IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

kcmets Aug 11 2021 08:40 AM

Game will resume at 4:10 this afternoon. Mets are down 3-1 and the Nationals are batting in the top of the second with no outs and a man on first. No idea if Carasco will continue to pitch. An 'Excessive Heat Warning' will be in effect come game time and there is a 30% chance of thunderstorms. Orignal In-Game Thread is Here

Excessive Heat + Thunderstorms is generally a dangerous recipe. Do the teams get their extra dude for the roster?

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 11 2021 09:22 AM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

How come this is a suspended game? I always thought that if the rains came prior to the finish of the fifth inning it was considered a rain out, the stats were wiped out, and the game rescheduled and started fresh. Was there a rule change on this?

Edgy MD Aug 11 2021 09:33 AM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Yup. Continuity is the rule.

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 11 2021 10:10 AM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I missed that! Thanks!

I'll say it again-- we were on our way to victory last night before the weather interrupted. Zimmo, Alonso and Smith all hit the ball hard and that was that. I dunno who pitches now, will probably get all Yenssy again.

Edgy MD Aug 11 2021 10:37 AM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Are these two games single admission or double? Because I can imagine the weather/last-minute rescheduling/weekday afternoon factors might lead to a crowd of about 75 peeps if they aren't willing to admit folks with a ticket to the later game early.

kcmets Aug 11 2021 11:21 AM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Need a ticket for today's game to get in.

I don't understand the thought process behind burning Carrasco with that downpour coming. Not that he was any good anyway.

Managerial incompetence is high on my list of suspects. They were building arks in NJ at 6:40.

I hope you edited out the part where none of us could remember who wears #20 right now.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 11 2021 12:02 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I think it might be Alonso

Ceetar Aug 11 2021 12:25 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

It's a shame there's not a site devoted to uniform numbers where we could've had it loaded up.

bmfc1 Aug 11 2021 02:13 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Ed Coleman subbing for Howie is like Jared Eickhoff starting instead of Jake.

bmfc1 Aug 11 2021 02:16 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

So within the same game, Dom got thrown out on the bases and misplayed a flyball. Good thing he's crushing the ball. And now McNeil boots an easy play. Awful D on a team with awful O.

least Ed seems to know what's going on. Gary's replacement had no clue.

Well, we got a couple of innings of Rich Hill followed by one of poor Hill.

bmfc1 Aug 11 2021 03:40 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Luis left Hill in too long. Once he walked the leadoff hitter he was done but that cheap hit was followed by the solid hit and now the Mets are losing again. Luis has no feel for pitching changes. The Mets are playing a AAA-level team (plus a superstar) and have given up 7 runs in 4+ innings.

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2021 04:04 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

McNeil, surprised at being sent ... but not as surprised as the Nats.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 11 2021 04:18 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Gotta win this one. Javy to PH here

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2021 04:18 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

And because Baez is a PH, this does NOT count as a mound visit!!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 11 2021 04:19 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

And he goes on 3 pitches

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2021 04:23 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

The third of which was closer to the 1st base dugout than the plate. Good thing the Nats delayed the game an extra two minutes to come up with that strategy. No way they could have known how to pitch him otherwise. 2:15 just to get to the 7th inning ... and they started in the 2nd!

I'm surprised that he didn't hurt his back more while swinging at a pitch two feet outside.

but keeping trying to steal Villar.

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2021 04:35 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I think Klobositis is one of the side effects of Covid Pete needs to vaccinate a pitch here.

Edgy MD Aug 11 2021 04:35 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I'm not sure it's Villar's aggressiveness (or even necessarily aggressiveness) that has been the major factor. But hopefully Pete can do his baserunning in a trot.

Edgy MD Aug 11 2021 04:37 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I'll take Nimmo scoring from first on a double as an expression of good baserunning.

bmfc1 Aug 11 2021 04:41 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Did you notice the new hand motion by Pete in this game? The Mets sure pay a lot of attention to hand motions and dugout celebrations.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 11 2021 04:46 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

Leave another on with 1 out

bmfc1 Aug 11 2021 04:46 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

The tying run on 2d, minor league pitcher on the mound, Dom and Conforto do nothing.

They didn't do nothing, they both hit really high pop-ups.

The Mets sure pay a lot of attention to hand motions and dugout celebrations. So do all teams, it's rampant in baseball. It is but they're on at least the 3d iteration of hand motions. Try winning and we can point a "we're number one" finger in the air (instead of the finger that the fans have been using of late).

kcmets Aug 11 2021 04:52 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I get it.

kcmets Aug 11 2021 04:52 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I still get annoyed when basketball players all have to touch each others hands after every free throw... made or missed.

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2021 04:55 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

That was Pete's hand signal for, 'Yay, I'm no longer oh for my last 25'

Leadoff double for JDD. Brace yourselves

bmfc1 Aug 11 2021 05:01 PM Re: IGT 08/11- Nationals at Mets - Back to Business (con't)

I thought that Villar deeked them by slowing down but they did that on their own.

OK Edwin, this is our first lead in like 62 days. Not just our first 9th inning lead but the first one of any kind since I can't remember when. Please don't blow it.

I swear they have held the lead for like 18 minutes for all of August.
