IGT 7/1 CHC@NYM

[Fman99]

Maddon leaving his pitcher out there to just twist in the wind. How great.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Wow. Cabrera bomb. Do doubt about that one, either.

[Lefty Specialist]

Hey, is baseball allowed to be like this?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

This game is official, right?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Now, for sure. It can rain hard again.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

And here it is.

With a 9-run lead and five full innings, deGrom's gotta be done.

Round Three with Jerry Blevins in the ring.

[Edgy MD]

Blevins against Bryant seems like less than an ideal matchup.

[Edgy MD]

IDEAL it is!

[Edgy MD]

It's funny. The booth starts making Tommy jokes just as I'm thinking that Blevins would look like young Pete Townsend if he grew his hair out.

Boo, Reds! Slackers.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Robles just walked a relief pitcher. Sigh.

Not to advocate for De Aza, but C�spedes should be out of there.

[Frayed Knot]

Not to give anyone unneeded agita, but there was an 8-run 9th inning in baseball just yesterday (Tampa).

The NimmoBomb shocked the shit out of me. I thought he was a little spray hitter. If he can hit them that far...oh baby.

If they can keep hitting 3-5 HRs a game I'll get off their case RE:lack of small ball. Because a homer barrage is really fun to watch.

[Edgy MD]

By all accounts, Nimmo has displayed batting practice homer prowess all through the minors. While his power output has gone up only modestly as he climbed the ladder, there remained some hope that it was still a nascent skill within him.

[Frayed Knot]

He's certainly big enough to hit HRs and #1 for him certainly had plenty of room to spare. Plus there's the old adage about power being the last skill to come around with young players.




Just now watching the early innings of the game that I mostly missed last night, Maddon trying to squeeze an extra inning (the 5th) out of Hammel isn't going to make the top managerial moves of the year highlight reel.

Cast your vote!

That guy's not going to corner me and try to sell me insurance right after I step out of the voting booth, is he?

I'm afraid I can't promise he won't.
