IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

G-Fafif Sep 05 2018 09:38 PM

The final West Coast game of the season, the final game of the penultimate road trip, finality clearing its throat in general. Sigh, one supposes. Wheeler for your Metsies. Ryu for those bleeping Utleys. Rosario SS McNeil 2B Flores 1B Frazier 3B Conforto LF Jackson CF Plawecki C Nimmo RF Wheeler P First pitch 7:35 PM EDT, just in case the SuperStation wishes to pick it up.

Also participating: Pederson LF Verdugo RF Turner 3B Muncy 1B Bellinger CF Grandal C Hernandez SS Dozier 2B Ryu P Ryu reportedly no relation to Doug Rau.

It's good to see that they are taking advantage of the last month of the season to see unproven commodity Wilmer Flores almost every damn day while sitting veteran Dom Smith.

7:30 ET is a welcome last-game-in-Cali time for a weeknight!

The Plaweckis named their son Kasen, presumably after Kase.

I've gotten used to the idea that those in the front row seats of Dodger games aren't necessarily watching the game all that intently. See and be seen and all that. But there are some there who seem unaware that they're even at a ball game!

Edgy MD Sep 06 2018 12:27 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Grandal really messed that up, but I've got to say, Ryu is really throwing some slop.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2018 12:36 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Yeah, that's great that it missed his arm, Gary, but it hit his fucking chest. Shit way to lose the no-hitter.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2018 12:37 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

And maybe he should've been yanked.

Frayed Knot Sep 06 2018 12:50 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Not exactly knocking the walls down with these hits here, eh?

d'Kong76 Sep 06 2018 12:53 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Frazuggg.

Frazier flashes leather and arm and says fu dkog...

Watching this game wishing I were back out west. Sitting in the heat drinking an Estrella Jalisco.

hey guys, why the crap is Nimmo hitting 8th?

How come the Yanquis are hitting in Dodger Stadium tonight??? I've never seen so many bloops in one game in my life outside of the Bronx.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 06 2018 01:30 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Frazier isn't very good, like aesthetically, other than the occasional nice fielding play like earlier. Even when he hits home runs it looks like an accident.

d'Kong76 Sep 06 2018 01:33 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Overpaid placeholder.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2018 01:37 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

If you want to buy Zack Wheeler, talk to Cody Bellinger. He owns him.

Edgy: if Meso is indeed out for the year, who is the next catcher up? (assuming that they don't want to go with 2 catchers the rest of the season)? There is no one else on the 40-man.

Frayed Knot Sep 06 2018 01:54 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

I thought Nimmo was safe on first viewing (trying to beat out a GiDP in top 8th) but there's no way in hell there was clear visual evidence of it.

Frayed Knot Sep 06 2018 02:02 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Just keep swinging for those solo HRs Dodger bats. As long as your success rate out-pacing the outs by a 2-1 ratio you'll have time to catch up.

They might be able to catch Jose Lobaton before he gets on the plane to leave Las Vegas. https://www.baseball-reference.com/regi ... bato001jos He's a veteran who won't be awed by an unexpected promotion.

Frayed Knot Sep 06 2018 02:12 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

OK, let's close these fuckers out. I really wanted to see a sweep here but I'll take two of three while knocking them out of 1st place for a while.

Fman99 Sep 06 2018 02:21 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

No posts from me (was doing a fantasy football draft) but watched it in its entirety. Good stuff.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2018 02:22 AM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

That guy behind the ARCO sign — he was like that for the last four innings. I was hoping his date would eventually check for a pulse. [fimg=700:3mgoh05y]https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/screen-shot-2018-09-05-at-10-13-35-pm.png[/fimg:3mgoh05y]

A foul ball back against the screen in front of him would wake him right up. (Unless he IS dead) Later

In other news, how amazing is the new Zack Wheeler? 7 innings, 3 runs has become a ho-hum start for him.

That's Burt Sugarman with a "Midnight Special" of a nap.

I kept hoping someone would foul a ball back on the screen in front of him. But alas.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 06 2018 05:49 PM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

Wasn't it Mary Hart whose voice made people (or one person, perhaps) go into epileptic fits?

I guess if you go to that many games that it seems mundane, even from those seats. But early on there were sequences of 5 or 6 pitches where neither one looked up even once. And that was when both were awake!

G-Fafif Sep 07 2018 06:26 PM Re: IGT 9/5/2018: NYM@LAD -- Coasting Toward the Finish

The official scorer has taken away one of Rosario's hits, from the fifth inning, to reduce his batting average to .257, his OBP to .297 and make whoever was pitching at the time feel incrementally better about himself.
