Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 Griffin Canning takes the hill against a Cardinal team that was pretty mediocre (and often kind of bad) in 2024, that added almost nobody in the off-season, and yet has maintained equilibrium so far.

Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 So what was Canning's problem that he couldn't take the ball yesterday but can do so today? Indigestion? Dandruff? Didymophobia?
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 There's the kind of smart baseball we haven't been seeing much of lately.
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 1. I just assumed today was an off-day, tuned in at 1-02. Lindor was in total control of that entire situation and had no biz being
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 17, 2025 Author Posted April 17, 2025 Always funny to see Stubby Clapp positioned over there in Pete Alonso's shadow.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 A good five frames by Canning but also near 100 pitches.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 A good six innings for Canning. Muy bueno.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 GKR cribbing off this site again re: discussing the need for 12 innings before bringing out the ghost runner rule
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 These Cardinals fouling off enough pitches?!?

Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 Managed to catch a 2-0 Syracuse Mets win at the ball park and catch the last 2+ innings of this win on XM and SNY
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 Could have done without the daily dose of leadoff walk, but otherwise well done Edwin.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 17, 2025 Author Posted April 17, 2025 Amazing how he has to first find his slider control, then his fastball control, and then his velocity ticks up and his slider finds its bite.He'd still be a pretty magical pitcher if he could just work out in the bullpen whatever he has to work out during his first two batters.
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted April 17, 2025 Posted April 17, 2025 Solid outing by Canning. Nice win by the Mets. It's good to be back home at Citi Field.
