IGT 7/5/22 To the Max

[Edgy MD]

So, Gelbs was on the Covid-IL.



All that talent in the studio and they couldn't give the Mets an alternate sideline reporter.

[Edgy MD]

That's the way to cooperate, Matt Reynolds.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I had high hopes for Matt Reynolds at one time. Was a good hitter who could play shortstop at a big kollege (Arkansas) and Mets/Sandy made him a pretty high pick

[kcmets]

Max seems pretty scherzery.

[Edgy MD]

Not-Looking-Smarte getting caught in no-man's land.

[Lefty Specialist]

Mets not exactly making it tough on this rookie.

[Fman99]

Max is giving a big "eat foo" to this Reds lineup.

[Edgy MD]

Lodolo at 52 pitches through three. Maxwell at 41.

[kcmets]

Diggin' Max, I know you all are too but afraid to say...

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets just can't seem to get out their own way against the Reds young lefty. Meanwhile, Mad Max is like he never left. Give that man some support people.

[Edgy MD]

Getting some goofy checked-swing calls called against the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Lodi is gassed.

[kcmets]

I like the Reds uniforms this evening.

[Edgy MD]

And JayDee can't capitalize.



I'm calling it. YOLO is out.

[Edgy MD]

Strangely, I'm wrong.

[Edgy MD]

Go play polo, Lodolo.

[Lefty Specialist]

Finally into the 'incendiary bullpen.'

[kcmets]

Max maxzin' through five

After Scherzer K's the side in the fifth, it'd be nice to light up that incendiary bullpen for a lead.

[The Hot Corner]

Cahna on second on a gift of a hit? The Mets need to get Cahna in.

[kcmets]

Scherzery, it's a thing!

[Lefty Specialist]

Anybody else on the Rumble Ponies like this guy?

[Edgy MD]

The goofy thing is that both of Scherzer's AA rehab opponents did better against him than the Reds are doing.

[Edgy MD]

Davis either ain't seeing the ball or is just guessing wrong over and over. His at-bats this week have been what Gary calls "non-competitive."

[Frayed Knot]

JDD's MLB-leading 'Hard hit pct' doesn't do us any good if he's only putting the ball in play once or twice a week.





And speaking of hard hit, does either team have one tonight?

Not that I can recall.

[The Hot Corner]

I don't understand why anyone throws J.D. anything other than a steady diet of fastballs up in the zone. He just seems clueless and over matched by fastballs up in the zone.



McCann just looks clueless and overmatched by virtually all pitches.

[Lefty Specialist]

McCann's 'No hit percentage' keeps rising. Any rental catchers available at the deadline?

Marte had a hard line drive single (I believe 109 mph off the bat), but that is about it for the night.

McCan't.

Gary also made this point on the broadcast. JD is not earning his playing time.
