IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Rich Hill 6-6 3.92 Sandy Alcantara 8-13 3.36 When you score more runs than the other team, the wins take care of themselves. Later

Win this one, and five years from now I might even remember that Rich Hill was a Met.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2021 09:46 AM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Hill was more than decent last time around, but he also has socks older than Alcantara and this is one where the pitching matchup is decidedly against us. At least on paper it is although, last time I checked anyway, they'll not be playing tonight's game on paper.

Hill's got skills.

I've seen bigger crowds at the Orange Junius stand in Penn Station.

Stealing with two out and Pete at the plate??

Down 1-0 end of 6th At this time last night I think we were still in the 3rd inning

Moving along fast, not going how I drew it up in my mind...

They keep replaying Jeter's shovel pass down here, and I keep thinking "Giambi was safe!" You'd almost think the fuckin' guy owned the team or something.

What a great cutoff by McNeil.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 08 2021 06:39 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

McCann.

bmfc1 Sep 08 2021 06:39 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

The worst. There are so many reasons to "part ways" with Sandy and McCann is one of them.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 06:43 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Familia has really become a double-play machine.

Who'd have guessed that everybody was right in the 19th century when they were positioning the second baseman right next to second?

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 07:04 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Good for Mattingly for letting Alcantara do what he do.

Chad ochoseis Sep 08 2021 07:05 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

2 hours and we're in the 9th. Can't remember the last time I've seen that happen.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 07:10 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

O-and-2 is a great running count.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 07:11 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

But we go down chasing the back-foot slider.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 08 2021 07:14 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Alcantara is pretty good tonight

The Yanx/Jays, meanwhile, are 2 hours+ into their game and are in the top of the 5th. NYY starter Luis Gil took 91 pitches just to get thru 3.1 innings, walking 7 in the process. 3-0 Jays bottom 5

Don't like how this is shaping up.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 07:21 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Mets pitchers getting squeezed and squeezed the last few innings.

Fman99 Sep 08 2021 07:23 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Like Rudy Stein, Panik up there hacking on 3-0.

It's Joe Panik, Seth. Underhand it.

Whew! One thing I'll say for McCannister is that Mets pitchers aren't afraid to bounce curves with a runner on third.

Fair ball, right? But it's MIA TV so there are probably fewer cameras than at CF.

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2021 07:32 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

THAT'S A FAIR BALL!!!!! Don't think it'll be overturned though.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 08 2021 07:35 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Yeah that's another drawback of replay.

Edgy MD Sep 08 2021 07:36 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Gun to my head, I'd say that ball was fair, but I couldn't have possibly claimed to have enough info to overturn.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 08 2021 07:39 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Plus it would introduce a whole theoretical debate about where to place the baserunning, it would be bullshit, and Diaz would give that run back anyhow

What a strange year for McCann. He's batted eighth and seventh, he's batted third and fourth, and how he's been pinch-hit for by the figurative last guy on the bench with the game on the line.

Lindor/Baez/Alonso/Conforto/McNeil/McCann, but how can you compete with a lineup of superstars like MIA (who didn't even have Augilar)?

86dreamer Sep 08 2021 07:58 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Rojas is a maroon And why is Almora turning and playing off the wall instead of making a jump for it?

Fman99 Sep 08 2021 08:02 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Keith said right before it happened, he wanted no part of de la Cruz. I agreed right then and there.

The opposite is also true.

The (non) move bugged me too, although not as much as 4 hits (over 10 innings) and 15 Ks while failing to get our own Manfred Man runner in.

This got to me too. He has almost no chance to catch that ball, but no excuse for quitting on it.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 09:55 AM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

I don't think he quit so much as reverted to instinct. Realizing he wasn't going to catch up to it he set himself up for the best rebound only to belatedly remember that a quick relay in wasn't going to do him any good.

roger_that Sep 09 2021 10:16 AM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Agee would have caught it.

batmagadanleadoff Sep 09 2021 10:34 AM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Or, you know, maybe he just fucking knew that the ball would hit the top of the outfield wall because he's been playing baseball since he was a little kid.

Fman99 Sep 09 2021 12:09 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

We watched Almora play a lot of stellar CF up here in the 'Cuse this summer. I think if he had a chance on that ball he would have been in position.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 01:02 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

My point was that he seemed to pull up at the end and played it off the wall as if by instinct and then, after getting the carom, immediately realized that of course he had no play. I don't think he could have caught that ball no matter what he did, but he had this kind of 'Oh shit' body language as he turned as he realized that his instincts didn't serve him well there.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2021 01:23 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Of course, the real "Oh shit" belongs to the manager who let his pitcher pitch to him, and the pitcher who left that pitch over the plate. It didn't hit off the top of the wall, but the middle. He seemingly had a chance if stayed full bore on the ball, but even had he made the unlikely grab, he would have had to survive a heckuva collision, so there's only so much lamenting I can do. Jump ahead to 1:20 to see the hit. [YOUTUBE]zOJxk0RyVQI?t=83[/YOUTUBE]

roger_that Sep 09 2021 04:33 PM Re: IGT 09/08 NYM@MIA Twice is a Blue Moon

Ya kinda want to see a full-body extension leap there, don't ya? Unless you're thinking, "Well, the season is shot anyway, I could get hurt, it's entirely possible I wouldn't catch it anyway, and they ain't paying me enough for this shit." You know, sorta like us here. Can't blame him, but staying on his feet is a big sign reading "2021 Season is OVER, people. Stop kidding yourself." Yes, I know how to read.
