Orioles at Mets. Enjaula las aves* John Means 4-0 1.37 Marcus Stroman 3-3 2.10 Vamos los Mets! Later * = cage the birds

Lefty Specialist May 09 2021 04:26 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

Very often, a guy coming off a no-no has a stinker the next time out. Let's hope for that. Means is pretty good, though.

once de mayo is left out in the sun, you're better off just throwing it away.

Villar's gotta make that play. If that was JD some would be yelling for Villar to play 3B.

better question would be: why the fuck is Lindor bunting?

G-Fafif May 11 2021 05:37 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

Lindor's bunting is not effective.

Frayed Knot May 11 2021 05:39 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

It also passed the buck to a LHB vs a LHP ... although it turned out that McNeil and Conforto had the best contact in inning 1

Edgy MD May 11 2021 06:04 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

McNeil gets hit #2 and pulls up a little gimpy. Good thing I have Todd Frazier on speed dial.

Edgy MD May 11 2021 06:28 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

Supposedly, McKneel looks OK. Sorry, Todd.

Thank you Orioles for bringing Means to an end.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Nido has to start more often.

Ugh, McCann

Lefty Specialist May 11 2021 07:21 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

McCann really really needs to sit down. He's not hitting and he irritates umpires by constantly bitching about the strike zone.

bmfc1 May 11 2021 07:22 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

Ugh, McCann Sandy: "I have a great idea! Let's not wait for Realmuto. We'll sign this guy now coming off one good season and save the Realmuto money for a big free agent!" (which they didn't).

Fman99 May 11 2021 07:25 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

Oh no. Awful collision there between Almora and the CF fence.

Edgy MD May 11 2021 07:29 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

The Mets not only lose Almora here, but they lose Smith's bat in the eighth.

Down to Maz and Nido on the 4-man bench.

Jeez, Almora left an indent in the GEICO outfield sign that looks like a dang radiation photograph.

That was the most ridiculous challenge I've ever seen ... even more so because it came after a five minute delay.

What a bunt. Maybe Pete should have done that given the way he's hitting. That was mean. I'm annoyed. But geez, hit a damn fly ball, you're Pete Alonso.

The new Maz does it again. He was "on" every pitch. And Villar's run home. Wow.

Edgy MD May 11 2021 09:03 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

If you can't get Pillar's home run, you should be happy to get Villar's run home. Good win for the Tuesday Night Mets Club.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 11 2021 10:21 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

It really was. We suffered in the cold wind again for 9 long innings. Sat in field level behind left field fence, just one section over from where Pillars fake home run was hit. It was obviously foul to us and we felt like idiots cheering it. Hating hard on McCann and Alonso, worried for Almora who really hit the fence hard -- they wouldn't show a replay. McNeil was like my little league team pulling up before the bag and getting dead-ducked. We had the whole 9th worked out, saw the outfielders way too deep for how Smith had been hitting lately, and knew Mazeika would come through somehow, but Villar's dash home was shockingly quick. Rode the bike to and from!

I'd be afraid it would be chopped up. It's a good bike, I've realized since I got it it's easy to get a bike 3-4x more expensive these days. There were 2 other bikes on the racks last night -- if I were a thief I'd have stolen mine second. The racks are alongside the left-field corner, close to the building and opposite where they've constructed these tents in the front lot where, I think, employees pass through fever-checkers. There was a temporary Amazon distribution center in those tents before the season. There's a security booth right there too, for the tents, not the bikes but it's right there. And all that stuff in the lot is fenced off, so it's not really all that accessible for thieves, although I'm sure they could if they were determined. Used 2 locks. Ride is short for me-- basically 80-some blocks, a straight line, about 4 miles or ~20 minutes so just as fast if not faster and cheaper than the subway

kcmets May 12 2021 01:54 PM Re: IGT el Once de Mayo 5/11

Sounds fun and cool, and I imagine the perimeter of the stadium is more secure than what I was thinking earlier. Cameras everywhere these days.
