The Reds @ Mets IGT Cannot Be Ignored (4/30/19)

It's obvious what the Mets need to get them going is a rare latter-day REM raucous album cut.

Imagine how pissed Stipe would be had he lived long enough to see this orange junkbag in the office, or be there with the TNMC to see Vargas like I'm about to do

Frazier seems like a stranger on this team, but he's more familiar to me and he's becoming a part of this offense.

I tend to think Votto has amazingly had his head in the game night after night, year after year, with mostly terrible Cincinnati teams.

Great to have him playing against the Mets the night his head was up his ass. Lucky us.

The vengeful-God theory takes a big hit, there.

Well, better with a two-run lead than just one. And only 7 pitches to get thru the 8th.

And if not him ... who?

The minute he walked a guy you get him out because Familia ALWAYS snowballs. Have you been watching him for the past year and a half, Mickey?

I'm not banging the Familia-fan-club drum here but geez he got five of the

you want to take but not poor execution on his part.

Young Reyes doesn't score on that one, especially not with Mr. Puig out there.

But even Puig can't hold the runner on that one!!!!

I had some doubt as I wasn't sure it was going to stay fair.

Would have been interesting to see if Puig would let a borderline ball drop. If you catch it the runner's going to score so why not?

Tough to know what Puig would do in that situation ... Call for a fair-catch maybe?

Re: The Reds @ Mets IGT Cannot Be Ignored

Tuesday Night Mets Club was crowing over how Familia was back and we'd be outta there before 10 and of course we fucked it up.

We've now been witness to both of Frazier's home runs and most of his RBI.

Warmup/walkup klassik rawk music rated:

Vargas (VH's Panama)

Gsellman (Billy Squier Stroke)

McNeil (Def Leppard Pyromania)

Davis had a hell of an AB

McNeil is terrific

Alonso looked like a guy who was going strike out 250 times a year

More later...

I couldn't stomach it. When they tied it up I went to bed. Now, I would love to stay up an extra hour to watch them pull it out in the 10th but I can't do it. I'm a tired old man with a belly full of craft brew.

Yeah it seems like the book is getting around the league. Feed him sliders and changeups low and away and he'll chase them like a ravenous coyote.

One more Tuesday surprise like that and Frazier's new nickname will be "Mardis Gras."
