IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

Zvon Apr 11 2014 01:51 PM

Oh yea, I get to do this. I love late night games. The Mets and Angels have split 12 all-time meetings, but New York has won four of six in Anaheim.

Wonder what time they got to the hotel last night.

About four hours before Ike Davis did.

Anaheim road trips bring back some of my most favorite Mets memories of all time, and the greatest tabloid overreaction in franchise history. [fimg=644:e4qx1bf4]http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/rsjem23/mets-covers1.jpg[/fimg:e4qx1bf4]

Scott Boras hanging out in the dark behind the home-plate-area screen has a very Emperor Palpatine-ish vibe going on. The sweep of that Skaggs curve, man. It's like it takes you on a meandering tour of Orange County, then loops back around to Santa Monica and Venice, all between the mound and home.

Well, Shucks. Utleyed around the right-field foul pole. When a home run celebration leaves fog on the field for the rest of the half-inning, it's probably a trifle much, is it not?

Germen in for Torres, Davis in for Satin to start the bottom of the 8th. Collins double-switches like it's a reflexive bodily function.

Yeah, Wright let himself get screened. He's got to be positioned on the inside part of the bag there. Whether it holds up, I don't know, but Tejada saved a run by getting the lead runner (Cowtown) on the Aybar grounder.

Dammit. Lagares was throwing against his body's momentum, too. Superb. Table set for Trout, again. It's like the Mets are just fans at their crux, and really, really want to see the guy drive in runs tonight.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 11 2014 10:55 PM Re: IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

Y'know how they say a pitcher's fastball "pops" when it's going right? Like, it just has that snap to it, beyond velocity? Yeah, well, Farnsworth's fastball right now is, like, the antithesis of that.

And the early homer was nice in that sense, but no more. No more please. Leave it up to Albert.

If I was the ump I would have called it a ball just cause the LA catcher walked away before I called it.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2014 11:17 PM Re: IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

Even when Tejada is making plays at SS he's often not making them cleanly. He's rapidly becoming the king of turning 'maybe' GiDPs into 'no-shot' GiDPs either by backing up on the ball, making a slow transfer, or making a sloppy flip.

I don't know what it is-- new contacts, a weird smell in the air-- but, whenever the camera has zoomed in on him tonight, Ibanez has had a look on his face like a guy working in a shady, chop-shop-like garage: slightly grimy, eyes a little shifty, mouth in a wary rictus.

Hell, I gave up when Gee gave up the homer to tie it. Glad I didn't torture myself for an extra five innings. West coast games suck.

Frayed Knot Apr 12 2014 06:39 AM Re: IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

NYM pitchers walked TEN in this game (OK two were intentional, but still) and famously plunked one to boot, while NYM batters walked nonce. Considering that, plus the fact that LAA left 17 on base while Met LOBsters were just four, it's probably lucky (or maybe just more frustrating) that the game was as close or as long as it was.

Edgy MD Apr 12 2014 08:25 AM Re: IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

I'm taking the blame for that one. I invoked "Homer at the Bat" after yesterday's game, and BAM! walkoff-hit-by-pitch.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 12 2014 11:20 AM Re: IGT, Game 10, 4/11 NYM@LA (Gee vs. Skaggs)

Gee can't be giving back two leads a night, no matter how lucky the rest of the guys get.
