IGT - 5.16.24 - The "Why is this not a Day Game?" Game

[Centerfield]

To FK's point.



If they needed Tuesday to be a day game because the teams were traveling all the way to Philadelphia, why is today not a day game when the Mets need to trek to Miami?



Not that I want this to be a day game. Just illustrating how little sense this makes.

Jose Quintana 1-4 5.44

Tiajuan Walker 3-0 4.82

Maybe playing day games when hosting Philly means fewer rowdies coming up the turnpike.



As theories go, there are probably worse ones. Certainly better ones.



Hey, look, Tyrone Taylor is in center!

McNutt be like hey, batting 9th is just like leadoff only one less time

Like when manager Leo Durocher convinced Adolfo Phillips that when batting eighth he was the "second cleanup hitter". Phillips went on to have his best year.

Not to be whiny but I watch Omar Narvaez and wish he could turn into Wilson Ramos and be all good and such behind the plate



I don't know what to make of Baty. The MLB sample size is large enough to come to some conclusions on Brett



Hit and score runs Mets



LGM!

[kcmets]

Nimms has a stomach issue > than that ribtoidcoloter zingbadah issue.

About 10 more of those please.

[Edgy MD]

Baby blues at home are damned wrong.

[Edgy MD]

They hit Quintana pretty hard, but he has a nine-pitch inning.



Throwing strikes gets you social media likes.

[ashie62]

Bay-tee

[Edgy MD]

Why did Phillie take the baseball seam out of the middle of the P?

[ashie62]

Narvaez Boo Blahh

[Edgy MD]

Don't hit into double plays is the first rule of high scoring.



My rule, anyhow.

[Edgy MD]

It's OK not to know what to make. Wisdom can shave away ambiguity about the future, but in the end, it remains unknowable.

I like today's Philly unis look - don't tell anyone I just muttered that.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon Marsh doesn't hit lefties at all. Don't go throwing him balls.

Too late. It's out there in the cloud.



Liking it is fine. Terrific, even. But turning the home/away color paradigm on its head is an invitation to CHAOS!

[Edgy MD]

Here's the true home alternative to that look.

Was gut für Herrn Schmidt ist, ist gut für Herrn Böhm.

[Edgy MD]

It's been a pretty dangerous day for pitchers today.

[Frayed Knot]

A busted toe, if that's what it turns out to be, can be a long term deal for a pitcher, particularly so if it's his push-off leg.

[whippoorwill]

Mets will win tonight

[Edgy MD]

Matt Strahm — another Teutonic Phillie.



Except this guy looks like he escaped a chain gang in O Brother, Where Art Thou?

[Edgy MD]

And now we have Kerkering.



Amazing.
