IGT 05/26/24 -- SF @ NYM -- Because it's on the schedule

[Edgy MD]

Batting-third Nimmo swings a lot more freely.

[Edgy MD]

Second-inning Houser much sharper.

[Cowtipper]

Good fielding play by Houser, at least.

[Cowtipper]

I legitimately don't understand Bader's gloves and guards color choice. Is it a "pride" thing?

[Cowtipper]

Very good play by Baty.

[Edgy MD]

Playing sharp defense through the middle of the game.



The sluggish start won't go away, though. Not without some offense, anyhow.

[Edgy MD]

Bunting was a good idea from Taylor.



But not a good job.

[Cowtipper]

Not a Taylor-made bunt.

[Cowtipper]

Gary loves to get excited over long fouls that are obviously going to go foul.

[Cowtipper]

What a play by Baty!

[Cowtipper]

Man on, no outs?



Perfect opportunity for New York to let us down.

[Edgy MD]

Pinch-run Marte for Martinez, or save him for his bat?

[Cowtipper]

Is this ... actual ... hope??

[Edgy MD]

THERE 'TIS!!!!

[Cowtipper]

No one Bader to have at the plate than Harrison!

[Cowtipper]

This is Narvaez's chance to become a cult hero. Imagine a grand slam by a .150 hitter.

[Edgy MD]

SHORT CONVERSATION DEPARTMENT:



"Should we pitch to Baty or walk him to pitch to Narváez?

[Edgy MD]

WALKOFF MOFO!!!!

[Cowtipper]

That'll work!



Completely satisfactory!

[ashie62]

How bout day!

[ashie62]

I took a nap and a win broke out

[Edgy MD]

Houser and Narváez, both seemingly on the verge of being released, get to go home as heroes.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Nice!



Bader has been much better than I anticipated.

[Cowtipper]

Let's not oversell Houser, the Mets wouldn't have been in such a bind if he didn't help extend the Giants' lead. But Narvaez's performance was excellent.

[DocTee]

I was there with my daughters. The Bader game, henceforth.



Really great day, $17 beers notwithstanding.

[smg58]

The turning point for me was the hit by pitch. If you hit a guy on a 1-2 count to put the tying runs in scoring position and the winning run on, you're not getting out of the inning.

[bmfc1]

We celebrated Lag B'Omer... the "B" stands for Bader.

Mets gain a game on Washington and a notch on Philly to boot!
