Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 It's been so long since we won a game following an IGT that I started (I'm think maybe 2015 but there may be one or two more recent ones that I'm failingto recall) that I almost forgot it was my job to do so for Game 2 tonight.Good to see that the Mad Max franchise is now branching out to include sports contests (because there's already too much originality coming out of Hollywood)Max Fried [10-3; 2.58 ERA, 1.073 WHIP; 122 K; 21 starts] vs Max Scherzer [7-2; 2.13 ERA; 0.925 WHIP; 109 K; 14 starts]7:10 PM EDT, or whenever they can herd all the first game peeps out of there (including the ones hiding under seats trying to invent their own 2-fer-1 deal)and get the new crew in.

whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Actually able to watch this one
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Max could throw a no no. Mets vision in Pa.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Max Fried looks like the elementary school teacher that everyone is suspicious of.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Big at bat for Pete. He comes through with a single to drive in the first run of the game.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Fried might be feeling a bit Vizzy after that face-plant.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 I like this team's ability to capitalize on other teams' fuck ups
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Also, while I'm thinking of it, as I do for every WPIX game, fuck the WPIX games. Took me ten minute of clicking on super dubious links just to find a pirate stream of this one.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Shyeeet, that was a gutsy call by Guillorme!
Methead Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Have I told you lately that I love Guillorme?
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Great, heads up play by Guillorme. It would never have been possible if d"Arnaut would have broke hard as soon as he saw the ball was on the ground. Better baserunning by d'Arnaud and Guillorme would have had to take the easy out at first since Harris was stealing second.Still, Guillorme had the presence of mind to make a risky, phenomenal, play.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 The best part was him reading the whole thing perfectly.He instantly realized he couldn't go for two, then quickly read TdA's bad break, all the time knowing that he had the bail out option at 1B. But what he didn't do was commit to going home ahead of time.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Ruf just brings out the worst in the Brave's defense.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Apparently it's national 'Throw Past 1B' day.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Wow!!Did that look 'clear and convincing' to anyone?
Chad ochoseis Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 I'm watching on GameDay, and Pete definitely looked safe to me.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Wow, the Mets get the call on the review. Even on the replay, I'm not sure Pete ever touched the plate (it was very close). Great effort by both Riley and d'Arnaud, but it' an insurance run to the Mets.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Suxx to leave several potential runs out there ... but we didn't hit a single ball well that whole inning so we kinda were lucky just to get the one R.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Very few things are worth $43 million.Max Scherzer is one of those things.
roger_that Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Nimmo pads his HBP record, leading off the 7th
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 Scherzer is a warrior. What a brilliant performance in a crucial game. Max throws a season high 108 pitches and records 11 strike outs.Be interesting to see who Buck entrusts to finish this game.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Good spot for the SB.You're ahead, push the issue.
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 I think I'm already over the Mychal Givens Experiment.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Posted August 6, 2022 I'm not comfortable with Givens out there. After a week ground out for the 1st out, back to back doubles plate the Braves 1st run.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2022 Author Posted August 6, 2022 Gotta get somebody up besides Joely, no?
