IGT 8/1 (4:10pm): Marlins (Phillips) vs Mets (Thornton)

[Brandon Glick]

Mostly just hoping at this point that no one gets traded during the game. Let's be civil about this fire sale, shall we?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Saturday Afternoon Mets Club to be there for this one.

[Centerfield]

A big part of my outlook for 2027 depends on Zac Thornton. 

[ashie62]

McLean Scott and Thornton represent a solid start to 2027

I beginning to conclude that Jonah Tong just can't throw enough strikes

[Edgy MD]

I wouldn't conclude that.

[ashie62]

I hope you're right

[metirish]

Great to watch the celebration of the 1986 Mets , I wasn't likely even aware of the Mets back then growing up in Ireland,  huge hand for everyone especially Lenny 

[ashie62]

I missed it, poop. Like many I suppose I remember exactly where I was and with who I was with during game six

[Edgy MD]

I hope Darling is on top of his game tonight.

C'mon Francisco 

[Edgy MD]

It's amazing how there can be a different lineup every night but they usually find a way to get Baty in there.

[Edgy MD]

Three-nothing is going to be a tough hole for a non-1986 team to dig out of.

PUT IN HEEP!

[ashie62]

This feels like a low ebb end of season game and it's only August 1st

[Edgy MD]

I would guess safe.

I would not consider the evidence of that to be clear and convincing, however.

[Frayed Knot]

Not that 'clear and convincing' is the standard anyway. It may be in word but not in practice, not now it isn't at least even if it supposedly was at some point.

[Frayed Knot]

Thorton has a 2-2 count on the batter after two pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Extend Tyrone Taylor!

[Edgy MD]

Dwight Gooden is always a great, thoughful interview these days, but it often sounds like his dentures are slipping.

[Frayed Knot]

A bases-empty 0-2 count w/two outs challenge.

[Edgy MD]

Ojeda is not such a great interview.  Just a little condescending.

[Edgy MD]

Me, wondering why Jerry Koosman is being interviewed, before realizing it's Ray Knight.

Also me, watching Griffin Conine SLAM one into the upper deck.

[Edgy MD]

Ray Knight, sounding like an old guy who won't stop talking once he gets a hold of somebody's ear.

Also Ray Knight, dropping a massive old F-bomb.

[metirish]

Oh wanted to mention that Howie had a really bad shake in his left hand when taking a drink from a water bottle , obviously he has had some health issues, still, he did a great job as always 

[Frayed Knot]

Great to see the team playing in a manner worthy of the '86 '66 & '76 Mets
