IGT, 10/12/2015, NLDS Game 3, Anderson vs. Harvey

Can we have a quick 1-2-3 inning please?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Harvey needs to get some quick innings if we want him to go more than five.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Terry: 115 pitches tops.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd like to thank E Hernandez (Jewish or not) for grounding out on a 2-0 pitch in front of the pitcher's spot whilst Harvey is having so much trouble finding the plate.

Right now the replay system getting knocked out of commission can only be an improvement.

[Centerfield]

Come on Harvey! Get your shit together.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Kendrick's first pitch is three inches further outside than the pitch Pederson walked on and it's called a strike! Blue, you blow.

[TransMonk]

1-2-BB-3 is the best Matt can do.

I'll take it.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Shutdown inning!!!

[TransMonk]

MORE RUNS, please.

Harvey has 37 pitches left. Enough for two scoreless innings.

So five innings, maybe six if things start to move smoothly from here on out.
In a well-pitched game, 115 should get you through 8. But tonight it's going to leave us with 3-4 innings to cover with the pen.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Dodgers get the Wood up.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Everybody hits!

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Alex Wood throws like Sidd Finch.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Let's see if Harvey can bunt.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Lagares gets some Wood on Wood.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Butcher boy something right into the leprechaun's beard.

[Frayed Knot]

Good point by Ronnie, a better CF maybe runs down either Grandy's shot or Lagares's.
But Joc Pederson isn't hitting, Carl Crawford doesn't run like he used to, and Willie Davis ain't walking through that door tonight.

[Zvon]

Gotta be able to do the little things too Matt.

No, he can't.

Don't slide back into Rollins. Put your helmet in his chest.

[TransMonk]

I think it should be part of professional pride that every post-season starting pitcher in the NL knows how to properly execute a sac bunt.

[Frayed Knot]

And our Sac Bunting average plunges further - took 3 shots at it there, failed to get it down on all 3.
I swear next season I'm going to start tracking this (as yet) non-existent stat.

You can call them "Can't Bunts" or, perhaps, come up with some clever contraction for that phrase.

[Ceetar]

maybe they shouldn't have tried to bunt. duh.

[TransMonk]

Make 'm pay, Murph.

"Ban'ts" or do you have something else in mind?
