IGT 8/15 - Mets @ Yanx

[Frayed Knot]

If you want to start an IGT winning streak, it's best to do so on a night where deGrom is starting.

vs Sonny Gray making his third MFY start
Gray is 0-2 so far, losing to Cleveland & Toronto, but got a little unlucky in the first one as three 1st inning errors led to two unearned runs and then his own error in the second game led to another unearned.
Plus the Yanquis bats scored a grand total of one run for him so far in the two games.

Sonny Fox was lights out in 2015. He has had arm issues since. The guy has skillz.

Pretty much as expected. Personally I would flip Cespedes and Conforto in the lineup.

Meant to ask last night, why wasn't the ESPN broadcast not blacked
out in the SNY/YES umbrella area?

Every day and twice on Sunday.

[ashie62]

And away we go.

[Edgy MD]

I've been watching Sonny Gray for 10 seconds and already find him revolting.

[Frayed Knot]

How many more shit hits are the Yanx going to get tonight?

[Edgy MD]

Yay, a walk!

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, one run deficit, three run deficit ... it pretty much doesn't matter since the Mets don't show any hint of a possibility that they're going to score a run.

[Guest d'Kong76]

3-0 after five, Terry has to go...

It's stupid, but it's like getting somebody on base actually undermines their strategy of trying to hit solo homers.

[Edgy MD]

Infield hit by Shméspedes.

[Frayed Knot]

So what are we up to now, like 8 singles (3 never leaving the IF) and 2 solo HRs over the last 15 innings or so?

[Frayed Knot]

And now they have five HRs in this series and we have maybe five balls out of the infield.

[Edgy MD]

You know how in the last game of the season, there's this unspoken understanding by both teams that they'd just swing at shit and get it over with and go home? I feel like the mets have been in this mode since at least the third week of July.

[Edgy MD]

Wilmer Flores, giving us our best trips to the plate these days. I kind of think it's because he's angry.

[Edgy MD]

OK, Smitty. That's two.

I tend to agree with your first thought, Gary. Take the free baserunner that the bunt offers.

[ashie62]

This is pathetic.

[Frayed Knot]

Not only are about 40% of the high-priced seats in that stadium empty, but at least 40% of those who are there aren't watching the game, something that becomes even more obvious when they show replays.

[Edgy MD]

Would be nice to show some heart against Chapstick.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Terry's Pinch hitting = Genius

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rosie!

Noticed that too. Pretty expensive seat to sit in just to dick around on your phone.

[Edgy MD]

Some heart!

Memories of 2000

[Gwreck]

Like the Payton homer off Rivera

Ugh, what a crappy memory.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I wish I could say that either one of those HRs excited me, but I really felt it was merely rearranging the deck chairs without altering the result.
