Mets receive BJ's 6/2 IGT

[Edgy MD]

That Lou Gehrig Day Sticker on the players' jerseys makes it look like they bought their jerseys off the rack and put them on without removing the marketing materials.

Pete's struggles continue

[The Hot Corner]

Cahna with a solid single and a steal of second to open the inning. Alvarez reaches on an erro and the Mets have 1st and 3rd with no out.

[Edgy MD]

I don't like this aggressive version of Nimmo.



Popping up on the first pitch is a deflater.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What a disaster

[Edgy MD]

McNeil and Nimmo, who used to be this wonderful contrast with each other, are now somehow suddenly transforming into the same hitter, each adopting the other's flaws.

[Frayed Knot]

It's not often that you can say a GIDP ball would have improved your offense as Bassett Hound gets out of a 1st & 3rd/no out jam in six pitches.

[The Hot Corner]

well, that was painful to watch. 1st and 3rd with no outs and top of the order feebly goes down without threatening to score.

[Frayed Knot]

Three first pitch pop-outs sandwiched around a K-looking in a four batter span.

And now PO, K, PO, PO, K, GO in, I believe, 12 pitches

[Frayed Knot]

The difference between the front of the plate and the "mid-point", where Gary says Robo-ump is programmed to call strikes, is 4 inches deep. Ronnie is exaggerating the sideways movement of a pitch over that span.

[Edgy MD]

That seems meaningfully different from how umps call 'em now.

Dave Mlicki on SNY now, blast from the past!

[nymr83]

Canha gets unlucky and SNY catches him cursing in slow motion replay

I read somewhere the robo-umps will be programed to take 'awesome'

pitch-framing skills into account so more balls will be called strikes.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Let's induce the triple play

[Edgy MD]

Exciting to see them stick with Verlander so long.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

A triple play would have been more efficient

[Edgy MD]

The hammer down!



Let's get some runs.

[Frayed Knot]

For a half inning that wasn't a lot of fun, that was a fun half inning.

[Edgy MD]

That was the selective version of Nimmo.

The point is that Ronnie is backing the idea that pitches catching the front corner are going to be called balls on account of how R.U. is programmed. I contend that he's grossly over-selling the concept.

[Edgy MD]

Friday Night Mets now 2-for-20 with no walks.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nice inning for Leone. Kept us in there.

[Edgy MD]

More Bassitt in the seventh.



Nobody getting around on the pitch upstairs so far.

[The Hot Corner]

Pete needs to take one deep.

[kcmets]

1-snifflle, BJ's - mid 8th. Got 'em right where we want want 'em.

I don't know if that is true (that the robot ump is essentially a 2 dimensional rather than 3 dimensional strikezone) but even if it were true, a 2 dimensional but consistent zone would still be an improvement over what we have now.

[Edgy MD]

And Bassitt comes out with two out in the eighth.



Thanks, Blue Jays.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo. You dumb bastard

[nymr83]

well fuck.
