IGT 07/07 - Nationals at Mets - Time to Rock!

Lucas Giolito (0-0, 0.00) vs Uncle Bartolo (7-4, 2.87)

This series represents a wide swing in the standings based on the outcomes. It makes for exciting baseball before the break.

[ashie62]

Yes it does. The Harvey news has sucked most of the wind out of me.

Logan Verrett is going to start one of these games.

[soupcan]

With the ASG break coming he'll probably only miss 2-3 starts, tops. I'm guessing there's nothing physically wrong with him anyway.

Give him an extended bit of time to work on things without worrying about the next start. It's not like they can't replace what little he's been giving them lately anyway.

Okay so I was wrong about Harv being hurt but my other point still stands.

Tough time to sit Flores.

[soupcan]

I thought for sure Wilma would get a start at 1B today.

[Lefty Specialist]

Giolito was born 383 days after Colon was originally signed by the Indians. That's crazy.

It's mojo-messin' bullshit is what it is.

[ashie62]

Flores is getting screwed today.

[Edgy MD]

Second walk for Giolito. Hopefully, he brought some of his wildness from AAA.

[Lefty Specialist]

Harper is really strong, kids.

About as strong as Travis.
OK I'd probably bet on Harper in a weightlifting contest, but the results were the same.

[Edgy MD]

Now 4-3 in a VERY solo-homery game as Jos� Reyes refamiliarizes himself with the Citi Field bleachers.

[Zvon]

Gah . Amazing that he's never walked. And that was ball 4,lol.

I saw lil d's shot. Not Harper's

BIG PURPLE REYES!!!

[Zvon]

This is that super prospect from last week on the mound?

Man, balk, he's fallin' apart.

[Edgy MD]

Baker comes with the hook. Ollie Perez time.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Reyes hit the heck out of that! I'm liking this game a lot better now.

[Zvon]

Impressive. We answer right back, one of my favorite things to do.
4-4 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Two steals on one pitch? That's usually two weeks' output for the Mets.

And look, Cespy is sliding and everything.

[Zvon]

Wowzers. Double steal!!!!!!eww, that was close too.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Gutsy call with a lefty at the plate, too!

[Zvon]

Muffy in position, once again, to stick it to us.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Big time double play!!!!

Or not.

[Zvon]

Oh maaaaaaaaaan. This will be reversed. Gah, that was a HUGE DP.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, an inning-ending double play!

Hey, a potential challenge!

The rule would work so much better if you forced teams to make challenges based on the evidence of their own eyes, rather than getting to review the tape themselves.

[Frayed Knot]

I have no idea what the rules of this game are anymore.
