Is it possible the Mets have such a potent offense they can win it without Jake or Max?

[Edgy MD]

Possibly, certainly. But, also certainly, less likely than it is that they pull it off with both of those.

[Edgy MD]

Nats swapping out their righthanders for lefties. Mets doing the opposite.

[roger_that]

We were told Nimmo would be ready. Any update there?

[Frayed Knot]

1st inning runs R us.

[bmfc1]

That seems like at least the 2d time this season where Marte thought he had walked but a borderline pitch was called a strike and then he blasted a HR.

[Frayed Knot]

Guillorme came in as if it was going to be a rundown but Pete's delayed throw screwed that up.

[Edgy MD]

This thread is disturbingly Kinkless, if I may say so.



[media=youtube]S2Al7u0cKRk[/media]



Three straight one-out singles load dem bases.

[Edgy MD]

Eduardo Escobar struck out after missing the squeeze sign I was flashing him from Baltimore, but a plunk on Guillorme, and the Mets plate a run.

[Frayed Knot]

2 RBI 1B > 1 RBI HBP

[Edgy MD]

But wait ... there's more?!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Fear the BEARD!

[Frayed Knot]

Gary fell into what is perhaps the most over-used phrase in baseball over the last (10?) years: "I can't believe this replay review is taking this long"



Really? I can.

[Frayed Knot]

Put out for Alonso on the plunked runner.

Best fielding play he's made all night.

[ashie62]

It's my birthday they have to win, or else.

[Frayed Knot]

So on that runner hit by the batted ball play, does the rule say, as Gary stated, that it's Not an out if the ball goes past an infielder or is it only if a ball.passes an infielder who has a chance to make a play on it?



It clearly went past Pete before striking Franco but he just as clearly could not have fielded it.

[Edgy MD]

Or else?



I'm not sure whether to wish you a happy birthday or call the FBI, ash.

Rules 5.06(c)(6), 6.01(a)(11): The concept of the runner being in jeopardy after the ball goes past an infielder and strikes the runner in a situation where another infielder still has a chance to make a play on the ball applies ONLY when the ball PASSES the first infielder without being touched or deflected by him. This concept DOES NOT APPLY if the ball is touched or deflected by the first infielder, even though another infielder has a chance to make a play on the ball. In other words, after a ball has been touched (deflected) by any infielder (including the pitcher), if the ball then strikes a runner (unintentionally on the part of the runner), the ball is alive and in play even if another infielder may be in position to field the ball. See Official Baseball Rules 5.06(c)(6) and 6.01(a)(11). The reasoning for the above concept is that a runner cannot be expected to avoid a deflected ball while running and should not, therefore, be in jeopardy of being called out for being struck by such a deflected ball. Of course, a runner may still be guilty of intentional interference even after an infielder deflects the ball if the runner deliberately deflects the ball or allows it to strike him when he could have reasonably avoided it. The fact that the ball has been deflected by an infielder should not be taken as a license for a runner to interfere intentionally. See Official Baseball Rules 6.01(a)(6) and 6.01(a)(7). After a batted ball has been touched (deflected) by an infielder, if the ball then strikes a runner (unintentionally on the part of the runner), it is alive and in play despite the fact that another infielder may be in position to field the ball. This is not the case if a fielder is making a play on the ball. Specifically, if a batted ball is deflected by an infielder and another infielder has a play on the ball, the runner must avoid the fielder. If the runner interferes with the fielder making a play— even though the ball has been touched by another fielder—the runner is declared out. Under the rules, a fielder making a play on a batted ball takes priority. On the other hand, if a batted ball goes through or by an infielder (other than the pitcher) without touching the fielder and then strikes a runner immediately behind the infielder, the umpire must then determine if another infielder has a chance to make a play on the ball. If the umpire determines another infielder does have a chance, the runner is out. If the umpire determines another infielder does not have a chance, the ball is alive and in play. The interpretation to be made with regard to the phrase “a fair ball goes through, or by, an infielder, and touches a runner immediately back of him” (Official Baseball Rules 6.01(a)(11), 5.06(c)(6)), and 5.09(c)(7)) is that this refers to a ball that passes through the infielder's legs, or by his immediate vicinity, and strikes a runner directly behind the infielder.

There's a lot of umpirial judgment in play here but the keys seem to be the word "through" (and not past) the initial fielder and the umpire's judgment of whether there's another fielder trying to make a play.

[Edgy MD]

Corbin grinding it out, still in the game after allowing 12 baserunners.



Thirteen if you count Guillorme twice.

[Edgy MD]

Everyone's in the hit column tonight except Lindor and Nido.



I'm blacked out in Baltimore. Has anybody spotted Steve J. Rogers on the screen?

[Edgy MD]

Everyone's in the hit column tonight except Lindor [CROSSOUT]and Nido[/CROSSOUT].



Corbin finally mercifully lifted as Cahna approaches with the bags full.

[Frayed Knot]

That rule book wording seems to support my interpretation that it's not as simply cut and dried as Gary's where the ball just needs to 'pass' an IF without regard as to whether or not the ball was field-able ... but it's not all that clear, is it.

[Frayed Knot]

Brandon Who?

[Edgy MD]

And a Cahna double allows them to reach their two-runs-every-other-inning quota.

[Chad ochoseis]

I think that's the only XBH the Mets have had so far besides the Martebomb.

[Frayed Knot]

Well past the two hour mark and not yet thru 5

[Edgy MD]

Holy smokes.

8 runs on 12 singles and 2 extra base hits will do that.
