IGT 09/13 - Cubbies at Metsies - But it's Jacobday!

What is the purpose of umpires if they are going to make calls they shouldn't (Sunday) and not make calls they should (today)?

[Edgy MD]

Also, McCann hurts himself being positioned in front of the plate, presumably because of the non-blocking rule.

I might also question why the Cubs were allowed 25 minutes to decide on a replacement for the injured player.

There's been some umpiring lulus this year but that one is hard to top.

Not being reviewable is stupid too.

The September 2022 Mets: Making bad teams and non-descript pitchers look good. Now held over for a second sold out week!

[Edgy MD]

Five innings to score three runs?



Totally doable.

[Frayed Knot]

Right now it's taken five innings to get two hits!

Both are singles and one was a rule book hit.

And of the 15 outs, 14 of them have been soft.



But don't worry, we've got that easy schedule coming up (one which is getting increasingly LESS easy by the day)

[Edgy MD]

Four innings to score three runs? Also, totally doable.

[The Hot Corner]

No pitcher can win a game if he team fails to score.



The all or nothing nature of the offense of late is really becoming quite worrisome.

[Edgy MD]

That's it. Just stop swinging and let this guy walk you.



And Jeff didn't listen ... .

[Edgy MD]

Nobody ever grounded into a double-play by taking strike one.

[ashie62]

Scoring three feels like a bridge too far

[Edgy MD]

Three runs in three innings will be tougher.



I'll certainly take one run in the next one inning with great happiness.

[Frayed Knot]

They're just hitting [CROSSOUT]in[/CROSSOUT] bad [CROSSOUT]luck[/CROSSOUT].

[bmfc1]

Did Pete snap the bat over his knee to show us how upset he is?

[Frayed Knot]

Four runs in two [CROSSOUT]innings[/CROSSOUT] games, not currently doable.

[Willets Point]

I hat baseball.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, a lazy ass pop up.

Haven't seen one of those in at least two batters.



And now another!

[Edgy MD]

I could totally score four runs in two innings. More even.

[Frayed Knot]

At least they used that inning to jack up their hard out total to two (out of 21). So that counts as improvement, right?

[Edgy MD]

No, I wouldn't say it does.

[Edgy MD]

Mets are sleepwalking.



Buck should've gotten himself tossed.

[Frayed Knot]

Halfway through that top 8th I had visions of a position player pitching the 9th.

[kcmets]

The solution is to just put up a five-spot NOW!!



We'll laugh about the rest tomorrow.

[Frayed Knot]

Our third single!!!!!!!!

one of the three actually lowered our chances of winning

[Edgy MD]

Two walks for Nimmo already. A new pitcher who threw a bunch already yesterday.



Take a McStrike.

[Edgy MD]

And he comes out swinging. D'oh!

[ashie62]

Oye



Destroy the spread Buck

[Frayed Knot]

Right now this team would need to improve in order to have the honor of being called Pathetic.
