IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals

[Guest cooby]

We are DUE. DUE I tell ya!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think, for my own sanity, I may consider ignoring this game tomorrow. We'll see...

[Frayed Knot]

At least it's not like we're tremendously shorthanded and have to face Scherzer on national television or anything.

[ashie62]

Good day for a nap or yardwork.

"Sunny Sunday" perhaps but not at 8:05. Howie said today "that's 8:05 PM... 8:05 AM would be preferable."

[Centerfield]

What is more likely tonight? A Scherzer no-hitter or a Mets win?

Looking forward to Zack Wheeler nibbling around and hitting 75 pitches in 3 innings.

[MFS62]

C'mon guys.
Kick some butt.

Did not know that.

[ashie62]

May or may not watch.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh do keep us informed.

If it's that same dickhead ESPN team as that other Sunday night, I'm not

Watch it on ESPN Deportes. It is WAY less annoying than the regular ESPN broadcasts.

[Frayed Knot]

I suspect it'll be back to ESPN's standard SNB crew of Schulman, Mendoza, Boone - meaning no clown shows involving Dallas Braden except for the pregame nonsense.




Back to the game itself:
Nats bullpen in 2017 prior to the NYM series: 42 IP, 28 runs allowed on 49 Hits including [u:fgcpntl8]10 HRs[/u:fgcpntl8] and 17 XBH, plus 17 walks
Nats bullpen vs NYM: 7 scoreless and hitless innings w/2 walks

[G-Fafif]

After the sunny Sunday is blanketed in darkness, the Mets will try to light up the night with this lineup:

Conforto LF
Cabrera SS
Bruce 1B
Walker 2B
Granderson RF
Reyes 3B
Plawecki C
Lagares CF
Wheeler P

Not a bad lineup all things considered. Plawecki gets another shot.

I don't think we get that. I live in Amish country, not hot Latinos

[G-Fafif]

Meanwhile, in the other dugout...

Eaton CF
Turner SS
Harper RF
Zimmerman 1B
Murphy 2B
Rendon 3B
Werth LF
Wieters C
Scherzer P

Facing the Mets line up is apparently how pitching staffs pad their stats. Beyond the home run hitting, there is little about the Mets offense to like. I expecti Scherzer to dominate the Mets hitters as the Nationals cruise to a series sweep.

Back to back games with the blue alt jerseys!

[Zvon]

Reyes is in the lineup. I predict Jose's gonna have a big game. He's GOTTA have a big game!

If the Mets aren't supercharged and up for this game it'll be tough to watch.

Awww, that didn't "hit" him...

[Guest 41Forever]

I hat this game already.

[Zvon]

Howie (radio) is a pitch ahead of the ESPN TV broadcast. I can deal w/that. I'll hear what's going to happen from Howie before it happens.

Damn, nice try by Cabby.

[Zvon]

bases all Natted up, no outs.

[Guest 41Forever]

I really, really, really hat this game now.

Murph.

[Zvon]

Unfuckinbelievable.

Muffy w/the granny.

4-0

[Guest 41Forever]

A barely HBP.
An infield hit.
A bloop single.

Poor Wheeler.

[Guest 41Forever]

Conforto-kaboom!!!

I feel a little bit better.

[Zvon]

I'm gonna try to stick this gtame out. There's a Man From UNCLE marathon on the DECADES channel. Very tempting.......
