8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

ashie62 Aug 16 2021 12:37 PM

Rojas was effusive in his praise for the Mets in battling the Dodgers. Oye, they lost them all Luis. Pete Alonso's post game comments after the Phillies series were odd... No Pete, its not on the fans, its on you. Javy Baez hits the IL. Villar sure has a strangehold on SS.

ashie62 Aug 16 2021 05:31 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

The good news is the Giants don't hit very much either.

Taking on Kevin Gausman… CF Nimmo RF Conforto 1B Alonso LF Smith 2B McNeil 3B Davis SS Villar C McCann LHP Hill

San Fran is third in the NL in runs, tied for third in OPS+ and first in homers.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 05:46 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

They also have both Belt and Longoria back from recent injuries. Gausman is a dark horse Cy Young candidate.

I do believe the SFG social media team is trolling us by featuring their first baseman. [tweet]https://twitter.com/sfgiants/status/1427399267812052994[/tweet]

My (then) wife and i lived in the Bay Area from 1998-2013. I really became a fan, especially after the Giants moved from Candlestick to the city. One day, my then 10 and 6 year olds (??) came back from school with "very important news to discuss." After the Giants won 3/5 championships, and all their friends were crazy for Posey, Panda, and that long-bearded closer, they "didn't want to root for the Mets but liked the Giants." It was kinda hard to argue, but I put them up for adoption.

You had no choice.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 08:04 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

I'm definitely rooting for the giants over the dodgers to win the division. They've made lots of admirable stealth moves and built budget friendly competition to the freespending Dodgers when it would be easy not to.that said, their asses badly need 3 whuppins beginning tonight

DocTee Aug 16 2021 08:27 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

I gotta tell ya...that stadium, and that announcing team (Kuiper and Krukow, whom MFS62 once described as 'having a smirk like he just fucked your sister'), and those garlic fries....shit they made it hard not to be a fan. They are the only team I'd consider supporting.....if not for our Mets.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 08:38 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Yeah probably my favorite out of town park... I always say this but nice fans who were totally fun. I'm into the black and orange teams, Orioles and Giants, after The Mets, whom I of course hate-root for these days

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 08:58 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

I'm tending to think the McCann contract may work out a little bit, and he'll be a contributor to good teams. It's hard to be optimistic about anything the last few weeks, but McCann's problems this seasons seem to have been about 80% chasing sliders away against righties. Now that (a) he's laying off a little bit, and (b) sliders have suddenly become less magical following the sticky-ban, he seems to hang in alright against them.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 09:22 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Brandon Nimmo: "Every day, I'm hustlin'."

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 09:25 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Don't look now (seriously, don't). The Mets have an inning building here

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 09:27 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Well, a 2-run triple for Fonso.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 09:28 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

They had an oh-for-37 streak with runners in scoring position in 2001. I feel like that was the streak the one that got the term "noffense" coined at the MOFo. And on that note Alonso ends our current streak with a two-run triple!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 09:30 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Sacky fly for the struggling Dom Smith and the Mets have a lead. Last Mets triple belonged to McKinney

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 09:31 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Worth noting that the spark that lit the fire here was Nimms leading off with the hustle single.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 09:40 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Kris Bryant not cooperating.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 09:40 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

And so Castro promptly gets 2-run homered by Kris Bryant

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 09:44 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

I'm not going to last long enough to see this one end so I'll be sure to be pissed off 1st thing in the morning.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 09:50 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Long live the bunt!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 09:51 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Jay Jackson. Are they really going out with him?

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 09:59 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Mets starting a new oh-for-RISP streak.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 10:05 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Familia vs. Flores is a matchup crying for a double-play.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 10:06 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

But ... not so much.

ashie62 Aug 16 2021 10:14 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

4-3 It can be won.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 10:17 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Louperstar > Yaz.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 10:28 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Belted

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 10:29 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Bryanted. Goddnight

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 10:36 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Crap inning, but some great crowd shots.

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 10:38 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Man, I root for the Mets, but I love Brandon Crawford's game.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 10:43 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Dammit, Villar,I need some rest

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 10:46 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

This Tyler Rogers freak is amazing. He's not pitching so much as bowling.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 11:02 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Alright, I'll watch this half-inning but that's it (9th, down by 2) Alonso, Smith + McNeil vs McGee

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 11:06 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Alonso flies out Smiff whiffs

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 16 2021 11:08 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

McNeil grounds out. . 500

Edgy MD Aug 16 2021 11:09 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Outskanked by the old guys.

ashie62 Aug 16 2021 11:16 PM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

Kris Bryant, all star.

Pretty much did enough to win offensively, but let down by the bullpen

Fman99 Aug 17 2021 07:47 AM Re: 8/16 Mets v Giants Hill v Gausman

What a big bag of shit. Fuck Kris Bryant. He's not on the Cubs any more? I'm so lost.
