into the Nats' bullpen

[Edgy MD]

Remember multi-run innings?



How many games can you think of in August with more than one multi-run inning?

[Frayed Knot]

Lindor is essentially this NYM era's version of Beltran ... except that he's not as smart a player.

No

[Frayed Knot]

Another non-definitive replay reversal.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey here's a good idea, let's get three hit in a game we really need by a team mailing it in.

[Edgy MD]

No hits in the game since the Baez homer in the fourth.



Efficient!

you mean one of the best players in the game at his position?

[Frayed Knot]

Another PH appearance = another mound visit from the PC

[Edgy MD]

Let's see what angry McNeil can do here.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, he dropped one in!



Not so much an angry hit, but whatever!

Yes, but the brains of the operation haven't caught up to the talent level yet.

Now granted, Beltran was older when he came here but, unlike Lindor, he wasn't bunting with two outs and no one on base while passing up the opportunity to bunt in an earlier AB

while leading off the inning when they were giving him one entire side of the infield. Instead he simply pulled the ball into the shift on the first pitch and was an easy out. Baez HR'd

on the next pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

One bloop and three balls that never left the infield.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

The damn Nationals aren't even trying to win, and we still can't beat them.

[Frayed Knot]

You can't go 9 innings vs a Nats pitching staff minus Scherzer, Strasberg, Corbin, Gio Gonzalez, and most of their relieving corps and tally one run and expect to compete for anything.

[Edgy MD]

Pinch-run Stro' for Pete.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We got this

[Frayed Knot]

I'd normally consider the walk to be a good thing but getting the leadoff guy on seems to decrease our odds of scoring.

[Edgy MD]

Lindor chasing 1-0 is eeeevil.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Lindor swinging at pitches at his ankles.

[Frayed Knot]

Pathetic

Four hits.
