IGT 6/14 Pursue the Pennant! Mets v Pads Manaea be good

[ashie62]

Pursue the Pennant was a very good dice baseball game brought by the fine people at Negamco



I am unduly nervous that Manaea might rocked



Anyway win win win!!

Baseball must really be in bad shape if a team like the Mets is just 3 games out of a wild card right now.

Ah, I'm too slow with my stupid graphic lineup table.



Check out Luis Arráez. The Pads strange policy of hording as many star middle-infielders as possible — acquiring a new one every offseason and another new one ever mid-season — has put them in the weird position of deploying Luis at first base, like he's Rod Carew or Pete Rose or somebody.



On the Mets' side, Poor Brandon Nimmo is playing Mike Kekich to Francisco Lindor's Fritz Peterson. They swapped lineup spots, but it only worked out for Lindor, and now poor Nimmo has no future batting third but can't go back home to the leadoff spot.

As mentioned briefly during last night's telecast, this Matt Waldron guy is a (part-time) Knuckleballer!!!.

The only one throwing the Fred Astaire pitch currently in MLB.

[Lefty Specialist]

Manaea waa straight up shit in London. He better be better tonight.

[ashie62]

Waldron has been very good of late



Be good Sugar Sean Manaea

Absolutely milling down here in Pelham Bay, as the crow flies not far from City Field.

Saw yesterday for the first of Mike Mills playing Radio Free Europe in Guitar as he wrote. Nice to see him my age kicked back and well

Don't get me going...

I saw them do this at a college pub on the first tour. They were great

While we're waiting, I just checked the minor league box scores.

The Florida Coast League (short season A ball) Mets team has two players, named Zitella (3B) and Zayas (DH), in the lineup tonight.

Has any Mets team, majors or minors, ever had two players with last names starting with Z?

I can't remember one.

Later

[kcmets]

According to bbrdotcom, there have only been 104 MLB players

with Z-Names...



Don Zimmer (1954-1965)

Pat Zachry (1976-1985)

Todd Zeile (1989-2004)



I didn't study it, but these are the only Mets that jumped out...

So, it could have been Zeile and Zambrano in 2004.

Thanks
