Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Never a doubt!(Just kidding. I had to go do work during the 9th inning because I was too nervous.)
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 25, 2016 Author Posted May 25, 2016 I was OK with going to Familia for the 9th, especially once the power LH bats -- Harper and Clint Robinson -- were spent in the 8th.-- 4th time around the lineup, 100+ pitches under his belt, all RH ('cept for Muffie) bats due up, a rested back-end of the pen, etc.And I'm undefeated in IGT's this year (1-0 ... which brings me to about 1-21 going back to last season) !!!!
Chad ochoseis Old-Timey Member Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Two starters on the DL. Our ace pitcher sucking badly. So-so hitting. And, still, 5-1 over the last six. Not bad at all.

soupcan Old-Timey Member Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I'm watching the replay on SNY. Anybody else notice that the ball girl down the third base line only has one arm?She just picked up a foul ball (off Murph in the 6th) and tossed it into the crowd using just her glove.OE: FIRST base line.You know, I'm 51 fucking years old and I STILL has issues with right and left. WTF? Edited May 25, 2016 by Guest

Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Listened to nearly the entire game on XM, despite repeated work interruptions. Had a 4 PM doctor's appointment, and filed out of work with the game on in my headphones. I lost the signal with two strikes on Ramos -- literally, the last pitch of the game, and then flipped to XM in my ride and saw that they won.Still, I missed the call of the last pitch (not to mention Rivera's RBI which happened at some point when my life got in the way). Still a good way to pass the afternoon.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 26, 2016 Author Posted May 26, 2016 For those who may be voting at home (or even if you're alone) a nice game by Rene Rivera Wednesday afternoon.- RBI single w/2 outs and behind in the count- caught a fast runner (Taylor) stealing and had him by about six feetAnd then after the two leadoff singles by Werth & Murphy in the 9th, he first backhand-gloved a wicked slider from Familia which looked sure to move the runners up to 2nd & 3rd. But maybe more important is that the Mets weren't even holding Murphy--the tying run!!-- on at 1st figuring that the Nats wouldn't risk the double-steal that they might have tried with a different catcher back there. That allowed Campbell to play off the bag and be in perfect position to handle Rendon's sharp one-hopper which got turned into out #2 (without a force there's no play at all because Familia was late covering). That hit is a single nine times out of ten.I know the guy has no track record of hitting, but it's fun to watch a non-hitting catcher make a difference every once in a while to remind you of how valuable that can be.
