IGT 5/2/24 Mets vs Cubs 1:10 Houser vs Brown

[Edgy MD]

Slider's looking better.



Fastball still quite there.

[Edgy MD]

Let Neris beat himself.

[ashie62]

What a grind this game has become



Poorly played in parts

[Edgy MD]

[bIGPURPLE]BAM-BAM!![/bIGPURPLE]

[ashie62]

Omar gets his varsity letter!!

[metirish]

Wow what a play

[Edgy MD]

Get him over, McNubbins.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, Alonso leads off.



And doesn't get him over.



Then drive him home, Jefe.

[ashie62]

Wish Pete had moved him over



Need a hit or something

[ashie62]

Diaz leaves and Danny Young gets knocked right out of the gate



Keep it 6-5

[Edgy MD]

I question bringing a sidearming lefty in to make his MLB debut in this situation with multiple righties coming up to the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Just a headscratcher of a day behind the plate for Chad Fairchild.

[Edgy MD]

Narváez got him twice. Let's not be silly.

[Edgy MD]

Now we have to get that run back. Brett Baty is our free runner.

[Edgy MD]

Mets now on their third designated hitter.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Put it in the books

[Edgy MD]

Just brilliant!

[metirish]

Yeeeeees Lindor

[Edgy MD]

Francisco Lindor making a really solid bid to wrap up May's Bench Player of the Month early.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, good, the guy has the flu, so let's soak him in ice water.

[ashie62]

What a game!



Mets win!

You beat me to it!

[ashie62]

It's 80 out, but still

[Centerfield]

The flu-like symptoms game.

[metirish]

Best win of the season so far ?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Maybe. Big win anyway. Losing 3 of 4 at home to the Cubs would have put me in a bad mood for a week or two

This is the real way to congratulate a guy on a walkoff.

Just finished watching (well, at least part of it*) and that game was ... something?





* So I'm watching via delay when suddenly (around top 4) my stream loses a connection and before reappearing a few minutes later ... in the 7th inning!!!!

I went from down 1-0 to a 5-5 tie and missed everything in between. I backed up about 20 minutes, enough to see the Mets make it 5-5 from 4-5 but

didn't want to see the three innings I missed having already known the result (watching them go down 4-0 would have REALLY put me in a bad mood).

So I essentially just saw from the 8th inning on although that turned out to take well over an hour.

I have to now go back and reconstruct the nine runs that I missed.

That's never happened to me before on the stream but I know the fault wasn't at my end.



Great win though:

- Marte with two great throws

- Baty - multiple nice defensive plays

- Narvaez - two great tags

- Lindor - four RBIs in a game he didn't start

- Nimmo tying hit

- Bader winning run

- Diaz two innings

... and that's just the parts I saw

We're gonna need a big delivery from the folks at Schaefer

[Centerfield]

Load is a little lighter when you don't need beer for the starting pitcher.
