IGT 8/23/2018: SFG @ NYM -- They Might Bum Rush Giants

Seventy minutes past high noon: Jake vs Bumgarner. Mets not named Justin Ruggiano don't seem to touch Bumgarner, but this would be a good time to reach out and whack him. Madison, for his part, does not blaspheme deGrom.

"It's so close with deGrom, (Max) Scherzer and (Aaron) Nola, too, but if I had a (Cy Young) vote, (deGrom is) probably where I'd go with it," the San Francisco Giants southpaw told MLB.com's Joe Trezza.


Will be curious to see if the scalding hot Jeff McNeil gets the start despite behind lefthanded.

Yes, McNeil starting but second day in a row of oddball lineups with Conforto in probably his debut in the 8th spot:

Rosario ss
Jackson cf
Flores 1b
Frazier 3b
Bautista rf
McNeill 2b
Mesoraco c
Conforto lf
deGrom p

The game is on MLBN but they are using the SFG feed to so it's back to mlb.tv for me.

Great job Mesothelioma. You're supposed to catch the ball. It's in the job title. Please trade him for a rosin bag in a waiver deal. The Mets were thrilled to get away from Harvey but they lost that deal.

Randazzo has to ring that guy up. Especially with deGrom on the mound.

Then deGrom loses him and then gives up a RBI double. Jake is pissed out there.

2 runs today after Jake threw the ball in the strike zone: one was missed by the inept catcher and the other was misread by the inept umpire. No wonder deGrom took it out on the paper cups.

I see Plewcker is in, did Mesothelioma get hurt or just pulled?

I think the booth was saying he might have hurt himself on a swing.

Another blown call by Randazzo. It's not like the leadoff hitter in a 2-0 game is important.

That run-scoring orgy can begin any time now.

It starts with a kaboom, not a whimper.

My <3 belongs to THE JEFF. Looking good against the tough lefty.

Keith lefty-batter crush seems to be moving from Conforto to McNeil.

Meanwhile, a different Mets catcher screws things up for the Mets. Please sign a real catcher this off-season.

Not a big bunting guy, but with Bumgarner on the mound there I could have been talked into a Plawecki bunt with 2 on and nobody out. And yeah, that's a total second guess.

Mickey refuses to stand up for his players and get in the face of an umpire. I have no doubt that they notice.

If Giants fans has Schaefer voting, all their votes would go to Bumgarner first, then Randazzo.

Get the admissions gate open and we might!!

I think I'm going to need a presidential indictment to salvage my day.

I just followed the box score and didn't watch the game.
I gather Randazzo is up there on the Angel Hernandez scale of umpiring incompetence. How does he score?
