Re: IGT 4/24/2019: PHI @ NYM -- V is for Victory

Between the Bryce jawing, the hand-plunking, and Rhame getting all Maglie on their asses last night, do we think this one is getting fighty?

Let's hope so. The Mets haven't been involved in a real brawl in something like 25 years, am I right?

Re: IGT 4/24/2019: PHI @ NYM -- V is for Victory

September 29, 2007, was more fight-adjacent than basebrawl. The John Franco Day melee of 1996 was the last really good one, though there was some chippiness during a Steve Avery-Bobby Jones showdown the same year.



I can picture Gabe Kapler trying to make hay. Umps should feel free to warn Jason Vargas out of the game early.

Re: IGT 4/24/2019: PHI @ NYM -- V is for Victory

The problem with the 2007 fight is that the playing-out-the-string Marlins had their bags packed to go home. After Blastings Thrilledge apparently provoked them with what they saw as an over-demonstrative homerun celebration, the Marlins suddenly had a burning motivation to eliminate the Mets before calling it a season.



The Marlins came out and scored seven in the first the next day.

Milledge wasn't directly involved. He exulted and the dogass Marlins took offense. Lastings's reaction is the sort of thing MLB would make commercials for these days.

Sitting around not fighting with family and friends on Easter my buddy says,

"Who's that crazy looking dude with the long hair? He looks like a whack job!"

I said not sure and we went though a couple of long-haired guys and I got to

Vargas and he's like yeah that dude looks like Superfly Snuka's son!



I don't see it, but I'm gonna laugh about it for awhile.

Re: IGT 4/24/2019: PHI @ NYM -- V is for Victory

So no Zimmo. We saw the coaches trying to get him out of the game at first base last night then not coming back out. What's his ailment?



Oh, and Smitty in for Alonso. Maybe he could use a blow.



That is so crazy that's it's been since 1996 that a Met Brawl happened. That makes a Mets brawl a topic we've never encountered in an IGT on the CPF.

Nimmo = Oblique "tightness"



Better to get him out of there before he 'Stantons' himself and is out for a while.

Would also be nice to start the 1st inning without a backwards K for a change.

Re: IGT 4/24/2019: PHI @ NYM -- V is for Victory

I'm guessing that Alonso's blow is all about keeping him from absorbing any planned retaliation. He's about as close to Hoskins' opposite number as they come.

    They played on Wednesday like the Phillies did on Tuesday. Missed opportunity. And I don't like Cano's casual approach to defense. He's been doing that since his Yankee days and it used to drive them nuts.
