IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

[MFS62]

Time for some 1969-type magic.



Kyle Hendricks 4-6 3.98

David Peterson 3-7 5.65



Game time 7:10 PM

I mentioned it in the Syracuse thread but Mauricio is being broken in at 3B in addition to 2B and LF. I don't know how much SS he plays anymore, if any.



This has to have gotten Baty's attention



Mauricio has been blocked at SS since Lindor came over in 2021. Why they waited this long to move the kid around the infield is anyone's guess

[G-Fafif]

Nimmo CF

Alvarez C

Lindor SS

Alonso 1B

McNeil RF

Almonte DH

Vientos 3B

Araúz 2B

Ortega LF

Peterson LHP (3-7, 5.65)

One pitch, one run. What fun!

[Frayed Knot]

So the good news is he struck out the side ...

[Edgy MD]

Saved from back-to-back walks in the third by what has to be the most generous called strike I've seen this season followed by a 6-4-3.

[Edgy MD]

Apu in the house!

Except that Apu has been canceled.

On the flip side, so has the Cubs lead.

[ashie62]

I don't understand what the Mets are trying to accomplish with these 50-60 pitch outings by Peterson



I don't know that it helps them win when the start provides marginal length

[Edgy MD]

David Wright doesn't project that sweet voice very well.

[Frayed Knot]

Cubs go to the pen as Met hitters seem happy to get out from under the Kyle Hendricks experience.

Mets looking alive all of a sudden, its the David Wright Magic!

He's still Apu.



Sounds mostly like Moe.



Dudley Do-Wright in the house!

[kcmets]

What sweet voice is he not projecting very well?

[nymr83]

Wright was I guess technically "teammates" with McNeil and Nimmo on account of his 3 Plate appearances in 2018, and those are the last 2 teammates he has left in the orgamization.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wright can't project because he knows he's not saying anything of substance

[Fman99]

He Gott no idea where that fastball is going

[Edgy MD]

I'm liking Cuas' stuff.

[Edgy MD]

Almonte kind of puts me in mind of a lefthanded Juan Uribe. He's a veteran carrying some extra weight and he swings really hard.



Mark Vientos coming to the plate with one foot on the interstate.

[Edgy MD]

Both feet.

[Edgy MD]

Josh Walker starting to look like a big-leaguer.

[Edgy MD]

Clap Your Hands Seiya.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Oh, Otto.

[Frayed Knot]

I have a sudden hankering to buy something from the Haugland Group. I have no idea what they sell but I want to buy one.

[kcmets]

Ottavino *cough* *cough*

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Terrible. The walk was not unexpected. The balk was just not knowing the rules. Unacceptable.

Ottavino looking like he forgot his vitamin.
