IGT 8/27/2017 Game Two: NYM@WSH — Do It Again!

[Edgy MD]

The crazy-assed Mets will be throwing it all over the place in Washington this evening, making baseball happen.

Lousiariqueño Seth Lugo returns for the Mets. They've already won once and they're out to do it again.

As mentioned during the first game, the Nats were planning on the night-cap being Scherzer's return but have instead delayed that until tomorrow (vs Miami) so we get to face Tanner Roark who was
originally supposed to start the early game.

[Edgy MD]

These guys insist on coming at us with Alejandro De Aza. Let's finish the job.

Rosario gets a game-winning homer and is rewarded with a spot on the bench. Let him play, Terry!

Rosario has had a steady diet of playing time since he came up. More than anybody, I would guess. Butt-ends of doubleheaders are generally the time such creatures get their occasional rest.

The real story is Brandon Nimmo's debut in the three-hole!

[ashie62]

I am counting on Rosario and Nimmo.

I used to love Cespedes but but what a load of unmovable flubber.

"Hopefullly he can give the Mets 80 or so pitches here and rest a beleaguered bullpen." — Josh Lewin

What has become of us?

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo batting 1.000 when batting third.

[Edgy MD]

I like Rebuilt Lugo.

[Edgy MD]

Ten batters so far.

One hit.

One other ball in play.

Eight strikeouts.

[Chad ochoseis]

Howie notes that three Mets wear their ages on their uniforms:

Smith - 22
Plawecki - 26
Taijeron - 28

Nationally televised game, so no MLB feed for me or, I assume, for the other out-of-towners.

Yeah, Sunday night games are exclusive so it's ESPN or nothing (or radio).


So why wasn't that last play obstruction on Taylor walking right in front of Plawecki as he tried to throw to 2nd?
Neither the announcers (big surprise!) nor Terry brought it up.

And Loogie exits after 70. Amazin'.

[Frayed Knot]

Now isn't that better than a bunt, Juan?

[Edgy MD]

Reyes and the newly indomitable Lagares collaborate to get the Mets on the board.

Let's go, Nimmo!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You Really Got Me, Lagares.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, Zimmo

[Chad ochoseis]

KAZIMMO!

[Edgy MD]

That's a #3 hitter!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Robles has been such a big disappointment. C'mon you El Panaco

[Edgy MD]

Gosh, though, what a silly selection.

Terry gets what he needs from Robles and then he asks for more.

[Edgy MD]

See what haps when you throw stee-rikes?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Time to stretch, kvetch or dance...

[youtube:1po4duux]6lgzc0axshc[/youtube:1po4duux]

[Edgy MD]

Come on, with a paper-thin lead, they throw Kelly at us? That's just insulting. Don't take that sitting down, Mets.

[Guest cooby]

I am so confused...we didn't win?

[Edgy MD]

It's one of those durn newfangled doubleheaders.

Rosario has a chance to bat fourth in the ninth if the Mets can get somebubby on.

[Guest d'Kong76]

somebubby! anybubby!

YES

[Edgy MD]

Tying run on foist with one out.

[Frayed Knot]

NYM bats need to do much against doo little

[Edgy MD]

Had forgotten the pitcher's spot had moved following a double-switch.
