IGT 04/26 - NYM @ STL

[Edgy MD]

One thing I credit Tony Larussa for: When one of his players would hit a batter up high, nobody had to charge the mound, and nobody had to warn the benches, because Tony would go out on the mound and scream at his player.

I read Buzz Bissinger's mostly bad book on LaRussa and there was an interesting section where one of the Cardinals got hit so LaRussa reviewed their lineup to find an equivalent player and did the same.

[Edgy MD]

Sort of was suspecting Alonso was going to be pinch-run for there.

I'm fine with Arenado getting one in the backside tomorrow.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I don't know if it's the camera angle, but the movement on Ottavino's pitches are incredible.

Let's

Go

Mets!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Impressed w/ Ottavino that inning.



Cardinals look desperate and angry. Winning this one will badly wound them.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Karma looks like it is finally visiting deJong

[Edgy MD]

Squeeze, McCann!

[kcmets]

It's fun watching infielders forgetting what they learned in little league.

[Edgy MD]

Shoulda squozen.

[Frayed Knot]

This is where one of the Mofo-ites complains that McCann should have 'saved one of his hits' for that AB

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo looks at every pitch till he walks

[Frayed Knot]

Break it open Starling

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I don't think that was intentional

I'm not sure, and I know he doesn't live in the St. Louis area, but I thought I saw Buzz in the box seats during this game.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

A kaslammy here would be sweet

[bmfc1]

The leadoff batter for STL tomorrow needs to eat some dirt. Then play the game and kick their butts.

Or do that. I'm not picky.

[kcmets]

Let's get three outs!

[Edgy MD]

I hope Loogy is staying loose.

[Lefty Specialist]

Things not to do when trying to save a 3-run lead:



1) Walk the leadoff hitter on 4 pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Thanks for swinging at the first pitch, Bader and DeJong.

[Edgy MD]

Not really seeing Díaz usual fastball speed or slider movement.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Boooooks

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

WOW!!!

[kcmets]

Down to their final out and strike. What could happen.



Joking, of course.

[kcmets]

You all have faster TV than me.

[Edgy MD]

Not hitting as consistently as prior series, but ... the train kept a-rollin'.
