IGT 5/24 Mets v They Might be Giants 7:10

[Frayed Knot]

When Bader goes into that side-stepping gait out in CF you pretty much know he's got the ball covered.

[Frayed Knot]

Scott finally came inside to get an out (the inning ending AB by Soler).

He's been working almost everyone away tonight.

[Cowtipper]

Scott's a good pitcher. Quality young man. Rotation 2026:



Scott

Butto

Tidwell

Hamel

Vasil

[Cowtipper]

Vientos runs like he just learned how to run.

[Edgy MD]

It's nice to suddenly see pitchers wary of throwing strikes to Vientos.



And Vientos laying off.

[Cowtipper]

I also knew baseball became a girls' game when these players started wearing girl-colored padding and gloves.

[Cowtipper]

Bader struck out because through osmosis he was expecting an underhanded softball pitch.

[Cowtipper]

A safety squeeze is when you pinch your butthole just to make sure there's no more turd left.

[Cowtipper]

Nido's gotten too good too fast. Steroids?

[ashie62]

Stearns gave the obligatory prospect updates and such without really saying anything



He did say that thought Acuna Gilbert and Jett could could help the club in this season or next



Adcock has recovered from Tommy John and maybe the Mets may catch some lightning there

[Frayed Knot]

Couple of nice two-strike swings, both from guys who had K'd in their previous AB: McNeal, Nido

"Adcock." I know a lady who has that tramp stamp.

[Cowtipper]

Maybe the Mets are tanking because gamblers are paying them to. Baseball loves gambling now. If gambling is kosher now then Joe Jackson and Pete Rose should be elected to the Hall.

[Cowtipper]

Scott's fastball rises! That defies psychics!

[Edgy MD]

Christian getting stronger.

[Cowtipper]

Alonso looked really bummed after that strikeout.



Alonso mourning.

[Cowtipper]

Ah, now that's the sort of output we were expecting from Martinez.



A quality Martinez Mash.

[Edgy MD]

Only a matter of time before one of the Mets righthanded hitters took this guy deep. He's been afraid to come in to anybody.

[Edgy MD]

Only a matter of time before [CROSSOUT]one[/CROSSOUT] two of the Mets righthanded hitters took this guy deep. He's been afraid to come in to anybody.

[Cowtipper]

Hit that one right on the Mark!



WOW!



Two in a row! I hope every at-bat is a home run!

[Frayed Knot]

It seems like JDM's hits have been mostly outer-half/other-way stuff.

That's the most impressive hit I've seen him turn on and pull during his short time here.

[Cowtipper]

Former Met Seth Lugo is 7-1 with a 1.79 ERA.

[Cowtipper]

Ha, Edwin Diaz is no better than a middle reliever now.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Matos covers ground.

[Cowtipper]

Here's Bader up with his pretty gloves and pads again. Probably not the only pads he wears.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Maybe we should have had Vientos up all year.

[Edgy MD]

Dramatic entrance music or no?

[Cowtipper]

I bet Bader listens to Taylor Swift on his drive home.
