IGT 7/26/22 Lovable Amazin Mets v Yanquis

[Lefty Specialist]

OK, Taijuan, let's have a shutdown inning.

[Lefty Specialist]

Um....

[Frayed Knot]

Has a successful pickoff ever NOT been followed by the manager asking for a delay while his team checks with their video guy?

[ashie62]

Walker making his case for a gold glove.

[roger_that]

Pretty intimidating right back.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Wow. I got discouraged after the top of the first , got some chores done, checked, and life is good again!

Like maybe now.

[Frayed Knot]

Four-plus innings worth of pitches for Montgomery but with no outs yet recorded in the 3rd.

And this is with him getting ahead of nearly everyone and just now issuing his first walk.

[Lefty Specialist]

And he's out after 2 1/3 innings. Let's see the underbelly of this bullpen.

[Lefty Specialist]

Easy to get outs when you're helped by dumb baserunning.

[Frayed Knot]

The upside of "stealing" an extra base in that situation is so small that you have to know you're going to make it.

Dumb play.

[kcmets]

I think YES has hacked SNY!

[Edgy MD]

McNugget should've gone for the tag. Falafel over-slid the bag summat.

[Frayed Knot]

Real trouble here despite One ball leaving the IF

[kcmets]

SlamBOOM-bullets dodged.

[Lefty Specialist]

Rizzo just a few feet from a grand slam there. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

[Frayed Knot]

That inning should have been a bit better but could have been a whole lot worse!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Listening while I'm getting steps on the trail near my house. When Wayne was describing the ball going deeper and deeper I hunched over, then heard the catch and let out a cheer - not realizing there was a woman and her dog about 10 feet behind me. So both of us got a scare, for different reasons. Probably the dog, too. Both gave me a look as they passed.

[Lefty Specialist]

Dog was probably a Yankee fan.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon Nimmo has been uncharacteristically swinging at a lot of garbage of late, and may need a day off to help him get right.

[Edgy MD]

Matt Carpenter is 0-for-3.



This drops his OPS to 1.233.

[Lefty Specialist]

Tightrope Walker makes it thru 5.

[Edgy MD]

It's a good time to tack on here if the Yanks are serious about bringing in Loaisiga against the heart of the Mets order.



Elsewise, there's a damn good chance that this game comes down to Judge vs. Diaz in the ninth.

Not all dogs are Yanqui fans but most Yanqui fans are dogs.

[Edgy MD]

Sweet catch by Canha, but allow me to once again reject porches going up against the foul line in the outfield.



No one should have to slide to save themselves from wall trauma on a popup in fair territory.

[Lefty Specialist]

Lugo warming up does not give me cahnfidence. Need more runs.

[Gwreck]

Ottavino needs to come in for the 7th against the top of the lineup. Not Lugo.

[Lefty Specialist]

9 outs to get.

[Frayed Knot]

Boone seemed to get about 45 seconds to challenge that call.
