IGT 08/22 - Mets at Padres - First Of Four Biggies

[Edgy MD]

Sevvy is down to throwing almost exclusively sliders, and he may be done after five innings and 87 pitches.

[Edgy MD]

One out in the seventh and Cease finally chased.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Coming or going it has to be Hoeing

[Edgy MD]

Garrett likes a good nibbling opportunity.

[Edgy MD]

A good time to have a contact hitter up and that bails out Garrett as Arraez grounds into two.

Sitting in petco, I notice, boy these padres fans really dislike Jesse winker.



Does he just piss off -every- opposing fanbase, or is there something in particular he's done to the friars?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Did you get a pink hat?

[Edgy MD]

I think Winkie got in a fight with the Pads when he was a Redleg.



Austin Jones keeps calling the outside slider for strikes, and it's killing Álvarez, because he's trying to stop swinging at that pitch.

Absolutely! It's pretty sweet. Didn't even realize it was a promo day. I was in town waiting for a flight tomorrow and convinced a coworker to grab a game. It worked out well.



So far.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

12 hits are encouraging. Tho I'm surprised Taylor wasn't already swapped for Bader.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is getting good

[Edgy MD]

Busted open in the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

Brazobán only knows one way to pitch, and that's to labor.

[Lefty Specialist]

Brazoban seems determined to give it all back. If you can't trust him with a 7 run lead, perhaps he should, you know, not be playing baseball.

[Edgy MD]

I'm laboring a bit myself.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alls well that ends well

[Edgy MD]

Well, I give him credit, that he had enough gas left to get over and cover first.



And he threw enough that he might not appear the rest of the series.



But, man.

[metsmarathon]

man, brazoban just had no desire to throw strikes, did he?

[ashie62]

Great to wake up to!

I think he might be headed to Syracuse with Dedinel Nunez ready to be activated.

That's probably a wise observation. Huascar, despite being 34, has options. Sean Reid-Foley has been rehabbing at Syracuse as well.

Was flipping back and forth between the game and the DNC. Have to say, it was a great night of TV!



Brazoban. Yeah. Hope you like Dinosaur BBQ.

Hope you like Dinosaur BBQ.

The problem with dinosaur barbeque is that it can do serious damage to your car.

I think of this literally every time I hear the name.

[Cowtipper]

Watching this game now. Gary showed astonishment that there were only four pitchers with 150+ wins. It's a low point, but assuming Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw come back (likely they will), the club will like expand a bit in 2025, with Lance Lynn and Charlie Morton—assuming both come back—both likely reaching the mark, and Chris Sale will get there, too, or at least pretty darn close. Then it might be a while for the next pitcher to get there, but there's a BUNCH of guys (8-13, potentially more) who are trending toward getting there at about the same time...but that's a couple years down the line.

[Edgy MD]

It'll take a really impressive reversal of fortune at this point for Jacob deGrom to get there, however.
