IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Edgy MD Aug 07 2018 12:17 PM

Jason Vargas and the Mets take on Sal Romano and the Reds. Game-time temps expected to hover around 90 degrees, with humidity at 70% and a 15% chance of precipitation. You know who's red-hot? That Jeff McNeil is red hot. [fimg=450:3qsdoyr7]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51PWDMR128L.jpg[/fimg:3qsdoyr7]

Last chance to claim your spot in the Tuesday Night Mets Club. I may have to do a solo act tonight!

At the time of the release of Red Heat, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the unrivaled top box office draw in the world, leaving Jim Belushi undoubtedly in the second-banana/comic-relief role — the relatable one — but hey, co-billing is co-billing. Cool. Unfotunately, JB's market has fallen in the ensuing decades, leaving him to see himself on latter-day posters portrayed thusly.

A dedicated Soviet cop arrives in Chicago, where he reluctantly teams up with a foul-mouthed American detective to comb the streets of the Windy City for the Russian drug dealer who killed both their partners. I mean, this is gold.

Sal Romano is out of Syosset (of course he is) but later went to HS in Southington, CT where he was a 23rd round draft pick of the Reds in 2011 But despite an 11-17 / 4.86 / 1.44 record in 37 starts since his ML debut last April, he's never lost to the Mets in three starts (Reds have won all three games) with a combined 6 runs and 0 HRs allowed in 17 IP On May 9th of this year Romano threw 6 innings [1 R, 4 H, 7 K] in a game eventually won by the Reds 2-1 via a 10th inning Adam Duvall (now w/Atlanta) walk-off HR off of AJ Ramos (remember him?) dropping the NYM record to 18-17 after the hot start.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2018 11:24 PM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

So we've found what stops an opposing team rally while Jason Vargas is on the mound ... a violent act of god.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 08 2018 12:11 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

I'm at the park. it was insane that they even started, ot was obvious this storm was coming... Its oddly beautiful and a welcome breeze... Serious lightning...

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 08 2018 12:37 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

news: rain letting up, breeze getting cooler

Any word on if/when they go back out there?

Fman99 Aug 08 2018 01:09 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Just tuned in... working a late shift but have a window to listen online from now till about 11 PM or so while I work.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 08 2018 01:11 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Jeff McNeil walkup music = Def Leppard Pyromania what do you want?

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 01:21 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

You could do worse, McNeilio. Somebody forgot to tell Nimmo to suck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 08 2018 01:36 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

I still not into Todd Frazier but he's pretty good at third base, I must admit

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 01:38 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Wahl appeared once before at Shea. [youtube:3ru1w46r]4hMRRWzACpM[/youtube:3ru1w46r]

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Spidey wins that matchup. Not quite sure why they didn't try and get more out of PS.

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 02:26 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Here we are with two men on. It's getting so when the team seems to building a rally, I start looking ahead to see when Rosario will be up.

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2018 02:29 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Five innings / two hits (fortunately they were in a row) I've seen this movie before and I don't like how it ends.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 08 2018 02:31 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

two swings took us right out of the inning. Drew Smith = country warmup music a la Mesoraco & Bobby Parnell. Bashlor prefers the rawk

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 02:51 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Only two hits, but hey, it's Sal Romano.

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 03:03 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

That's a killer sinker Hughes is throwing.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 08 2018 03:09 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Romano threw all his sliders and changes for strikes. Here's Plawecki bolluxing up another rally. I think I'm gonna go home

Lean into one, 'Wecki.

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 03:35 AM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Smelly.

MFS62 Aug 08 2018 12:11 PM Re: IGT Aug. 7, 2018: Red Heat

Went to bed early. When I saw the box score this morning and read that Dilson Herrera hit a home run, my thought was, "Of course he did". Later
