Let's hope the Nats don't go 'nom-nom-nom' on Cookie.

If the Mets weren't going well, I'd worry Buck can't settle on a lineup. Because the Mets are going well, I'm delighted Buck is showing so much flexibility with his personnel. Also delightful: this thread's title.

"Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington" And brings two Mr. Smiths with him.

I've carried a good amount of confidence in our pitching into the first three games. Cookie could really impress me today.

It speaks to Buck's genius at this point.

Nido passing on a bunting opportunity may have undercut a big rally opportunity.

Mark Canha (.819 OBP) puts the Mets ahead with the two-out RBI!

Carrasco cruising since the early speed bump.

I feel like the Mets have already gotten more out of Carrasco this afternoon then they got all last year.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2022 01:35 PM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

Just turned a one-run lead over to Chasen Shreve. We deploying everybody.

Lefty Specialist Apr 10 2022 01:36 PM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

(Golf clap) And Shreve is there to clean up Soto. Everything is coming up Showalter.

This has been a fun series to watch. Not a lot to be disappointed about through 3+ games.

Fumft. Bad play by Petey.

Squeezes are cool.

Lefty Specialist Apr 10 2022 02:22 PM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

Alonso making the case for DH'ing more often.

bmfc1 Apr 10 2022 02:23 PM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

Pete's play today is sick... and not in a "grannie" way.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2022 02:23 PM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

Alonso gets the job done against Soto, though.

ashie62 Apr 10 2022 02:24 PM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

Pete Alonso, the future DH.

The important thing is that Shreve and Williams pitched because they hadn't pitched yet this season.

Turns out Lefty Jr went to the game and was just to the left of the bullpen with a great view of Lindor's home run. He's in the clip from SNY standing up in a white jersey 3 rows back as the ball soars by. [TWEET]https://twitter.com/i/status/1513223676560351242[/TWEET]

Pete should always DH if Dom is also starting. Shouldn't even be an issue. These comments are all of a piece, in that it seems so hard to find a manager who keeps his foot on the gas. I guess there's an argument for a responsible manager using early games to coddle a big hitter's ego, and working in the back end of the bullpen even when the game is tight, but that argument doesn't do any good when both choices burn you. Of course, no manager kept his foot on the gas like Willie Randolph, and he just blew out his engine by the end of the season. Jerry did too. But it can't be that hard to find a happy medium between using your "eighth-inning guy" every day until his arm falls off on one hand, and working in your backenders in the tightest of spots when the frontenders should still be fresh. A sweep could have gone a long way toward taking Washington out early.

In fairness to Trevor Williams, he wound up facing seven hitters and the worst marks against him were two ground ball singles. I was sure off the bat that the Cruz bouncer which produced the final two runs was going to be the end of the inning with the game merely tied, but the IF was shifted just enough to the pull side to put it out of Lindor's reach. In between is where it got ugly, mainly that he got three grounders (one a bunt) to 1B which should have produced three outs, could even have produced four, but instead netted just one. The killer inning on the other side was the 7th: 1st & 2nd w/none out and the top of the order up (Nimmo, Lindor, Cano) and the result was K, FO, K with both Ks on three pitches.

Lefty Specialist Apr 11 2022 05:33 AM Re: IGT April 10, 2022. Mr. Cookie Goes to Washington

Yeah, the problem wasn't really Williams. Crisp defense and it's a whole different inning.
