IGT 06/14 - Us us us and Them them them (NYY @ NYM)

[Frayed Knot]

Remember when we had a good defense.

It wasn't all that long ago and the good fielders looked a lot like the current ones.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Okay now I'm pissed

[Frayed Knot]

Escobar a spectator?

[metirish]

Time for bed lads

[Edgy MD]

Wow. Hat tip to the aggressive Kiner-Falafel.



Mets need to put that pressure on the way the Yankees are.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I wonder what Raley will fetch at the deadline

[Frayed Knot]

They're not just finding new ways to lose, they're inventing them.

[Edgy MD]

I dunno if Vogelbach is available tonight, but this is a Vogelsituation.

[Frayed Knot]

So mistakes that inning from:

- Brigham: a walk after 0-2 plus a HBP

- McNeal: ill-advised throw

- Vientos: mot stopping the errant throw

- Raley: a lefty pitching from the windup with a runner on 3rd and never checking on him

- rest of infield: no one appears to even glance at the runner

- Alvarez: air-mailed throw to CF



Result: 2 runs without a single fuckin' hit

[Edgy MD]

Marinaccio vs. Nimmo. Big Team Italy showdown.

[Frayed Knot]

Bases loaded, one out, so here are your choices

- GiDP

- K, FO (never the other way around)

- K, K

- Pop foul, Pop foul

- there are no other choices

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Offs

[Edgy MD]

I'll take HbP.

And we just add to the list

I'm behind you guys. How bizarre. We're challenging now.

We lose it.

[Frayed Knot]

I wouldn't have over-turned it either.

[Frayed Knot]

In partial defense of Nimmo, Cora held Vientos up very late.

Actually, not so late on second glance.

But if Nimmo doesn't fall while trying to get back he's safe easily.

[Frayed Knot]

That's an absurd call!!

[Edgy MD]

AN OFFSIDES IN BASEBALL?!?!?!

Encroachment

[Edgy MD]

What are we missing? Catcher's interference? Two men on a base? Hidden ball trick?

Lining up in the neutral zone.

[Edgy MD]

Howie calling a terrific game tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Also, with one out in the ninth of a tie game, shouldn't they be playing the lines to prevent doubles?

[Frayed Knot]

OK guys, if you win it here there's a decent chance I won't try to injure myself tomorrow.

[Edgy MD]

Robertson may not have much left, but he's a cool head in a tight spot.

[Frayed Knot]

We've done a lot of warning tracking in the last two nights.

[Edgy MD]

Extra-inning attrition drama isn't much of a thing anymore, but the Yankees have emptied their bench, while the Mets haven't touched theirs.
