Cano is getting every chance to stay on the roster but I'd rather see Dom in the lineup.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 02:42 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

FreeDom!!!

Fman99 Apr 25 2022 06:11 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

What the hell is a 7:45 PM start? I assumed it was 8:10 and missed the first inning and a half. Stupid Cardinals.

Lefty Specialist Apr 25 2022 06:44 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Cano doggedly continuing to make his case for being cut on May 1.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 06:44 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Well we're scoreless through three and a half. Two hits for the Mets, and one for the Birds. Canó just ended the Mets' half of the inning with an egg popup to the pitcher.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 06:48 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Strange to see that only two guys in this Cardinal lineup have been hitting so far. They're in first place.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 06:54 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Cano really sucks

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 06:58 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Gary was waxing poetically at length about how muscular Tyler O'Neill is, and then Tyler took his hat off and Mrs. Edgy said, "He looks like a tool." I pulled a muscle in my back earlier in the day, and I think that when I'm in pain, she expresses her sympathies by dissing other men, but his hair is pretty goofy.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 07:04 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Gary, Ronnie, I.M. Pei (and a couple of associates) didn't design the Louvre. They designed an underground complex and a glass pyramid extension of the Louvre. The Louvre goes back to 1793. I know you dudes are Ivy Leaguers and shit, but come on, now.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 07:21 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

McNeil's unflappable popup skills are a revelation to me.

Lefty Specialist Apr 25 2022 07:22 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Eero Saarinen designed the Arch. This Scherzer guy is pretty good.

Lefty Specialist Apr 25 2022 07:23 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 25 2022 07:25 PM

Fun fact: Eero Saarinen is also a better hitter than Robinson Cano. And he died in 1961.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 07:24 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Enough laying in weight, Mets. Let's strike! Maybe after Canó.

Lefty Specialist Apr 25 2022 07:28 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

They're right about the top of the Arch being claustrophobic. It's a very weird place.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Carlson almost got the infield hit there but was too tuckered out.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 07:42 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Scherz is pretty good 👍

Gwreck Apr 25 2022 07:43 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Thought these sorts of offense-gone-quiet games only happened to deGrom.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 07:44 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Max Scherzer is the architect of a two-hitter through seven. It's not the electricity of watching deGrom getting people on fastballs upstairs or sliders diving out of the strikezone, but there's something brutally relentless about it.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2022 07:45 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Shouldn't Genesis Cabrera be a starter?

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 07:48 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

The Cards rave about his invisible touch. Hopefully the switchies and righties can touch him up.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 07:57 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

How do you not run for Molina here?

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 08:00 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Jeez McNeil is playing good d this year. You just can't predict baseball, Suzyn.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 08:02 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Gwreck Apr 25 2022 08:04 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

I'm really fine with reducing May's high leverage situations. Welcome to the 8th inning role, Drew Smith.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:06 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Goin' after Goldie was playing with the fire, Suzyn. Sticking with him after the walk was also kind of questionable.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2022 08:06 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Five batters faced, one retired.

First-pitch swinging, Pete? Come on.

Redemption opp for Robinson Canó.

Gwreck Apr 25 2022 08:16 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

I'd like to pinch hit Smith for Cano.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2022 08:16 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Assuming that Gary is pronouncing StL backup catcher Andrew Knizner correctly as Kiz-Ner, it's not usual to see a Kn--- word where the N is the silent letter.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:20 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

I hate fatalism, but who else was rooting for Canny to just not GiDP?

Marshmallowmilkshake Apr 25 2022 08:26 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

I had to turn off the game for a little bit after the May incident. Back now. Didn't expect Arenado to toss that one away.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:26 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Well, I wasn't banking on Arrenado's defense keeping us alive.

Gwreck Apr 25 2022 08:27 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Could really use a hit, Jeff.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2022 08:27 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 25 2022 08:28 PM

Arenado always throws that way Ronnie. oe: not wild but on the run like that, especially when going towards the line

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:28 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Still got Smitty to pinch-hit for Nido if needed.

Man, I was simultaneously (a) rooting for Jankowski to attempt to score, and (b) kinda certain he was a dead duck.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:30 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Rooting for a bouncing curveball to get away from Knizner.

If Gallegos gets off the mound like he's supposed to, this game is over. Let's remember this guy.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2022 08:37 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

My feed was late in coming back from commercial and they only caught Nimmo's HR in mid flight and without sound. I thought it was some previous NYM/STL highlight until Gary's voice kicked as the ball was landing.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 08:38 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Same on sny

seawolf17 Apr 25 2022 08:39 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

For what it's worth, my SNY app went dark during the pitching change and still isn't back, so I'm following on espn.com now. Thanks for nothing, technology.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 08:39 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

It just occurred to me that Diaz could easily turn this back into Met nightmare

seawolf17 Apr 25 2022 08:41 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

No. Diaz is lights-out. He's got this.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:42 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Interesting to look at all the shell-shocked faces in the Cardinal dugout and see Matz' face. (He should have been the pinch-runner for Yadi.)

Perhaps he does. I was just kinda saying were this game to hurl a karmic boomarang at us, Diaz is the guy to be pitching when it happens

That game was effectively wild.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2022 08:48 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

SNY booth sound dissapears but it doesn't matter. Network execs have a new game to add to the Mets Classics rotation.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 08:48 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Gary's working too hard to put the goat horns on Nolie. Gallegos has to own this. Smith hustled and he snoozed.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 09:06 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

The lack of PT seemed to have affected Dommie's focus and engagement. They HAVE to put him in tomorrow's lineup tomorrow against Hicks.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2022 09:24 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

I'm certainly not giving him any beer, but credit to May for sacking up and getting those last two outs after his initial exit strategy fell apart.

Centerfield Apr 25 2022 09:25 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Can't remember the last time I felt this good about the Mets.

G-Fafif Apr 25 2022 09:43 PM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

Both a wonderful Mets win and a horrific Cardinals loss. Who could ask for anything more?

=Centerfield post_id=90366 time=1650943538 user_id=65] Can't remember the last time I felt this good about the Mets.

Maybe 7 years ago tonight? Mets had an early 10 game win streak. Lost a game, but then Harvey pitching against the Yankees goes 8 2/3 in a dominant performance. Mets win and go to 14-4.

Edgy MD wrote: I'm certainly not giving him any beer, but credit to May for sacking up and getting those last two outs after his initial exit strategy fell apart. Yeah. The fact that a bad inning was saved from being a catastrophic one turned out to matter greatly.

Fman99 Apr 26 2022 03:49 AM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

What an ending, holy cow. I went to bed when it was 2-0 and checked in on my tablet, in bed, and did happen to see the Dom Smith hit. So there you go.

Lefty Specialist Apr 26 2022 05:42 AM Re: IGT 04/25 - NYM @ STL

I was in bed and rolled over when May gave up the two runs. The Missus elbows me in the ribs when Arenado throws it away. (Having been at Game 6 in 1986, she tends to stick with games longer than I do.) So we watched the rest of it unfold in rapt wonder. A real LFGM game.
