9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 01:27 PM

Cooks.com has a 'Southern Fried' preparation using just simple ingredients (salt, pepper, flour, eggs, accent) that anyone can make at home ... providing you first know how to find one, buy one, and then skin one. The Food Network chips in with a 'Filipino Fried' dish, marinated in soy sauce of course. Not sure the the southwestern Diamondback is the same variety of rattler found in The Philippines however. Very different climates. Backwoodsbound.com looks to have plenty of them plus the usual assortment of squirrel, frog, raccoon, turtle recipes because ... well because of course they do. For the Mets tonight, a key ingredient will be young Diamondback Zac Gallen. "It's great (b)eating the older, more seasoned ones" said Mickey Callaway in today's presser, "but I really like to have me a big helping of the younger more tender cuts every now and then. Thems good eats!" A serving of Gallen would be a good chaser following Monday night's devouring of Ketel Marte. Jacob deGrom was so enamored of the dish that he had three helpings all by himself although did manage to leave one serving for his late-arriving friend Seth. The Mets have announced that they'll let Zack Wheeler carve the first slices in tonight's dish. Other table participants to be announced shortly.

Tuesday Night Mets Club reuniting at this one, we'll be in 407. It's basically win out from here, right?

Centerfield Sep 10 2019 01:42 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

The "win out" part of the season started yesterday. But yes, no more losing.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 10 2019 01:56 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Baseball Prospectus has the Mets at about 5% to get one of the wild card spots. And 0% to win the World Series.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 10 2019 02:31 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

I will be there tonight and the last Tuesday home game of the year which I think is the Marlins in 2 weeks. Also getting dragged to Friday's Dodgers games with some work people

Jeff McNeil – LF Pete Alonso – 1B Michael Conforto – RF Wilson Ramos – C Robinson Canó – 2B Amed Rosario – SS Brandon Nimmo – CF Todd Frazier – 3B Zack Wheeler – RHP

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 05:17 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

I think Wheeler sleeping through a base-stealer leaving early is an example of the Mets being underprepared, and it's cost them a run.

bmfc1 Sep 10 2019 05:18 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Do other teams allow runners to steal at will or only this team?

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 05:52 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

I'll give Todd Frazier credit. Doug Eddings is calling low strikes, and while other guys are going down looking, Todd reached down and watched that ball.

41Forever Sep 10 2019 06:24 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Five players in our starting lineup have names that end in O. When Syndergaard starts, Nido will make it six!

41Forever Sep 10 2019 06:39 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Todd missed a three-run homer by about five inches.

bmfc1 Sep 10 2019 06:41 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

He's safe. Just take Nimmo's word, he wouldn't lie.

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 06:41 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

I wouldn't over turn this one for the same reason I wouldn't have overturned the earlier one.

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 06:45 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

And it's somehow taken over an hour and a half to get through these 4 innings. The two replays are but a part of the problem.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 07:48 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

This Jones AB is tense.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 07:49 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

But Wilson cooks himself a snake.

41Forever Sep 10 2019 07:55 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Well, Pete didn't strike out this time. Tough game for him tonight.

Fman99 Sep 10 2019 08:01 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Christ, it's the 9th inning with a 1 run lead. I feel like I'm about to watch the part in Groundhog's Day where Bill Murray kills himself repeatedly.

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 08:02 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

So after Frazier's second double in the 4th inning: 2nd & 3rd, up 3-1 (should have been 4-1), still only one out, runners on 2nd & 3rd ... the Mets haven't had a baserunner since.

And here we go: leadoff runner on

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:04 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Wilson's pounding the zone, but he can't get the swing-and-miss when he needs it, and now there's the tying run on.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:06 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Well, he got Kelly to swing through a cutter. Let's see if he's got another in there.

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 08:06 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

This is just like his Philly inning so far: 24 pitches from Wilson and he's retired one batter. oe: gets his 2nd out (of the 4 he needs) on pitch #26

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:08 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Lugo is cryogenically frozen for the night, right?

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 08:08 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Five batters faced - two retired.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:10 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Shabus ... no new pitcher. No mound visit. An all-star hitter. AND OH, PISS MISSILE!!

41Forever Sep 10 2019 08:10 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Brain freeze by Pete on that one. But at least he got one.

Fman99 Sep 10 2019 08:11 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

I can't hardly look.

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:12 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Thank you, Wilmer.

I think the catcher has to be telling him where to throw.

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 08:14 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Whew!

41Forever Sep 10 2019 08:14 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

BOOKS!!!!

Frayed Knot Sep 10 2019 08:15 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Wilmer was blowing a bubble AS HE WAS SWINGING at that final strike. How can you do that?!??!?

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:15 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Out-hit 10-5. Got a four-out save by the skin of their teeth, with no margin for error, from a guy who should be the fifth option out of the pen. I feel like they stole this one.

Wilson was definitely saying something and pointing to 2nd. But in a rundown you still have to keep your eye on the guy at 3rd and Pete must have thought he was too far off the base at that moment. Maybe his biggest problem was not even glancing at the runner on 1st as he was going towards the base for the force. It's like that guy was totally out of Pete's thought process and/or his vision even though he was standing on the base as Pete trotted towards him (being off the base would have made him an easy target for a tag-step DP) but once he (the runner) realized that Alonso was paying him no mind is when he took off for 2nd. But Pete never even seemed to consider him.

kcmets Sep 10 2019 08:28 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Freaking Frazier, the love-hat/hat-love him bastard...

Edgy MD Sep 10 2019 08:37 PM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Frazier is like Mr. Tuesday this year, isn't he?

The whole Stadium was telling him. He'd have been out by 75 feet! High risk of a Little League Play there but we survived.



Need to double check but that was the 5th Zack Wheeler Tuesday Night Met Action this year, and I think we have won all 5. We have also had 2 Varagases, 1 Syndergaard and 1 Stroman. No deGroms and yet, Tuesday Night Mets are the Best Mets.



That might have been the worst combined games of McNeil and Alonso's season but they hung on. I would have liked Frazier to be hitting 8th all year.

Edgy MD Sep 11 2019 07:04 AM Re: 9/10/19 IGT - Now with more Rattlesnake recipes!

Yeah, picking up McNeil and Alonso is k3y.
