I know we we won't be seeing Wainwright, he went Sunday night v the Giants. I was hoping SF could really rake around the StL bully in that final game but it was the Cards who hung a 15-spot on the Gints. In fact the Cards, not wanting to waste an arm in mop-up duty, turned to Sir Albert of Pujols to pitch the 9th in a 15-2 game. He gave up 4 runs on 2 HRs, but got through the inning and was able to tack P onto his resume leaving C & CF as the only positions he never played (he's like the anti-Craig Biggio/Dale Murphy)

Eight out of nine Mets batting from the left side.

No idea why the hold up and hub bub but things are as they were going into last night... Mikolas (3-1, 1.49) Williams (0-2, 5.73) [YOUTUBE]nSJC-YDcS80[/YOUTUBE]

TBD (---, -.--) TBD (---, -.--) [YOUTUBE]ff96KTmvwZI[/YOUTUBE] That song is one long annoying and uninterrupted screech, like the desperate sound a dog whose tail was caught in a live shredder would make. I couldn't make out a single word Bon Scott sang, not one. You probably had Styx and Foreigner posters hanging from your bedroom walls when you were a teen-ager. You probably still do.

kcmets May 17 2022 11:22 AM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

It's not Bon Scott.

Brian Johnson. As if that even matters. Now I have to root for the Mets to lose so you wont start another IGT. At least for a little while, anyways. Hopefully. You said you weren't gonna start any more of these. How long did that last? A day and a half? What's the longest you ever went without starting one of these? Three Mets losses? Four, tops.

kcmets May 17 2022 11:31 AM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Well, you root as you must.

Another Tuesday Night Mets double-header! I'm gonna miss a lot of Game 1 but will be in section 102 for the 8th inning maybe, then all of Game 2

kcmets May 17 2022 01:15 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Williams with an 8 pitch 1-2-3 first!

Fman99 May 17 2022 01:18 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Marte out on bereavement. Gary Cohen out for reasons not disclosed. I think we have Wayne Randazzo doing PBP?

kcmets May 17 2022 01:19 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Wayne said in the opening comments that Gary had a family medical issue and is due back in a day or so.

kcmets May 17 2022 01:46 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Dom off the 0-20 schneid with a rip to right...

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2022 01:50 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Bases loaded, nobody out! (And a 3-0 count!) They better capitalize!

Gwreck May 17 2022 01:52 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

What is Mazeika doing swinging at the first pitch??

Edgy MD May 17 2022 01:53 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Popup by Zeke first-pitch swinging ain't getting it done.

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2022 01:53 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

One run. Coulda been better, coulda been worse.

Lefty Specialist May 17 2022 01:53 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Really needed more than one run there.

Marshmallowmilkshake May 17 2022 01:54 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I thought Zimmo might have had one there. Seems like our power dies at the warning track this week.

kcmets May 17 2022 01:56 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Nimmo teases with the warning-track powah.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 01:58 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Mets and Cards both passing up gilded opportunities to bunt against the extreme shifticle.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:00 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Wow. Goldschmidt pulling a Mazeika.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:03 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

"The good hitters are always tough outs." Thanks for that, Keith.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:05 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Trevor Williams is a hound.

kcmets May 17 2022 02:08 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Williams looking pretty damn sharp through three.

Is Escobar's walk-up music really Lazy Mary???

Lefty Specialist May 17 2022 02:15 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Well, he's batting like Lazy Mary.

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2022 02:18 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

My advice to him would be is to pay attention to me.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:20 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Mikolas ain't showing me that much. He's got a slider, but instead of breaking off the plate toward the back foot of lefthanded batters, it's breaking outside-in, right into their wheelhouses.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 02:22 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Pitches thru 3 innings: Miklos = 65, Williams = 41

Marshmallowmilkshake May 17 2022 02:22 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Good for Dom!

ashie62 May 17 2022 02:30 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Trevor Williams has exceeded my expectations.

Gwreck May 17 2022 02:33 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Heroic effort.

ashie62 May 17 2022 02:38 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

The deGrom update feels muted. They might push it til 8/1.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:39 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Crappy half inning for the home plate umpire.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 02:44 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Yeah, although I thought he got the Jankowski bunt attempt call correct. .

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 02:46 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

No walks for Williams, four hits and two of those were cheesy.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:46 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Trevor Williams being robbed of his chance to shine here.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:48 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Stinky situation for Jake Reed to be breaking the tape on his 2022.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 02:56 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I feel like Reedy is being hung out to dry here.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 03:01 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Hard to pitch a shutout inning while living more dangerously than Reed just did.

Gwreck May 17 2022 03:01 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I don't recommend using Reed for a second inning.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 03:01 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Reed gets out of the inning via the first guy to actually make contact with one of his pitches.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 03:10 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Surprising to see Reed get a shot at a second inning, but hey, they haven't hit him.

Buck rejects your recommendation.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 03:13 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Buck wins the gamble.

Gwreck May 17 2022 03:15 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I'll be the first to admit that I did not expect Reed's second inning to be an 8-pitch, 1-2-3 outing.

Lefty Specialist May 17 2022 03:16 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Reason #11,547 why Buck is the manager and I'm not.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 03:28 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Lugo masters Bader on one pitch.

Gwreck May 17 2022 03:31 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I *would* recommend using Lugo for a second inning.

And yet again he ignores you.

It's almost as if it is deliberate.



All seriousness, if a 12-pitch Lugo inning is so taxing that he can't pitch a second inning…on a doubleheader day…that's not great.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 03:49 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Hey, I agreed with both your assessments. I suspect Buck's line of thinking is to try to get extra innings out of the back of the pen while keeping the frontline guys fresher for future usage sooner ... like maybe starting about four hours from now.

Gwreck May 17 2022 03:51 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Yabbut, aren't Lugo, Smith, and Diaz the frontline guys? We could use a nice long outing from Taijuan tonight.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 04:01 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

=Gwreck post_id=92565 time=1652824315 user_id=56] Yabbut, aren't Lugo, Smith, and Diaz the frontline guys?

Yes, and I'm saying that shorter outings from them makes them potentially usable again sooner.

Gwreck May 17 2022 04:02 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I thought Buck was pretty clear that he wouldn't pitch a guy in both games of a DH. Maybe tomorrow though.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 04:02 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Putting the tying runs on wasn't part of the plan here.

Edgy MD May 17 2022 04:05 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

I had to walk the dogs at 3-0. I come back and ... wtf? Tying run on base?

Edgy MD May 17 2022 04:07 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Bader does for the Cardinals what Alonso did for the Mets on Sunday.

Frayed Knot May 17 2022 04:07 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Diaz finally gets Bader on the worst pitch of the AB Reminiscent of the game-ending AB by Pete the other day.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 17 2022 04:11 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

Got here in the top 8th. Crowd peaked too early cheering for Diaz, then nobody was up except us by last pitch. Booooks

Johnny Lunchbucket May 17 2022 04:11 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Cardinals at Mets - Release the Hounds ll (G1)

We're right behind the right fielder, like our home run chances
