IGT 09/15 -- MIA at NYM

[Zvon]

I swear if we give this back I won't watch another game for the rest of the season.

Well, I'll watch deGroms next start. Thing is, win or lose, his performance tonight clinches the ROY.

[Edgy MD]

This is unsettling.

Bour has a lot of Rusty Staub in him.

[Zvon]

Bases all stinkyfished. 1 out. 8th.
5-3 NY

[Zvon]

5-5.

G'night folks. Cya next season.

[Edgy MD]

Grandy was too deep there, playing the opposite field against Hecheverria.

Probably wouldn't have mattered. He's gonna be in left next year, right?

[Edgy MD]

Jenrry coming on.

Like Gil said about Nolan, it's no big deal to bring him in with the bases loaded. He's loaded them himself often enough that he's used to it.

[Lefty Specialist]

Don't like bringing in Mejia in the 8th with a runner on 3rd.

Prove me wrong, Jenrry.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, fuck.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of flares off the end of the bat this inning. Bluhb.

[Edgy MD]

Let's turn this 'un around.

[Edgy MD]

Waddaya calling, umpie?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Biggest gut-punch loss of the year. How come it seems like the Marlins always deliver the biggest gut punches?

[Frayed Knot]

Well that certainly sucked.

For the record (like this place is a record or anything) I would have left Edgin in. He got the one righty out, why not another? I know the hit off Mejia was a bloopy P.O.S. which doesn't 'prove' it was the wrong move, I just thought it was an unnecessary one.





And can someone explain to me how the Yanx/Rays have taken 3:20 (and counting) to play 8-1/2 innings of a scoreless tie ? What the hell have they been doing for the last 200 minutes?
Only 10 hits and 5 walks [u:2cigfboq]combined[/u:2cigfboq]!!

oe: Rays win, Rays win on a bases-loaded single in the bottom 9th.
3:30 for a 1-0 games with 11 hits total.

[MFS62]

Just got home, checked out the box score.
Who the fuck are those guys?
And why isn't Kirk starting? A few days ago there was a WSJ article* that pointed out the great winning percentage in games he has started. Ever since then, he hasn't started.
And recent reports have indicated that TC is coming back?
Somebody please tell me what his skills are, because reading stats isn't apparently one of them

I'm curious about how many of those fish-hits were opposite field on sliders away --- effective pitches for deGrom, Familia, and Mejia all, but if you don't come up and in on occasion, they're gonna get those hits off the end of the bat just by protecting away. A little memo to d'Arnaud, there.

Why Kirk isn't starting is a thread unto itself.
