IGT 5/29 Mets vs pesky Marlins 7:10 Peralta vs Meyer

[Edgy MD]

Minty getting a down-up.

Or up-down or whatever they call it.

[Edgy MD]

Should've let him finish the inning.

This team has a surfeit of respect for Javier Sanoja.

[Edgy MD]

It's down to a one-run game with the tying run on second, and still seven outs to get.

[Edgy MD]

Come on!  Get back in this thread!

Tack-on time!

[Edgy MD]

Wagaman pinch-hitting against the lefty with first and third and one out.

The Marlins switch to a righty.  Davey Johnson would double-down and go to Melendez, but in the age of the short bench, it is a rare, rare move to pinch-hit for a pinch-hitter.

[Edgy MD]

He does it.  PInch-hitting for the pinch-hitter!

Get it done, MJ!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sack Fly

[Edgy MD]

Brilliant!

Ghost of Davey Johnson in the house!

[Edgy MD]

Toby Myers getting the eighth.

This means they are trying to keep either Devin Williams or Luke Weaver out of the game.

[Edgy MD]

And that doesn't work.

Glubble.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah as shitty as the Marlins played in the field the number of times theyve come back tonight is nothing short of humiliating. How dare they disrespect our best night in weeks

[Edgy MD]

Mets keep looking to their next reliever instead of looking for one more out from the guy who is in, and eventually they run out of effective relievers.

 

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

So Bichette assures Soto gets walked in the 10th

[Gwreck]

Extra innings after a day off, and still no Devin Williams.  Is he hurt?

Apparently just the 34 pitches in the last game (Wed)

[Frayed Knot]

Closing out the visiting opposition scoreless in an extra inning should be counted as a Save ... or maybe a 'Pre-win'

[Gwreck]

He sure seems to be handled very gently this year.

[Frayed Knot]

Shocked that they pitched to Soto, and at least as shocked he went after that pitch.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Wow, MJ

[Frayed Knot]

Good thing we had Brujan's speed out there.!!

[metirish]

Huge Homer for Melendez to win it 

[Frayed Knot]

And he didn't break his leg pouncing on HP !!!

[Edgy MD]

MJ fell behind 0-and-2 by chasing two balls well out of the zone.  That third pitch should have been nowhere near the plate.

But it was, and he lost it, and Bonnie Tyler abides.

[Edgy MD]

Down to Manaea and Williams out of the pen tomorrow.

[Edgy MD]

A scratched-out win, but a good teamy effort.  Everybody in the lineup reached base except Torrens, and he pegged a would-be basestealer and otherwise shut down the vaunted Marlins running game, and he had a sacrifice as well.

Even Wagaman gets some points, even though all he did was get introduced and then sit down.  He forced the Marlins to pull Cade Gibson after only one out and burn one more reliever in an extra-inning attrition battle.

Points! Schafer points! I remember those! I guess we stopped doing them?

Yes. 2025 was the final year of Schaefer.

We could use a new Schaefer Point Coordinator hint hint

Tobias Myers to Syracuse today as a result.
