Gana uno por la rata.* Merrill Kelly 2-2 5.79 Joey Lucchesi 0-2 10.13 or ? Vamos Los Mets! Later * = win one for the rat.

Grr. Lucchesi. https://static3.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Rocket-Guardians-Of-The-Galaxy-Vol-2-Official-Poster-Cropped.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=960&h=500&dpr=1.5 >

Ooooh! A picture of a rat! I'd rather see Yamamoto than Lucchesi. We've seen enough of Lucchesi for a while.

ashie62 May 08 2021 10:54 AM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Merrill Kelly sounds like the name of a singer. Have to believe Lucheeze gets yanked from the rotation if he blows chunks today

Lefty Specialist May 08 2021 01:50 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Forecast is not optimistic, with rain tonight and tomorrow. They're going to wind up playing like 32 games in 20 days in August & September.

G-Fafif May 08 2021 02:12 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Looks like we got ourselves an opener. McNeil 2B Lindor SS Conforto RF Alonso 1B D. Smith LF Pillar CF Villar 3B McCann C Hunter RHP

Sure is an eye-opener. I thought Willard Hunter was a lefty.

Oh, wait..



Why don't they just give Sean Reid-Foley the start and be done with it? He's already shown he can go four innings, why not stretch it to five?



Later

G-Fafif May 08 2021 02:50 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Reid-Foley was sent down this week. Can't come back yet.

ashie62 May 08 2021 04:51 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

The sun is out. So Lindor and McNeil went at it. Yeesh.

Edgy MD May 08 2021 05:21 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

A dumb delay over a bad call already.

Frayed Knot May 08 2021 05:24 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

How long until 'Covid Protocol' is a band name? Hell, it probably is already.

Who was that masked man?

Johnny Lunchbucket May 08 2021 06:25 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Pillar making us not miss Zimmo that much. Smith playing like he's the one who loses ABs when it happens

LWFS May 08 2021 06:31 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

This game he's having, I'm wondering who _Pillar_ hand-thrashed in the dugout tonight, is what I'm wondering

Johnny Lunchbucket May 08 2021 06:37 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Start Mazeika NOW!!!!

G-Fafif May 08 2021 06:38 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Nice going, McCann.

Fman99 May 08 2021 06:55 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Thought that too. As the 8th hitter he's got to not be a complete zilch up there. But here we are. Encouraging signs of life from Lindor.

Fman99 May 08 2021 07:07 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

I've grown weary of Lucchesi. Three innings and a cloud of dust, this guy.

Fman99 May 08 2021 07:14 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Wow, Familia looking sharp there.

Frayed Knot May 08 2021 07:16 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Weird line score so far, the two teams are a combined 4 runs on 5 hits with 4 errors

LWFS May 08 2021 07:17 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Familia looking sharp in general. His stuff and control have been vintage for the last 3-4 weeks.

Not sure about him pitching a second inning, though.....

Lefty Specialist May 08 2021 07:39 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Typical Familia inning- weak contact that leads to base hits.

Frayed Knot May 08 2021 07:40 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

But even here in his second inning, the two hits have been super-soft.

Centerfield May 08 2021 07:42 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Omg. How many soft hits.

Lefty Specialist May 08 2021 07:43 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21 Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 08 2021 07:45 PM

'three of the softest hits you'll ever see'

Centerfield May 08 2021 07:43 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Didn't get the called strike. Phantom foul tip. Such bad luck.

Centerfield May 08 2021 07:45 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Rojas not having Loup ready. So frustrating.

Lefty Specialist May 08 2021 07:47 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Jeez.

seawolf17 May 08 2021 07:48 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

JEEZUS Lindor. Holy moley. Also, Alonso somehow mixes Olerud-style defense and Piazza-style defense at first into every game.

dinosaur jesus May 08 2021 07:48 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Lindor with a case of the yips. Survived that one, though.

Lefty Specialist May 08 2021 07:59 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

OK, nice run.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 08 2021 07:59 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

That was a skillful gather of a ball that wanted to eat him alive, though. Sometimes them directly at ya can be most difficult. Sketchy throw tho.

Frayed Knot May 08 2021 08:12 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Three hour mark from the start of the game .... must mean we're in the top of the 8th

Frayed Knot May 08 2021 08:20 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

The infield shifts have not worked in our favor tonight

Fman99 May 08 2021 08:27 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

May worming up to close, Diaz getting a day off having pitched Thursday & yesterday.

Edgy MD May 08 2021 08:31 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

Worming indeed. That Almora batting average has got to be some comfort to Lindor.

LWFS May 08 2021 08:33 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

May to close? I'll take it.

June can close next month. I try not to make too much of that "first batter faced" figure.

Edgy MD May 08 2021 08:38 PM Re: IGT el Ocho del Mayo 5/8/21

There isn't much value to holding the runner on. Keeps the DP alive, but I'm not sure that's a good tradeoff.

Except for the run that Jake drives in.

Not liking how hittable May's change seemed to be, but three outs is three outs.
