IGT 4/22 Nats at Mets #LGM

[Fman99]

SNY broadcast, 4:05 start, deGrom vs. Gio Gonzalez.

Fboy and I made up a fun game where we switch the first letter sounds of the players' first and last names to give them funny monikers, like "Flilmer Worres" and "Hatt Marvey" and "Grurtis Canderson."

You try to say Grurtis without laughing, I dare ya.

[Fman99]

Apparently Gean Silmartin on stand by if Dacob JeGrom's neck is still too stiff to allow him to pitch.

[Guest cooby]

Hatt Marvey is pretty good too

[Edgy MD]

That Álex Torres sure had a hatt marvey. I'll say that much.

Let's home Recty Rollins has a full roster to work with.

[Frayed Knot]

Shouldn't that be Kerry Tollins?
Reminds me of the time we decided that whenever Chad Bradford had a bad day it was actually the fault of his evil twin Brad Chadford


Well, whatever it should be, here the lineup he's putting out there today:

LAGARES - CF
CONFORTO - LF
CABRERA - SS
BRUCE - 1B
WALKER - 2B
GRANDERSON - RF
R RIVERA - 3B
TJ RIVERA - C
deGROM - P

[Benjamin Grimm]

Good to see deGrom will be making the start. And Cabrera too.

[Zvon]

Conforto in vs. a lefty. I like.

Draws a one out walk in the first.

Not like Terry had other options.

[ashie62]

No d'Arsuck. He will end up on the DL yet.

[ashie62]

T.J is catching?

Nah. TJ has 3rd, Rene catching.

Raining lightly off & on.

A bases loaded single gets the Nats on the board. Muffy tries to score on the play and is out by a MILE!

1-0 visiting team.

[Centerfield]

This team is pathetic.

[Zvon]

It is getting difficult to watch. Thank God for Muffy and his comic relief.

Good thing we wore Gio out with all those pitches in the 1st inning.


Meanwhile, against deGrom, the Nats are either making zero contact or hard contact.
Aside from the Murphy & Weiters pop-ups to end the top 6th, they've either been smoking balls or striking out. Tough to explain that.

[Zvon]

Grandy flashing some leather. Great catch.

Oy...

[Zvon]

An Eaton walk and a Turner single ends Jacob's day.
deGrom out, Edgin in.

1st & 2nd, 2 out, 6th. Bryce up.

deGrom with 6 walks today, 10 Ks. Strange day for the deGrominator.

[Zvon]

Edgin Ks Harper. Niiiiiice.

[Zvon]

Lags singles in the 6th. Thank you Juan.

3-1

I'd reject this review - but I'd reject all of these microscopic reviews just to keep the managers from nit-picking.


... but the umps in Chelsea don't agree

Amazin'. I thought he was safe for sure.

[Zvon]

Gio is done with one down in the Mets 7th.

I couldn't tell whether he was safe or out and if that's the case you stick with the call on the field every time.
Then, if you do that, it cuts the number of challenges in half as managers would only go after the more obvious missed calls which is what the replay rule was designed to be in the first place.

[Frayed Knot]

Meanwhile, the Nats bullpen came into this series with an ERA north of 5.00 and WHIP of nearly 1.5 ... but we haven't gotten a hit off them in six innings so far.

[Edgy MD]

And Dusty Baker sticks with the lefty. Who's the dinosaur now?
