if they get this off I will be shocked. double dip Sundae coming up

Edgy MD May 19 2018 02:49 PM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

It'd be a good one to miss, with a hot lefty on the mound and a surfeit of the Mets' better righthanded batters unavailable.

Diamondbacks eager to get started, I hope they know the game starts at 7:10 and not 4:10... [tweet:3idc9840]https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/997905813178990592[/tweet:3idc9840]

My kid's more excited about the bobblehead and the Star Wars stuff than any actual game, so hopefully we at least get that.

Corbin is one of those douchebags who has made no mistake he's auditioning for a gig with the MFYs. Good to beat his ass tonight

Edgy MD May 20 2018 12:32 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Nimmo stealing. Aggressive Mets is good Mets. Be good, Mets.

Rockin' Doc May 20 2018 12:35 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Nice start to the Mets 3rd. Hopefully, Flors can keep going.

Rockin' Doc May 20 2018 12:43 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Promising start, but that wasn’t how I hoped that inning would go.

41Forever May 20 2018 12:49 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Nice DP! I like some of the elements of the Diamond Backs' uniforms. But the problem is that they used ALL of them.

Edgy MD May 20 2018 12:54 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

"Overturn me!" cries the call.

Edgy MD May 20 2018 12:55 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

No overturn. Hey. I would think that would be the shortstop's job to be covering there.

Did anyone think watching that replay that he was safe?

41Forever May 20 2018 12:58 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Matz is falling apart out there.

Not comfortable with that territory, what's the point of review when they blow the review of a blown call? I'm just spilled-milkin', movin' on...

Edgy MD May 20 2018 01:24 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

This game turned on Flores swinging at a slider off the plate 2-0 with two on and none out. It's gone bad since then.

d'Kong76 May 20 2018 01:30 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Well, two run homers after a blown replay review don't help. Ooops, forgot I was movin' on...

Edgy MD May 20 2018 01:33 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Great for Bruce, but I HATES when the ball bounces off the sidewall and back into play. Bring back foul territory in the outfield!

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 20 2018 01:35 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Mesoraco, bad! (too much foul territory)

Edgy MD May 20 2018 01:38 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Send Bruce if it gets to 3-2.

Edgy MD May 20 2018 01:39 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Should've squeezed, José. Oh, well, we chased their pitcher and got two deep into their pen with three innings to play. Not over yet.

Huge because, along with other reasons, we only had Nido and Guillorme on the bench to bat for the pitcher.

Top Pfizer the order due up for the bottom of the 9th. Time for a walk off win.

That was a neat stat: Wilmer has seven walk-off RBI in his career. Now eight!

Edgy MD May 20 2018 02:50 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Funner fact: The game went downhill after Wilmer failed after being ahead 2-0. He gets the game-winning walkoff RBI after falling behind 0-2.

Damn, gameday. I saw single for Cabrera and thought it was over, after I post it shows it was a bunt single. Walk of Free sac fly, I’ll take it. Hey, BIFW (at least tonight). Big win.

Frayed Knot May 20 2018 02:57 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Braves won, Marlins lost (played the Braves), Phils won (scored 2 in the 8th), Nats lost the first of two but are winning the 2nd (4-3 in the 8th) but the Dodgers have runners on ... and as I'm typing Puig hits into an inning-ending GiDP with the tying run on 3rd !!! 4-3 Nats, heading for bottom 8 and this is/was a Scherzer game too, so if the Trolley Dodgers could pull this one off ...

Centerfield May 20 2018 03:05 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

A few notes. Pitch to Murphy the first time, I get it. The second time, that mistake is on Callaway. Stupid. Don’t see why they pulled Matz. Seemed like a bit of a panic move. Amazing what a little production from the catcher makes. Let’s never play Reyes again.

Centerfield May 20 2018 03:09 AM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

And Dyson was absolutely fucking out.

Once the SB created the open base, it was already a 1-2 count to a backup catcher with 400 ML ABs spread over pieces of six seasons, a career 630 OPS during that time, and a .259 OBA for this season (prior to tonight). I didn't have a problem pitching to him. Especially seeing as how it was still just the 4th inning, I don't like to go adding baserunners to chase outs that early.

But this time it showed -- particularly via one of the several angles but really on al of them -- that Dyson's leading arm was CLEARLY forced sideways by the force of 'Drubal's tag before his hand was anchored to the base which c/would have prevented that. I was shocked at that one.

Dodgers have scored twice in the 9th to take the lead as Nats' closer Doolittle has definitely done little: single, single, double (the revitalized Matt Kemp) and has yet to record an out (OK, now he has) 5-4 LAD, runner on 2nd, 1 out

Throwing a 1-2 count in the trash didn't make sense to him. The failure was Matz's for giving him a nice popover to eat.

Centerfield May 20 2018 01:18 PM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

Got it. I didn’t realize he already had a 2 strike count. That makes sense. Then yes, Matz has to make him chase one there.

Frayed Knot May 20 2018 02:49 PM Re: IGT 05/19 - Diamondbacks at Mets - Weekend .500 [2]

I don't want to go around automatically handing out free passes to 8th place hitters almost regardless of the count. Hell, it was the 4th inning in a tie game with 2 outs and one runner aboard, hardly a critical situation. Terry used to do that almost as a reflex and what you wind up doing is turning over the lineup more often and assuring that the opposition starts the next inning with the top of the lineup instead of the pitcher, something which likely increases their chances of scoring the next inning at least as much as you might decrease it with the IW - although once you toss in that Corbin was actually out-hitting Murphy going into the game (Corbin = .263 and hit over .300 in 2016) even the best case scenario is hardly a given. More than one runner on? OK. Later in the game? Sure (although then they'd likely PH). Facing a better 8th place hitter? Yeah maybe. But unless the count were already 3-0 (or maybe 3-1) after the SB, I'm not going to want to make a habit of running from the JR Murphys of the world, a guy who essentially is Anthony Recker* w/half the HR rate * Recker, btw, is current hitting quite well for AAA Reno [.327/.431/.673 over 55 ABs] in the Arizona system - so he and Murphy are essentially battling for end of the bench jobs in Phoenix
