IGT 04/28 - Mets (time to rock) the Nats

[Frayed Knot]

We had Scherzer in least partial pitch-count danger (more than 5 innings worth of pitches in 4 IP) but pretty much just put him back on track with a 1-2-3 inning on six pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Getting Rivera going would be nice.

[Edgy MD]

Is deGrom stepping up or what?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hot damn, deGrom looks filthy

[Lefty Specialist]

101 pitches after 6. Terry better let him go out for the 7th.

[Frayed Knot]

Let's beat up this pen, OK?
Shit everyone else has, it's this team's one true weakness so far.

[Edgy MD]

There's this historical belief, that I think is overstated, which holds that Ron Darling was a good pitcher, but anytime that Gooden and Fernandez or Gooden and Cone or Gooden and Viola or Cone and Viola or Gooden and Saberhagen or whoever weren't available, Darling could never step up and BE the #1 pitcher.

Like I said, I think it's been overstated, although Darling has said as much himself, but I'm kind of digging in a big way that deGrom is doing this with Syndergaard questionable and Harvey grinding and the Mets on the skids of late.

Stay gold, deGromowitz.

Ronnie has a tendency to overdo the 'I wasn't that good' angle about his own career.
It's an easy trap for announcers to fall into and maybe my one complaint about his style is that he should do that less often.

[Guest cooby]

Score?

[Frayed Knot]

Nice catch by Grandy but I would have felt a whole lot better with Lagares out there chasing it.
Terry could have PH'd Lagares last inning for Grandy after they IW'd Walker but Dusty would have instantly switched to the RH Blanton anyway.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Safe. Let's pack on a few runzzzz here

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whaddaya say, Wecky.

[Edgy MD]

Holy shit. Plawecki, Reyes, d'Arnaud, Rivera.

WHO ARE GUYS I WANT TO SEE GET THEIR THING GOING, ALEX?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well that was a shit ab from Cabrera

This is a problem that has never plagued Keith Hernandez.

7-3 Good Guys.

[Edgy MD]

Harper going down and Blevvy earns his white hat.

[Frayed Knot]

That's why we pay Jerry Blevins the sorta kinda big money.

Who is this dude in Zimmerman's clothes?

Yeah, anyone who had THAT in the pool come collect your winnings.
15 HRs last year in 450 ABs. 10 now in less than 80

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm more worried about the dude in Reed's clothes.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I just got in from the local beer garden and tried to tune into the game. MLB has once again decided that I am within the local blackout area for theis game. I'm over 500 miles from freakin' CitiField. They will never sucker me into paying for MLB.com again. I'm blocked for over half of the Mets home games.

oh....Let's Go Mets!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Well, José, that was an unkind thing to do.

I'm worried that the one in Familia's clothes now has a smaller margin to work with.
He's been walking too many so far in a small sample.

That's about being within the Nats' zone, not the Mets', no?

[Guest d'Kong76]

I really expected Werth to jack one there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Terryble result for that pitching change. Cabrera could have made this all unnecessary

Probably, just getting home and signing in, I had forgotten that this series was in Washington. However, I was blocked from mosrt of the recent Atlanta series at CitiField.

Is this MLB.TV?
What I suspect is that they've decided you're within the Nationals 'home' area and so you're blocked that way.

You should be able to find out which teams you're blocked for when you sign up for that service.
I figure for you it would just be the Braves but some areas "overlap" and you can get two or more on the no-go list. That both are division rivals for the Mets just makes it worse since that's 38 games right there.
