Day Game IGT - Cards @ Mets 6/11/26

[Frayed Knot]

Day Game Alert!! 1:10 get-away-day start.  Christian Scott vs Hunter Dobbins

Dobbins [26 y/o, R/R] was an 8th round pick by the Red Sox in 2021 out of Texas Tech. Made his ML debut in 2025 and made 11 starts. Was traded over the winter to StL for Wilson Contreras and this will be his 4th game/2nd start this season. So far 4 ER allowed over 13 innings. Only 10 hits but also 7 BBs

Let's see if our hurlers can hold the Cards to under a touchdown in this one.

Won't matter, because there's no way we hit this guy.

[Brock Beauchamp]

There is some seriously depressing baseball happening around the DiamondCentric network. The Mets, Cubs, and Red Sox are YIKES.

[Edgy MD]

Good job, Bichette, but no way have you earned the right to stand and admire a homerun.

[Edgy MD]

Homers are raining from the sky.

Also, Winn's double was not only foul, but I'm pretty sure he didn't touch first.

[seawolf17]

Fuckit, I want this game to end 20-18. I want middle infielders pitching. I want to set a home run record today.

[Edgy MD]

Mets booth talking about who permed their hair in the 1970s.

[Edgy MD]

Those early homers have only made the chasey Mets chasier.

[Edgy MD]

Mets even it up.

Hard to say what was ugliest — Soto's hesitation, his running, or his slide.

[Edgy MD]

Mets going right to Minter in the tie game despite three idle days by the under-utilized Raley.

[Edgy MD]

But quick work by Minter and strong defense behind him put the Mets in a good position.

If folks could stop swinging out of their shoes.

[seawolf17]

Gotta get Duarte into this game soon so we can send him down afterward.

[Edgy MD]

Mets still looking for their first walk on the day.

[Edgy MD]

Need to protect a one-run lead for six outs.

If we see Duarte, something has likely gone gravely wrong.

[seawolf17]

MORE HOME RUNS PLEASE 

[Edgy MD]

That's three outs.

Tacking on would be glorious.

[seawolf17]

okay no more home runs now please

[Edgy MD]

The recent lack of circulation for Williams is unsettling, but he's got his change working.

[Edgy MD]

Long. Cardinal. Nightmare. Over.

[metirish]

Mets win, one more win to reach 30, only two other teams in the NL, Giants and Rockies are under 30 win teams like the Mets 

[seawolf17]

Hey, look, we keep losing the first two and winning the third one every time? We'll still suck, but at least we'll end each series with high fives across the infield. It's all about winning the emotional battle, watching the other team celebrate before you have to pack up.

[Centerfield]

The problem with apathy, is that the losses don't hurt as much, but the wins aren't as glorious.

Yay Mets.

[Lefty Specialist]

Attended today in Section 414.  It was, as Buster Poindexter liked to say, Hot, Hot, Hot.  Ball was flying , as the 5 HR's would indicate.  Getting blown out in the previous two games meant the good part of the bullpen was fresh.  Soto kind of Cadillac-ed it around the bases on his homer, but that's why you pay him $51 million a year, I guess.

 

And the Mets soccer jersey was cool.  It's even adult-sized, unlike many things they give away.  Attendance was sparse (school not out yet, a day game during the week, and did I mention Hot. hot, hot?)   But a good day all around.

Just talked about various ballplayers of that era: Gary Carter, Mike Schmidt, Bob Horner

[Edgy MD]

Kinda disappointed Disco Larry Bowa got a pass.

 

[DocTee]

Decided to go at the last minute and snagged a seat for $5---and proceeded to watch the game from the concourse where there was some shade.  Enjoyable day at the park. Very sparse crowd, no lines at concession stands and the good guys won.

[MFS62]

Did they mention Oscar Gamble?

Or did Afros count?
