IGT 9/12/2021, NYY @ NYM: Take A Nap

[bmfc1]

It's an 8:08 PM start on ESPN in the deciding game of this 3 game series. We can look forward to more of Alex R.'s thoughts on the importance of 9/11.

Clarke Schmidt, not Clark Bar, Clark University, Clark Gable, or Clarke Peters, has been called up to start against the Mets. He started one game for the NYY last year so this is not his debut. As stated down-thread, he's wearing #86.

It's Carlos Carrasco for the Mets. He got through the 1st inning last time but that was an exception this season.

An unimportant thing I noticed: the NYY lineup has players with a "G" initial in each spot from 4 through 8. Not Dylan Gee.



Yankees:

1. DJ LeMahieu ® 2B

2. Anthony Rizzo (L) 1B

3. Aaron Judge ® CF

4. Giancarlo Stanton ® LF

5. Joey Gallo (L) RF

6. Gleyber Torres ® SS

7. Gary Sanchez ® C

8. Gio Urshela ® 3B

9. Clarke Schmidt ® P



METS:

1. Jonathan Villar (S) 3B

2. Francisco Lindor (S) SS

3. Michael Conforto (L) RF

4. Pete Alonso ® 1B

5. Javier Baez ® 2B

6. Jeff McNeil (L) LF

7. Kevin Pillar ® CF

8. James McCann ® C

9. Carlos Carrasco ® P

I know the MFYs had Jack Clark, but I think ya gotta go back to Horace Clarke for the ‘e' version.

[bmfc1]

Seriously? Mr. ESPN is at it again. All of the pertinent information is in my cogent introduction. My non-cogent comments come during the game if the Mets are losing. I'm at my peak right now!

[G-Fafif]

Speaking of ESPN, the US Open men's finals seems to be speeding along, making the need for the 8:08 start seem overcautious (or is this what's known as shooting the clown?).

[Ceetar]

no J.D. Davis again apparently.

[Fman99]

Take a nap every Sunday, bro. So I'm primed to listen to this ESPN shitpeckers.

[Fman99]

Oh these broadcasters fill me with such rage at their banalities. Carrasco not putting guys away is not helping.

[Frayed Knot]

'Hey Judge, while we're young, huh!'

What will end first? This game or the NFL game?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gonna be a long night.



A good -located fastball is the best pitch in baseball, Lee Mazzilli says.



Oh those leadoff walks

[Frayed Knot]

I'm not sure I like this 'Get Behind Early and Often' strategy we've adopted lately.

FK: HA!



LUIS: Stand up for your players.

[Fman99]

Yeah, Conforto, nice hit there.

He said it with such conviction, too.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm having fun listening to Lee talk about

"Cunfawdo"

[Fman99]

For fuck's sake, it's a pitcher with no career ABs. Throw it down the middle.

[Frayed Knot]

Wow! Not getting a runner in from 3rd with < 2 outs

That's unusual.

[Frayed Knot]

But it all worked out in the end.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Lindor!!!



On one hand, it's nice to see ESPN has trouble with Zoom like everyone else. Would have liked to have heard more from Doc. Was nice to hear him giving Carter props for handling those arms.

[Fman99]

HELL YEAH FRANCISCO! Put 12 more on this turkey.

[Fman99]

Carrasco cruising now that we're out of the first inning and they got him a lead. Do your thing Cookie

Monday Night Football might end before this game.

[Frayed Knot]

We only do long fly balls with a runner on 3rd after two are out. It helps cut down on all that messy run-scoring stuff.

[kcmets]

I'm fading already, been a long weekend. I extended my DVR record time

by 90 minutes before, that should get me recorded through maybe the 7th.



Is it in Alex's contract that when addressed by a colleague they must say

his name every single time?

[Edgy MD]

Those acting lessons for Lee Mazzilli may have paid off 30 years ago, but tonight, he sounds he's mumbling from the closet.



I feel like I caught him in public and bothered him for a conversation, but he's really looking at his watch and trying to ditch me as politely as possible, hoping I'll get the hint.

I thought the same thing after hearing him on Friday. He's got a mouthful of scungilli, I assumed.
