IGT 6/10 Mets vs. Brewers Harvey Day!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Henderson out with finger malfunction.

[Frayed Knot]

And now the Brewer runner has a finger(s) malfunction.

[Fman99]

Wow. Ten innings in and I'm all out of sobriety and concentration skills... where does the day go?

Wilmer the man!

[Frayed Knot]

Damn, more RiSP w/no outs ... WE'RE DOOMED!!!!

[Edgy MD]

I might've sent Cabrera just because I don't want to face the three more at bats with the go-ahead run on third.

But he broke stride less than half-way to third.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Just go sit down, Plewyucky.

[Edgy MD]

One.

And yes, I would have sent Cabrera on that popup.

To his likely doom, of course, but I'd've sent him.

[Frayed Knot]

This may be the worst-played baseball game in the history of mankind.

[Edgy MD]

That's some solid Babe Ruth-level beisbol right there.

[Frayed Knot]

And we STILL don't have a run-scoring hit - despite 15 baserunners !!

Also notable is that, once the play was made at second, the force is lifted off of Flores, but he took off anyshmutz.

What the hell?

[Edgy MD]

Now Familia has to pitch with a one-run lead.

Crazypants baseball tonight.

And if Gennett had managed to tag Flores before he got out of arm's reach it may have been quick enough to negate the run.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Even watching all these replays, don't think I've ever seen
anything quite like it. Bizzarro, in a bizzarro game.

[Edgy MD]

I'll tell you, Elvira hasn't moved the whole game.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Let's not forget, Harvey is back!!

[Frayed Knot]

J.F. with a rare (lately anyway) no-muss, no-fuss save.

[Edgy MD]

#3 behind the plate kept throwing Fonzie thumbs up after every pitch.

Best save in months for Familia.

[Edgy MD]

Only the fourth time in team history the team has allowed three or fewer hits in a game that went 11 innings or more.

The team is the first Wild Card team with a game-and-a-half lead on the second. They've won three in a row and sit two and a half off the division lead.

All sounds pretty good... for a team not playing particularly well.

[TransMonk]

That was a very fun game...even if not very well played. Lots of Mets fans in town, I'm guessing due to the 7 Line game on Saturday.

I'm not sure what was up with these ass-eaters.


Scored seats in front of the on deck circle.

A quick synopsis on the recent hitting incompetency

Over the last two games the Mets have had 22 at bats with 2 or more runners on base: 2 became Sac Bunts (both successful!!) and 2 were intentional walks, so we're really down to 18 here. Of those 18:
- 4 resulted in Ks
- 5 infield pop-ups!
- 2 fly outs, neither of which scored a run (too shallow or with two outs)
- 3 ground-outs (no runs)
- 3 singles, but only two of which left the infield and only one which resulted in runs
- and finally last night's line-out/fire-drill which somehow resulted in a run and only one out

So BA-wise they were 3/18 (.167) and only 4 times out of those 18 did they get the ball out of the infield.
Just 2 at-bats resulted in RBI(s): Plawecki's rather weak seeing-eye single (2 RBI) Thursday night, last night's FC/line-out that was first dropped and then misplayed (1 run).

So, the number of boners the Brewers� middle infield committed on what eventually turned out to be the game-losing play:

[*:3sq7nkmt]Villar dropped an utterly catchable liner.[/*:m:3sq7nkmt]
[*:3sq7nkmt]He elected not to go throw home. It would have been forsaking the double-play, but the presence of the force and hard-hit ball made it a perfectly sound (if not risk-free) option for preserving the tie.[/*:m:3sq7nkmt]
[*:3sq7nkmt]He made a bad feed to second, further undermining the double play (which would have been a cinch had he caught the liner).[/*:m:3sq7nkmt]
[*:3sq7nkmt]Second baseman Gennett still could have possibly held the bag while fielding that ball, but failed, and instead had to come off and double back for the force, killing any sliver of a chance remaining for the no-run-scoring double-play.[/*:m:3sq7nkmt]
[*:3sq7nkmt]Gennett chased down a runner that was already out.[/*:m:3sq7nkmt]
[*:3sq7nkmt]A runner that was safe (Flores) panicked and came off the bag, and Gennett ignored him, allowing a potential insurance run to reach third instead of ending the inning.[/*:m:3sq7nkmt][/list:o:3sq7nkmt]

So yeah, if we can continue to hold teams to three hits or fewer over 11 innings, and get their go-ahead runs overturned on appeal, and just hold out until they eventually trip over their own feet and set themselves on fire, we should be good. Sound like a plan?

I didn't get to see the bazaar end of this game until a few minutes ago. And all I can say ATM is I want to see that again.

[Guest d'Kong76]

This little guy just cracks me up every time.
