I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Here for the Mets premiere of 41 year old lefty Rich Hill. Batting average against him is .220, not too shabby.

I'm a little concerned w/Hill having faced TOR just 2 weeks ago but I'm sure that the Mets took that into account when deciding whether to pitch him today instead of tomorrow.

Springer leads off with a double. Hill exceeds the definition of a soft tosser.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 11:41 AM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Villar plates J.D. to get on the board. 1-0 Metsies.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 12:13 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Rich hill needs a fan club. He's a fun guy to have on your side.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 12:18 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Five clean ones with big help from TOMAS.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 12:23 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

J.D. 2-2

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 12:30 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Guillorme doing simple things that Lindor struggled with. .... like getting on base....

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 12:46 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Getting on bez is not that simple. Guillorme's good.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 12:48 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Hill, meanwhile has left the game after leaving with the bags full of beans and no out. Loogie gives up a two-out single with an 0-2 pitch and the score is now 2-1, Jays.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:03 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Pete coming up as the tying run against Borucki, who he destroyed in game one.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:05 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

DESTRUCTION!

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:07 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

I think Pete Alonso has a massive early lead in the SHaMVP race.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:16 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Two on and two out and I'm not saying Jacob Barnes should groove one here to the pinch-hitting Jeff McNeil, but he should know that the Mets haven't yet decided on how much of a playoff share he should get.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:21 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Two-run pinch-hit double for McNeil! Full post-season share for Barnes!!

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:23 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Always sexy when a guy comes up to pinch-hit with a hitting streak on the line and he extends it in his only opportunity. It's hot, and it's heavy.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:26 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Inneresting that McNutty is being allowed to stay out there and run the bases. Guillorme makes the third out and now the Mets go out there to defend a lead over the last three innings.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:38 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

"Lazy Mary" > "Piano Man"

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 01:44 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

I forgot how much Nimmo means to the offense.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 01:45 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Mets really starting to get at the back end of the bullpen here.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 01:49 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Springer is a Met killer.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 01:52 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

McCann on the move.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 01:53 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

McCann not moving fast enough.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 02:01 PM frag

Would kind of like to see defensive replacements for Dom Smith and/or J.D. Drew, as the Jays pull within one on their third straight hit off o' May.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 02:08 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Very nice. Felt like they were gonna cough up the lead.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 02:26 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Shmying run in scoring position with two out.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 02:26 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Good lord, Diaz just sucks it.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 02:27 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Redeem yourself Edwin.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 02:30 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

BOOKS!

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 02:30 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Oh, man, getting Bichette to finish it on a sweeping slidey outside of the strike zone.

MFS62 Jul 25 2021 02:32 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Can we exhale now? Whew! Later

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 02:32 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Puts the Braves five back entering the five-game series.

ashie62 Jul 25 2021 02:44 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

I believe we will see Carrasco in this next series. Jake looking like sometime in august at the latest I do hope..

bmfc1 Jul 25 2021 02:56 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

Helluva win today.

G-Fafif Jul 25 2021 04:51 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

We made it through the Jays… Beautiful Promenade afternoon for a Mets win, save for the overwrought volume of the PA crap, between innings, between batters, between every other word a person tries to say to another person. Old Rich Hill can come back and try his hand again real soon. Pete's ablaze, Squirrel's awake, Loup's a godsend.

I was at the game too, with my two grown kids. First visit to Citi since a loss to the Cubs in August 2019. They play a "Mets History" video before the game starts. I still get goosebumps from Mookie's grounder, even though I've seen it a thousand times. Same thing happened when they showed Piazza's September 2001 homer. Lazy Mary is MUCH better than Piano Man. The guy who sang God Bless America was endearingly quirky. My daughter really got a kick out of him. George Springer roundly booed at every plate appearance. Cow Bell Man made a brief appearance in our section, along with his sidekick Pinman, with whom I wasn't familiar. Exiting via the ramps at Citi after a Mets win isn't as fun as it was at Shea. I love that I can still park for free under the Northern Blvd overpass. I've been doing this ever since the 1980s.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2021 07:36 PM Re: I.G.T 7/25 Blue Jays @ Mets King of the Hill v Stripling

I can't recall my Dad ever parking anywhere else.

A cantor — a man called Schwartz — sang GBA. Really sold it.
