IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica
Edgy MD May 20 2017 03:36 AM |
Zack Wheeler, coming off his best start in over two years, matches up with former-Nationals first-rounder Alex Meyer. The Nats traded Meyer to the Twins for Denard Span. He never found traction in the Twin system and now he's an Angel. Shutout-happy Mets were able to mask the effectiveness of Mike Trout, and hope to have a replica in this game.

Leadoff runners, pitchers allowed on base, living behind in the count... Wheeler is not giving himself any wiggle room here.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 21 2017 12:12 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Alex Rodriguez and Joe Buck reliving the Scoscia home run in '88 in vivid detail as Wheeler puts the bottom of the order on base and runs up his pitch count. All this needs is a milk-and-hot-sauce cocktail and someone shaking my head manually for the perfect nauseating experience.
|
metirish May 21 2017 12:18 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Yeah Rodriguez is into talking about this Mets fandom , I'll say this for him, he sounds like he has done his research etc, talking about the type of hitter Duda was in the minors. Comparing COnforto to Greg Jeffries eh??
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 21 2017 12:21 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Not a bad comparison, either. Nice analysis on the iffy throw-- outfielder on his heels not just weakening the throw, but giving it too much loft-- and tag up, as well.
|
metirish May 21 2017 12:26 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |

ARod has always been a baseball geek; that sounds redundant but not all players are. Now, sure, he's done (read: been fed) some research also, but that he'd remember certain traits from certain past players doesn't surprise me and is probably not AS prompted as it would be with another jock turned mic-jockey. And, yeah, he's told the Met fan story before. He also told anyone who would listen at the time that he grew up idolizing Atlanta's Dale Murphy (it's why he wore #3) when he thought the Braves might sign him to a contract. He may well have been a Mets/Keith fan, but it doesn't mean he would have left 100-mil on the table as some NYM fans assumed back during his FA tour. He and Boras were up front about how they wanted to set new records with his deal. He wasn't going to leave a dollar and 25 cents on the table.

Because of broadcast blackout stuff, I had to watch *yesterday* via the Angels broadcast and they we're surprisingly really good. Lots of dead air, especially for two in the booth. I can't deal with Buck-Rod today, sound is off. AND yes, ESPN is the worst.

Frayed Knot May 21 2017 12:55 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Nice of Calhoun to make 3 different outs tonight (1 GiDP, 1 FO) with two runners on each time to end innings so that Trout has yet to bat with any runners on.
|
Rockin' Doc May 21 2017 01:00 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
I hope ARod is correct in his belief that Conforto looks like a guy who could hit .300 with 30 home runs for many years.
|
Rockin' Doc May 21 2017 01:03 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Bruce pulls one to the hole and Pennington bobbles it for an error and the bases are loaded for Walker with no outs.

TJ Rivera does what Granderson couldn't, lifts a sac fly to plate a run. Would be great to see Duda to put a charge into one here.

Yeah, the Mets are getting some runs in, but they are still stranding a lot of runners.
|
Rockin' Doc May 21 2017 01:27 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Wheeler promptly goes out and performs his Santa Claus impersonation by walking the first 2 batters. Then after a weak flare to left to load the bases, he hits a batter to bring in the 1st Angels run.
|
Rockin' Doc May 21 2017 01:29 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Fly out to Conforto in left for the 1st out. Strong throw to plate holds the runners at bay.

Edgy MD May 21 2017 01:55 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
And with that perfect inning, he works his ERA down into the sixes, and works himself RIGHT INTO MY FACE.

A-Rod is pretty good, I will admit that also. It may help knowing that Jeter hates him with a preppy, douchy, white hot heat.
|
Edgy MD May 21 2017 02:19 AM Re: IGT 5/20/2017: ANA@NYM—Trout Mask Replica |
Way to tack on, Mets. Or, at least, I think so. Howie Rose just made one of the more botched calls of his career.

Wilmer delivers a pinch hit double for an RBI. Rene Riviera gets lucky as the Angels botch a run down so the inning remains alive. Bases loaded for Reyes who blows it open with a single to right field.

Well, that debut did not go very well. Not that he gave up any hard hit balls, but walking lead off hitter (after starting 0-2) opened the door for the Angels.
