IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

A nice night to make it two in a row. Both pitchers have ten wins.

Instead of the standard practice of automatically awarding it to the home team, I think they should get creative tonight in front of a national TV audience and pair off the two starters in some sort of pre-game contest to determine who gets to bat last. - The simplest might just be to have the 6' 5" (and former Notre Dame tight end) Samardzija and the 6' 6" Syndergaard jump center right there on the mound. Whoever comes down with the baseball gets first choice. - Either that or a pop quiz to see who is the first one to spell the other guy's last name correctly. On a side note, this might be the two longest last names as opposing starters since Jason Isringhausen faced off against William VanLandingham back on May 29, 1996 at Shea.

I believe the XFL kinda did that with the "scramble."

Last inning was the Hunter Pence Bullshit inning, this is apparently the Little League Bullshit inning. And next we have Terry telling us how he thinks Syndergaard is pitching well so far as the game is reduced to a small box.

Hunter Pence does the TV Guide crossword puzzle.

They made this game so uninteresting I snoozed off for a bit. Need a cup O coffee to make it thru the rest of this.

Did that get under Reyes?

A caught stealing. With Syndergaard pitching. I'm putting all my money on the Mets.

These Sunday night broadcasters are insipid. I wish each week they'd show Aaron Boone getting hit in the ribs with a 99 MPH fastball.

Miracle cure for slumping pitchers- the New York Mets lineup.

A play like that when we haven't yet had a hit makes me go into uh-oh mode.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2016 08:37 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

Well the good news is that Syndergaard's pitch count is really low (63 thru 5) and we're not losing. Other than that ...

Edgy MD Aug 21 2016 08:41 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

My favorite part of the game so far is when we almost got a hit.

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2016 08:44 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

The other good news is that they're 2/3 of the way through the game in just an hour and a half -- which is even more remarkable when you consider that it's a longer-commercial national game -- so there's less of a chance that this one will last until midnight like the usual SNB games. Of course that's all providing that someone, y'know, scores a run at some point.

No sweat to go at least one more unless his spot in the order comes up in a critical PH situation ... and even then I'm not sure I'd do it. None of the Robles/Reed/Familia trio has been so dependable lately.

Just a terrible bunt and with two strikes from a dude that can go yard. Boo.

Zvon Aug 21 2016 09:15 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

And a few more runs could have afforded him 9. I doubt TC lets him w/only a 2 run lead.

Zvon Aug 21 2016 09:16 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

98 pitches. LET HIM GO NINE!

Frayed Knot Aug 21 2016 09:16 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

If I'm managing, Syndy is pitching the 9th -- at least until he gets into trouble at which point you can go to either Jan or Marcia.

You're the tying run at the plate and put down a bunt ... that's pretty crazy, unless you're Bud Harrelson or Ozzie Smith.

Zvon Aug 21 2016 09:40 PM Re: IGT 8/21 Mets vv S.F. Thor v. Samardzija

I expected most games to go just like this in 2016. Great starting pitching. Someone pokes a long ball, Cespedes at least 30 times, and Fammy closes the door. It's all been about expectations this season. Much frustration with the lack of one or the other or both. A few more of these and... And if Cespedes can duplicate his late season run from last year, wow, that would be legendary shit. Lets go Mets.
