IGT Laborious Day Game Day 9/7 Mets vs Nats

[Frayed Knot]

This just in: Conforto can hit.

I know he didn't just there but it was also a line drive off a LOOGY specialist (redundancy alert!!) to go along with all the other stuff he's done lately including first-pitch jumping Scherzer and taking him out to the opposite field.

Your dukes, sir. Present them.

Zimmerman looks pissed at getting quick-pitched ... but tough shit dude!

HA! Recker is all mine!

[TransMonk]

If you're in the box, be ready to hit. It's pretty simple.

[Edgy MD]

One of the many stupid things about only using Familia in a save situation is that he's been on ice for like a week now.

Otherwise don't get in the box until you are ready.

I don't love it. Seems a little un-sporting, but outs are outs with this bully. Zim was in the box and shoula been more prepared to go.

[TransMonk]

7th inning relief? No big deal.

[Frayed Knot]

Oooh, with Robles coming in on a double-switch and having just thrown a 1-2-3 / 10-pitch inning, you gotta come back with him to at least start the bottom 8th.

If you're in the box and the pitcher is on the rubber, you've got no beef IMO on being quick-pitched.
The time in Philly was a bit different in that their complaint was that Darrin Ruf had his head down at the time. Zimmerman has no such complaint.

[nymr83]

Keith breaking out the racial stereotypes!

[Lefty Specialist]

A bit wary about going a second inning with Robles, though.

Ronnie, and it was a nationality stereotype, not a racial one.

Nah, I agree with you guys and said as much. It's just not my fav move either way.

My neighbor came to the door and bothered me. What'd Ronnie say?

I'd agree with you, but I ain't managing the Mets. They're going to the eighth-inning-guyTM.

NOPE!!!

Thing is, the REAL 8th inning guy isn't available and Robles is at least as good a bet as Reed.
Had Clip-art been available then it almost certainly would have been by the book.

I've noticed the umps on this ever since Robles in Philly. They are looking for it and prepared to wave off a pitch if it's considered improper. I consider it just part of the game.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I liked that quickie on Taylor, though. Dayum.

[Frayed Knot]

If the Republicans nominated Robles on their ticket I'd vote for him.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Hot damn, what a game for Hansel.

[Zvon]

We have to invent some better catching equipment for d'Arnaud.

Something about Mexican pitchers having a good breaking ball to rely on. He did preface the statement by saying he did not mean it to be stereotypical.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Great job by Robles. Now an insurance run (or Two) would really be nice.

[Zvon]

Robles for 3! Saying it makes me nervous.

[Zvon]

Familia up in the pen.

[Lefty Specialist]

Fasten your seatbelts. Tray tables and seat backs in their upright and locked position.

I'd be tempted. Leave him in until someone gets on.
Not gonna happen though.




And this just in: The Orioles suck.
