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

[The Hot Corner]

Good Lord. Was Baty running on crutches? He was gunned out by a huge margin.

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't like that send. The RF in this stadium is already playing deep 2B before charging the hit. Then throw in Lindor coming up.



Also don't Ike the head first slide

Baty was out by 20 feet. Short right field at work.

[Edgy MD]

That's one back, anyhow.



Baty was sort of hung out to dry, but I've seen better slides by my uncle wiping out on the dancefloor at a wedding.

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.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. Mets screw up and Yankees screw up worse.

[Edgy MD]

Kiner-Falefa had one job there — to be standing on second.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow, that was......weird.

[Frayed Knot]

Pete scores on that hit if he doesn't stumble/stop, but that's a total bonehead move by Gleyber Torres (who doesn't seem like a high-IQ player overall).

I dunno. He's the second cut-off and there was no reason to think there'd be a play at 2nd.

Torres seemed to lose track of where Pete was so went for the out at 2B

[nymr83]

Lugo got Judge there and then got him again when the umpire missed it.

[kcmets]

I know the TV booth (which I love) tries to be objective, but mentioning a

457 foot homerun a dozen times is a bit much. It was a home run. Yay.

[Frayed Knot]

HP Ump ain't doing Lugo any favors this inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Another less than genius move by Torres.

That's one of those, dumb even if you make it plays.





More pitches than you'd like to see from Lugo (not entirely his fault) particularly if he's looking to go another inning here.

If there's a second cutoff, it's the firstbaseman's job. If he's positioned there by design, that's a waste of a player.

1B is the cut off going home.

You could see by the overhead shot they showed, IKF (as his friends call him) was at 2nd until he realized there was not

going to be a play there at which point he moved to back Torres.

[Edgy MD]

Not sure why Baty didn't tag. If that ball is gone, he walks home. If it drops, it's little more than a trot home.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Steve Gelbs, never tell me the odds.

[Frayed Knot]

Having Gelbs give both the pre-game odds and the updated in-game odds should be beneath SNY.

Apparently it isn't.

[Edgy MD]

A very bunty evening.

All the more reason MLB needs regulatory oversight.

[Edgy MD]

And Pete was too aggressive. That was Marte's ball.



And now it costs the Mets the go-ahead run.

[Frayed Knot]

Two shoulda outs turned into zero outs.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Did anyone not see that coming when Rodriguez entered the game?

That's on Marte then.

Notice how Gary used to do the odds but sounded like he was being made to eat his vegetables? He doesn't do the odds anymore; I wonder if he said he didn't want to do it.

[Frayed Knot]

Good for Gary if that's the case.

[bmfc1]

Buck doesn't keep Lugo for a 2d inning and things go to hell.

[Lefty Specialist]

This bullpen is just an exercise in frustration, Diaz excepted.
