IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

[Fman99]

Max Scherzer vs GoT extra Noah Syndergaard, 3:10 start which I like, after missing the entirety of the last two games.

[metirish]

Should be an interesting match-up

Baty and Alvarez.

Let's show them some Syracuse power.

Scherzer is uncharacteristically strike-zone shy.

[Edgy MD]

Thanks for getting Heyward. Two big outs with him and Vargas.



And really, thanks to the Dodgers for batting him fifth.

[Frayed Knot]

Good news: scoreless 1st for Max

Bad news: 1 hit, 2 BB, and 28 pitches to do it

[MFS62]

I can just hear Art Howe or Willie Randolph saying "he battled".

Marte is halfway towards tying a Joe Torre record ... and that's not a good thing.

[Frayed Knot]

1st inning: 28 pitches

2nd & 3rd: 18 combined

[Edgy MD]

Scherzer finding himself nicely.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Whoa! Scherzer ejected for a sticky substance!

Scherzer finding himself illegally

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

So Scherzer's a fraud and Yimmy Jacobonis is on

I hope his fingers don't stick to his "find". That can be painful.

Jimmy Yacobonis is the llast piece to the puzzle.

[Edgy MD]

I was showering. Was Scherzer ejected for arguing or arguing because he was ejected?



It's interesting that all this finger checking occasionally amounts to something.

[MFS62]

The TV advertisers must be practically orgasmic. They have a time delay that isn't limited by the new rules.

How many commercials will they be able to cram into this delay time?

Nimmo homer puts the Mets ahead!

[Frayed Knot]

Tough to remember Nimmo's last poor AB

He's been all over everything every game.

[Edgy MD]

You've got to be smart. If you're going to take goop to the mound, you've got to use your ears.

[ashie62]

Has Scherzer been a total bust?

As Yogi might say, "If you 've got goop in your ears you can't see the signs."



OMG. I'm making up Yogi-isms. The guys in the white coat will be here any minute.

An inning (I think?) prior, they made Max change his glove, which pissed him off. Then they threw him out with the new glove. The radio guys were confused by it. They said they could read Max mouthing "it's rosin, it's rosin" over and over and didn't know why they didn't run him originally if he had a substance.

[Edgy MD]

Age/shmage. The Mets have four hitting prospects on the cusp. If Marte can't do it, Vientos can.

[ashie62]

I'm not trying to troll Max but for all the money? Geez

[Edgy MD]

Nice effort, Jimmy.



Yakabonuses for everybody!

[Edgy MD]

Brigham may be a guy.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Dave Roberts for removing a very effective starter for this guy.

Now they just need one more hit to cash in on the gift.
