Predicting a victory tonight.

Willets Point Aug 10 2021 07:52 AM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

The hot streak starts tonight.

As Keith would say, you gotta beat up on the second division teams. Phillies playing the Dodgers this week, so there could be an opportunity to make up some of what was lost over the weekend. It would be great to get some momentum before going into the LA/SF/LA/SF gauntlet coming up over the next two weeks.

As long as we win, say, 13 out of 16 these next two-plus weeks, then hey, we're right back in this thing.

The Phillies got super hot while we were slumping. They can't sustain it, and we're better than this! Coming back strong tonight!

The Nats laid down real nice last week against ATL and PHL, part of the reason we're dropped to 3rd place. Hopefully that trend continues.

Carter Keiboom's name is kinda amusing to me.

TransMonk Aug 10 2021 03:22 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

Man, I hope he doesn't hit a HR tonight.

Watch us be shut out and their hitters go wild on our lads

rain most likely coming too, should be agood one.

Thunder and lightning joining the downpours here in Smaltimore.

duan Aug 10 2021 05:21 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

Bleh down 3-0 before an out …

Frayed Knot Aug 10 2021 05:22 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

And the insurmountable lead had been established. Of course a solo HR would have achieved the same result.

duan Aug 10 2021 05:40 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

And as we get momentum… it's third out on the base paths ….

Frayed Knot Aug 10 2021 05:43 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

We didn't have a great camera angle on that play, but I don't know about that out of the baseline call. It seems to me that we've seen that called much more strictly this season and Dom seemed to be well within reach of the base.

MFS62 Aug 10 2021 05:49 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 10 2021 05:51 PM

One of the baseball websites (SNY?) had an article about the series. The gist was, the Nats are at reduced strength due to recent trades and injuries, so one key for the Mets was to avoid giving Soto anything too good to hit with runners on base. Shitfuck. As FK mentioned, the way they have been hitting, this is an insurmountable lead. Later

duan Aug 10 2021 05:49 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

I don't blame Dom - and think you could well be right but it does play in to the “they manage to find a way to fuck it up”

Frayed Knot Aug 10 2021 05:51 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

And speaking of 3R HRs, July 19th is the last time the Mets had one of those. I'm sure none of this will come as a surprise to anyone here but: -- the last 7 HRs the Mets have hit have all been solo HR as have 13 of their last 19. The other six have been five 2R HRs plus a Dom GS -- the 3R HR came on 7/19 on a day when the Mets tallied seven against the Reds: 3 solos, 3 2R HRs, and a 3R job

I don't blame Dom either. In fact I think he played it as well as he could once he read the bounce and maybe deserved a non-call on his evasive move.

Fman99 Aug 10 2021 06:01 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

Is it a delay or have they called it? The SNY garbage time programming says "Rain Out" instead of "Rain Delay."

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 10 2021 06:32 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

Rain still coming down here at Citifield but forecast says it'll also stop. Made a good decision 3not bike it in tonight. Having 🍿and 🍺. BTW, we're totally going to win tonight

It's totally stopped raining and now they suspend it. #LousyCheapassCohens

kcmets Aug 10 2021 07:53 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

4:10 start tomorrow to resume play for nine innings. Night cap will be a seven- inning game. Have to check with Stockholm to see if this is tomorrow's thread or if a new one will be started but it's like 4AM there at the present time.

Willets Point Aug 10 2021 07:54 PM Re: IGT 08/10 - Nationals at Mets - Back to Business

Well, the Mets didn't lose tonight...

well Botty could've given us that! It's all about the Newburgh Brown! That's the go-to! I'd forgotten I wanted to rave about that but I was tricked by having it at some sort of..what do they call it when they have like the radio music thingy but it's like real people but you're just sitting there with nothing else to do? oh a concert, right. I had two of those at the Hella Mega.

In covered Excelsior seats with good friends whom we missed seeing last year for our annual Tuesday night in August game, the rain delay was almost a bonus. Almost. Somehow TPTB waited for our major 9:30-ish concessions purchase (‘cause, you know, we're gonna be here quite a while once they take the tarp off and continue the game) to call the fucker. That and the rain to stop. Bone dry on Mets Plaza. Ah, Mets. We'll be back for more of this next August, too.
