IGT 9/18 Keep Winning! Mets vs Nationals 7:10

[ashie62]

Metirish said he didn't want to do this so this is just a continuation of a winning streak



Two up on Atlanta



These are great times!

[Lefty Specialist]

Last 'easy' game of the year, with Phils, Braves, Brewers closing things out.

[Centerfield]

DJ Herz starts for the Nats. Lefthander. Overall numbers are pretty good. 3.70 ERA, 1.21 WHIP. He's been sharp his last two outings. 10 IP, 1 ER. In his two starts against, the Mets, he was tagged for 4 runs in 4 and a third back on June 4. A month later, he shut down the Mets for 1 run over 5.2 IP.



Might be a low scoring game. Quintana will have to be sharp.

Brewers' magic number is 1 to clinch the Central. Hopefully they'll be coasting by season end, though they could still be fighting for a higher playoff seed.



If we can sweep the Braves, maybe we'll be coasting by then as well.

More shrimp salad. Come and get it. If your plate's not big enough to hold all the shrimp you want, stuff 'em in your pants pockets.

This is the guy who looks like Jesse Plemmons.

He needs to borrow an eyebrow pencil from JD Vance.

Later

[ashie62]

Theoretically the Mets could win out and simplify the issues at hand

[ashie62]

I don't know that Alvarez is helping himself catching on one knee



They called a wild pitch on Quintana but Alvyboom just waved at it

Quintana got out of a jam. It wasn't easy



Acuna looks like a natural at short

[ashie62]

Gary and Ron suggested Drew Gilbert get a September 1 call up. Although injured for a long stretch he is doing well in Triple A of late



Wouldn't it make sense to dfa Reyes and promote a Drew Gilbert or Luke Ritter?

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure why that's an in-game matter, but DFA'ing Reyes for Gillie would leave them with four infielders.

[Edgy MD]

Tyrone Taylor finds gaps.



And when Tyrone Taylor finds gaps, Mets score.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is getting good

[Edgy MD]

This is offense like it oughta be.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Nine-run innings are good.

Tyrone Taylor also catches balls.



Are we going to leave Q in to go for the shutout, or do we want to spare him pitches to keep him fresh?

[Edgy MD]

This is, like, 22 consecutive scoreless innings for our Opening Day starter.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Might be a good game for Ottovino.

[Edgy MD]

Ottavino pitched yesterday, along with Brazobán and Alex Young, although it was his first outing in a week.



I think Ryne Stanek is our most neglected asset right now. Hasn't appeared in the series.

[ashie62]

World Series bound



Amazin!

[Frayed Knot]

So, nine (or more) runs in a game, all in one inning.

I mean it's not a fact yet, but it's not something that could have happened all that often.





I'm sure Gary will be filled in by someone.

And if that doesn't happen Greg will know off the top of his head.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, a Darren Baker ground-rule double. Boooo! I mean Yayyyy!!!



I'm not sure how I feel.

[Edgy MD]

Deep tater tot conversation in the radio booth.



Howie is accusing the Nats of giving the Mets a last-day-of-spring-training effort.

And Acuna ruins it!!!!
