IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

bmfc1 Apr 24 2021 08:05 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Apr 25 2021 09:00 AM

It's Sunday afternoon and the rubber game of the 3-game series for the Mets against the scummiest pieces of scum in the National League, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's of baseball, the Washington Nationals. Taijuan Walker will try to be as good in the middle innings as he is in the early innings while the Mets hope that Patrick Corbin is as bad today as he was in his first two starts and not as good as he was in his 3d start. Details on batter v. pitcher are at the link. Conforto and Davis are likely salivating at the thought of facing Corbin. Maybe Villar will get the start at 2B to give McNeil a day to play golf, I mean rest. (Update: true!) Pete moves up, Lindor moves down, Villar starts at 2B and it's an AA meeting in CF. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/nationals-vs-mets/2021/04/25/634344#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=634344 It will be raining in the 11368 in the morning but this says that it will be clearing around game time: https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/11368:4:US Here are the game odds: Nationals +140, Mets -155 HOME: 1. Brandon Nimmo (L) LF 2. Pete Alonso (R) 1B 3. Francisco Lindor (S) SS 4. J.D. Davis (R) 3B 5. Michael Conforto (L) RF 6. James McCann (R) C 7. Jonathan Villar (S) 2B 8. Albert Almora Jr. (R) CF 9. Taijuan Walker (R) P VISITOR: 1. Josh Harrison (R) 2B 2. Yadiel Hernandez (L) RF 3. Trea Turner (R) SS 4. Josh Bell (S) 1B 5. Kyle Schwarber (L) LF 6. Starlin Castro (R) 3B 7. Yan Gomes (R) C 8.

About 4% chance of rain at 1:10 first pitch — bet that they play!

What's FanDuel pay on 4% chance, hopefully Gary Apple will break that down for us.

Well, that was a laborious first inning.

Are the Mets ... sharp on defense ... today?

Edgy MD Apr 25 2021 12:34 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Keith would call that too close to take. I'm not sure I'd agree. I do think, in a world of robo-umps, Brandon would reach at about a .600 rate.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2021 12:37 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Would have been nice to see that following a Brandon Nimmo walk.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2021 12:47 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Oh, Lindy ...

Booo! replay sucks!

bmfc1 Apr 25 2021 12:49 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

I was happy to hear that Schwarber was going to be the regular LF for the WSHs, remembering his falling down in the NLCS. Sadly, it looks like he's improved a lot in the last 5 years.

Friggin Lindor is killing us

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2021 12:52 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

He's also played a few very tentatively out there that a better LF maybe catches. Anyway, it looks like today is 'Make Outs on the Bases' day.

Almora caught the damn ball

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2021 01:05 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

And how many times do you see it, the guy who makes a great play to end the inning bats second in the bottom half?

Edgy MD Apr 25 2021 01:05 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Somehow looking for more from Walker.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2021 01:16 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

JDD doing that multiple shuffle-step thing again ... although his throws have been good. btw, Almora's glove gives me a hankering for some key lime pie

Edgy MD Apr 25 2021 01:22 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Sliding practice, guys. Just go back to basics.

Lefty Specialist Apr 25 2021 01:23 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Can Lindor be sent to the alternate site for a week or two?

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2021 01:53 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

Way to win the series, Mets

1) The Mets win 2) Against WSH 3) Only 2:42 4) They played well! The Mets clearly read the thread title and said, "you got it, bmfc1!" This would have been a bad loss, to lose a series while playing them w/o Soto and not facing Scherzer (while they had to see deGrom) and Strasburg. But it wasn't, it was a good win!

Mets win with Smitty being sitty.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2021 01:58 PM Re: IGT 4/25/21 Mets v Nats: Catch The Damn Ball!

And a sub-3:00 game certainly didn't seem to be in the offing after that 1st inning.

Almora caught the damn ball. https://twitter.com/chrismcshane/status/1386457711659962372?s=21

That's gorgeous. In the Final Four for sure.
