Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

Lefty Robbie Ray opposes Carlos Carrasco with the series streak on the line--plus our 3rd attempt to clear 2021's high-water mark. 1:40 start on sny. Overcast but no rain expected.

Pleased to find there's another weirdo out there who remembers the odd pronunciation of Seattle from one of Greg's bitches [YOUTUBE]a_33Rm62qvU[/YOUTUBE] Dunno why that one is age restricted but worth the click if you like this one: [YOUTUBE]k06iZvYiBOU[/YOUTUBE]

From the Mets: RHP Tylor Megill has been placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to May 12, with right biceps inflammation. He will undergo an MRI today.   RHP Colin Holderman has been selected from Triple-A…He will wear #35.   RHP Trevor May has been transferred to the 60-Day IL.

G-Fafif May 15 2022 10:54 AM Re: Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

Anyway, Holderman is up and Megill is IL'd.

Gotta at least think about moving Dom for pitching

Edgy MD May 15 2022 11:36 AM Re: Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

I think I always thought that Greg's girlfriend was raised in a Suquamish indigenous community and she was pronouncing Seattle right and we were the idiots.

Edgy MD May 15 2022 11:55 AM Re: Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

Lindor opens the scoring with a definitive pronunciation of "Seattle."

Damn, with two outs, I'd've sent Nido. But the middle of the lineup coming up.

Nice knock for Davis there

I was just about to say that this would be a great time for JDD to bust out vs LHP I like 2-run triples.

JD to my eyes has been hammering it for some time, maybe not with the results you would like. Smith's biggest hit this year has been an infield dribbler. I'm selling $DOM, buying $JDD

It's the inning of two-run triples to right! If you haven't yet had a two-run triple to right, please step up and collect your triple.

Marshmallowmilkshake May 15 2022 01:07 PM Re: Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

That hit--those hits--two outs, with it looking like they were going to squander a big opportunity are electrifying.

It's interesting that Buck has now twice gone back to a reliever guy who has already been bruised up this series, and both times been burned for it.

What a piece of garbage Sewald has become. He stunk as a Met and I can't remember him from any of the myriad of RPs that came and went. Now he's decent so good for him but it's not like we gave a crap about him then or give a crap about him now.

He didn't suck that much. But he always struck me as a guy who'd only be a Met, like organization depth who serves a purpose and then pitches for the Ducks or Hiroshima Tigers.

I know that they are professional hitters who can do magical things and have great eyesight and fantastic skills... but perhaps don't swing at a 2-0 pitch when you are leading off and your team is down 3 runs.

Frayed Knot May 15 2022 03:17 PM Re: Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

Lotta shit went down in that bottom 9th. * Escobar's triple -- a firing squad offense if he's not safe at 3rd and still probably a bad move even though he was. Essentially no upside to the extra base * Mazeika swinging on 2-0 (referenced above) -- I don't mind that one so much. They had already scored once (so down 2 runs, not 3) Mazz is therefore the tying run and he picked out a fastball and tried to lose it which he showed last night he's capable of doing. * Mazeika going to 3rd -- Again, you HAVE to make it but here there's more upside: getting to 3rd with <2 outs as the tying run and allowing Nimmo to get to 2nd as the winning run, plus taking away the possible GiDP. A closer play on a much shorter thrown from shallow LF ... but still a better gamble. * Servais pulling in the IF w/runners on 2nd & 3rd when a single loses him the game. Yeah you Might! cut down the tying run but, like the booth, I can't condone that one. * Walking Lindor -- sets up both the force all around and the Righty/Righty matchup for the slider pitcher ... but is that worth bringing the game-tying BB into play? I could make arguments either way. Don't know what Castillo's BB tendencies are. oe: and BMFC1 brought up the idea of pinch-running for Mazeika and taking a chance on a non-catcher catching in extras if it came to that.

MFS62 May 15 2022 03:42 PM Re: Seattle @Mets igt 5/15 ⚾️🌞💰

I haven't checked the stats, but my eyeballs tell me that Pete has really improved his bat to ball skills this season. But even the best hitters fail seven times out of ten yadda yadda yadda.

It's just ... I'm sorry for the lack of faith, but ... there was almost nobody I wanted up there less than Alfonso. And yeah, he really has restrained himself of late on chasing the slider away, but not so much at all there.

Chad ochoseis wrote: I thought this move was madness on Servais's part. I haven't checked the stats, but my eyeballs tell me that Pete has really improved his bat to ball skills this season. He has, but I can still make arguments for the other side: Lindor = lefty hitter, faster, better career track record. And mainly that you don't need to fear Pete's power as much there since they only needed a single to win, not a GS. Looking up Diego Castillo's career numbers after the fact, he has better numbers vs RHBs as compared to LHBs but not dramatically so, and his BB rate is somewhat high but, again, nothing crazy (3.3/9) so factor that stuff in how you will.
