IGT 09/30, Game Two — Quintana vs. Some Guy

[Edgy MD]

The Phillies will be calling up a rookie whose name I didn't get to start game two. Look for Game One benchriders Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Álvarez, Mark Vientos, and Daniel Vogelbach to see some action.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nimmo has gone on the injures list so he won;t be there

[kcmets]

Phils called up a Michael Plassmeyer for his first taste of the bigs.



Plassmeyer sounds like a fictitious name of a guy you shouldn't trust

in a prep-school movie or something.

Francisco Lindor (S) SS

Mark Vientos ® 1B

Brett Baty (L) 3B

Francisco Alvarez ® C

DJ Stewart (L) RF

Tim Locastro ® LF

[Edgy MD]

Mets 3, Plassmeyers 0.



Álvarez is back in the homerun column.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets go up 4-0 as a relay throw skips by Trea Turner.



I don't know how that's an error on the leftfielder. On a throw from an outfielder, a cutoff guy has all the time in the world to position himself for the catch. It's not like the guy has to hold the base, and it didn't go over his head or anything.



And as I type, Plassmeyer plunkmeyers two Mets in a row.

The Alvarez Game

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ass-kicking.

[Edgy MD]

What our booth is missing is that all teams are on the same page regarding pitching because they are all one organization and there is no consequence for failure.



This leads to lack of meaningful innovation. Or every team innovates in the same way at the same time.

[Edgy MD]

Mets lead suddenly cut in half.

[Edgy MD]

It's wrong that the league is considered the only entity that can stem the tide.

[ashie62]

Season ending soon

[Edgy MD]

A two-run homer, and the Mets have scored 10. Free pizza!!

[Edgy MD]

They finally hooked this poor guy.

[Edgy MD]

Weston Wilson must be the son of Wookie Wilson.

[Edgy MD]

Mets can't even their record, but they have a reasonable chance here to even their run differential.

[Fman99]

We caught both Alvarez dingers on our drive home from Parents' Day in Oneonta, NY. Frankie is still my daughter's favorite Met because he's "so adorable."

[ashie62]

Holy crap, this is the Alvarez game

[Edgy MD]

Reed Garrett throwing some of his best ball.

[kcmets]

Alvarez flashing some mitt leather too

[kcmets]

A lot of these HBP are stupid. Get out of the way!

[Edgy MD]

Mets looking for a third inning from Reed Garrett, who looked great in his first inning, but sloppy in his second.

[Edgy MD]

And Garrett pitching like he wants to be back in 2024.

[Edgy MD]

Drew Smith to finish.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sweepstakes

[Edgy MD]

Official scorer gives Garrett his first win! Álvarez gets age-based record! Books engaged twice in one day!!
