IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Well, you can't. Not now, not ever. For as great as he was Seaver was not in the same league as Jake at age 33. On we go. The gnats trot out retread Joe Ross. Ross has been ok. The 2021 early bias towards pitching is helping most bums. C'mon Marcus, party like it's 1968.

It's also on FS1 which means longer between-inning breaks. John "I'm Not As Good As Ron Darling" Smoltz is doing color. Goldsmith works for the Mariners. I expect Rosenthal to spend at least a half-inning talking about "the Mets culture". https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EzrvOKPXIAUPi0B?format=jpg&name=small>

On WPIX up here, so we Gary and others.

Good. I have trouble separating Fox sports from Fox news.

Let's[CROSSOUT] kick some ass[/CROSSOUT] go Mets! Later

It'd be crazy to try to match that performance. Marcus is kind of crazy, though.

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 02:10 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Well......no.

Edgy MD Apr 24 2021 02:11 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Yeah, that's not gonna work out.

Edgy MD Apr 24 2021 02:24 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

I'm pretty sure Lindor didn't see a strike there.

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 02:27 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Lindor doing his Carlos Baerga impression again.

bmfc1 Apr 24 2021 02:32 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Is Conforto trying too hard to live up to a contract that he doesn't have yet while Lindor is trying too hard to live up to a contract that he has?

LWFS Apr 24 2021 02:37 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

This ump has a... um... unique interpretation of the strike zone.

LWFS Apr 24 2021 02:41 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Walks, errors, seeing-eye business, and it's two runs.

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 02:44 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Stroman lost a little focus because of the ump there. And Conforto's throw home was a bit, um, bouncy.

LWFS Apr 24 2021 02:46 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

I mean, he was charging it for ten steps or so before fielding it; it would've been almost more understandable if he'd sailed it.

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 03:03 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Dunking and dorking and plays not made, and this is looking messy.

Edgy MD Apr 24 2021 03:32 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

I hate paying good money just to be dorked. I usually expect to be paid for that.

Edgy MD Apr 24 2021 03:36 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Well, a hardy welcome to 2021 for Michael Conforto's bat, anyhow.

McCann did everything he could not to take a walk.

LWFS Apr 24 2021 03:43 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

I'm not sure at what McCann was swinging. Maybe he was, like, lost in reverie, remembering appetizing pitches in days gone by.

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 03:46 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

The Mets seem listless today, almost like they have a hangover from watching deGrom pitch.

LWFS Apr 24 2021 03:47 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Oh, come ON, baseball fates. First cue-shot singles from the pitcher, now check-swing bloop singles?

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 03:48 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Schwarber with another dork. And here we go again.

Lefty Specialist Apr 24 2021 03:51 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Time for the grounds crew to remove the Tarpley.

LWFS Apr 24 2021 03:52 PM Re: IGT 4/24/21 Mets v Nats Follow that up Marcus!

Stephen Tarpley: most assuredly NOT in the Circle of Trust

I hate to see anybody hitting like a sucker, but Smitty kind of breaks my heart.

If they do throw one it's out of the zone. He's going to have to prove he can hit the off-speed and bendy pitches.
