Little League rules apply in both games today. 'twould be real nice to steal a win off of Cole and then play with house money in the nightcap battle of the TBDs. He's obviously the best they've got although has been less than great lately. Coming off a drubbing from the BoSox, Cole's ERA was way up (4.65) in June, his K's are down, BBs are up, and HRs allowed way up (8 in 31 June IPs). Perhaps the result of a Sticky Stuff ban?!?!? And, if nothing else, Saturday's game took reliever Michael King out of the running for both games on Sunday which, seeing as how no one in the lineup could touch him, moves everyone else in their pen up one notch. I want to see them have to use Chapman for mop-up duty in a blowout loss.

A sweep leaves the Yankees with a sub-.500 record? I'd celebrate that with fireworks!

First pitch to Smith, I'm thinking, "He's just seeing the ball better." Second pitch to Smith, I'm thinking, "That ball's gonna get out of here."

Somebody needs to tell Alonso about that right field porch.

Good time for the Yankees to ground into a triple play.

They did, but the middle infield failed to get the DP twice.

Three-run rally from the bottom of the order for the Yankees. Stro unable to find a strike-three pitch.

Willets Point Jul 04 2021 01:00 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

Giving unearned runs to a team with a negative run differential is bad. But the Yankees defense looks like they are trying to zero it out by allowing some unearned runs for the Mets.

Willets Point Jul 04 2021 01:00 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

Except the umps are still pro-Yankee.

Edgy MD Jul 04 2021 01:01 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

The spikes don't count? I can see the argument that Voit's spike was kissing the base before Nimmo's sole came down, but if the spikes don't count (and I didn't know that), he's got to be safe.

Edgy MD Jul 04 2021 01:05 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

Cole is touching every part of his face hair and brim between pitches.

Willets Point Jul 04 2021 01:05 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

This would be a good time for Pete to get a cheap Yankee Stadium HR. Or even to crush a legitimate HR.

McKinney is seeing way too much action in left for an afternoon featuring a ground-ball pitcher.

Willets Point Jul 04 2021 01:16 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

Is McKinney playing too deep? Two hits fell in front of him.

Willets Point Jul 04 2021 01:18 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

Finally a DP, but a productive one for the Yankees.

Edgy MD Jul 04 2021 01:25 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

McNeil seems to suddenly be seeing the ball a little better too.

Great job hanging in there for the walk by McKinney. Blast it, Tomás.

Enjoying Mets' patient batting eyes today. Better than usual. And we exit the inning tied. Looks like Nimmo's boner cost them at least one.

Stroman exits with a smile. I imagine he's done. Didn't get any breakz today, but he also didn't have his strikeout pitch working at all. Hard to win without it.

I hadn't cared or noticed or cared to notice before this year how pimped out that stadium is with bush league advertising. They should include personal ads on the outfield wall while they're at it. Handsome guy coming out of Grindhouse gym (Williamsburg) Saw you walking out of Grindhouse gym in Williamsburg last week... Built, bald and bearded with grey sweaty tank top with huge arms. You caught me looking at your muscles and smiled and nodded and it completely threw me, and I kind of squeaked a 'hi' and felt ridiculous. I'm 99% sure you're straight but who knows...

Gwreck Jul 04 2021 02:39 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

Great news, we've got a superior bullpen and only need 1 to tie, two to take a lead. Easy enough to do with 3 more innings. Wait, what's that you say? The rules are arbitrarily different for this game for no good reason? Screw you, Rob Manfred.

That's problematic in the seven-inning rule as well as the magic-runner-on-second-in-extra-innings rule. Both favor the team with lesser depth.

I also don't think he's going to be much use beyond this inning when that welt starts settling in. Almora is the last bat off the bench in an AL game, so he's most useful as a pinch-runner and defensive sub.

One of the minor downsides of the 3-batter rule is that you'll never get the wordplay of Luetge being called in to be a LOOGY.

Edgy MD Jul 04 2021 03:07 PM Re: IGT 07/04 - Metropolitans at Yankees - Game One

That's the problem. McCann hits lefties better than Nido, but he's more of a strikeout threat.
