Lets make easy work of this Noah! Rosario is becoming an SS offensive weapon

ashie62 Aug 16 2019 04:20 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Rosario SS J.D. Davis LF Alonso 1B Conforto RF Frazier DH Lagares CF Panik 2B Nido C Tejada 3B Miggy!!

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 04:29 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

I guess when he's playing third, he's Miggier than usual, but I expect him to be more Reubenesque than anything.

ashie62 Aug 16 2019 04:56 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

I've been been known to conflate names. Never got Plawecki correct Ruben!!

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 06:17 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Wait, Cohen isn't back?

kcmets Aug 16 2019 06:33 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Has entire series off.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 06:54 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Hey, Gary Apple, it was Hendrix that played the national anthem. Come on, Keith. Lay him out for that.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 06:56 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Let's overturn this baby.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 06:58 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

I think the only controversy here is which base Davis is on.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 06:59 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

I would've given Davis third base, but it can go either way.

Methead Aug 16 2019 07:00 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

well, better than being in the dugout

Methead Aug 16 2019 07:01 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

and Davis is awarded home plate!

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 07:01 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

And the Mets take the lead either way. (I think Davis took off as soon as the ball got loose. He was exploiting the drop, not Merrifield's inaction in pursuing it.)

=kcmets post_id=19085 time=1566002033 user_id=53] Has entire series off.

I don't think this one was planned -- it certainly wasn't pre-announced as a vacay. He usually takes just one series off and it seems to be

around the ASB. It's also not like him to miss a BIG series like the one in Atlanta.

It makes me think that something is up, but I don't have any idea as to what.

Chad ochoseis Aug 16 2019 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

And like clockwork, he gives a shout-out to the Mets fans who have come to Atlanta for the game. Though, credit where due, he corrected himself.

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 07:23 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

End of 4 innings and we're just over one hour into the game. At this point in last night's game they had barely reached the top of the 2nd.

I suspect it's because they'd rather pretend it didn't happen than bring it up and further embarrass the substitute teacher when half the students are already making fun of him.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 07:27 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Tejada getting that AAAA-player disrespect from the ump.

Methead Aug 16 2019 07:34 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

These pitches aren't missing, come on

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 07:36 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Keeping our DP roll going -- Three DPs last night (one in the air, two on the ground) and now three more already tonight (one in the air, two on the ground) -- which, not surprisingly, results in our large on-base advantage [5 hits + 1 BB + 1 HBP + 1 Reached on Error --vs-- 1 hit + 1 BB] translating into only a small edge on the scoreboard.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 07:37 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Our play-by-play guy is out, and our sideline reporter too.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 07:39 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Did Nido just whiff on the catch on the play at the plate?

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 07:41 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Bottom of the order puts the Shmoyals ahead.

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 07:51 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

The 'Pine Tar Rag', was that Scott Joplin? Probably so seeing as how they're in Missouri

Methead Aug 16 2019 08:03 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

I'm pretty sure "Stolen Pillows" was the working title for Frampton's "I'm In You"

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:03 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Is Gordon like the last guy from the 2015 Champ Royals?

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:06 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Whenever Apple says it should be two, it isn't two.

Methead Aug 16 2019 08:06 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

hit on the ground, chopped high in the air, what's the difference

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:17 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Remember when, if they played Davis, Smith was available off the bench? And if they played Smith, Davis was available off the bench? Good times.

bmfc1 Aug 16 2019 08:21 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

This is quite a bench that Brodie assembled. Please call up Rivera because the other teams must be laughing every time that Nido is in the lineup.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:35 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Pulling the outside pitch and rolling it over to third is getting to be a habit.

I can't believe we're going to lose this fucking game. Too many wasted opportunities early and absolutely shit since.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:43 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Put in Sewald!!

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 08:46 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

And now we're just going to remove any doubt before even getting to the 9th.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:49 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Gil Hodges is signaling for Nolan Ryan.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2019 08:54 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Offs

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 08:55 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Not Díaz, but Die-az.

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 08:55 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

THE most predictable result of the season. We also would have accepted 'Bases-clearing double'

Diaz knows how to empty the bases.

41Forever Aug 16 2019 08:57 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Freaking Diaz.

bmfc1 Aug 16 2019 08:58 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

When your lineup has Lagares batting 6th, even against the Royals, you're in trouble. Ramos had 4 hits last night and there's a DH tonight but Mickey rests Ramos and Nido plays which is an automatic auto. Call up Rene Rivera for Nido who wouldn't hit .250 in AA. WSH won again so those two loses last Friday and Saturday really put them away as they haven't lost since. The Mets celebrated those wins as if they won the Series, not that this group would know what that's like.

Methead Aug 16 2019 08:59 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

just call it fair and end it already

batmagadanleadoff Aug 16 2019 09:00 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

This is reminding me of that tremendous line FAFIF pulled out in Game seven of the 2015 World Series on this forum, when the Royals were piling it on in the last inning and it became pretty fucking clear that the Mets were gonna lose the WS: - "I think I just saw Freddie Patek score".

batmagadanleadoff Aug 16 2019 09:02 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Wait. I think I just saw Freddie Patek unscore.

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 09:02 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Here's an idea for Diaz that he might want to try at some point: How 'bout retiring ONE batter. It would be a start anyway.

Frayed Knot Aug 16 2019 09:12 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

The only surprise thus far in top 9 is that the game didn't end on a GiDP

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 09:15 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

You don't get to see four runs pulled off the board every day.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2019 09:16 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

If only Pete Alonso could get a turn at bat.

41Forever Aug 16 2019 09:18 PM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Boo.

MFS62 Aug 17 2019 04:59 AM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

Bubba Starling? Seriously? Later

ashie62 Aug 17 2019 06:28 AM Re: IGT 8/16 Mets @ Royals, not the Monarchy

There is just too much offense on the injured list. I understand that the nest man up is expected to get it done. Think of it this way, on saturday two or our starting OF's will be Aaron Altherr & Lagares. Ouch Referring to a post from a different igt, Dilson! Come on up
