IGT 05/20 - Brewers at Metropolitans

[Edgy MD]

Happy appeal!

[Zvon]

If they all could be that fast I would endorse replay 100%!

Con4boom!

[Frayed Knot]

Man, I didn't think he got that one.
Strength + Wind = Good

[Edgy MD]

Man, with a guy on base and everything.

I'm very confortable with that outcome.

[Zvon]

Who needs kaBOOMS when they got this stuff? I love this stuff, like, right off the wire...I mean, like a minute after the HR that's out there.

If Cespedes isn't going to slide then don't run him!!

If you're living by the long ball, I'll have to agree.

Yeah, I don't understand that at all.

[Frayed Knot]

That's a lot of baserunners allowed by old friend Carlos T. (21 hits + 12 walks in 21 innings ... now 21-1/3)

had a Pine Island IPA and a Charlie's Pale Ale at the Brewery, now a Pipeworks Careful Man, There's a Beverage Here!

should I crack open an Arrogant Bastard for the 9th?

Steven Matz becomes the Mets first LHP to give up two runs or fewer in six consecutive starts since Johan Santana from 2008-2009.

I think he's pre tty good.

[Edgy MD]

You know, if the team is willing to pursue an edge enough to have everybody in the bullpen throwing the quick pitch, all the more reason bunting for base hits should be back de table.

[Frayed Knot]

Addison Reed has not only been pretty good most of this year, but he's very efficient most of the time too.
No muss, no fuss, and no wasted time.

[Edgy MD]

Pretty on top of things for somebody who was reputed not to have the mental game down before he got here.

[Fman99]

I have no memories of Capuano in a Mets uniform. Not a one.

[Fman99]

Campbell, like Rudy Stein, probably best able to serve his team by leaning into one now and then.

I don't see the correlation. I'm not a fan of the quick pitch. I am a fan of small ball. I'm a fan of any kind of baseball.

I don't know that we should be saying we are only a home run hitting team. This team shouldn't have to live up to that. This team should be able to shift gears to small ball when dictated. So I wish TC would stop saying we live by the homer.

I kinda don't either, but I don't think he had that lumberjack-thing
going on that is so popular these days with pitchers.

[Zvon]

Fammy for the close.

3-2 Metropolitans

[Zvon]

1 down. Da sink is sinkin. Niiiiice.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bookaroonies!

boooooooks

[Frayed Knot]

A little more hitting (and a bit more luck) would have been nice, but this sure beats the hell out of 3-1/2 hour long walk-a-thons we've been suffering through lately.

[Zvon]

That was a great game *SALUTE Mr. MATZ!
