Nugget while waiting for lineups: While Rosario racked up four hits last night and raised his road batting average to .311, let's note that Cano is 1-for-26 since his three-homer game last week.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 31 2019 02:28 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Cano looked as crap as ever last night lazy, wide swings, slow gait to first, barely moving in the field

The Mets have more bright red than the White Sox. I take that to be good for us

Oh, dear, it's Margaritaville Night at the ballpark.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 06:20 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

And that was an amazing display of terrible swing/terrible hustle by Canót.

kcmets Jul 31 2019 06:55 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Love when play is stopped to review a call that should be reversed and they waste two minutes to see what we all see and they stand by original call anyway.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 07:16 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Whew, deG. trusted that slider away to get Gimenez. Speaking of sliders away, if Alonso ever learns to lay off the slider down and away, he might be a keeper.

kcmets Jul 31 2019 07:19 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Maybe another way to speed up a game is to intentionally out a batter. "Cano leaving the on deck circle and Mickey signals to the ump he's out."

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2019 07:20 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Just what deGrom didn't need, two outs on four pitches right on the heels of his lengthy bottom 3rd. And now the side is out on 8 pitches

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 07:44 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

That inability to advance Frazier past second with no out felt kind of un-professional. The slider away with two strikes is pretty much the bread and butter for both pitchers tonight. I saw Hechy's strikeout coming before the pitch was released.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 07:58 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Hey, they scored a run because Goins didn't want to go for the DP against Ramos. I mean, that's never going to be a double-play ball ... with anybody else running.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2019 08:02 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

I think they probably had time to go to 1st and then still get Cano jogging towards 2nd. Still no hits w/RiSP 1 for 20 in this series

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2019 08:32 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

In 1,838 career ABs -- right about three full seasons' worth spread across four years -- the ChiSox SS Tim Anderson 'walk rate' [OBA - BA] is a stunningly low .028 (63 career walks). Take out the 11 HBPs and it gets even lower. Last season was his best ever and even that was just .041, barely more than half of a normal league average (.070 or so) I'm trying to think of extreme free-swingers of the past to see if I can find one even close to that low. My first thought of Tony Pena yields .049. Pudge checks in at .038

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 08:33 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

I think they probably had time to go to 1st and then still get Cano jogging towards 2nd. Point. Let's get deGrom a lead here and now.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 31 2019 08:33 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Giant nuts on this deGrom guy

Aaron Bummer. God bless him for reaching the big leagues with that name.

Justin Wilson is one of the top "not a Met" guys I can remember. Of course I can't remember the others.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 08:52 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

I'd pull Wilson with Jiménez coming up. Get a righty.

Holy smokes. Gift from Jiménez falling behind 3-0 and then staring at three strikes.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 31 2019 08:57 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Weird ass play right there. Was worried Cano wouldn't get there

Hit the umpire??? I don't think Cano gets to that.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2019 09:04 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

And another low-scoring game is about to go over the 3 hour mark

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 09:05 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Hi, Mickey, My name is Mr. Fan. Please pinch-run for Ramos. Love, Mr. Fan

bmfc1 Jul 31 2019 09:06 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Mickey is leaving in Ramos on the bases even though he runs as if he has a piano on his back while Lagares and Altherr are on the bench.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 09:07 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

PLAY THE GAME UNDER PROTEST, MICKEY!! THEY DIDN'T FINISH THE LINE!!

IT HIT THE YELLOW LINE FAIR AND RICOCHETED INTO FOUL TERRITORY!! RAISE HELL, MICKEY!!! I'M USING ALL-CAPS HERE!!!

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2019 09:08 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

You can see the mark where the ball hit, but you still can't tell if it was fair or foul I thought it was fair in real time but I don't think you can overturn it based on the video. ... and they don't.

Mickey might have done well to use Lagares as the pinch-runner, because he's the guy you want in for defense anyhow.

Conforto ordered TWO from Colomé!

Big friggin hit for Conforto who is finally coming alive as McNeil and Alonso slump

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 09:26 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

"Jeff McNeil seems sapped of his normal energy." Maybe the puppy wasn't such a great idea after all.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2019 09:29 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Do you dare Familia to close it out? Not sure if Diaz is available (or that you'd want him after last night). Ditto Lugo who pitched last night and Gsellman who threw two innings. So if not Fammy ... Bashlor? Meanwhile, 26 pitches from Colome almost certainly keeps him out of tomorrow's DGANG

G-Fafif Jul 31 2019 09:41 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Diaz pitches to the score, closes it out.

Edgy MD Jul 31 2019 10:16 PM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

Diaz is confounding, but that was really a 2019 homer — an opposite field high fly that just got up there and sailed.

I made it seven innings but missed the exciting conclusion. I can't hang with Central time any more.

I was watching the dems and the gamecast, then just the game, for the last couple innings both nights... That's the way to do it

G-Fafif Aug 01 2019 09:34 AM Re: IGT 07/31 - Mets at White Sox

I did a lot of switching back and forth the first night and was pretty sure I heard a candidate endorse Syndergaard For All.
