Salvation day.

I'm not watching. I need to detatch after last night.

No joy in Pittsburgh as Metsies leave 'em loaded in the top o' the first.. Maybe I'll go out and dry the grass.

ashie62 Jul 18 2021 11:23 AM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Things were fine until Gary Thorne showed up.

ashie62 Jul 18 2021 11:35 AM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

walker is struggling, again. 29 pitches in the first, and counting.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 11:36 AM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

The Gary Thorne factor is certainly a thing that passed through my head. Keith's favorite part of analysis is deep-diving explorations of official scorer's decisions.

Oh dear God. arguing confusion and Rojas is restrained

Mets players arguing while the Pirates run the bases.

Is this rock bottom? Is this David Cone Day?

Well, my Sunday afternoon suddenly opened up.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 18 2021 11:41 AM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

yup

ashie62 Jul 18 2021 11:41 AM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

6-0. Walker is done.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 11:43 AM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Stick around, folks. The Jauss Effect is about to kick in.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 12:37 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Mets have it closed to 6-1 with two on and no out in the fourth. Villar would be home by now if he had hustled out of the box on his pop single.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 12:37 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

NO MATTER. FIRST CAREER HOMER BY BLANKENHORN CUTS IT TO 6-4.

ashie62 Jul 18 2021 12:37 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

We have a game Mr. Blankenhorn.

ashie62 Jul 18 2021 12:38 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

All hail Jauss!

Maybe it's not nice to pile on given that it's been a tough weekend, but Howie is out this weekend and Ed Coleman is on. And Ed Coleman is not a good play-by-play announcer. Almost makes me long for the return of Wayne Hagin.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 12:53 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

KEWL. They pull Brubaker in the fourth to bring in a righty to face Davis. Davis walks and now that righy has to face Smitty and Conforto.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 12:55 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Not quite, ... but STAY TOONED!

Almost makes me long for the return of Wayne Hagin. Yeah I can't follow the action with Ed, and instead watching the pictures, putting together what's happening before Gary T can figure out how to describe it to me. "That's... uh... . and ... uh, caught... "

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 01:55 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

The Aaron Loup Game.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:13 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

A lot of missed opps this afternoon. Going to the eighth still needing one. Top of the order. McCann and Peraza available on the bench.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 18 2021 02:18 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Have Pete steal. They'll never expect it!

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:23 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Or strike out Davis with high cheese, which they totally expect.

"And that's ... in there." — Poor Gary Thorne calling that homer

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:45 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Paparazzi almost added to the lead with a jolt of his own.. Now we need Diaz to do ... better.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:46 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Nope, the Mets pull the Trevor Lever.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:50 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Some lousy calls gets Civil War Ben Gamel a leadoff walk. Let's get a Nogowski double play NoGOW!!!! Nope, but a fly out is a start.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:53 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Two.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 02:55 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

POW! LIBROS! All you Kwitkowskis missed a heckuva game. That's OK.

As the ball was sailng outtathere, I'm thinking -- WTF are you looking at, Gary?

Hot fucking damn.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 18 2021 02:59 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

I guess the thing not to do in this series is to get ahead by six runs.

MFS62 Jul 18 2021 03:03 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Psst. Quick! Get out of town before somebody realizes the Mets won and makes them play another inning. Later

bmfc1 Jul 18 2021 03:05 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Is that a "circle" win?

As the ball was sailng outtathere, I'm thinking -- WTF are you looking at, Gary? His secondary narrative was suggesting a routine flyball. Initially he seemed to think it was a swing and a miss. He was missing balls all over the place — often stalling until the play was complete. He blew the final out too. I wonder if their monitors can put can put a glowing atmosphere around the ball (is that called a tracer?) for guys calling the games remotely. He seemed to occasionally have interesting thoughts to offer during the series — some hackneyed stuff, but not as much as some other baritone septuagenarians — but he really seemed to be out of his depth in figuring out what was going on on the field, all three games. Given enough time, he hopefully could adapt, but it's just a three-game junket.

The Blankenhorn Game.

Frayed Knot Jul 18 2021 06:21 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

I actually Just Now!! got through this one via delayed (and not knowing the outcome) viewing. After nearly throwing whatever was in my hand at the time through the TV set (and likely through the wall behind it) during bottom 1st, i was skipping bottoms of innings for a while for fear of seeing more 3rd graders playing some sport which vaguely resembled baseball. This had to be the most ridiculous game at the end of the most ridiculous series (double series really) in a very long time. btw, watching via half-inning and commercial skips still took around three hours

Fman99 Jul 18 2021 06:39 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

I caught the last few innings -- got to see them get the lead back and shut the door for the W.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2021 09:03 PM Re: IGT 07/18, Metsies at Buccos

Fun Ralph fact dropped by Gary Thorne today: Part of the reason Ralph frequently malapropped Gary Carter's name into "Gary Cooper" was because he was actually buddies with Gary Cooper. Because he was Ralph Kiner. It was institutional bits like this, among other fun digressions, that made me think he wasn't a hopeless cause despite his struggle to pick up the action off of the monitor.
