the sizzling bat of Amed Rosario on the bench tonite

Justification appears to be that they are resting him because he’s made strides in his approach and they don’t want him facing Scherzer. Make sense. Oh wait. No it doesn’t. It makes no sense at all.

And Bautista making only his second start at the hot corner as a Met.

They're trying to run Jose into the ground so they don't have to DFA him. Makes sense. Oh wait, no it doesn't.

Reyes 10-for-29 lifetime vs Scherzer. Anything that might screw up the Nationals ace and make him unable to start the ASG, thus clearing the way for deGrom, is welcome. Sitting a heating Rosario versus a great pitcher may be this year's answer to two years ago not sitting sitting a scalding Conforto versus Bumgarner, and Conforto cooling off that afternoon and for a while thereafter. Still seems weird.

With my analytical track record the last couple of years he'll probably bat a triple short of the cycle tonight. (if he does that, does it count that I called it?)

Down 2 runs early to Scherzer. Oh boy.

Well, this game was fun while it lasted. The odds of this offense getting three total bases vs Scherzer are low enough so the odds of three runs are virtually infinitesimal.

Frayed Knot Jul 12 2018 11:32 PM Re: IGT 07/12 - WAS @ NYM - But What Can I Do?

Thanks to some less than great defense, the Mets already have 3 total bases. But that was a HUGE fucking overturn (if such a thing can exist in a 1st inning) especially for a play which wasn't anything close to fitting the definition of "definitive".

Matz' trade value plummeting before our eyes.

It's that trading-deadline Yin Yang Thang...

Frayed Knot Jul 13 2018 01:08 AM Re: IGT 07/12 - WAS @ NYM - But What Can I Do?

The call overturned vs the one not overturned. Coin must have come up heads once and tails the other because there was certainly not definitive either time.

LET'S GO SMIT-TY! Clap! Clap! Clap-clap-clap!

Cabrera bombs one and the Mets within one. Let's catch these fakirs.

Edgy MD Jul 13 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT 07/12 - WAS @ NYM - But What Can I Do?

Wilmer, don't go after the first pitch after the dude walked two in a row.

Edgy MD Jul 13 2018 01:57 AM Re: IGT 07/12 - WAS @ NYM - But What Can I Do?

Don't bunt, José. Hit and run! Two strikes. Too late.

Feeling all Bilf-y

Game over. We lose. Again
