IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

[ashie62]

David Peterson is getting another start in Taijuan Walker's spot.



David could go a long way toward making it his own spot.



Mets were home for just six games all season and are now out west.



Wait until the schedule turns in the Mets favor. That'll show em!

It's so weird, because we're clearly, unquestionably, the best team in baseball, but yet B-R gives the 6-8, 4 games back Braves an 88% chance to win the division. Pfft. That's some bullshit. Let's squish the Snakes.

[Edgy MD]

Lunchbucket and family are taking this one in from field level, 25 rows up on the third-base side.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm hoping Buck keeps them focused. After the Giants series it'd be easy to have a letdown.

[Edgy MD]

A classic piece of baseball wisdom: If you're lucky enough to have a guy named "Marte," be sure to bat him second.

[Fman99]

Man, fuck the 9:40 PM start. I'll be lucky to get 3 innings of this game in. Stupid spherical planet

[Edgy MD]

Well, that was an ineffectual start.

[Edgy MD]

But Peterson makes even quicker work of it, getting the side on 10 pitches.

[Edgy MD]

For some reason, the booth has gone dead for my feed, and I'm getting the game with no announcers.

[The Hot Corner]

I hate late night (WC) starts. At least, it's the weekend. Don't know how long I will last. Let's Go Mets!

[Edgy MD]

Fifteen up and fifteen down.



At this rate, you won't have to hang in there very long.

[nymr83]

SHIFT THAT!

[Edgy MD]

Exactly.



Is there anything the Mets are doing more effectively and intentionally this year more than beating the shift?

[Edgy MD]

Waiter, I'd like to order a pop single against the shift to tie it.

[The Hot Corner]

Pete really crushed that RBI single.

[Edgy MD]

Robbie swings at the trash.

[Gwreck]

Don't think it was coincidental that Gary mentioning the need to cut the roster by 2 players as Cano looks bad striking out.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

He really looked terrible there, didn't he?

[Edgy MD]

Gallen has the curve working tonight, in fairness, but Canó looked like he had never seen a curve.

[Edgy MD]

Ollie Perez in the house.



Backs loosen up on the shift this time around with Nimmo and he still cracked it through the left side.

[Edgy MD]

And Nimmo goes all Babe Ruth and goes from first to third on a single to left!



Barely made it in there.

[Edgy MD]

Infield is back, Lindy. Squeeze it!

[Edgy MD]

Mets take the lead!



Mr. Smile has been Mr. Productive Out this evening.

[The Hot Corner]

more aggressive baserunning by the Mets puts runners on second and third with no outs against Ollie Perez.

[The Hot Corner]

Nice at bat fro Lindor to bring in the lead run/

[Fman99]

Gutsy baserunning by Nimmo there. I think 90% of the time you're getting gunned down at 3rd on a ball to left. Worked out this time though. Put the pressure on, I dig it.

[The Hot Corner]

Pete with another ball crushed to the right side to drive ina run.

[Edgy MD]

Drew Smith unironically dealing heat.

[Edgy MD]

McCann summoning his inner J.D. Davis!!

[Edgy MD]

I love that Seth Beer, despite hitting .400, runs like somebody named Seth Beer.
