Come on, Ike and Tina. Give us some offense.

The cardboard audience members in Buffalo look more-or-less consistently and appropriately sized.

Edgy MD Sep 12 2020 05:14 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Gary: Three-and-two on Rosario. Ramos on first, not likely to go. #analysis

Kirk looks like the catcher in Moneyball who wears a big pair of underwear.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2020 06:16 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

And the "limit" on replays is once again ignored.

Cano needs to start hitting to make up for his lack of range.

Mets need to show some chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train, NOW!!

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2020 07:02 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Let's just get it over with and have reviews of every call.

bmfc1 Sep 12 2020 07:11 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

This is where a 3d C would be helpful--so they could pinchrun for Ramos.

Bo Bichette's given first name is actually Bo, it's not short for anything. Papa Dante was born Alphonse Dante Bichette. Dante Jr., older brother of Bo, was a high draft pick by the Yanx but his career has seemingly stalled.

I DO enjoy Miguel Castro's sock/shoe game immensely

LWFS Sep 12 2020 07:26 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

His not-letting-the-opposing-team-hit-it game is decent, as well

kcmets Sep 12 2020 07:30 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Alonso, lost at the plate...

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2020 07:48 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

The story about Gary missing last night's game recalls the great WC Fields joke. In one of his movies, WC's character faked the death of his Mother in Law to get out of work and go to the track. "It must be hard to lose your mother in law" his boss said to him. "Yes" he replied, "it's nearly impossible".

LWFS Sep 12 2020 07:55 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Nimmo, he does get on

LWFS Sep 12 2020 07:56 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Ramos, he does do that

bmfc1 Sep 12 2020 07:57 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

2-0 count, the pitcher is upset at the calls, and Wilson weakly grounds into two. So much for his carryover from last night.

LWFS Sep 12 2020 08:00 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

So... unlimited challenges, then?

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 12 2020 08:01 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

What this game needs is another replay

Fuck you Amed. You can join Luis Castillo and go fuck yourselves or each other. I don't care. Fuck you both.

bmfc1 Sep 12 2020 08:07 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Mattingly would have enjoyed all the challenges. Apparently "using your challenges" is just bullshit.

So MLB is telling us that that replay provided "definitive proof" not only to flip a call but to end a game by erasing the tying run with a flipped call? BULLSHIT!! Regardless of which team is helped or hurt, that one was no more or less definitive than the previous pickoff review and despite all the assurances that only "obvious" calls will be reversed, the track record shows that anything with 51% probability and guesswork is enough to stop the game a half dozen times and correct "wrongs" that couldn't carry an agreement beyond MAYBE a slight majority of those viewing it. This system sucks, it always sucked, the NFL has been at this since the Reagan administration and their system sucks worse and gets worse all the time despite claims that they just need a bit more time to "smooth out the rough edges". "But there will be challenge limits!! ... And there will be time constraints!! ... And if it corrects just one bad call it's worth it!!!" ... No! It! Isn't! And tonight was a 3-2, 8-1/2 inning game that took nearly 3-1/2 hours and MLB seemingly has no idea why or how to correct it. I might have a few suggestions for them.

bmfc1 Sep 12 2020 08:24 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

Well said. I watched some of the tennis today and their replay system figured out "in or out" in a few seconds. With this system and these dopes it takes 2 to 3 minutes every time.

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2020 09:07 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

The tennis system is more akin to the proposed Robo-Ump which, as you know, is something I'm in favor of. It's a technology driven device with near-instant feedback which makes a definitive In/Out call. It involves no guesswork, no 14 camera angles to examine so as to Maybe get a new view, and no staring at super-slo-mo like it's the Zapruder film with some hidden info that will bust the case wide open if only we look long enough and hard enough. And, as far as I know anyway, tennis DOES have limits on challenges and they DO enforce them. The players (not some dude in a booth somewhere) make the appeal and it needs to be instant and they need to use them wisely rather than risk them on 50/50 shots on the basis that there's no harm in NOT trying it and maybe they'll get lucky.

bmfc1 Sep 13 2020 07:01 AM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

McNeil didn't get hit by the pitch/Rosario was out. Are you sure because either of those calls could have cost the Mets the game.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 13 2020 11:55 AM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

I was watching with the sound off during the mcneil event. He looked pissed at Rojas for failing to support him. Is that so? Has Rojas even broken his ejection cherry yet?

kcmets Sep 13 2020 12:04 PM Re: IGT 09/12 - NYM at TOR in BUF - Swing Your Hips, NOW!!

I wasn't listening either but that looked like a pretty heated exchange and obvious pissedoffedness, not a good sign for a rookie skipper.
