Mets v Yanx IGT, 7/26/23

[Frayed Knot]

Not being used to

a) starting IGTs

or

starting more than one in a row

I almost forgot that today's was on me.



Last game of the series vs these fuckers.

Would be real nice to get both a 3-1 season series win while also knocking them down one more peg into last place.



Two pitchers who signed decent sized FA contracts in the off-season only to then sit out the first 100 or so games are tonight's starters: Jose Quintana & Carlos Rondon

[kcmets]

I feel a lot more confident about tonight than I did yesterday at

that present time. Or something.

[MFS62]

The pessimist in me is saying that Rondon will finally find his stuff and Quintana doesn't have any stuff to find.

The optimist in me says Vientos and Alvarez are ready to show what a real power hitter can do in that bandbox.

LGM

I expect Quintana to do well and Rodon has not been good

[Edgy MD]

Rodón is rocking the Francisco Álvarez cleavage look.

[ashie62]

Cmon Quintana don't spit the bit

[Edgy MD]

Gary: "You know what happens when you assume?"



Keith: "Oh, I understand that it can be broken down phonetically."



Just back up the Emmy truck.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Needs a triple play here

[ashie62]

Scary spot

[Edgy MD]

Doug Eddings helping us more than Mark Vientos.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fortunate that was only 2 runs

[Edgy MD]

Ironically, McNeil might have gotten the runner had he let that ball drop in, played it on a hop, and fired home for the force.

[ashie62]

McNeil saved our bacon



Maybe you do play Baty against lefties



Vientos froze

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lots of men dick there

[ashie62]

Vientos fails again

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos had a quartet of choices to go with that ball and chose the worst of the four.



If a Yanqui fielder slipped on the Shea turf the way McNeal did just there Steinbrenner would be filing protests with the league office.

[ashie62]

Slam it Petey

[ashie62]

They will get to Rodon



It's coming

[Frayed Knot]

Hey look, SNY has figured out that you can conduct an in-game interview without shrinking the game itself!!!

Do you suppose there's any way they could teach ESPN how they do it?

Mark kotsay?

[ashie62]

Hit Jeff in a bad spot

[metirish]

Radon looks more shook up than Jeff

[Edgy MD]

Swinging at that first pitch makes double-plays hap.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

My God Vientos sucks

[metirish]

Trying to be like Knobloch right there

[metirish]

Yikes that was ugly

[Frayed Knot]

The defensive downgrade from Escobar/Guillorme/McNeal to Baty/Vientos is sizable.

[metirish]

Harvey behind home plate ?
