IGT 07/21 -- Mets at Mariners

[Zvon]

Wow. Nice catch.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, Ack!

[nymr83]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

[Edgy MD]

That's one tough-to-impress guy sitting behind the wall.

[Zvon]

Seeing Endy almost eases the pain. Almost.

[Edgy MD]

OK, time to build off of a good half inning on defense.

[TransMonk]

d'Arnaud shows Ackley he can play D too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Indeed-- borderline illegal gun use there from Lil' d... Phwoar.

"Forearm cramp" for Elias. Often the tip of an elbow-issue iceberg for power pitchers, innit?

[Edgy MD]

Ruben starts it off. Tying run on deck.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Endy in. Endy makes an out. I miss Endy.

[Zvon]

Seeing current Endy does not thrill me.

Could Duda be starting something?

[Edgy MD]

We've had the runners on all night. Can't get the big hit.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Every inning tonight... abortive start after abortive start.

[Zvon]

Back to striking out instead of moving em over.

CYoung on the DL would not be a bad thing (of course I wish him the best).

[Zvon]

Ahh, your gettin' old Endy.

[Edgy MD]

There's the leadoff hit.

Let's build on it a little. Or a lot.

[Zvon]

Ahhh, home plate ump, you're gettin' worse.

[Edgy MD]

Doug Edgy callin' a wide plate tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Zunino moves around pretty well around the plate.

Granderson, tonight at least, does not. Blech.

[Edgy MD]

OK, keep hitting eggs to Cano. We've got that working for us.

[Zvon]

I protest this game because I don't think all the lights are on. See, Canoodle couldn't see it.

2-5

[Zvon]

OO, nice curve, way to stay in there Davey.

[Zvon]

Damn. I yelled DROP! pretty loud there.

[Edgy MD]

That dude balked the last 8 pitches he threw.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So it's to be one of those West Coast trips, then.

[Zvon]

So it's to be one of those West Coast trips, then.

And one of those returns from the AS break.

Not too late to turn that around tho. Reel off five in a row.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of solid pitching that the team is running into, and you've got to play clean ball and execute when you run into that. You just can't waste your few opportunities.

At least in theory. Last night, it was... you just can't waste your many opportunities, which are available to you every inning.

I'm wondering if The Pitchers-Fall-Down Game will become etched in history.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Broadly sated, execution has been the issue all year long for this team and as much as the club appears devoted to Terry, someone ought to answer for it.

[TransMonk]

I agree with JCL.
