Maybe we have a Todd Tuesday for Frazier tonight.

Hey, Rosario had trouble on the backhand.

... making MLB debutante Will Smith no longer a lad in search of his first hit.

LWFS May 28 2019 08:59 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! WE SUCCESSFULLY TAGGED UP ON BELLINGER!

Somebody's gonna hit that big, bendy curve a half mile.

Suck it, Turner.

Two out walks in front of Bellinger = Not good idea

LWFS May 28 2019 09:13 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

Two-strike offspeed in the zone: an even-worse idea

Edgy MD May 28 2019 09:14 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

The sleep god is coming for me. Root on in my name.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 28 2019 09:19 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

Fraze is trying to stay

LWFS May 28 2019 09:20 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

Hey, Frazier's alive! Gomez follows with a grounder through the left side that the Dodger scorer will no doubt try to mark as an error. Another hit, and we've got a stew going.

RALLY

The bunt worked. But if I saw a guy bunt with the (lack of) form that Rosario showed, I'd never let him bunt.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 28 2019 10:20 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

Conforto Salami!!!

Frayed Knot May 28 2019 10:23 PM Re: IGT 05/28 - Mets @ Dodgers

Yeah, go make another pitching change Roberts.

Early morning books!!!

THoUghTS on ThE GAmE!!! I made it to the top of the 9th somehow. The top of the 7th inning alone took 4 hours to play: Yimi Garcia in for Hill Walk Altherr announced as PH for Matz Pitching change, Florio in Walk Rosario sac bunt, misplayed by Florio, everyone safe Davis K Pitching change: Alexander in Conforto grand slam Pitching change: Stripling in Alonso doubles Ramos walks Fraze 6-4-3 DP On the one hand, these interruptions really sucked to endure; on the other I'm not looking forward to a so-called competitive match where a 2-2 game goes to shit because the first guy you go to doesn't have it that night. The Dodgers went down trying at least. I don;t know why they can't put the onus on the team to have their guys ready to go and simply decrease the time limit on the switch Two other things: Matz pitched really well Rosie got lucky on the sac bunt - he basically defended himself against the pitch and it worked out. But watch his triple, Reyes-esque. He's having a good series when we need him to.

This was the epitome of one of those games where things were actually sailing ahead of schedule (aka: sub-3:00 pace) as both pitchers had single-digit pitch innings ... and then the 7th inning arrives and the brakes get slammed on. Result = 3:22 Next year's proposed rule changes on minimum batters faced (although I still suspect this is far from a certainty to happen) would have re-done this inning substantially. But, in general, I'm dubious about putting limits on strategy (banning shifts, etc.). Better would just be to speed up the pitching changes by banning additional warmup pitches after arriving on the field. That change alone would have knocked at least three minutes of nothing but dead time off that half-inning.

And bring back intentional walks. They're good for the soul!
