IGT, 2024-05-22, NYM@CLE, Getaway Day

[Edgy MD]

Victory is in reach for a team who has shown themselves to be extremely formidable in series finales, even as they have been struggling for answers in all other games.



It's a day game in Cleveland, with a day off to follow before returning home, by which point there is about a 50% chance they will have re-acquired Yohan Ramirez. José Quintana takes the bump against ectomorphic righthander Triston McKenzie.

Today be the 22nd!

Brooks Raley will have TJS

[Edgy MD]

Lindor works an 11-pitch at-bat and Pete swings at the first pitch and takes us to the Boom Boom Room.

[Edgy MD]

Vientimos getting another start against a righthander. Rough news for Baty.

[Edgy MD]

McNeedles either needs to stick with that goofy bat or go to work for Cleveland.

[Centerfield]

Hey, just tuned in. We have a lead!

[Edgy MD]

Quick!! Tune out!!



Just kidding, of course. J.D. is getting some terrible calls today.

[Edgy MD]

McKenzies should have been chased by now.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's a Bader Laser! A Harrisbomb! Ohhhh, Suzyn

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Bader wants to chase him personally.

[Frayed Knot]

Solo HRs R us!

I think Sterling's tag on Harrison Bader homers was "I'm just wild about HARRY!"



At least, it was the one time I heard him. I don't know how he missed out on "It's a BADER TATER!!"

It was a natural for Sterling as it was a song popular when he was in High School.

Not really (written 1921) but kinda close.

[MFS62]

Solo home runs are nice.

But it would be nicer if they put up some larger numbers for a change.



BTW _ I happened to hear the guy who replaced Sterling on the MFY broadcasts (Honest - it was an accident.. My wife had left WCBS on the car radio. Don't judge) He is duller than dishwater.

DJ watching some straight fastballs going by him.

[Frayed Knot]

Shyeeeet, if you know you can get a GiDP on the next pitch I'd plunk a batter every time!

Prior to that I was cursing him for putting a leadoff runner on just for pride purposes.

But, 6 pitch inning so OK

[Edgy MD]

Only fitty-two pitches through five for Q-Tip.

[Frayed Knot]

The reason you've never seen it before, Ronnie, is that the pitcher could take his sweet-ass time getting out to the mound

and, until last year anyway, still be allowed to take his allotted eight warm-ups, and take them at any pace he wanted.

That's why we had low-scoring 8-1/2 inning games running 3:10

[Edgy MD]

That beautiful bunt by Hedgy MD could be Quintana's undoing.

[Edgy MD]

Wow

[kcmets]

Annndd, just like that...

[Frayed Knot]

Guardians bunch their hits again while we're really good at spreading ours out ... and so it's tied.

[MFS62]

Fudge.

Later

[Edgy MD]

It'd be really sweet and meaningful to answer back here.

[Frayed Knot]

So the starter McKenzie is listed at 6' 5" / 165 and in comes the reliever Gaddis at 6' 6" / 260

That barely seems possible.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe that payback plunk of Fry wasn't so necessary as all that.



Sleeping dogs and all.
