IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

[Edgy MD]

Taijuan returns to the lineup, along with Tomás. The rest of the lineup is pretty stable, with the Mets still riding Canha's hotness and Tyler Naquin still riding pine.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder when/if Escobar is going to displace Baty.

[Lefty Specialist]

Never thought I'd be so glad to see Tomas Nido back. Baty's a nice story, but he may need a bit more seasoning. Not sure platooning him with Escobar is the right way to go, not that Escobar's any world-beater himself this year.

[ashie62]

Yanquis suck

[The Hot Corner]

Need Vogelbach to pick up Pete here.

[Frayed Knot]

These 1st inning mound visits would be banned under my MLB dictatorship (Yanx did it last night too,).

Nice to hear GKR agreeing.

[ashie62]

Wasted opportunity

[The Hot Corner]

Not scoring there could prove very costly.

[TransMonk]

Does Pete need a night off?

[Frayed Knot]

Nice 6 pitch bottom 1st for Tie-one-on

Now Montas goes right back in the soup after his near 30 pitch effort with hardly a break at all.

Wasted opportunity

[Frayed Knot]

Whole Lotta weak contact so far ... even by the guys getting on base.

[bmfc1]

I'm surprised that Pete's bat made contact with his knee.

[Lefty Specialist]

They let Montas off the hook early, and now it's biting them.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil seems to be getting better on the turn all the time.

[Edgy MD]

We have some rare 99-on-99 action here.

[Edgy MD]

And the wrong 99 wins.

[nymr83]

That was a blast, was hoping Walker would just throw one in the dirt on 3-2 and let someone else beat him.

[Edgy MD]

Agreed. That pitch never really had much of a chance.

[Edgy MD]

Ball four to Donaldson there was a strike.



In fact, that's the pitch he ought to have thrown to Judgy if he had to throw a fastball.

[nymr83]

Crap.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Taiweezy is fighting himself.

[nymr83]

How do you not challenge thw rookie with a strike there?

[Frayed Knot]

This all went to shit in a hurry.

[bmfc1]

I understand that Jake's rest is important and I get that in the grand scheme of things the game against COL means the same as the game against NYY BUT it would have been nice to see Jake tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

But none of this matters if we're going to flail at pitches all night like the did yesterday. Right now they're a Vogelbach swing away from looking at a double shutout.

[Frayed Knot]

Canha with the first decent contact of the game.

And now the catcher's interference is the second.

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets really need to cash in this inning.

[bmfc1]

Someone that young should be faster.
