IGT 9/3/2021: NYM@WAS — Don’t Pitch to Soto

[The Hot Corner]

I feel your pain Edgy. No Nationals games for me. My son lives in Wilmington, NC and he can see the Mets against Washington. He's blacked out against the Braves.

Laz Diaz is the Angel Hernandez of CB Bucknors.

[bmfc1]

Dom is on the Bereavement List which lasts for a minimum of 3 days and it appears that the Mets cannot replace him.

Oakland put Frankie Montas on the Restricted List under the "unusual circumstances" provision for 3 days as there is a visa reason why he cannot travel with the team to TOR. He is between starts anyway so OAK uses the rule to get an extra player that they otherwise wouldn't have.

More whining.

A most disappointing pair of ABs by Lindor and Alonso

[Frayed Knot]

Wouldn't mind seeing Lugo get a 2nd inning if his spot in the order doesn't come up in this half.

[bmfc1]

Agreed. May may still be exhausted after his attempt at that pop-up last night.

[Frayed Knot]

Not the way I would have gone for the 8th, but it worked.

[Edgy MD]

Just because going into the four-corners offense starting in the fourth inning is working so far doesn't mean it's a good idea. Let's get some sticks out and tack on.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't overturn this ... but I'm betting they will.





oe: Nope

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I have to watch with the sound off. Are they saying he got tagged sliding off the bag, because it looked like he beat the throw.

[Edgy MD]

Shmoto on the first pitch of the ninth.

Gulp.

[Frayed Knot]

The BB to Zimmerman was worse than the Soto HR

[Edgy MD]

Oh smlurp!

[bmfc1]

I'm not even there and it's gonna happen again.

No doubt.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Rats.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This seems bad

[Frayed Knot]

A more accurate throw and he's dead at the plate ... or a catch in CF and it's a game-ending DP

[Fman99]

Well that was sucky

[kcmets]

Magic Eight Ball, will this end well?



"Not Likely"

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Man on third, one out. Hard to be optimistic about this one.



OE: Apologies to Mr. Diaz. Sort of.

If the Mets make it to the 10th, it's Alonso/Baez/Conforto, with Lindor opening the inning on second.

[Frayed Knot]

Survive and advance.

Got the first part ...

And to do some Monday-morning quarterbacking, it may well have been so had Almora been sent in for defense.

Maybe, although I doubt it.

Plus I'm not pulling Nimmo in a 2-run game
