IGT 6/25 - Cardinals at Mets

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tatis pops up to first.

Frankie will be handed a mere one-run lead.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If we'd gotten an insurance run there, I would have loved to see Jerry keep in Feliciano for one pitch to Rasmus, then switch him out for Misch, then switch him out for Frankie.

EDIT: I mean, "If they'd gotten..."

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ron Darling: "All games are big. This one is bigger."

[Benjamin Grimm]

Duncan looked overwhelmed. Three swinging strikes. On the third, he looked helpless.

[nymr83]

put Pujols on 1st please.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And Schumaker goes down swinging!

Now they just have to get past some guy named Pujols.

[Guest Edgy DC]

If Pujols gets one pitch in the strike zone, I shall be cross.

[Gwreck]

You don't put the tying run on base. Francisco gets paid big-boy money to get Albert out here.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Watching now. Squeezed on that first one.

[Guest Edgy DC]

First pitch is in there, and it's called a ball.

I agree.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ball two was very close to the strike zone. (Just a little inside.)

you do when its the best hitter in the league surrounded by a weak lineup.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ball three wasn't close at all.

1) I meant pitch-around, not ibb.
2) Sometimes you do.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ball four. The "unintentional intentional walk."

[Benjamin Grimm]

Now it's 2 and 0 to Ludwick.

Six straight balls from Frankie.

Fuck yeah he does.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oy. Oy. Oy.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ball three is way high.

Tying run on the verge of moving to second base.

[seawolf17]

Fuckin' hell, Frankie. This is boolshit. Throw a goddamn strike.

[Benjamin Grimm]

After a called strike, it's ball four.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I, um, didn't advocate that.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yadier Molina wouldn't dare break our hearts, would he?

[seawolf17]

Yadier Fucking Molina? Are you kidding me, Cardinals?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I hat Molina.

Frankie needs to get his act together -- now.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Check-swing call goes Yadier's way on the first pitch.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Whoa! Pujols ALMOST picked off second base!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wright was jumping for joy, expecting an out call.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Molina hits it deep, but it's caught.

Game over! Happy recap!
