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

[Edgy MD]

All the bellyaching in the world did not get us through this inning without having to hit the Diaz button.

[Fman99]

Lord, deliver us four more outs

[kcmets]

Diaz on to get four outs. Pass the bourbon!

[Edgy MD]

SUGAR POWER!

[MFS62]

Everybody exhale.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

I believe every NYM run tonight has come with two outs.

THAT is a change of fortune.

[Edgy MD]

I thought the team would pinch-hit for Senger, but when they did not, I guessed they were wary of changing catchers on Diaz.



And then when he reached base, they pinch-ran for him, which tells you how much I know. Apparently, he's a bigger liability after getting to first than he is in the batter's box, relatively speaking.

[Frayed Knot]

I guess the philosophy there is that you don't change your catcher until you have to.

Torrens, the logical PH'er, is a slight upgrade in his odds of getting on base, but Jankowski is a huge upgrade on his odds of scoring on a hit just like Lindor's.

[Edgy MD]

Pitcher batting alert! Lindor has entered on defense as the Mets forsake the DH!



Diaz due up fourth in the bottom of the ninth! And if there is a bottom of the ninth, it will be my fault!

[Edgy MD]

The hidden X-factor in this game was Alonso's consistently accurate tosses to the pitcher covering first.

[Edgy MD]

Also, the English on the bouncing ball that Senger hit over the mound. Strange luck but a huge difference maker.

[kcmets]

I'm surprised tomorrow isn't a matinee being a get away

day and needing to trek out to Bronx afterwards.

[Frayed Knot]

Brewers staying in the same time zone (MIA) after this series so, no.

And then when they pinch ran for him I said he's gonna steal. And he didn't. And when he didn't I said well what's the point of pinch running then.



Then he scored on the double.

Shocked. Absolutely shocked.

[Frayed Knot]

The key to the whole game may have been that funky bounce off the bat of Senger just ahead of the Nimmo GS

The inning is over otherwise.

[ashie62]

I had to take a day off. Maybe that helped



LGM!
