One-zip on a bases-loaded walk and a real big chance to break the game open with a two-out hit here. OE: Or, maybe, a fifth walk.

Well, that was a belabored first. He even had to make a successful backup at third and cover first.

Good, workhorse reliever. A Missouri product (by birth, high school, and college) who spent his whole career with the Missouri teams, playing for Whitey Herzog on both sides of the state.

I just picture Chavez and Buck watching Gore and Marrero take batting practice every day and thinking, "Yeah, I don't think they're gonna play today either."

Let's not spend our Septembers coveting Yankees for next Spring.

The Innernet seems to be suggesting the Pirates have announced a starting lineup but not a starting pitcher. I'm penciling Oveido in there because that's who they were supposed to be going with and the dogs need to be walked. Buck determined to ride his horses hard and put them away wet, running the same lineup out as game one (same order, too), apart from the pitcher and catcher.

Don't worry if you need a nap, Keith. Bob can call Game Two.

Good time for a mound visit here. Bassitt is starting to beat himself.

MFS62 makes a cameo appearance.

It may well have been the smart call. I disagree that it was the only call. Also, PNC park tells me that Jesus forgave errors.

This is the way we roll. Cool to unload on the "starter" after touching up the "opener" first. It's like trying to get into the bullpen and realizing that, oh yeah, you've already gotten into the bullpen.

There. It. Is!

Here's one. He's a couple of steps into his braking and the ball's apparently in the air. You can make an educated guess as to where, but it's inconclusive. It's also not clear how many steps into braking Escobar is. [fimg=700]https://metsinpeace.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/screen-shot-2022-09-07-at-1.23.49-pm.png[/fimg] It's certainly likely that he's out. I disagree that he's automatically out by 20 feet or that he had a 0.30% chance of scoring.

No real shots of the relay play and the runner in the same shot.

That's not the way I saw it. Rewinding NOW!!!!

I'm guessing that this is the rescheduled game? That and a day game in September for a back-end team can make for some scarce crowding. I should have driven out. Also, I wanted to send Escobar on Nido's double. A 30% chance of scoring, and perhaps less, would have made it worth a shot. On the other hand, the relay man on that play would have been that alien mutant Oneil Cruz, so maybe Cora knew what he was doing.

Lotta lefties in the Pittsburgh lineup, and the bottom half of their lineup is mostly low-average, young reserves trying to get their feet wet. Mets move Alonso in the lineup for the first time in a while.

There's another game today at 12:35. I'm kind of prohibited from starting the IGT, but if anyone wants to jump in, I'd be obliged to you.

I tend to think hit-and-run plays are a great idea. They're very rarely used these-a-days, but if runners were in motion for one or both of Pete Alonso's early DP grounders, it's a very different game yesterday.

We can probably assume Bryce Montes de Oca was given a ticket to Syracuse before he hit the shower. Presumably (at least, I hope), they have his replacement or replacements long-since dispatched and possibly already in Pittsburgh, to be ready for the double-header tomorrow. But what of Marte? If he's not ready to go tomorrow (who knows?), will they be able to get a hitter (Dom Smith? Khalil Lee?) to the ballpark in time for tomorrow's opener? Lots of injury guys looking to jump off the back burner — Guillorme, Drew Smith, Tylor Megill, Nogosek, et al.

Nimmo's homerun was lovely, but he may be the brokest guy in the lineup right now. Swinging at the first pitch in the ninth, down six, after the previous two guys walked. What insanity is that?

McCann up with two out in the ninth looking to exit the Interstate in September.
