IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

David Peterson is getting another start in Taijuan Walker's spot. David could go a long way toward making it his own spot. Mets were home for just six games all season and are now out west. Wait until the schedule turns in the Mets favor. That'll show em!

It's so weird, because we're clearly, unquestionably, the best team in baseball, but yet B-R gives the 6-8, 4 games back Braves an 88% chance to win the division. Pfft. That's some bullshit. Let's squish the Snakes.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 01:06 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Lunchbucket and family are taking this one in from field level, 25 rows up on the third-base side.

Lefty Specialist Apr 22 2022 03:34 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

I'm hoping Buck keeps them focused. After the Giants series it'd be easy to have a letdown.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 04:53 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

A classic piece of baseball wisdom: If you're lucky enough to have a guy named "Marte," be sure to bat him second.

Fman99 Apr 22 2022 04:59 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Man, fuck the 9:40 PM start. I'll be lucky to get 3 innings of this game in. Stupid spherical planet

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 07:47 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Well, that was an ineffectual start.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

But Peterson makes even quicker work of it, getting the side on 10 pitches.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 08:11 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

For some reason, the booth has gone dead for my feed, and I'm getting the game with no announcers.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 08:12 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

I hate late night (WC) starts. At least, it's the weekend. Don't know how long I will last. Let's Go Mets!

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 08:13 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Fifteen up and fifteen down. At this rate, you won't have to hang in there very long.

nymr83 Apr 22 2022 08:27 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

SHIFT THAT!

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 08:28 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Exactly. Is there anything the Mets are doing more effectively and intentionally this year more than beating the shift?

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 08:38 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Waiter, I'd like to order a pop single against the shift to tie it.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 08:42 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Pete really crushed that RBI single.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 08:44 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Robbie swings at the trash.

Gwreck Apr 22 2022 08:47 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Don't think it was coincidental that Gary mentioning the need to cut the roster by 2 players as Cano looks bad striking out.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 08:59 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Gallen has the curve working tonight, in fairness, but Canó looked like he had never seen a curve.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:10 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Ollie Perez in the house. Backs loosen up on the shift this time around with Nimmo and he still cracked it through the left side.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:11 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

And Nimmo goes all Babe Ruth and goes from first to third on a single to left! Barely made it in there.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:13 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Infield is back, Lindy. Squeeze it!

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:15 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Mets take the lead! Mr. Smile has been Mr. Productive Out this evening.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 09:16 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

more aggressive baserunning by the Mets puts runners on second and third with no outs against Ollie Perez.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 09:17 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Nice at bat fro Lindor to bring in the lead run/

Fman99 Apr 22 2022 09:20 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Gutsy baserunning by Nimmo there. I think 90% of the time you're getting gunned down at 3rd on a ball to left. Worked out this time though. Put the pressure on, I dig it.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 09:21 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Pete with another ball crushed to the right side to drive ina run.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:33 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Drew Smith unironically dealing heat.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:44 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

McCann summoning his inner J.D. Davis!!

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 09:50 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

I love that Seth Beer, despite hitting .400, runs like somebody named Seth Beer.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 10:00 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

McNeil ranges back to medium right field to make the catch and end the inning. Marte must have been playing on the warning track.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 10:08 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

That shift against Lindor is so extreme. Just drop a bunt and take the gift base. A decent bunter (I know, I know, almost nonexistent in today's game) could hit .800 against thaat defensive alignment.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:10 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Dom in for defense after Pete makes the last out.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:18 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Uh-oh. Walker pulls it within one, homering on a pitch in on the hands that shouldn't be homered on.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 10:22 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Good pitch by May, even better hitting by walker. 5-4 Mets through 8.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:33 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

If you're still awake, strap in.

Barely awake. I should have gone to bed.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:40 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

An unusual slider from Diaz that had no action. Total hanger.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:45 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Keep in mind that our Pete Alonso, our soft RBI specialist, is out of the game.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:48 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Crappo. Infield out and everything goes wrong.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:50 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

SAFE! SAFE! SAFE! SAFE! SAFE!

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 10:52 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Excellent. Really close, but he was safe.

Gwreck Apr 22 2022 10:53 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Gary praising the replay coordinator, and sure, I agree. But there was approximately a 0% chance that they wouldn't challenge that play…

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 10:53 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Marte hustles and beats out the grounder to third to get the go ahead run. Speed kills.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 10:59 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Lugo trying to save it in the bottom of the 10th.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 11:06 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

OK, down to the last out for a second time.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 11:09 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Ah, fartschool. Winning run on first and Walker back at the plate.

Edgy MD Apr 22 2022 11:10 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

METS WIN!!! Key to the game: Jeff McNeil playing outstanding outfield from second base.

The Hot Corner Apr 22 2022 11:10 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Yay, Mets win!

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 23 2022 12:43 AM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Fun game and post-game fireworks. Lucky on that replay, sucks to be a dback fan but the Mets fans were louder and prouder. McNeil played great. Why did Zimmo disappear? I feel like that messed up Diaz.

Edgy MD Apr 23 2022 07:36 AM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Nimmo appeared to have had a glove issue. I don't know if that messed up Diaz, but it sure seemed like exactly the sort of thing that could take him off his game. Christian Walker's homer off of May was on a really good pitch, but the homer Diaz gave up to Varsho was on the hangingest slider I've ever seen him leave hanging.

Willets Point Apr 23 2022 09:35 AM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

Wow! It was 5-2 in the 8th when I last checked before bed. Glad that the Mets still won.

Gwreck Apr 23 2022 12:42 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

I don't understand. You disagreed with the replay decision? My view was that it was clear he was safe and the call was appropriately overturned. There have been some occasionally baffling replay decisions on tag plays or even some home run calls, but getting the first base force call right on replay is not difficult.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2022 02:12 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

I was asleep by the time that happened so what I saw was via highlights and only once ... but in that viewing it didn't look like close to enough evidence to overturn. And, remember, it's supposed to be definitive evidence not the 51% standard that seems to be used far too often. My point is that I would have bitched about losing a game based on such scanty 'proof' and I suspect most of us here would have done the same had the shoe been on the other foot, especially for the second time in a week.

nymr83 Apr 23 2022 02:41 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

A seemingly overlooked piece of the replay puzzle here is that a tie goes to the runner, and as they replayed that thimg over and over from different angles there was never one that made it look like the ball in the glove beat the foot to the bag. If they got there at the same time, the tie goes to the runner and overuling the call ia correct.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2022 02:55 PM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

There is no rule which states a tie goes to the runner ... despite what most of us learned and used in the schoolyard. And the original call was 'Out', so what the replay has to show is that there is definitive evidence that it should have been the other way around not that you think it kinda sorta was probably the case.

batmagadanleadoff Apr 24 2022 08:07 AM Re: IGT 4/22 Go West David Peterson vs Snakes 9:40 pm

I saw this game. Most of it. I was suddenly overcome by a powerful urge to go to sleep in the middle of the ninth. Which I did. When I woke up the next morning and checked the box scores, I saw that I had missed quite a bit of action and back and forth over a missed inning and a half. But I couldn't figure out, as much as I tried to, how McNeil got on second in the top of the tenth. I finally figured it out after about 10 minutes and several box scores and scoring summaries. I found the answer in a game article. That ghost runner business hasnt sunk in, yet.
