IGT - 4.29.2025 - Rodriguez v. Peterson

[Centerfield]

DBacks and Mets.



It's April. But tie-breakers matter!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tuesday Night Mets will be back.

[Lefty Specialist]

Hope they still have some runs left over after yesterday.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Interesting. The pitching matchup is my girlfriend's maiden name vs my ex-wife's maiden name.

Will all three of you be watching together then?

Scary.

Lind BOOM bah!!!

[Cowtipper]

Man, the Mets are actually good.

[Fman99]

Off to a good start tonight, anyway.

[kcmets]

Marte BOOM!!!

[Fman99]

Pile it on. All this with Soto yet to hit. It's like some kind of dream

[Fman99]

Two more hits for Acuna who's now hitting over .300 I am told. Looks like a damn hitter he does

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, everything coming up Milhouse tonight.

[Fman99]

That rib eye marks 33 runs in the last 21 innings. So that's pretty good

[Fman99]

Ok that ground ball was also ridiculous !

[Fman99]

And then Taylor ! Christ I think maybe this is not even real

[kcmets]

Ty Tay, professional airborne outfielder!

[Fman99]

That may be the best defensive 1-2-3 by a Mets team that I ever watched. All three of those plays were exceptional.

[Cowtipper]

Mets are 4.5 games up, currently the largest lead in the majors.



And they're still hitting just .246 as a team.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wow. Just....wow.

[kcmets]

Petey BOOM!!!

[The Hot Corner]

Pete scorched that ball. Line shot home run off the facing of the second deck.

[Cowtipper]

I can't even watch the game and this is astounding.

[Edgy MD]

I have been sick all day (can't post, puking), and while I have woken up and am delighted to see the score, the color of Álvarez' mask and other bright yellow graphics used in the broadcast are triggering my gag reflex.



Here I go ... .

[Fman99]

The booth has noticed as well. Some days it all clicks. So far that is today.

[roger_that]

Yesterday, I was thinking "These guys are playing like they're PISSED!!" Today, too. Maybe this is the upside of blowing two straight to the Nats?

[MFS62]

Why is Peterson out of the game after 5 IP?

Is he ok?

Are you asking a question? The answer is yes. The Mets are winning because they were pissed. Teams can just turn it on at will and win whenever the hell they feel like it. And when they lose, it's because they didn't feel like winning on that day. Because there's no luck or randomness in anything and the team that wins is always the team that wanted to win more than the other team did. In fact, the DBacks probably decided that they wanted to lose tonight's game. And so when you have a game where one team wants to win and the other team wants to lose, you get a romp like tonight's breezer.

Winning recipe thus far, thanks to them both...
