IGT 07/06, Mets at Cincy, Turn Up the Night

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

McCANN makes 'em pay!

[bmfc1]

Nido + McCann each got a hit tonight. Is there a blue moon?

Until it's not

The Mets are also down to one guy on the bench, so if there's any extra-curricular jousting, they need to not get more than one guy tossed.



Does J.D. Davis replace Pete at first or does Dom abandon the DH slot?

[Gwreck]

Great to see James finally contribute offensively.

He's had so many doubles since his return we should call him DDom Smith

[Edgy MD]

A strange surplus of popping up by the Mets of recent vintage.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

"Nimmo" with a three-run "homer."

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Zimmo busts it wide open!

[bmfc1]

Now THERE'S an All-Star!



How many rows deep is that HR in New Yankee Stadium?

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo steals the save opportunity right off of Diaz's plate.

[Lefty Specialist]

ZIMMO! Finally some hits!

lololo

[Frayed Knot]

Nimmo opens (2nd inning, game 1) and, (hopefully) closes, this series with 3R HRs

[Lefty Specialist]

There's that incendiary bullpen we were looking for.

“Yes, I would like to return your quote-unquote ‘ultimate' belt.”



“I see. Do you have a receipt, quote-unquote ‘sir'?”

[Edgy MD]

I like how Diaz has his number on his belt.

Diaz don't look like he wants to save any for the Marlins.

[Edgy MD]

Pham had one nubbed foul. The only "contact" Diaz "gave up."



Shmig win.

So, should one of us call him?

[Lefty Specialist]

lol. Not that I wasn't tempted to shut it off myself.

And the non-incindiary bullpen we weren't looking for:

6-1/3, 0 runs, 1 hit, 2 BB, 9 K

[Edgy MD]

Strange to see a post-game on-field interview by Gelbs on the road.



Win goes to Ottavino, who mowed 'em down in the ninth in a manner that spoke for itself.

[MFS62]

My reverse psychology worked.

In a slump?

Just have MFS62 say they suck and they do well.

Works every time, which is why I'm terrible in those prediction threads.

I'll just have to say the whole team sucks going into the Braves series.

You can thank me ....

Later

[Edgy MD]

I'm trying to figure out if Dom Smith's double would have been an out if the Reds had Dom Smith playing first.

[Edgy MD]

The 3-0 pitch to Dom leading off the eighth:

Strike one.

I hereby recind my demand to trade Smith for Pham during the 7th inning stretch.

In “fairness” to the umpire, was ball 2 really a strike?

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure that's exactly fairness, strictly speaking (two wrongs and all), but in fairness, yeah, "ball 2" prol'ly was a "strike."
