IGT 08/21 - NYMets at CHISox - South Side Sluggin'

[Edgy MD]

Bichette took a long time to get there, but he's finally got an OPS over .700.

[ashie62]

They got Baty out

[Edgy MD]

Vientos 0-for-2 with a walk tonight with Binghamton.

Manaea entering the sixth on 70 pitches and getting the first out on a single pitch.

[ashie62]

I can't help but to wonder where the Mets would if Bichette Manaea, and others, were performing earlier as they are now

[ashie62]

Huggy Bear Vargas homers

[Edgy MD]

Shmanaea making the same pitch twice in a row to a guy swinging for the fences was a mistake, but I didn't even see what he threw to Grichuk.

[Edgy MD]

WOW.

Way to not visit the mound when your guy is in trouble, Mets braintrust.

[ashie62]

He did visit after Grichuk

I didn't intend the above this way but I guess they still suck

I missed that.

Good things happen when Lavender pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Hudson would be a good time to deploy Morel.

[Edgy MD]

If it's got to happen in the ninth, it's got to happen in the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

Alvy is a tough show to watch right now.

If they’re not going to hit Morel for Young in that situation, then what is Morel doing on the roster?

[Centerfield]

Too many guys taking strikes down the middle. Flailing at garbage.

Well, they've got to have 26 guys.

There will be other times.

[Edgy MD]

Umps are going to start squeezing Yanni out of spite.

[Edgy MD]

Steve J. Rogers up for the Sox with the game on the line.

[Edgy MD]

Damn it, Rogers.

[Gwreck]

If the season wasn’t already over this would be a supremely annoying loss.

[Centerfield]

Every night we either win or move closer to a high draft pick.  
 

tonight’s it’s draft pick.

But not in this game, apparently.

[Edgy MD]

Well, the real issue is that he was out there in a tie game in the ninth against a first place team.

That doesn't say "We're out there to win," so much as "It'd be cool to win, but whatever."

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that statement was already made when Minter, Raley, Weaver, and Brazoban ceased being members of the bullpen.

But even taking just the current roster into account:  The deployment of Lavendar and Duarte was good.  If not using Senga in a tied game in the ninth (not exactly a radical strategic move), is Yan not the next best option?

Well, it's not a statement I bought into.  I am on record (ON RECORD! I tells ya) in stating that the team would likely get better.  They have, and they's gots to honor that with competitive deployment.

But yeah, Senga is your guy there.  Yan is my last guy right now.  His performance has been neither fresh nor fly.

[Frayed Knot]

Last night reminded me of a Yanqui game. The Sox totaled just six hits but four were HRs and those accounted for all their runs.

Apropos of that, they're currently in the 9th today in the Bronx with the Jays outhitting the Yanx 15 - 3 ... and enjoying a whopping 4-3 lead.
