The Time has Come for a Post-Season IGT, NYM@MIL, 2024-10-01

[TransMonk]

Yeah, this is all gravy to me. Anything can happen going forward, but yesterday was the day I was nervous.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Winky has been pretty good all year, just ran into a slump at a bad time. I'm cool with Winker in the lineup. Heeyyyyyy

[Edgy MD]

I'm also down with Winker in that slot. I kind of expected it.



I'd prefer Álvarez eighth and Taylor ninth, where maybe his wheels can help in front of the top of the lineup, but I can't get everything. I expect Bader and Martinez cracking the lineup tomorrow. Maybe Torrens also. Maybe none.



But today is all I'm promised, and I'm good.

[kcmets]

I have a WinkyBOOM!!! set up in my big-purple pre-IGT arsenal ready to go.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I be more like [bIGPURPLE]Winky takes ball 4!! [/bIGPURPLE]

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just hope we see a lot of armpit waves, from whomever.

Not yet, no. I'm still in the glad-to-be-here phase. But if the Mets are holding a one-run lead going into the ninth, I'll be pacing in front of my TV like a caged animal.

[Edgy MD]

A good time for a re-post of the Japanese Toyota G's commercial.

Today's game is also brought to you by the late lamented Oakland A's

Lindor was frozen

[metirish]

Strauss is prominent

[Cowtipper]

Wow. Mets playoff baseball. This is surreal.



I hope the Mets win.

[ashie62]

How did Turang get to second?



Rut roh

[ashie62]

Trouble

[ashie62]

Ugh



Hard contact



Bad defense



0-1

[metsmarathon]

This could be starting worse

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vientos 😔

[ashie62]

How about a mound visit

[ashie62]

I thought Alonso could have at least gotten a glove on the ball

[Fman99]

No me gusta

[Edgy MD]

My Internet failed and I missed the start of the game.



This is on me.

[metsmarathon]

By the way, fuck Rhys Hoskins

[MFS62]

Severino coming up small.

[ashie62]

Coulda gone 5-0 or more, so there's that

[Edgy MD]

I don't wanna hear no nonsense about Severino's pitch count.

[MFS62]

I'd rather Rhys Hopkins getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded than Rhys Hopkins hitting the ball with the bases loaded.

[Edgy MD]

Wink me.
