First IGT and first game attending this year. Gotta have it.

Amed Rosario – SS Jeff McNeil – 2B Pete Alonso – 1B Michael Conforto – RF J.D. Davis – LF Todd Frazier – 3B Juan Lagares – CF René Rivera – C Steven Matz – LHP

This probably isn't a must-win from a wild card perspective but it might be if the Mets want to retain any thoughts of winning the division. Lets go Mets! Beat that pitcher we should have signed!

It's getting to the end of the line for Todd. Helluva guy but with McNeil back, Nimmo soon, and Lagares not awful, Todd needs to be on the bench.

Well we didn't hit any come-backers or into any GiDPs that inning ... so, y'know, there's that.

Gary, Keith, the Otis Redding song and the Black Crows song are the same song.

Speaking of songs, when René Rivera walks, shouldn't they be contractually obliged to play "Walk Away, Renee" or something?

It's pretty goofy giving the team white hats and the pitcher a black hat.

Edgy MD Aug 25 2019 12:50 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Another DP comebacker but Kuechel blows it. Weird that Rosario wasn't running.

Weird that the Mets have a manager who takes out a pitcher who is doing well for no apparent reason.

Leadoff hit. Time for Keuchel to get his glove ready.

Nice job Juan, swinging at ball four.

Lefty Specialist Aug 25 2019 01:23 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Now THESE are the Mets I recognize- pitching and not hitting, alternated with hitting and not pitching. I blame the uniforms.

bmfc1 Aug 25 2019 01:33 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Amed swung at ball four twice. Please SNY, no more fawning over Chili Davis.

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2019 01:43 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

I predict that if this game were to go another 17 or 18 innings we could probably get the two runs we need.

Edgy MD Aug 25 2019 01:50 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

I like the no-double-play-ishness of a runner on second.

Edgy MD Aug 25 2019 01:51 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Let's put in Billy Hamilton to pinch-run for Davis.

ashie62 Aug 25 2019 01:52 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Never seen Frazier run that fast

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2019 01:53 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Even when they're not hitting into GiDPs, they're certainly trying real hard

Edgy MD Aug 25 2019 01:56 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Ramos only needs one trip to the plate to extend his hitting streak.

Edgy MD Aug 25 2019 01:57 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

Poo. Gross, sticky poo.

Seven runs scored in 33 innings for the series against what is essentially a league-average pitching staff. And, of course, the one day you bunch five of those seven runs (three of them on one swing) is also the only one where you allow more than two. Not gonna win games that way.

bmfc1 Aug 25 2019 04:18 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

From Friday: the Rosario AB, the Conforto AB. That game was waiting for them. I blame the whole weekend on those uniforms.

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2019 07:14 PM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

In the recent six NYM/ATL games, the Mets lost 5 of 6 and got out-scored 32-24 despite out-hitting the Braves 69-54 overall.

was at this one with the family. First game for the 2.5 year old. We got almost three innings in the seats before the 'disgusting' smell of sausage, peppers and onions by our seat was too much for the 5 year old and we wandered off to the shop and the ..Foxwoods? club.

Vic Sage Aug 26 2019 10:42 AM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

the only difference between the Mets during their winning streak and the last 4 games is that, instead of getting key hits at key moments, we didn't. So much of baseball is random chance and people are loathe to acknowledge that.

Ceetar Aug 26 2019 11:35 AM Re: IGT 8/25 a Matz Win Game

also Joe Panik.

So much of baseball is random chance and people are loathe to acknowledge that. They've recently perfected the art of spreading their hits out to one or two per inning, but then excelled at bunching the hits given up to the opposition -- hence the part about out-hitting the Braves by nearly 30% (69 to 54) across six games and yet winning just one of them. P.S. there's a chance that getting out-HR'd 12-4 is a factor as well.
