IGT 5/1/2025: ARI@NYM — May Day! (#32)

[G-Fafif]

Happy May Day. The Mets seek to break their one-game skid behind Kodak Sanka, the most marketable pitcher of the 1970s. Zac Gallen goes for the Mets at 1:10.

[G-Fafif]

Your New York Mets bullpen today includes LHP Genesis Cabrera (92 in your program) and RHP Ty Adcock (52). Messrs. Waddell and Devenski have been optioned.

[Edgy MD]

Senga just used up about 60% of his gas in the third, but climbed out of quite a hole.

[Frayed Knot]

And about 60% more in the 4th. He was dinged for a run and then BARELY survived a catastrophe.



The Mets, in the meantime, have a hit. Just one, a ground single from Pete.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

A half-pint of offense cannot beat a Gallen of pitching

[Frayed Knot]

And Kodai exits after four in favor of call-up Genesis Cabrera

[Frayed Knot]

And now, following a walk and double/near-HR, Genesis makes an exodus.

[Edgy MD]

Well, Genesis, we were kinda looking for Selling England by the Pound, there, and you went and gave us We Can't Dance.

[Edgy MD]

Kranick is getting the putouts.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe this Soto guy comes through today.

[Edgy MD]

Uh, yeah, something like that.

[kcmets]

Juan BOOM Bah!!!

[kcmets]

=kcmets post_id=191329 time=1746063918 user_id=53]Game's still kinda sucking.

[Edgy MD]

Still, two innings to get two runz should not be too much to ask.



Top of the batting order coming up, including this Soto kid they've been talking about.

[kcmets]

Juan BOOM Bah!!!

[Edgy MD]

Let's try to find some more playing time for that guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Ahh, the long-anticipated Ginkel/Winker match-up.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like we might have done well to pinch-run for Alonso there.

[Edgy MD]

I saw that strike three slider coming to Vientos.



He has the disease that has afflicted Alonso the last two years.

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos fights back from an 0-2 count ... then swings at shit on a full count.

Nimmo manages to run it to 3-2 also ... then stares at down the middle.

[kcmets]

Nimmo, Nimmo, Nimmo...

[Frayed Knot]

And now the DBack 2nd baseman supplies a Tawa of Powa.

That gives us permission to score a run in the bottom of the inning.

Not two, just one.

[Edgy MD]

Ty Adcock looking to improve upon that 14.54 Mets ERA.

[Edgy MD]

The 'Cock is up with everything.

[Edgy MD]

How long has C.B. Bucknor been a crew chief?



And why?

[Frayed Knot]

Unlike last night, they apparently have no intention of making this 9th inning even slightly interesting.
