Walker vs. Adon in a getaway matinee that we hope doesn't get away. Nimmo CF Marte RF Lindor SS Alonso 1B McNeil 2B Canha LF J.D. Davis DH Guillorme 3B Nido C

Edgy MD May 12 2022 08:44 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Can't get Jankowski into the lineup. Can't get Guillorme out.

"He'll be fine, should be back in there Friday night. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning and he's expected to make a full recovery for 2023."

"He'll be fine, should be back in there Friday night. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning and he's expected to make a full recovery for 2023." No, it's more like "he's resting it for a few weeks" which turns into "it'll get better in the offseason" which turns into "a slow start to spring training but we're taking it easy" which turns into "surgery in May 2023 and hopefully we'll see him in February."

I am hopeful Taijuan can have a decent outing today. It is far too early into the season to have him and Megill become ineffective. Pat Mazeika may be back up in short order.

seawolf17 May 12 2022 11:31 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

If they're going to walk the ballpark, you gotta cash in, especially early. Nice hit by Canha in a big spot. 2-0 good guys.

roger_that May 12 2022 11:32 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Kinda wish Buck would figure out if McNeil belongs at the top of the lineup, or Marte does, and stick with it. I don't get the rationale for all this constant flipflopping.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 11:37 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Good top of 1 No way does this team lose after jumping out to a multiple run lead. ... oh, wait

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 11:39 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Buck is bunting w/Nido almost every time in potential GiDP situations. Probably over-doing it IMHO

Edgy MD May 12 2022 11:54 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Yeah, but we're also over-doing grounding into double-plays.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 12 2022 11:58 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

We really are

Lefty Specialist May 12 2022 12:04 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Walker looking pretty uncomfortable, but he's getting outs on not a lot of pitches. Wearing a heating pad between innings, so I wouldn't expect a long outing here.

No doubt, but I don't think a pre-emptive/every time policy is going on. A good general principle is to take what you're given — bunt when the fielders are back, and swing when they're in. That's overbroad (and over-pre-emptive), but it works terrifically, especially now that pitchers aren't hitting. Double plays are the worst.

Edgy MD May 12 2022 12:11 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

And a double-play screws over the Mets just as I type that.

Well, Nido is an RBI king now.

When was the last time you saw two tag outs at 3B on the same play?

Fman99 May 12 2022 12:28 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Listening only, as I am at work today, but apparently the Nats just made two outs at 3rd on the same play? Dopes.

Soto on 2nd, grounder to Guillorme (3B), Soto goes anyway and is caught in rundown. Batter (Bell) advances to 2nd while thrown trying to get him goes into RF He gets up and heads to 3rd but Marte was backing up and his throw to 3B nailed Bell by about 35 feet oe: or just see what DiComo tweeted

86dreamer May 12 2022 12:33 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

what was Soto griping to ump about there?

That the guy he slid into is like 6' 13" and was too hard to move?

Edgy MD May 12 2022 12:38 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Yeah and why did Dave Martinez ask to pause and check the replay? There wasn't anything like interference.

Edgy MD wrote: Yeah and why did Dave Martinez ask to pause and check the replay? There wasn't anything like interference. I suspect they were checking the tape searching for evidence that any one of the half-dozen Mets near 3rd Might have been possibly maybe been in the way of Either runner. And I think you know I (and you) stand on those kinds of preemptive search attempts.

Edgy MD May 12 2022 12:50 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

We need to work "preemptive" into this thread more. Interesting to see Carl's Jr. back.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 12:50 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

btw, anyone catch Gary's inning ending call about two innings ago? Fly to left ... Canha ... [catch made] ... corn

Gwreck May 12 2022 12:54 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

This view is great. https://twitter.com/snytv/status/1524820537842843649?s=21 No, Juan, you don't get to go to third.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 01:15 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

And just when you thought it would be a short outing for the tall man, he goes seven on a low pitch count.

Edgy MD May 12 2022 01:16 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

I really thought Walker wouldn't last much longer after that groin-kick or whatever, but here he is cruising through seven.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 01:26 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Only four hits for the visiting squad. Would have been nice if they cashed in more of those early opportunities.

Edgy MD May 12 2022 01:33 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Eleven pitches (nine strikes) for Lugo. I hereby call for him to come out in the ninth.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 01:35 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

That one wasn't a Canha corn!

Edgy MD May 12 2022 01:40 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

All the more reason for sticking with Lou.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 01:47 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

But Buck decided that Lou had to go.

Fman99 May 12 2022 01:48 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

I have a 4 pm work call so I am hoping Diaz can get these last 2 outs here before then.

Frayed Knot May 12 2022 01:51 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

A Juan Solo

Edgy MD May 12 2022 01:52 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Well, Fman can make his call. Silly to deploy Diaz, but in this world, "dry humping" is somehow worse.

Fman99 May 12 2022 01:56 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooks! And six minutes to spare before my late afternoon meating.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 12 2022 02:14 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

another TCOB kinda win. It seemed like we hardly ever had a TCOB Win* last season. *-Games in which you do enough to beat the other team convincingly but not overwhelmingly. You may make a few mistakes but on balance the quality of your play was better than the opponents to the point at which, after 9 innings, a winning outcome, without a lot of sweat or squirts, is the "right" result.

G-Fafif May 12 2022 02:25 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

Also a TCBY Win*. *-Games after which the manager takes the team out for frozen yogurt, toppings included.

Edgy MD May 12 2022 02:35 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

What a day for day win! Watching Nationals just self-destroy And I'm digging my day win! Chowing down on my chili and soy And even if we didn't whoop their hide A win's a win, and that's a win for our side And even if Soto got a late homerun My mind's on Kelenic and Justin Dunn!

Lefty Specialist May 12 2022 03:58 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

So I'm thinking that Walker should pitch with a cranky back all the time.

Edgy MD May 12 2022 04:18 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2022: NYM@WSH — What a Day for a Day Win

I think we should pre-emptively establish that.

This one was even stranger as it involved two separate plays/throws to 3rd, one that came from close range and one that came from RF.

With the first runner, now out, just sitting there petulantly in baseline blocking the second runner. And the two tagouts at third being made by the pitcher and the shortstop.

Having seen the "double play" I feel that the only time I've seen that before is when playing my son at MLB The Show. I'm terrible with the baserunning controls.
