IGT 6/7/2017: NYM@TEX, Wheeler@Darvish

[Frayed Knot]

In Blevins I trust.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

oh ffs

[metirish]

Absolute fuck , 2 run HR

[Guest d'Kong76]

I knew I shoulda went to bed...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Bullpen strikes again.

Wheeler deserved better.

[Chad ochoseis]

If you guys back east heard someone yelling "FUCK" just now, that was me.

Et tu, Jerry?

[Guest 41Forever]

Dammit.

This team just gives away wins.

[Frayed Knot]

Unbelievable!!
Blevins was one pitch away from a 1-2-3 seven-pitch inning after he got 0-2 on Mazara, but he never got the third strike.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know what else strikes again ... the curse of the backup catcher!!

If I get ambitious over the next few days I'm going to start counting up how many HRs this staff has served up to backup backstops this year.

[Frayed Knot]

Run for Lucas?
Terry says Yes!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Can Reyes come through with a 2 pout hit with RISP?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh eow

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Noivus

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Safe!

[Frayed Knot]

Never had it Andrus.
If this is over-turned on review I want it appealed to the World Court in The Hague.



Now let's have d'Arnaud knock the prison tattoos off this guy for some insurance runs.

And I was going to say no. We might need a deep bench tonight. But it turned out to be the right move.

So was I.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Reyes with a soft grounder up the middle. Odor fields it and spikes the throw in the dirt and Andrus can't handle it cleanly. Reynolds scores to give Mets the lead.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

the Mets are 3 outs away from a a nice win. Come on Reed.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Books.

[Frayed Knot]

Reynolds was so deep against Gallo that he practically needed a relay man for that 4-3 put-out.

[Edgy MD]

Mets win a game with four hits, a night after losing a game despite a million of 'em.

Let's turn this ship around.

[Guest themetfairy]

[Frayed Knot]

And Jerry Blevins vultures the win.

I think the official scorer should have the discretion to give the win to Wheeler in a game like this. I know that there's the "brief-and-ineffective" rule, but you rarely see it, and when it does get invoked, the win seems to always go to the pitcher who came after Mr. Brief-And-Ineffective, and not to the one who preceded him.

Anyway...



Cast your vote!

Yes, I think that's right. There's no precedence for retroactively assigning the win to a guy who wasn't in the game at any point during or after the lead was grabbed for good.
So that leaves only Reed but, since you can't get a win and a save in the same game, the 'W' goes to Mr. Vulture du jour.
