IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

[youtube]aXJhDltzYVQ[/youtube] Minneapolis has the Twins, but we're going for triplets winwise. Zack Wheeler will endeavor to keep the elevator from bringing us down. Michael Pineda will punch a higher floor where his ERA is concerned.

In a scheduling oddity (what isn't these days?) the Mets have nearly 16% of their remaining games (11 of 69) against AL Central opponents. At first I thought it was more because I only remembered the first two games against the Twins and totally forgot about the trio they already played vs Detroit back in May. So far: 3-2 So that's two remaining against the very good Twinkies; three vs the occasionally good Injuns, and then three each vs the weak but improving ChiSox and also the very bad Royals And speaking of bad teams, we also have seven left vs the Marlins (3 in early August then 4 in late September) with all being at CitiField Now if only we could be the phucking phillies!!

All right, Matz, consider this first inning the second.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 16 2019 06:32 PM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

Whoa Matz had a 1-2-3 first inning

Nelson Cruz is still playing? I think I got his baseball card when I was 10 years old. Later

How the devil have the Mets gotten through the last two innings with only one run scored? Also, I have to say, these Twins are, like, mutant-big. Every one of them scares the shit out of me. I knew they hit a prodigious amount of homers, but it didn't occur to me that they'd all look like Pete Alonso's big brothers. They're like the Gashouse Gorillas.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 16 2019 08:06 PM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

Sure bring Fammy in. What could go wrong?

Cano could drop the force throw, he answered

C'mon McNeil. Be the guy you were before you were traded to the SHaMs.

Man, it hurts my back when I see Alonso lurch at that slider away below the knees.

I give Cano credit. He doesn't just hit into your typical double play. He hits into ALL KINDS of double plays.

Edgy MD Jul 16 2019 08:42 PM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

Thanks for the four hits, Conforto, but you could have stayed in the pickle for a moment or two.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 16 2019 09:58 PM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

I kinda forgive his struggle given the interupted at bat and weak grounder, bit yeah I was convinced he would walk in the tying run

Centerfield Jul 17 2019 08:51 AM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

That was crazy. He didn't throw one good slider that whole inning. Pretty obvious that this was a guy who had a live, moving fastball and a wipeout slider, and now he's just left with his fastball.

i no longer watch the last inning of games, unless we're losing. If we're ahead in the 8th or 9th, and the bullpen is coming in, i change the channel. The satisfaction of seeing them complete a victory is greatly outweighed by the torture of seeing them collapse.

Edgy MD Jul 17 2019 09:15 AM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

The Mets beat a helluva good team, but how many times did the bounces go the Mets' way in this one? The Conforto dribbler for the go-ahead RBI, Canó not getting called for the drop at second (probably the right call, but it could have gone either way), the Mach-2 screamer into Alonso's glove, the Mach-2 screamer into Frazier's glov, etc. Lugo was the best I've seen him in a while, but to a large extent, the bullpen was just getting the breaks. Matz' was, too, come to think of it. The play of the game might have been Frazier fielding that infield hit in the ninth, and not making a throw. Also, that double off the wall where the throw went to second and Rosario wasn't there covering? What the hell?

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 17 2019 09:32 AM Re: IGT 7/16/2019: NYM @ MIN — Let’s Go Crazy (Let’s Get Nuts)

Yup to allathat. But guess what? Twins didn't play like a first-place team either and got what they deserved
