Smoltz biggest narrative by far is "both teams do things differently "

Anybody remember my 'Even the wins are hard' thread from late May or there abouts?



I think it still applies, even in games with 2nd inning grand slams.

Me too!

I hafta say I wasn't all that worried. The only reason it was even a game went to those errors.



FU Dodgers

[Fman99]

Diaz is powerfully hard to watch. Does he really need to put two guys on base before he settles in? Is he doing that just to push me closer to my own death?

I thought of that!



Like those games the Mets failed to tack on.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, that was Vientos's 1st career Grand Slam in his 14th AB with the bases loaded.

It ties him with Derek Jeter (262)





Just sayin'

[Edgy MD]

This "analysis" by these three guys is all over the place. They're even kind of calling bullshit on each other.

Well, that and getting blanked from the 3rd thru the 8th vs the back end of their pen.



Really though, the Dodgers hit very little hard. The Muncy HR obviously, that ball that sent Nimmo to the track, an early liner to Marte, and Freddie's funky hop off the mound that Iglesies flubbed. Edman was the only guy with hits and he essentially just hit rollers or floaters that found holes.

But oh those fuckin' walks!

Not sure McNeil is an upgrade over Nimmo. But he's probably an upgrade over Marte?

[metirish]

Torrens needs to start a game or two

[Frayed Knot]

I was for pulling Nimmo rather than Marte -- even though Nim's spot in the lineup would be up sooner and even though I called Marte a defensive liability earlier in the season -- mainly to get three good arms out there in case it came down to a potential game-tying and/or -winning hit.



Right move by Mendoza IMO

[Lefty Specialist]

Nimmo is definitely hurting. Maybe McNeil in left on Wednesday. And Torrens needs a start too.
