IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

bmfc1 Sep 09 2021 11:31 AM

Have we discussed the hole in the fence that prevented Pete from hitting a triple rather than a ground-rule double yesterday? The damn place is indoors so why is that hole there (stop thinking what you're thinking, I'm talking about baseball here!)? Has no one ever hit a ball to that spot in the inglorious history of that ballpark or do they not care? https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-marlins/2021/09/09/632536#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=632536 Luzardo sucks but anyone has the potential of pitching a great game against the Mets. He gave up 3 ER in 5 IP but got the win in NY on 8/2 (Pete homered). Marcus has started twice against Team Complain but the last one was in May. METS: 1. Francisco Lindor (S) SS 2. Pete Alonso (R) 1B 3. Javier Baez (R) 2B 4. J.D. Davis (R) 3B 5. Michael Conforto (L) RF 6. Kevin Pillar (R) CF 7. Dominic Smith (L) LF 8. James McCann (R) C 9. Marcus Stroman (R) P Marlins: 1. Miguel Rojas (R) SS 2. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (L) 2B 3. Bryan De La Cruz (R) LF 4. Jesus Sanchez (L) RF 5. Lewin Diaz (L) 1B 6. Sandy Leon (S) C 7. Isan Diaz (L) 3B 8. Magneuris Sierra (L) CF 9. Jesus Luzardo (L) P

Luzardo's got some stuff. Looks like a guy you've got to force to throw strikes.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2021 04:52 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Man, Baez is a creative ballplayer. Enough to drive you crazy, but that run was all him.

Apart from a lone Puerto Rican, we've got an all-foreign-born lineup for Miami: 1. Miguel Rojas, ss — Venezuela 2. Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2b — The Bahamas 3. Bryan De La Cruz, lf — The Dominican Republic 4. Jesus Sanchez, rf — The Dominican Republic 5. Lewin Diaz, 1b — The Dominican Republic 6. Sandy Leon, c — Venezuela 7. Isan Diaz, 3b — Puerto Rico 8. Magneuris Sierra, cf — The Dominican Republic 9. Jesus Luzardo, p — Perú

Well, that ball got destroyed.

Baez 2 - Marlins 0

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 06:02 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Stroman seems like he should be a better hitter than he actually is.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 06:04 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

The Mets have 13 hits thru the first 24 innings in this series.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2021 06:17 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Baez is trying to okie-doke for the cycle.

2-sniffle half way through six. Why does it feel like we're losing?

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 06:46 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

So with Jazz and Pop already in the game tonight, the Marlins now add a Bass to the mix. Where are John Rocker and Rich Folkers?

You're just jumping ahead to the ending.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 07:10 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Four of the six Marlins hits this game have failed to leave the infield.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 09 2021 07:12 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Worst Hand job ever

The Hot Corner Sep 09 2021 07:12 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

my first time seeing Hand this season, he looks totally lost. He appears to have no idea where the ball is going. Then he fields that dribbler and throws wide left allowing the tying run to score. This team is making far too many errors (mental & physical).

bmfc1 Sep 09 2021 07:13 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Hand had trouble throwing to two of the four bases that inning.

Tribooms are the best. They're baseball with cream on top.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 07:16 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Three shots to get the run in ... so I'm figuring weve got about a 5% chance.

The Hot Corner Sep 09 2021 07:16 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Pete leads off with a triple off the wall in right field. Hopefully, the Mets can get him home.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2021 07:18 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Mebbe the Mets should have pinch run for Alonso there.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2021 07:19 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Now that the Marlins switched to the lefty, the Mets should call up Drury and have him pinch-hit for McNeil.

The Hot Corner Sep 09 2021 07:20 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

If Rojas had used McNeil to pinch hit for Davis, the Marlins would not have been able to counter and change pitchers since Bender had to face his third hitter. Makes no sense to me.

bmfc1 Sep 09 2021 07:23 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Once Pete's ball hit the fence that ended the Mets chances for scoring.

The Hot Corner Sep 09 2021 07:23 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

and 3 weak ground balls and Pete is stranded.

What a brutal sequence to leave Pete dangling there at 3rd, the Piss Missile stuck in the dock.

Shades of the 2008 collapse right there, the famous Muffy leadoff triple

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 07:27 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Let's see how many runs the Marlins can score this inning without a ball leaving the infield.

Well at least Dom and the lower third is up ... and Dom has looked awful all night

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 09 2021 07:36 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

This game: http://ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=7552&tabno=D We blew a big lead to the Cubs whom already clinched a spot and had nothing to play for, while we could barely afford to lose. Tied in the bottom of the 9th, Muffy had an insane triple to lead off the inning only to get left there, we lose in 10. That game devastated my entire faith and I was never the same again. Also last time I ever went to Shea. 💔

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2021 07:37 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

An 0/4 including thee Ks for Dom and I think it all came on 10 pitches.

bmfc1 Sep 09 2021 07:39 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

If Luis PH for McCann last night against a righty, why isn't he doing it tonight? His moves have no consistency or logic. Then McCann swings at ball four. What a sack of shit he is.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2021 07:41 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

Well, putting Davis and Smith back in the lineup didn't help.

From the 4th thru 9th innings the Mets got ONE ball out of the infield-- Pete's triple.

28 innings vs Miami pitching: 14 hits Two were HRs, both were, of course, solos.

The Hot Corner Sep 09 2021 07:55 PM Re: IGT 9/9/2021: NYM @ MIA: It's Still Better Than Watching Football

This team strikes out far too often. I was truthfully expecting 3 strike outs to strand Pete after his triple, instead of 3 weak ground outs.
