IGT #54 - Mets @ Padres 6/3/15

[Edgy MD]

Two errata for Rubens tonight.

Muffy, on the other hand, steals an out by stretching like a first baseman at second.

[Zvon]

6 man rotation, huh?

[Frayed Knot]

I have trouble remembering our last successful sac bunt.
I also have trouble remembering the last time a sac bunt against us wasn't successful - usually effortlessly and on the first pitch it seems.

[Frayed Knot]

I think I've figured out the Padres' game plan: hit 52 liners to short CF in a row.
We should try that.

[Frayed Knot]

HAS ANYBODY ON THE METS CAUGHT A FUCKING BALL TONIGHT?????

[Edgy MD]

Good point.

[Zvon]

This is pretty pathetic. I'm being generous using the word pretty.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, look, Recker missed a catch.

That may be a case where a runner was almost hurt by the catcher trying to stay out of his path, and then contorting himself to try to make the catch.

Too much rotten happening tonight. And now, the end to Gee's record of consecutive mediocrity.

Let's see now:
- bouncer to Ruben ... NOPE
- Ruben's throw to Duda ... NOPE
- comebackers to Gee ... NOPE
- Recker's throw to Murphy ... NOPE
- Gee's throw to Recker ... NOPE


So I think we're down to Wilmer's throw to Murphy and maybe a ritual flip to Duda from the dugout as he came off at the end of the inning (although I'm just assuming Lucas caught those though I didn't actually see him catch any).

[Edgy MD]

Well, that first out took a while.

lol. I did need a laugh.

[Edgy MD]

Mayberry batting against a righty. THIS is rightfully Castellanos' at-bat!!

[Zvon]

They should install a tight netting from the OF wall to cover that kids sand box.
No 'lil tike has ever gotten beaned in there?

Grandy scores to get my attention. Tejada ripped a double down the LF line.

Duda, we need a blast!

[Edgy MD]

Well, the game began at 9, but the Mets start at 11. Keep the line moving!

[Edgy MD]

Smurphed.

[Zvon]

Muff throws water on the fire with a GIDP.

[Fman99]

Went back and forth between this fucktastrophe of a game and the film "12 Monkeys" on the SciFi channel, and couldn't figure out which was sadder, that movie or this game.

I love the music in that. Quirky soundtrack that had an impact.

And it's only the 6th. I thought this kinda torture was against the law.

It's looking like a lost opportunity for the Mets to pick up ground on the teams closest to them. Nats, Braves, Cubs and Giants all lost today.

[Frayed Knot]

Good news: only singles for the Pads tonight
Bad News: they have 416 of them

Just after he gets a few knocks in.

Campbell kills a rally with a DP. Soupy? Wassup? You've been useless!

7-2

[Edgy MD]

So, Maurer looks pretty deadly.

[Edgy MD]

Use the bunt, Luke.

[Edgy MD]

Or take an HbP. That works.

[Edgy MD]

Flores' speed issues cost us there.

[Zvon]

They hit Duda in the bad knee. If we don't slap one of them in the back before this game is over I will be visibly upset. Not as visibly upset as yesterday, but still....

[Edgy MD]

Did I actually stay up this late to see Craig Fucking Kimbrel?

[Edgy MD]

Middlebrooks let that ball go by like he had money on the Mets.
