IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS

Edgy MD May 09 2022 09:26 PM

The Mets return to the place where the 2022 season began, hopefully with far less inclement weather than last time. Forecast calls for a springy warming trend. This matchup features Patrick Corbin, who the Mets tagged for two runs in four innings on opening day, sending him skidding toward a line that currently reads at 0-5, 7.16. That's certainly not ideal, but it's a safe conclusion that he's better than that. His last loss was an eight inning complete game in Colorado. Look for a Canha and a Davis in the lineup, and possibly a Guillorme, who seems to get starts against lefties. Alonso and Davis each have four homers against the guy, in 32 and 30 at-bats, respectively. Corbin hails from Clay, NY, the most densely populated suburb of Syracuse. The Mets counter with TBD, who is probably going to look like Carrasco or Walker or Megill. The rainouts have given Buck Showalter a chance to reshuffle his hand, so we'll see.

My new residence is actually also in the town of Clay, though Corbin attended Cicero-North Syracuse High School and not the high school (Liverpool) that my kids attend. CNS vs Liverpool is one of the big rivalries locally as both districts are quite populous (I think each school graduates 600-800 kids per year), compared to other smaller suburban districts. It was a big deal when my son's volleyball team beat CNS HS for the sectional volleyball championship this past winter as it had been 15+ years since that had happened. In other news, the three pitchers' lines for Washington this week: Today: Corbin (0-5, 7.16 ERA) Tomorrow: Sanchez (1-2, 8.56) Thurs: Adon (1-5, 6.99)

Edgy MD May 10 2022 07:08 AM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

The Nats' 10-20 record is something of a reciprocal to the Mets' 20-10.

bmfc1 May 10 2022 07:49 AM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

If it's Carrasco tonight, he has given up 5 HR's to Cruz. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/31313/teamId/21 Yadiel Hernandez is WSH's hottest hitter. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40822 Pete and JD each have 4 bombs against Corbin who has pitched better since changing C's to Riley Adams. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/31313/teamId/21 I will be in Section 115 tonight.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 08:05 AM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Cruz appears to be playing for his big league life right now. The next time these two teams match up, his name could be Robinson Canó.

ashie62 May 10 2022 08:16 AM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Our friendly little gascan Patrick Corbin takes the hill tonight against Cookie. Corbin has only allowed one HR so far this season but... TEE TIME!

I like our lineup. I don;t mean this one any more than others, but the fact that we have a good solid major leaguer in every slot, even at C, sorta

Edgy MD May 10 2022 02:15 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

I'm hoping getting dropped to the bottom of the lineup adds the same terrifying fire to Eduardo Escobar's game that it has added to McNeil's.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 05:24 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Carrasco cruising through two. Booth says Nats have two of the skinniest guys in baseball.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:15 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Zimmo made a nice play to start the tag out at the plate

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:16 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Quick cut off of a ball druven deep in the gap, kept the damage to 1 run

Frayed Knot May 10 2022 06:16 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Nice cut off by Nimmo + good relay easily cuts down the second run at the plate.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:21 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Also excellent relay from McNutty, he was out by 8 feet

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:26 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

And both guys walk to threaten here with 1 out in the 5th

Edgy MD May 10 2022 06:27 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

What happened to Alcides Escobar? Did Dave Martinez make a last-minute change?

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:42 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Carl Edwards Jr., who I didn't know was a National, wearing no. 58. He wore 6 with the Cubs. I think they said Esco was a late scratch, not sure why

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:44 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Davis finally has a hit. 1st + 2nd, 0 out

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:47 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Marte aggressively hacks himself out after being up 2-0

Edgy MD May 10 2022 06:48 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Good time for Sexscobar to find himself.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:50 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Escobar avoids making an out and they're loaded for McNee

Edgy MD May 10 2022 06:51 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Let's turn this game around, Freeman.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 06:53 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Heavy into Jeff. Too fast for Bell to glove cleanly, 2 score, we're tied

Edgy MD May 10 2022 06:56 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Infield in was a questionable move against McCannicle.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 06:57 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Shouldn't they have thrown to third and gone for McNeil for the third out?

Edgy MD May 10 2022 07:01 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

McCannister in line to add to his GWRBI total.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 10 2022 07:06 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

It's insane enough that McNeil is our best hitter this year but he might also be our best defender too. Now that's shocking

Good game so far. Liked seeing McNeil and McCann with the key hit (error?) and sac fly.

Cesar Hernandez hoped he'd draw a pitcher he could hit. Instead, he drew Smith.

Joely gets to pitch to Soto. Biggest Met moment so far for Joely Bean.

Frayed Knot May 10 2022 07:51 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Not sure I like Joely in place of Dr. Smith here. Buck may be overplaying the R/L angle.

Frayed Knot May 10 2022 07:52 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

And Joely puts up a one pitch F U to F K

Edgy MD May 10 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Way to go down on one pitch, Sotito.

Lefty Specialist May 10 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Soto just stood there for a really long time contemplating his foul out on one pitch.

Frayed Knot May 10 2022 07:55 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

And now I'm tempted to let Joely pitch the 9th ... especially because the Mets will be up by seven runs by then.

Great read by Lindor as that throw home was only slightly over the 1B's glove.

Fman99 May 10 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Sharp baserunning there by Lindor to get to 2B on the missed cutoff throw by Soto.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 08:01 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

If the Mets get this game, the Nats defense might have to be credited with the loss.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 08:02 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

Bases bloated and no out. I'd be tempted to use one of the three lefties on the bench, but I like how Davis is swinging.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 08:03 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38

I'd also be tempted to pinch-run Jankowski at third.

Edgy MD May 10 2022 08:05 PM Re: IGT 05/10, NYM@WAS Game #38
