IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

41Forever Aug 05 2018 01:04 PM

My first back-to-back IGT all season. Corey Oswalt (1-2, 5.27) is back to replace the injured Mr. Matz, battling Julio Teheran (8-7, 4.46). Teheran is a righty, so we might get to see Mr. McNeil again after his 4-for-4 day at the plate.

Wouldn't you rather see Reyes out there instead? (God, I hope sarcasm comes through on this one.)

Has Teheran ever NOT pitched in a Braves series against the Mets?

Frayed Knot Aug 05 2018 03:10 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Minimum of once per series; he had it written into his contract.

Ashie62 Aug 05 2018 04:17 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

When do the Mets hit Teheran well?

bmfc1 Aug 05 2018 05:28 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

I wonder if the Tri-GMs were offered anything for Bautista. If they wanted more and declined, his 0 for 20 isn't helping his value for a waiver deal.

41Forever Aug 05 2018 06:11 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Maybe we should have brought McNeil up sooner. Like, in May.

Yeah, baby! Austin KABOOM. Mets up 3-0.

Brian Snitker has a Harrison Ford scar on his chin.

That Lou Brock graphic was great.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 06:47 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Bad baserunnng by Wilmer, but he almost broke his leg on that bat.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 06:57 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Blurp.

bmfc1 Aug 05 2018 07:03 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

7th inning begins: Great job by Mickey, Oswalt has a low pitch count, let's see what he can do. 7th inning, two batters later: He pushed him too far, he never pitches into the 7th, should have taken him out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2018 07:04 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Tell ya what, tho. Super game for Corey till that pitch

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 07:06 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Gary and Keith still tearing down Terry on a hot mic as they cut to a commercial.

Nice AB from Blevins vs Freddie: threw him 8 straight strikes, finally got credit for 3 of them.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 07:26 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

How about Reyes quitting on that bloop by Markakis?

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 07:43 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

The holes are back in the Mets' bats.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 07:50 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Sweet curve, Loogie.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 07:58 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Great swing, Raco, but how are you not on third?

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 07:59 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Total homer!! How did I miss that?

bmfc1 Aug 05 2018 07:59 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

I will refrain from calling him "Mesothelioma" for at least the rest of the day.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 08:13 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Don't look at me. Bashlor wasn't my idea.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Given that we have two relievers I have any confidence in, and one gave us four outs yesterday, I'd have left Oswalt in.

I agree.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2018 08:19 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

they interviewed Joey Bats on the radio pregame yesterday, came off as a total mensch. Can't understand why other clubs haven't bitten

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 08:23 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

OK, 591 career homers due up in the bottom of the 10th.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2018 08:23 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Wilmo

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 08:24 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

I'd like to pinch run, but only Guillorme is on the bench.

bmfc1 Aug 05 2018 08:25 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

I enjoyed Keith's "uh oh" as Wilmer "ran" from 1st to 2nd.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 05 2018 08:26 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

maybe you have degrom run

Edgy MD Aug 05 2018 08:26 PM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

C'mon! Pinch-run with deGrommie!

Man, the way they're watching that hook for called strikes is eating me up.

But then -- once he started that inning Single - HR - Single (bunt) -- I had no problem pulling him at that point.

Oswalt was very good. A 2019 contender. Coulda dumped Wheeler for Oswalt?

Edgy MD Aug 06 2018 12:14 AM Re: IGT Aug. 5, 2018: He's here, again!

Why would anybody dump Wheeler?
