Lefty day at (not) Shea: Padres at Mets IGT, 8/18/26

Be the ball Lindor

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice catch, saved 4 runs.

[Frayed Knot]

That one is twelve rows deep in the Bronx.

So he walks the first two batters and you swing at the first pitch?

That's what I'm saying.

Taking pitches strategically is where it's at.

Also, that catch by Tatis was certainly the juiciest.

[Edgy MD]

Seven runs today — all courtesy of Tatis, Jr.

Plus-three on offense, and minus-four on defense.

[ashie62]

The Mets had their chances to have a few on the board aside from Tatis' heroics

[Edgy MD]

Luis Torrens has been touched by Daniel Murphy.

[Fman99]

Welcome back, Jose.  

[Edgy MD]

Luis Torrens has a VZ on his catching helmet underneath his mask.

Do you think he'll be able to put it down live on stage without the voice filters?

I lean on the bit of reverb and forgiveness that a microphone allows me.  I won't deny it.

I had a gig a few weeks ago where the venue lost power, mid-song in fact.  I did a good 7-8 songs in a fully unplugged fashion and made choices that suited that presentation style.  It came off all right, albeit as a more exhausting way of entertaining.  Good to know that I <can> do it at least

[Edgy MD]

Let's do it now, Morel.

It's amazing visiting the studio these days.  People who can sing are using autotune as an effect.  To me, it makes them sound like they can't sing, when I know they can.  But to the audience they are going for, this is what music sounds like.

Autotune is, of course, slathered all over "OMG."  I wonder how he'll be without that, or whether Broadway will let him use it.

[Edgy MD]

Hate to see the Pads tack on, but I have to tip my hat to Bob Henley, who had the guts to send Bowen after last night.

Don Henley, on the other hand gets nothing but boos from me.

[Gwreck]

Listening to the radio and Howie/Keith commenting on Tatis getting booed.  Howie says it’s because he’s good.

 No, Howie.  It’s because of the PED suspension.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Dont look now but Ewing sucks

[Edgy MD]

Do it again, Francisco.

[Edgy MD]

Or, you know, just keep the line a-movin'.  You've got a hot righty batter behind you.

[Edgy MD]

Luis is batting cleanup against the lefty for a reason.

[Frayed Knot]

Soto has a serious Brillo pad on his head going on.

[Gwreck]

I think you mean third but I agree with the point.

100% of Mets homers tonight hit by guys named Luis.

[Edgy MD]

Please stop telling me how great this bullpen is.

Tell me how much danger they are in.

[ashie62]

Baserunner

[ashie62]

Adrian Morejon is very sweaty

[Edgy MD]

The Mets don't really have a righty to pinch-hit for Ewing on the bench.

 

[Edgy MD]

Let's hope this guy is gassed.

[ashie62]

AJ Ewing facing the big boys

[Edgy MD]

If it's Miller vs. Torrens, do you go to Young?  Or do you stay with the hot bat?

I’d go to Young. 

[Edgy MD]

Oh, AJ.
