7/2/25 Game #2 IGT - Brews @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

No one wants to start this IGT but, dammit, somebody's got to so I'll take the bullet.

We've scored just six runs combined in the last four games but at least we don't have to go up against the hottest rookie in all of baseball ... oh wait, we do.



Jacob Misiorowski (RH), all 6' 7" of him, has three ML starts under his belt (16 innings total) and has allowed just two runs on three hits!

He's walked seven but four of those were in his first game so just three since.

The Mets, meanwhile,, counter with ... well everyone. Brazoban will start then a series of guys who have been lit up recently will try to cover the next 8 innings without embarrassing the franchise. I'm betting heavily on embarrassment.



And speaking of betting. I was able to get down a steal of a bet today when I wagered my entire life savings on the US Men's soccer team scoring more often vs Guatemala tonight (in the semi-finals of some recently invented 'Cup' thing) than do the Mets.

[Centerfield]

Brazoban still has pretty good overall stats. So maybe it's possible he regains his form. But check out these numbers.



ERA in June: 13.50



ERA last 15 days: 24.75



ERA this past week: 108.00



He's walked ten batters and given up five hits over his last 4 IP. That's a WHIP of 3.75.



In his last 12 appearances dating back to May 23, he's been scored upon in 7 of those appearances. So yeah, this guy's been lost for over a month.

Lind BOOM Bah!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Told ya this was going to be a good game.

Ignore that opening post under my name. That wasn't me ... I was hacked.





Now we just need

a) the staff not to have any blow up innings as has been a virtual daily occurrence lately.

the offense not to go into shut-down mode now that they've got a cushion

[Edgy MD]

My name is Edgy and I was 99% sure that the park was going to hold Nimmo's shot.



Possibly more than that.

[Frayed Knot]

Three walks in a nine batter span is not the preferred method for avoiding big innings.

I didn't think he got it either. Also wasn't totally sold on Lindor's shot.

I didn't see if Francisco and Brandon hugged after Lindor's HR but, if they did, they would have literally gone back-to-back and belly-to-belly.

[Frayed Knot]

Two 3-1 groundouts that inning and np pitchers were injured in either of them.





(I'll take signs of progress wherever I can find them)

[kcmets]

SOTOBOOM

I believe Soto F=7'd...

[Bob Alpacadaca]

This is better.

[Edgy MD]

They play a doubleheader with a four-man bench, and they still can't throw a start to Jankowski.



Desperate times.

[Frayed Knot]

A quickie interweb search suggests that the name Yoho is from the 17th century American frontier and possibly derived from the Germn/Swiss Johann.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Time to get Blade out of there.

[kcmets]

Poor tidings for Tiidwell in the 6th.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Stupid, fucking Mets. They took a five run 5-0 lead. How the hell are they supposed to come from behind now? How? What a shitball of a team this is.

I was thinking earlier that Misiorowski is what 1980s outfielder John Mizerock and 1970s pool champion Steve Mizerak might have been called before America got their hands on the name.

[Frayed Knot]

And suddenly the tying run is at the plate with one out.

Well, here's hoping the Brewers tie it up and then tack on five more runs. Because any runs the Mets score while they're already ahead don't fucking count. We don't want no hitters that get hits with the Mets already leading. And what did the KC Chiefs do today?

On the bright side. Would have killed for 5-3 given this pitching matchup.

[Centerfield]

Reversion to the mean!!!

[Edgy MD]

Is tonight Puerto Rican Night? I am just now noticing the high number of flags and flag-themed garments.

[MFS62]

SOTOBOOM I believe Soto F=7'd...

The play by play I was following called it a homer. I can't see the game.

But there was a LINDORBOOM.

No offense to the guy, but I wasn't expecting Lady Love here, but so far, so good.

[Frayed Knot]

Oooh, I think I love that lady.

Ball one was a better pitch than strike one.

Wonder if Carlos's bellyaching on the first pitch bought him a call there on the second.
