IGT 8/15/16: NYM@ARI -- It's A Tri-Heat

[G-Fafif]

The Mets are hot, hot...can they be hot a third consecutive time for the first time since Arizona was a territory? Only Buster Poindexter and Bartolo Colon know, as three in a row are on the table in the dry heat of Phoenix. Opposing the Bart of the desert is Met-killer (based on last week) Robbie Ray.

Game time is probably some time that nobody else starts games. Those Diamondbacks sure are exotic.

Gary Cohen described the weather as either walking into warm soup (humidity) or a blast furnace (dry)

Good luck on either.

Damn. I forgot it was a late start.

We should all be so subscribed just from watching this team. I think most doctors would consider it a valid reason.

[MFS62]

Pitch around Goldschmidt!
Dammit!

Later

[ashie62]

They have seen Ray so no mysteries. Big heater.

[Guest cooby]

My nighttime Xanax would have me asleep before it's over. Sounds like a plan though!

[Zvon]

Sweet Jesus. That was some mighty bad luck there. Grandy ripped it. I couldn't tell if Reyes had it stolen.

We need The Good Big Sexy Colon tonight.

[Zvon]

We didnt pitch around Goldshmidt! AHHHHHHHH. He's the 1st out tho. A very hard out.

[Edgy MD]

Come on, don't roll over for these guys in these lousy uniforms.

"I have waded through pools of my enemies' blood."

[Zvon]

Oh no! It's Bad Bart!!

[Edgy MD]

Hang in there.

If we can work this guy, chase him early, the bullpen is completely gassed from their thrashing in Boston.

[Edgy MD]

"He (Granderson) hasn't bunted in a game in 10 years." --Gary Cohen

He bunted for a hit as recently as last week. Possibly against the same team. Possibly against the same guy.

[Zvon]

I don't know how this team hasn't really driven my crazy by now. This 2016 team. We get a guy on 3rd, we get the fly, and it's Colon on 3rd. He can't tag. Oy.

3-1 Blood Sweating Uniforms


OE: not only that, we get the bases juiced for Bruce, the RBI machine. Well, not in a blue and orange uniform.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, the Mets should have at least five by now.

[Edgy MD]

Even when he walks, he wants to take his bat to first.

[Frayed Knot]

So this Ray guy (not to be confused with former punter Ray Guy) retired just 7 of the first 14 hitters he faced and now 9 of the first 18 ... and yet still just one run.

[Zvon]

HISTORIC!!!

OOO, nice slide lil d'! Nice hitting Reyes!

4-2 Bloodybacks

[Frayed Knot]

Bartolo's walk was both historical and hysterical.


btw, I'm with Gary & Keith, I would have PH'd for him.
And Ray has now thrown six innings worth of pitches just to get thru four innings so he's not long for this game either.

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, an hour and 40 minutes to get through 3-1/2 innings.
Not going to be an early one tonight.

[Zvon]

WE SHOULD YELL TO ASHIE TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T FALL ASLEEP!


Fuck. We pitched to Goldshite and he rips a triple.

[Zvon]

That desert air does not agree with Colons stuff.

5-2 _________<fill in the blank

[Frayed Knot]

NOW Wilmer gets his hit.
In typical NYM 2016 fashion he has two hits - but then K'd in the one AB where the bases were loaded.

It'll drive ya crazy if you let it. Fortunately I was crazy before I became a fan.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Doesn't look like our night.

NYM: 9 hits, 9 singles
ARZ: 12 Hits, 5 doubles, 1 triple, 6 singles

In a park built for hitting.
