IGT 05/01 - Giants @ Mets

[Edgy MD]

Two out, tying run on deck.

Let's go, Campy.

[Edgy MD]

It's amazin' what tricks these unis are playing on my mind.

I'm seeing Howard Johnson on third and Dave Magadan at the plate, inexplicably batting right-handed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

BIG walk for Soup.

[Zvon]

Good nuff. Walks as good as anything vs Bumm.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Hosed!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cabrera wuz robbed

[Zvon]

Ugh. Get away from my player ump. Don't be engaging, thankyouverymuch.




Ump sucks

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

yeah that call sbhmc

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

why did Bummy hit there? Will he really go more?

I thought the same thing but Garr expected it. I guess cause he hits homers sometimes. I thought @4-0 was too close for him to be batting there.

Yep, he's done. Now maybe we have a chance.

[Edgy MD]

Juan's been hitting hard fouls all game. It's about time one dropped in.

[Zvon]

TriLAGGY.....oh shit. It hit a fan.


Wow. I thought it only caught rail but...OW.

[Edgy MD]

Hunter Pence hides behind the rulebook!

[Zvon]

He should have played it out.

[Zvon]

Ha! just saw that one view. hate to have to say it but that fan sucks. U gotta make that catch.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, if all a manager who has already spent his replay challenge needs to do to get another one is simply ask the umps to do one anyway, then they might as well throw out the so-called one challenge limit and just review every single play.
Sure the games will now be 5-1/2 hours instead of 3-1/2 but they'll get every play right* and that's what everyone seems to want!



* except for the ones they won't

[Edgy MD]

Scoring under way.

[Zvon]

Niiiiiice.

5-1 Ex NY Team

I totally agree. The manager should not be allowed to approach the ump in this situation. He could yell from the dugout but he shouldn't be able to just waltz out there.

[Edgy MD]

Phooey on first-pitch swinging.

[Guest d'Kong76]

May, here we come!

Or, here's a novel thought: actually stick to the one-incorrect challenge rule and then managers wouldn't be so quick to challenge every out/safe by-a-hair play in the 1st inning.
As things stands now, challenging every nit-picky call at any point in any game has become almost an automatic for skippers this season as they obviously feel there's no downside to it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Been watching Talladega between innings. Lots of quality wrecks today

I agree. We both brought this up before the season even began.

Posey's a pansy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Lookin this chump with the counterfeit deGrom 'do. Couple hits to start El Comebacko

[Edgy MD]

Tying run on double deck. That's Duda or Granderson.

[Edgy MD]

Duda comes up now. Tying run is now the leadoff hitter, Laggy.

[Edgy MD]

Bochy, you're managing scared.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Grandy.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Not quite what I was hoping for from Duda and Granderson.
