7/13 IGT - Rox @ Mets - 4:10

[Frayed Knot]

It's Saturday, there's a game scheduled, and I'm on an IGT roll.

But my internet suxx this morning and I have places to go so this will be brief.

Christian Scott will pitch against some other guy and you'll have to figure the rest out on your own.

LGM and yadda yadda.

The Rocks are sending Ryan Feltner to the mound. Ryan is a 27-year-old righthander who likely wishes he was employed by another organization, sporting a 1–8 record this season and a 7–22 mark over his career. He's a fastball/slider power pitcher who doesn't really have great — or even particularly good — marks in any one department, but he mostly keeps the ball in the park for a Rockies pitcher.



He took a liner off the noggin last year. He continues to get high praise for "stuff" but the outcomes ain't showing it.

Surprised to see Iggy out

[Edgy MD]

Stewart, Gamel, and McNiggins all in the lineup.



I feel confident in saying that there is room for Brett Baty on this team.



OE: I assume that Nimmo is playing center there, and not left.

[MFS62]

Have you read anything about how well Baty has been playing second base?

I haven't noticed them turning many double plays.

Just moving the goalposts there.



No, I haven't.

Nope. That was in my comment in the other thread:

Whatever the cause, I need to see if he can pull himself out of the slump while feeling comfortable playing second base. That would be a true test in my mind before I would recall him.

The posts for my goals are still the same.

I haven't read anything about his defense, either.

[Edgy MD]

I don't know from the other thread. I respond thoughtfully to what you've written in this thread, and you ignore it and bring up a different argument.



I also haven't seen any reports that he has done poorly on defense.



Your insistence that he's in a slump and desire to see him do something you're not going to see without watching is setting an impossible bar. (Maybe he's been dynamite on defense?) These are both deliberately nebulous and therefore unreachable standards.



One might as well say that he must first find the end of the rainbow.

Really? You responded to it exactly 23 minutes before you posted that response.

I'm at work and can't be bothered continuing this.

[Edgy MD]

Fair enough. Long live the other thread.

[ashie62]

The Mets haven't worn their home whites in a while



There would be some gentle irony if Gamel has a monster game today

Alonso needed that

[ashie62]

I don't know if I care for bridge over the bill of Mets caps

[Edgy MD]

Gamel needed that walk too.



I think we've figured out why Feltner's stuff hasn't translated. He has trouble working from the stretch.

[ashie62]

Torrents of goodness

[metirish]

Wow , two runs just like that

[Edgy MD]

McContributions!!

[ashie62]

When you are going well everyone contributes



And they are

[metirish]

That's the Jeff we love ,nice hitting

[Edgy MD]

Man, if the Mets get into the bullpen early here, it would be terrific.

[ashie62]

Mets need to keep the Rockies out of their own bullpen also

[Centerfield]

Omg. What middle age guy from accounting is pretending to be Bill Pulsipher.

I will say. pulse seems like a great guy.

[ashie62]

Curious to see what Scott's pitch count is today

[Edgy MD]

Well, 75% of that lead be gone.

This became a different game real quick

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Scott is getting the hook with one out in the fifth.



Crack open a Butto.
