IGT, 7/22, OAK@NYM, Saturday Night Fun!

[Edgy MD]

The A's have one pitcher, in the person of Sean Manaea, on the mound. The Mets counter with Zack Wheeler and thousands upon thousands of Noah Syndergaard-as-Thor bobbleheads. Advantage!

And it's advantage they had better exploit, because going to their pen after five today means it's all hands on deck tomorrow. If that means bobblehands, so be it.

[Fman99]

If we're talking bobbleheads, then it's all hands on dick. Ya seen that hammer handle? Sheesh.

[Edgy MD]

I guess that will make his Strat owners a bit happier.

AsCab is slated to become the 163rd third baseman in Mets history, the 34th since David Wright made his debut 13 years ago yesterday, the 84th since the count was immortalized in "79 Men on Third," the first to debut at the position for the franchise since T.J. Rivera last August 10.

[Edgy MD]

Whoah, the curveball gets cracked into the black.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This isn't so fun so far

[Edgy MD]

Wheeler needs adjustment.

[Guest themetfairy]

Let's look on the bright side - it's pouring over my house right now. Maybe the storm will make it to Citi Field and rain this one out.

[ashie62]

Wow!! pouring here also... head east!

[Edgy MD]

He's pitching on his heels. Terrified of the strike zone.

[Fman99]

[ashie62]

Matt Chapman may be a serious power prospect.

6-0 A's

[Edgy MD]

Cruising toward a clean inning and BOOM! Matt Chapman.

It's a hard time to be a marginal pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

There's some sort of dirty boy's joke going on in the booth. Keith's mic has gone dead and you can hear muted laughter through Gary's.

[Fman99]

It was immediately following a visual shot of the bobblehead. Keith was calling for the camera crew to "show them the hammer too."

[Edgy MD]

We sure have a lot of extry-base hits for a team being shut out.

[Edgy MD]

There we go! 'Bout time they broke through against this flinger.

[Fman99]

Nice KABOOOMAGE there for Bruce. Maybe they can turn around this hammer-handle-punch of a game.

[Edgy MD]

While it's raining, just keep hitting it to Davis.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hit for the cycle this inning

[Edgy MD]

Rivera is the only other righty on our stupid short bench, so it's Grandy.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Grandy was running like a fridge was on his back.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not as confident as Keef that Conforto got in there. Not at all.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Another thrilling 2 minutes of replay

[Edgy MD]

Whoah!

[Guest 41Forever]

This game got a lot better.

[Edgy MD]

Inducing tappers to the mound is, like, Edgin's secret weapon.

Two innings trying to get one run back. Doable!

[Guest 41Forever]

And, Jose kills the rally by hitting into a DP.

[Edgy MD]

I guess the bunt would have been a decent play after all.
