IGT 05/24 - Mets at Gnats

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think that when it's Campbell's turn to bat, the Mets should sent Yoenis Cespedes to the plate wearing an Eric Campbell wig. Who knows? They might get away with it!

[Centerfield]

And if they mention skin color, we can call them racist!

Well, when you consider that #7-9 are: the catcher with a 573 career OPS (compared to Campbell's 635), the 28 y/o making his ML debut, and the pitcher, it's not like there are a lot of great choices for 6th

The excitement builds.

[Guest cooby]

Update? Did it start?

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, if they were hoping that Strasburg would have an off day, he's not looking like he's going to oblige.

Yes, after one inning, 0-0 Mets.
Matt looks good. Strass looks...I won't say great. He looks good too.(he has thrown some perfect pitches GRRrrr)

[Zvon]

I said Harvey should grow his hair. Looks like he cut his hair. Hey, whatever works. Booth says he has a new pitch.

[ashie62]

Campbell whiffs, shocking.

[Edgy MD]

Striking out Daniel Murphy is a heckuva good sign, no?

I mean, it's not like striking out Ichiro, but it may be the next best thing.

[Edgy MD]

Walking Rendon... not as good a sign.

[ashie62]

WE NEED A HIT

[Edgy MD]

What do you mean we? My feed says the Nats are batting.

Hey, Jon Niese, that infield defense you were so excited about? I brought it with me.

� Neil Walker

Walks can lead to baseball death. Nice play Walker!

[ashie62]

lotta strikeouts tonight.

[ashie62]

WE NEED A HIT

[Zvon]

Ha. Harvey ain't hittin no homers tonight. He bailed out on every pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

So we've had two ML debuts in the last week-plus and we've made them face first Scherzer (Reynolds) and now Strasburg (Kelly).

[ashie62]

Well done Harvey,

WE NEED A HIT

[Edgy MD]

Marc Carig in the booth to share his thoughts.

[Edgy MD]

What do you think of that home run action, Marc Carig?

[ashie62]

LIKE DAT

[Frayed Knot]

That qualifies as a HIT

[Lefty Specialist]

You've been Asdrubaled!

[Zvon]
