Another one game series day. The Mets are in the toaster but it hasn't popped up LGM

NYM (78‑73) Noah Syndergaard (RHP, 10-8, 4.15) COL (66‑86) Jeff Hoffman (RHP, 2-6, 7.03)

Ramos relieved of his personal hell catching Syndegaard

Kind of a put up or shut up moment for Thor. And Denver can be a tough place to put up.

That's another way of looking at it.



Tied at 1s after 2 after Mets leave the bags loaded in the second. Took a sweet diving play by their firstbaseman to keep two runs off the board.



I'm calling for two René Rivera homers today.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 02:01 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Rivera is studying the book on his forearm before every pitch. It led to a double-play here, anyhow.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 02:04 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Rosario, knock that crap down.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 02:15 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

And Frazier, Conforto, and Rosario each knock the crap out a pitch and all three get converted into unlikely outs.

Who is Sam Hilliard, and how is he hitting half of his season home run totals in this game?

A 6' 5"/238 lb guy who hit 35 in AAA this season

Of course 35 HRs in AAA I believe puts him near the back of the pack this season, particularly in Albuquerque

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 02:43 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Triple-play time.

Don't look over your shoulder, Aaron. Someone is gaining on you.

Interesting choice to not hit for Rivera.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2019 03:18 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

With Rene Rivera due up in a crucial situation, Mickey panic'd when he should have Panik'd

Twice now in this game they've left the sacks drunk.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 03:32 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Gary implicitly indicting M. Callaway for not managing with the urgency of a guy whose team's back is to the wall.

Gwreck Sep 18 2019 03:42 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

No reason to only be implicit. Mickey isn't the reason they won't make the playoffs. But he didn't help, and I don't think he deserves to return as manager next year.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 03:46 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

That one's on you, Brandon.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2019 03:47 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

They do double steals. We do double plays.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 03:48 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Also, looking over your shoulder AND not sliding? Come on.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2019 03:49 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Unless the ump specifically signaled 'Safe', you've got no argument. And even if the ump did, I'm not sure what could be done about it.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2019 04:09 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

It would help down this stretch if Conforto were, y'know, good.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2019 04:10 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Got a break on the first strike three call to Rosario ... and then the EXACT same thing happened anyway.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 04:11 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Man, Rosario, everyone in the park knew he was going to throw you another slider at your ankles.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 04:16 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Holy shit, Yonder Alonso is still in the league.

Two hits this inning through the 3-4 hole. In this age of shifts, that seems like a rare bird these days.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 04:34 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Wow, bags filled to the top with Mets, no outs, and Boom-Boom coming up.

Frayed Knot Sep 18 2019 04:35 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Alonso is in the on-deck circle with an i-Pad checking out the incoming reliever. Not sure I like that.

Edgy MD Sep 18 2019 04:39 PM Re: IGT 9/18 Gaydame 3:10 Syndergaard v Hoffman

Gosh, not a pitch near the plate. Don't need an iPad for that.

Reliever Joe Harvey comes in but turns into the Dark Nightmare for Rox fans.

Unless Cano hits a GIDP, I would hit for Lugo next.

We even manage to hit into GiDPs when the opposition botches the play AND makes a bad throw.

OK, strap in. Note that Story's hand is hurting him. Maybe bust him inside.

Such a lackluster performance to walk away with the win. A lot of head-up-the-ass play, some not-busting-it play. Nothing was right about that double-play. Canó hit it on the button into a spot that's always been a hit for 100 years, even with the infielders cheating for the double play. But Story doesn't even have to reach for it, because he's positioned perfectly. He's right on top of it. He's been making Gold Glove plays all day, but this one is coming in hot. Maybe it comes up on him a little, because it mostly hits his wrist. But even though he blew the catch, he's Trevor Fucking Story, so he's already rotating toward the secondbaseman coming over to cover, and the ball richochets perfectly with the front plane of his body to the second baseman. He gets to the bag in time. He mostly avoids the slide, but his throw is lousy. The firstbaseman has to leap a foot and a half into the air, but it doesn't matter, because Canó is still in second gear, and is out by 10 feet. That said, trading two outs for that run wasn't such a bad deal. It knocked 2.3% off the Mets win likelihood, but it could've been woise.

If I were a Rockies fan, I'd be a mopey Rockies fan tonight. But I'm a Mets fan, which means I moped for the first eight innings and am modestly giddy tonight.

That ball didn't even ricochet to the 2Bman as much as it ricocheted to the spot where the 2Bman was going to be anyway by the time the ball reached him. He (McMahon) not only didn't have to break stride in order to catch the rebound but he also didn't have to alter his path in order to continue towards the bag. There are trick-shot pool artists who don't get their angles that perfect.

This game had bad loss written all over it. It will still take a small miracle to catch the Cubs/Brewers, but the requisite miracle is a little smaller today. Yay Mets!
