IGT 6/20 Mets vs Germans at Wrench Stadium 7:15 Faux

[ashie62]

The new stadium name comes from a seating chart observation on another easy to find thread

The German team name comes from, you guess it, another easy to find thread

Ashie ist Deutsch und Gehen sie Mets!

Five games under .500 is our high water mark since the losing streak. We hit that May 18 when we won the extra inning game in Washington. Since then the closest we’ve come is 7 games. 
 

We sit 7 games under today. This will be our 7 chance to get back to 6 games under (we lost the prior 6). Today we face the second best pitcher in MLB. And he throws with his left hand. 
 

The good news is, since his scoreless streak ended, he’s given up 1 run, then 2 runs, then 4 runs. So he’s clearly on the decline. 

Need Freddy to step up today. 

[Edgy MD]

It'll also be a charm if Vientos and/or Alvarez could bring one or both of their best today.

I'm just saying that I slid Peralta out of my fantasy starting lineup today. I'm not cahnfident on this one.

[Centerfield]

If we’re looking for positives, the Phillies offense hasn’t been much better than the Mets (27th in MLB) and worse than the Mets in May and June. 
 

Maybe we’re 0-0 going into the late innings and the bullpens decide it. 

[ashie62]

Eric Wagaman might be able to get to Sanchez lefty and all

Gametime

LGM

[Centerfield]

If they win tonight, it can be the one that turns the season around. 

[Centerfield]

Or it could be just another loss.

I hate the Peralta is always behind. Hate even more that Smoltz knows it. 

[Radar]

Mandy has to talk to these guys about stupid challenges. Game after game this team chla!Kennewick early innings and not critical situations.

[ashie62]

Two on, one out for Vientos 

[ashie62]

Vientos looks like he's at a slumber party

[ashie62]

They won't have many opportunities like this one tonight

And down the tubes it goes

Dump this guy. Don't even care how.

I've felt this way for sometime. It's a season and a half since 2024

I've had enough of Baty also

Good bad or indifferent they're going to need these two schmoos to be productive to get into the mix

Maybe Ryan Clifford might be ready but 3B Jacob Riemer needs more work

Remember fans, the replay reviews will only be used to overturn obviously incorrect calls and the process will be quick.

That one, like a lot of others, was neither. It was another one of what I call 51% calls, the type they swore would never happen and it took, what, like three minutes, or 50% longer than a between innings break. 'We can't tell for sure but we think it's more likely he didn't catch it than did so we're going to overturn it'. 

[Centerfield]

Peralta behind every hitter. 

[Centerfield]

How is a ball hit that high not caught.

It's a slippery slope, you want things to be correct but still human. Obviously humans are often incorrect. The pandoras box of replay, challenges and ABS is permanently open

Image what AI might do with all of this

 

 

 

[Centerfield]

Plays not made. 
 

That foul ball has to be caught. That relay has to be turned. 
 

Please stop with the Semien defense bullshit. 

[ashie62]

Somebody strangle Rosenthal with his own tie

[ashie62]

Somebody officially please put a tent on this circus

[Centerfield]

I’ll give it the top of the 3rd. If they don’t show life I’m likely out for the night. 

[ashie62]

I hear you. I'm almost ready for Netflix movie night

[ashie62]

Mets have had no shortage of baserunners

Let's see what Freddy has in him here

A scoreless inning one would hope

Just like that Peralta gets torched

Still looking for a tent as Semien airmails one Chuck Knoblauch style into the stands

Wagaman's throw to 2B on Harper's double is off-line (by a lot), Semien's error after a nice play.

[ashie62]

I understand Soto was faking a catch but couldn't he have had a decent chance of actually catching it?

Pete Alonso has to be laughing his ass off while now putting up Alonso like numbers

What a horribly constructed team this is

[ashie62]

On that not Schwarber hits his second homer of the night

11-0 Germans in the 3rd

I chose... wisely.
