IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

On game two, Trevor Williams, 0-2, 4.20, faces TBD.



So I was driving today and had time to listen to the rest of John Denver's Greatest Hits. You are spot on that the orchestration piled on the mix didn't help the songs.

For the 2d game in a row, the Mets' baserunning is overproduced. In G1, Lindor tried for an extra-base with a runner on 3d and Pete on deck. G2 begins with Nimmo, who had the LFers good play in front of him, running himself into an out.

[Edgy MD]

It's a rare thing when the 2022 Mets lose the first inning.

[Edgy MD]

Blach seems to go to his hat and his crotch on every pitch. I'm not saying, but I'm saying.



Mets getting baserunners the first two innings, but runs have yet to be.

[Edgy MD]

Nido knocks in Escobar as Davis goes first to third.



That's three slumping hitters hitting their way on base there.

[Fman99]

Metsies get those runs right back.



As for overproduced music of the early 1970s, it's all Phil Spector's fault. I still long for the day that a de-mushed full release of "All Things Must Pass" makes its way to the masses.

Trevor Williams?



this is gonna be classic Coors slug fest looks like.

[Edgy MD]

Whatever magic Lugo figured out to make his breaking stuff work in Colorado, it doesn't look like Williams absorbed it.

[Edgy MD]

Lindor is swinging for the fences a lot these days.

[Edgy MD]

What an inning for Rogers.

[Edgy MD]

Adonis Medina is about six inches short of Miguel Castro and pretty close to being just as many MPH short in his fastball, but he has similar stuff and better control.



I look for him to stick.

[Edgy MD]

And Mr. Sticky has stuck himself into a bases-loaded situation.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Got out of that jam!

[Edgy MD]

Goudeau is a quicker worker than I would have expected.



He seems to me to be the kind of guy who'd make the batter wait.

[Edgy MD]

"It was going to be a routine play for Rogers." — Gary Cohen



Gary, there haven't been a lot of routine plays for Rogers.



Either way, back within a run.

[nymr83]

i would hit Smith for Nido here.

[Edgy MD]

Interesting that they're letting him bat.

[Edgy MD]

And it doesn't matter much if J.D. is getting thrown out on the bases.

[kcmets]

Ending an inning with a caught-stealing. Not cool.

[nymr83]

...or we could just end the inning by getting caught stealing against a pitcher who had yet to throw a ball in the strike zone. cool.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah that was some bullshit from JDD

[Edgy MD]

I'd've been tempted to pinch-hit too, but it's the sixth-inning of a one-run ball-game. But it's the sixth, and that's a pretty early spot to put your last catcher into the game, and commit to a lefty in that spot going forward, in furtherance of an attempt to plate a guy from first with two out.



But obviously, it's academic now.

[Fman99]

I wonder why Medina got trotted out for a second inning given his very shaky 5th. I know its a doubleheader but still

[nymr83]

we're all playing AL baseball now though, there may be no better chance to use Smith for Nido - particularly as they had just announced the righty pitcher and couldnt pull him

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

neither funky nor cold

[Edgy MD]

Well, now we're playing catchup baseball as the Rox go up 8-3.

[nymr83]

that got out of hand quickly.

[Edgy MD]

Medina needs to bust a move out of this game.
