IGT 7/23/23 Mets Visiting Boston - The Battle of the Chowdah

[Edgy MD]

Canha trying to throw out runners for the cycle.



Which usually means there have been a large amount of opposing runners.

I don't feel that prime time games have been very kind to the Mets - or the Jets for that matter - in recent years.

[whippoorwill]

Time out of mind actually

I've done that from LF, including a force play at 1B

OK, mine was in a softball game rather than at Fenway Park, but I'm claiming an equivalency.

[Frayed Knot]

Two more tallies this inning will make this an interesting game. But stalling here or even with just one more run will be a big disappointment.

It's a grind

Boo Vientos

Do the strand

[Frayed Knot]

Runner on 3rd (and 1st) none out ... and not a single ball out of the infield.

We can complain about the pitching woes all we want but our RA/G is right around MLB avg while the RS/G is considerably below.

First base is still on his Bingo card.

[Frayed Knot]

Well the BoSox have their 'Round Robin' card complete as they've now had runners tagged out at 1st, 2nd, 3rd and home.

4 of their first 17 outs were self-inflicted.

[Edgy MD]

Well, Peterson as a reliever may have some legs.

[Fman99]

The Mets are blow

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Joely getting some revenge.

[ashie62]

Nimmo

Lindor

McNeil

[Edgy MD]

Leone is seemingly a daily visitor to the mound.

[Edgy MD]

Radio ads keep promising me "more balls into play due to shift restrictions."



I'm not sure how that is supposed to work.

[Frayed Knot]

And yet another leadoff baserunner destined to be stranded.

[ashie62]

Pete is just having a difficult frustrating season

[Edgy MD]

Well, now he's having a difficult, frustrating walk to first.

[ashie62]

How about a Vogelbach boom here

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff hitter on, heart of the order due up, 5th string reliever on the mound ... and for the fifth time tonight not a single ball advances a runner or even leaves the IF.

[ashie62]

Boo

[Frayed Knot]

Hey look, a couple more uncontested stolen bases.

No way I saw that one coming!

[nymr83]

"Grandma's plastic couch wrap" might be the best conversation the ESPN announcers have ever had on air, though I admit it is a low bar.

[Frayed Knot]

What color is the sky in a world where all your relievers have sub-5% BB rates? Cuz everyone the BoSox trotted out there tonight have been in the 3-5% range.

[Edgy MD]

Patrick McCarthy just described the Mets offense as a bunch of Oprah groundouts.



YOU get a groundout! And YOU get a groundout! And YOU get a groundout!

[MFS62]

As Steve Sommers used to say, "We got the mushroom barley soup and the phlegm".



Later

[Frayed Knot]

In a season full of embarrassing losses, this may have been the worst.
