IGT 5/27/25 - White Sox @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

Game two of this three game set features two very large RH'ers as Tylor Megill take the mound against Jonathan Cannon



Cannon (6' 6" / 225) was a 2022 3rd round pick out of U Georgia. He made 21 starts as a rookie last year and this will be his 11th game / 9th start this season.

Currently 2-5, 3.76 ERA / 1.31 WHIP and has so far shown a somewhat low K-rate (6.7/9), for this era anyway.

And now you know as much about him as I do, but about 90% of this White Sox roster is anonymous to me so that's no surprise.



The offense has got to be better tonight (is does, doesn't it?) but one could say that for both sides who combined for a grand total of 3 runs on 11 hits (8 of them singles) and went a collective 1/18 w/RiSP and even that hit didn't knock in anyone as the runs came in via a Sac fly, a Sac Fly, and a Sac Fly. Fortunately two of those were ours.

That the NYM staff got away with walking seven last night is a tribute to the suckitide of the Chicago offense but they gotta find a way to cut that shit out.

The (Undefeated) Tuesday Night Mets Club will be at this one, being it a Tuesday night game

Someone needs to call Elias and find out what the highest-scoring game is where all the runs scored on sacrifice flies.



It is like a 6-3 football game where all the points were scored on field goals that weren't necessarily the result of successful drives, but the modest cash-in from being lucky enough to get the ball in good field position.

How many games has the TNMC attended, and to what do you attribute this good fortune? Is it simply your presence or are there other factors involved? Specific articles of clothing worn for instance?



Inquiring minds want to know.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Mets are 4-4 on Tuesdays-- 4-0 at home and 0-4 on the road.



The TNMC has beaten the Phillies 5-1, the DBacks 8-3 and the Pirates 2-1 (we skipped the early season win over Miami). The key to victory in all games has been scoring more runs than the other teams did.

Or turnovers I guess

[MFS62]

C'mon, Mets.

These are the freakin' WHITE SOX!

Don't make this hard.

These are the freakin' WHITE SOX!



Beating them should be as easy as stopping an F-18 from rolling off the deck of an aircraft carrier.

You got this.

The White Sox are not clueless



Now beat the crap out of them, now!

They're not listening to me.

[Edgy MD]

Resurgent Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Numbskull Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Umpires calling runners out by name on the PA is also a bad precedent.

[Edgy MD]

Powerful Pete.

[Frayed Knot]

No excuse there for neither runner to see the ump's call - particularly Soto and the 1st base coach who were right in the neighborhood.

[kcmets]

Petey Polar BOOM!!!

We'll need all we can get offensively because McGill sucks.

[Frayed Knot]

Jared Young only 251 HRs behind Strawberry for the NYM record.

[Edgy MD]

Somebody is going to get retaliated on for that HbP.

The Alvarez HBP looked exactly how Bryce Harper's did in the Braves/Philly game just a short time ago ... but Harper's seemed much more painful.

[ashie62]

Off to a good start

[ashie62]

Montas is not that far away Tylor

[ashie62]

Jared Young looking like a potential dark horse Met

[ashie62]

Geez, has Francisco Alvarez peaked? He really doesn't do anything terribly well



It'll never happen but Hayden Senger might be the better backup to Torrens

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Megill has some moments, but I think he's the odd man out when Montas, Manaea and Blackburn return.

[ashie62]

You would think. I really do believe Stearns will at least try to trade Canning



Megill is settling in here

[Bob Alpacadaca]

I kinda like Canning.

[Frayed Knot]

How can that not be a hit for Soto?

- Ventura got credit for a single on his GSS

- Tim McCarver, who famously hit a Bicentennial Day Grand Slam then somehow managed to pass Garry Maddox on the base-path between 1st and 2nd, got credit for a 3 RBI single.



Soto reached 1st safely and then was called out for passing Nimmo between 1st & 2nd.

I guess the fact that Nimmo wound up back on 1st base is what negates the hit but that seems like a non-sensical exception.

[Frayed Knot]

This is where Megill needs to start to show he's capable of more than five innings.
