The SHaMs are back! IGT 7/22/22

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Well here we are, and the lineup is posted, for SHaM opening day!



Here's something. It's Darvish against Scherzer, and Travis Blankenhorn is the DH, who replaces Dom "maybe we should traded him sooner after all" Smith.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo

Marte

Lindor

Alonso

McNeil

Escobar

Guillorme

BLANKENHORN DH

Nido



That 8-9? That's pretty SHaMmy, right there.

[G-Fafif]

May the SHaMs pick up where the FHaMs left off (except for the last game).

[kcmets]

Good for Blankenhorn, hit long and prosper.

[G-Fafif]

With positions…

[kcmets]

Rain delay, 20% chance of showers according to radar.

[kcmets]

7:40 start - fake rain

[Fman99]

While the Eff-Hams were great, I'm every bit the SHaMs fan. Always have been.

[kcmets]

Finally at ~7:46 pm we are rolling...

[Frayed Knot]

You know that Nimmo ran a lot farther on his foul pop out than Machado did on his.

[Fman99]

Vogelbach apparently not in uniform but expected to be available for tomorrow.

[Lefty Specialist]

Max reaaly fighting himself tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd feel more OK with this two run deficit if we were getting even a sniff off Darvish.

[Fman99]

Every hot girl sideline reporter is better than Gelbs. Including this girl.

[Edgy MD]

A good day for bunting against the shift, gents.

[kcmets]

Game's kinda sucking through five.

[Edgy MD]

Max Scherzer > Bob Gibson.

[Frayed Knot]

If Lindor were swinging a canoe paddle he'd have 3 K's tonight. He hasn't come close to anything Darvish has thrown.

[Fman99]

So far so meh

Doesn't seem to have an idea what's coming at all.



Your team chasing pitches when down is a frustrating thing to watch.

[Edgy MD]

I think James Hoye is texting behind home plate.

[kcmets]

Strike zones come and strike zones go.

[Edgy MD]

I think the reason Mazeika didn't make that catch is that his shinguard snagged on the warning track dirt. That could be a bad recipe.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not even sure Mazeika got the force out at the plate on that failed DP.

[bmfc1]

Nick Dini, C, former Royal, has left tonight's game for Syracuse. "Hey Dini, would you come out tonight?

Things are not feeling too SHaMs-y

[Edgy MD]

The day that the Mets decide that Smith isn't hitting enough to validate keeping him as Pete's glove caddy, in part because Pete's glove is good enough ... Pete's glove suddenly isn't good enough.

[kcmets]

Sentiment is not gonna score us four runs or better.

[The Hot Corner]

Pete made a nice stop and throw to get the lead runner at the plate. However, as Keith pointed out, he failed to give a target in foul territory which made the return throw much more difficult for Mazeika.

[Fman99]

Mets finally on the board thanks to Guillorme
