IGT 9/4/2022: WAS@NYM — Nat Splat

[Edgy MD]

That just hurt all parts of my body.

[Willets Point]

Why was McNeil on the infield grass instead of running for 3rd. I'm confused.

[Edgy MD]

He didn't run because he assumed an out.



He was standing on the grass, because after the ball dropped, he was explicitly called out on a force at third.

Yeah , LGM!

[Willets Point]

Geesh. After a day like today if I'm the Mets I'm gonna want to go hide away in Pittsburgh.

[ashie62]

Done

[Edgy MD]

Shmoot.



Even Canha first-pitch swinging in the ninth down six.

[ashie62]

Shut up Keith

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

So far the easy part of the schedule ain't that easy.



I'm more worried about lack of offense than the pitching. Hi

[The Hot Corner]

The offense really struggled and failed to score against a pitching staff that has been roughed up most of the year. If Scherzer's ailment to his left side turns out to be significant then I am worried about the pitching as well.



While the Mets lost this series against the last place Nationals, the Braves are currently putting the finishing touches on a 3 game sweep of the Marlins. The Braves lead 4-0 going into the 8th.

How they can win 2 out of 3 from the best team in baseball and then lose 2 out of 3 to the worst team in baseball is mystifying.

[Frayed Knot]

I call it baseball.

[Edgy MD]

I half expected a letdown, and I'm kind of disappointed that Buck didn't find some time off for the first four guys in his lineup.

Perhaps the mystical woman in the Schaefer voting banner can shed some light

on this unearthly phenomenon.



In the meantime we have an early bird special today at 12:35. Los Bravos are idle.

This is a taste of 2023 as the Mets have an off-day next Labor Day (and Memorial Day, too),

[Willets Point]

This was not a good game to attend for my first Mets game in 3 years.
