IGT 09/14 - Orioles at Mets

[Edgy MD]

FUN FACT: The Fielding Bible reports six left field guys with lower defensive runs saved (or higher defensive runs surrendered) numbers than Soto.

Three of them have played far more innings, and one (Jose Fermin) just has an arm that no manager wants to see throwing a baseball.

Petey K.... alert the media....

It's a tie game [or it was until a second ago] in the 8th inning folks. Get back in your frickin' seats!!

[Edgy MD]

Gunnar Henderson — his 108th career homer!

Cheetah Chrome, the world looks to you.

If this Grant Wolfram guy isn't nicknamed 'Tungsten' then I'm thoroughly disappointed in his teammates. And his HS classmates for that matter.

[Edgy MD]

Disappointed we didn't see Benge break for second in that inning.

Generally, it's the less creative "Wolfy," but there is definitely is a modest movement for "Tungsten" or "Tungsten Arm" among the fans.

Speaking of Oriole lefthanders, the ninth inning is brought to you by Ross Grimley and the beautiful creation of a mane that he wore under his cap.

Senga ain't gonna set himself up to be rooted against by his home crowd.

Senga K-strand!

Dead Boys!

Let's Go Mets!!!

[Edgy MD]

GO, LINDOR!!

[Edgy MD]

BOOOOO-ALTIMORE!!!

Meh. At least Jonah pitched well.

Great to see Tong pitch well.  Good to see Ewing homer.  And great to see how much love the fans have for Pete…but overall this game was just very depressing.  A long-ago eliminated Mets team has their best crowd in months only because a beloved franchise icon is returning when he shouldn’t have been allowed to leave.

 Separately:  Alvarez looks completely lost, completely fooled by anything that’s not a fastball, and was barely running down the line when he grounded out to third in the ninth.  

[Edgy MD]

Hey, the Mets aren't long-ago eliminated.

Well, now they are eliminated.
