IGT for 8/15, Nats at Mets

[Frayed Knot]

This will be a 4:10 start, and I have it on good authority that there will be both pitchers and lineups in this game.

[MFS62]

Are you sure you can trust that source? There's been a lot of fake news lately.

Here I am, Lord.

I heard there was a Harry Ford / who called the game for Brad the Lord

But you don't really care for baseball, do ya?

Now the battle's on for 4th and 5th / in a season headed off a cliff

Where a series sweep evokes a Hallelujah

etc.

Manaea will be lights out today

[Edgy MD]

He has certainly gotten the job done through the fifth.

I mean, that's what the screen says.  I get blacked out, as per use.

Who is Sean Manaea

[The Hot Corner]

Like Edgy, I am blacked out for are Nationals (and orioles) games by MLB.  It makes participating in an in game thread very difficult, but the boxscore shows Manaea has been "lights out" through 5 innings.  He's in a mild jam in the 6th., though.

Double eff me

[Edgy MD]

Man, I went and walked the dogs, and bad things just happen when I do that.

[Edgy MD]

I dinna care how much you love to dive-slide, Pickney, you just kinna run on Carson Benge.

[ashie62]

It's not too late for Benge to at least make a run at JJ Wetherholt for ROY

Wetherholt 3.8-4.2 War 1-2 odds of winning 

Benge 2.5 War 30-1 odds of winning 

I'm putting my crane pool crypto split between Benge and McLean also 30-1

[Edgy MD]

Who had Ewing swinging 3-0?

I wasn't wild about that one.

[Edgy MD]

It's like the Mets develop guys with great batting eyes, and then train them at the big-league level to resist that sensibility.

Force this bullpen to throw as many pitches as possible.

[Edgy MD]

Ugh.  Burning baserunners.

Well, bad things will happen if you decide not to walk the dogs.

[ashie62]

That play does represent Harry Ford's skill set

[Frayed Knot]

Nats lost a run earlier on a pickoff (followed by a triple), now the Mets lose a potential one with Lindor getting caught on a 2 - 6 (followed by Single - Walk)

[ashie62]

The Mets do call one of the city connect colors as purple

No one should be wearing purple except on the anniversary of the passing of Lady Di

[The Hot Corner]

Wild pitch sets the table for Young to give the Mets the lead.

[Edgy MD]

Kinda tempted to pinch-run Arias for Bichette.

[Frayed Knot]

Four batters = Hit - Hit - BB - WP .... and we still don't have a damn run out of this

[The Hot Corner]

Or not.  Dman it Young, that was ball 3 according to Gameday.  Could have had a full count.

[ashie62]

Jared Young possibly your low year punt at 1B next year

[ashie62]

UGHH

[Edgy MD]

No man is a punt.

Abimelec tags first for out number three in an inning where we has to try hard not to score.

[ashie62]

Just now, Edgy MD said:

As a matter of analytics I disagree
