IGT 7/11: Chimichanga Night

[ashie62]

Haven't seen a number but David's HR looked like one of the longest of his career..

Great game. Double figure in hits again. Wheeler looking good. Two monster homers. The one from Wright was especially nice to see.


Hey Travis--watch the Wright post game interview. That's how a full grown MLB player talks.

T'is a strange and wonderful gift he's got.

That foul pop last night really set me off.

That, and my suspicion that he's not a real good hitter.

Easy to watch a game like this... It was very grown up..

A shot going into the postgame showed an all-business David Wright going down the gamut of his teammates, high-fiving them with his glove hand with intense seriousness. All in super slow-mo. And then, when he got to deGrom, his eyes lit up, his face broke into this free, glowing smile, and as he high-fived with his glove, his bare hand tenderly caressed Jacob's hair.

It was just guys doing their stupid homogoofing that guys do, but in super slow mo, it was fantabulous.

Loved Gary's lack-of-K's lately stat.
Swinging more and earlier = lack of swinging and missing ... what a concept!

Bonus IGT as we go to Baltimore
O's get a leadoff double (Machado) in the 10th, Buck then decides to bunt the runner over to 3rd but his guy Ks, ... AND THEY GET THE GAME-WINNING HIT ANYWAY
O's 3 - Yanx 2


shouldn't have bunted Buck, but you got the win despite yourself.

aww man, I turned it off prematurely to avoid Ojeda as per usual and missed that.


edit: through the magic of DVR I just went back and rewound. Saw what you meant except it wasn't in slow-mo..?


edit again: found it. haha. good stuff. I video'd it with my phone. uploading. will share tomorrow if anyone else wants to see.

The box score shows that Lagares got three hits and an RBI. What did he do that has someone writing him off?

The clip Edgy mentioned (gotta click since it's not YouTube, which probably violates some MLB rule or something)

only seems like regular slow-mo, not super slow-mo

fear not though, I then recorded it at 120fps (he gets to deGrom at :32, just after Harvey, who clearly deserves high fives for this one

The funniest part of that super-duper-slo-mo is leaving Harvey hanging there like a dope before he ever gets to deGrom.
