IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 12:11 AM

Mets threatening first and third in the first. And yeah, go ahead and bunt, Conforto. Sorry to be tiresome.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 12:14 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Or whiff.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 12:15 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Whoosh.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 12:23 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

I think I remember Wrigley having a relatively fast gun, but that's the first time I remember deGrom hitting the century.

Bruce with a very good defensive play at first base

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 12:44 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Chicago, you've just been Murphed! Gary, I see, resisted the temptation to bring out his old "net negative" comment from years ago.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 29 2018 12:44 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Never enough threads to voice Jacob deGrom appreciation (I appreciate ya, Jake!) but let me also appreciate Amed. He looks like a different player, hitting with authority, stealing bags. Keep it going, kid. And let me also appreciate poor Muffy who just muffed a pretty easy one setting the Mets up, first and second, 1 out in the 3rd.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 29 2018 12:45 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

I still appreciate Amed even thought he just got his face tagged out at third.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 12:47 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

That's now three baserunners we've given up in the first 12 innings of this series. We don't get enough of those to then just throw 'em away like that.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:12 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

That looked like a hyperextended knee.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:15 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

deGrom is incredible.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:20 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

And then he beats out an infield hit. Astounding. He's not a Cy Young. He's an MVP.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:21 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

And there's the bunt. Small-ball-tastic.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 01:21 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

How them style points working out for ya Javy?

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:24 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Lousy second strike call on Jackson.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:27 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Man, Conforto chases inside every time.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:29 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Hamels struck him out with three different pitches, but none of them were strikes.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 01:30 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Eight K's for Hamels -- Conforto, Frazier & Nimmo are seven of them (3, 2, 2)

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 01:37 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Gotta say that I like Madden going to the PH this early and a good riddance to Mr. Hole Camels. And the K of LaSTELLA makes me like it even more.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:44 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Please guys. You've got the leadoff hitter on. Just manufacture a run and let the guy know what a lead tastes like.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:52 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Ron Darling on Joe Maddon's pitching change: "I just think he doesn't want to watch Kintzler pitch anymore."

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 01:55 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

C'mon, Nimmz.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:00 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Well, if a clubhouse full of professional hitters can't get it done, slap some shit your own damn self.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 02:01 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Playing deGrom to pull ... Really?!? And against a lefty no less!

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:15 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Right? And now McNeil gets a triple running like his limbs are going to fall off.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:18 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Wow, the Mets are hitting it too hard.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:22 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Man, a lot of generous strikes tonight.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:34 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

It's a pleasure to watch this guy work. A greater pleasure be watching him win.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 29 2018 02:43 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

After deGrom K'd Murphy, I was gonna search for an image of those big silver balls that hang from trucks, but I didn't want to post that image for at least 14 different reasons. But Jacob deGrom has big silver truck balls.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 02:48 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Now if only there were the slightest chance of us winning this game.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:54 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Ya gotta and then ya gotta some more. But what a performance.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 02:54 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Not to be biased or just reacting to the moment ... but just give him the fucking CY now!!!!

A Boy Named Seo Aug 29 2018 02:55 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

he is amazing

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 02:59 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

And ... he's gone. I may be nodding off. What a show, though.

G-Fafif Aug 29 2018 11:29 AM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

They should have called it a tie after eight and put it in the books (in the small-c catholic sense). Jake pitching like that was the game. Wins and losses have never felt less material. But it was suspended from rain in the tenth, the seventh such occasion in Mets history. The others, in case you've forgotten, were the 1977 blackout game, the 1979 Father's Day game when commercial flight concerns led to an agreed upon curfew, the 1979 game in which the final out was registered repeatedly but a protest was upheld, a 1986 darkness situation at Wrigley and two rain games of recent vintage at Citi Field (2013 and 2015). In all but the first two cases, the games were completed the next day, as this one, weather permitting, will be.

A Boy Named Seo Aug 29 2018 04:22 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

This game is resuming in a half hour, yeah?

seawolf17 Aug 29 2018 04:45 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

ESPN says 1ET, followed by the second one.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 29 2018 05:04 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Hopefully they'll start with Lugo still on the mound. (Although I guess they may end up pinch-hitting for him if they're fortunate enough to get six men to the plate in the top of the tenth.)

Benjamin Grimm Aug 29 2018 05:14 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

And... nope. Blevins takes over for Lugo.

Edgy MD Aug 29 2018 05:16 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Their bullpen usage is one big exciting adventure! Is Gsellie available?

d'Kong76 Aug 29 2018 05:27 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

I think they said no Gsell agan for today.

HahnSolo Aug 29 2018 05:41 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Oh, come on now Sewald.

Seawald is a sack of shit in a Mets uniform. [tweet:2nso27cu]https://twitter.com/TimBritton/status/1034859634442600448[/tweet:2nso27cu]

d'Kong76 Aug 29 2018 06:10 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Slipped fielding it, imagine ball was wet too.

Lefty Specialist Aug 29 2018 06:11 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

DeGrom walks one and strikes out 10 in 8 innings, AND he goes 2-4 and drives in the only run. It's becoming almost comical at this point. On a team with a good offense he'd win 25 games this year.

Frayed Knot Aug 29 2018 06:12 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

Erasing [u:12g1o5hr]Five[/u:12g1o5hr] different base-runners (via caught stealing, K/CS DPs, Line-out DPs, etc.) and going one for a million w/RiSP doesn't help. When the sum total of the offense is your pitcher's infield single ...

41Forever Aug 29 2018 06:47 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - Mets at Cubs

You knew they'd win as soon as the lead-off walk took place. meanwhile, we hit a lead off triple, and can't bring the guy home....
