I'll take a turn. Max Scherzer, 4-1, 2.66, for the good guys, Jordan Hicks, 1-3, 4.15, for the Cards. Dog courtesy of our friends from the North: [YOUTUBE]Kpvqz_KiHs8[/YOUTUBE]

Jordan Hicks has been a relief pitcher thus far in his career. May the Mets Maximize their attack upon this experiment.

That's a beautiful guitar that Mr. Lifeson is sportin' there.

I'll be making a rare Wednesday Night Mets appearance at this one too. Section 323 with a guy I used to know in college

I hope Guillorme is in the lineup. Run up that pitch count.

kcmets May 18 2022 02:05 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Buck's a little slow today on the public posting of a lineup.

Glad to see Nimmo in the lineup!

Edgy MD May 18 2022 03:36 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Not even DH'ing him.

roger_that May 18 2022 03:37 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Wait. I thought Nimmo's taking a day off was supposed to put McNeil in LF.

vtmet7 May 18 2022 04:52 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Waiting to watch the game on MLB Network...unfortunately, MLB Network had the Dodgers/D'Backs at 4pm, and only the top of the 8th in that game...

Scherzer dis any diplomats yet today?

Edgy MD May 18 2022 05:14 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Luis Guillorme, looking like an outfielder.

Frayed Knot May 18 2022 05:15 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

11 pitch 1-2-3 top of the 1st

I hadn't noticed that change in the infield cut-outs before. No idea what the thinking was behind that.

Edgy MD May 18 2022 05:45 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

The booth talked through it a couple of days ago. I don't quite remember, but it had something to do with it being easier to pop replacement sod tiles in and out when there is a soccer game or something.

Derek Jeter is probably out of Albert Pujols' reach.

Wouldn't quite call that 'getting ripped'.

Coupla medium-soft hits, just all in a row.

ashie62 May 18 2022 05:55 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

At least they are not cardboard cutouts.

Frayed Knot May 18 2022 06:03 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Edgy MD wrote: Derek Jeter is probably out of Albert Pujols' reach. Yeah. After Molitor, who's next and only a few more away, Yaz is next but a full 100 more hits. That's probably a bridge too far for Albert. That was only his 12th hit on the season.

Edgy MD May 18 2022 06:41 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Man, if Guillorme was a hair faster and beat out that GiDP, he'd have scored on this Zeke double.

Edgy MD May 18 2022 06:42 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Brandon Nimmo has a problem with bat sniffing. It's becoming a thing.

Frayed Knot May 18 2022 06:49 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Mazeika or Bazooka?

Edgy MD May 18 2022 07:01 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

These delayed injury checks and replacements are getting weird. Letting Tommy Edman run into the clubhouse, get his glove, and then come out take warm-up grounders and stretch is kind of goofy. The guy got hurt in the last half inning. Get ready in case he needs to come out.

Edgy MD May 18 2022 07:04 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Sweet. Mets back in the lead. Edman gets nowhere near the ball in the hole. If these hit-batsmen lead to another on-field confrontation, Stubby would do well to stay home.

Suddenly sounds like the attendance is about 14 people.

Mid batter, yeah, that is bad

Who is their 5th starter at this point? Williams?

After that, it's probably Szapucki.

Internet sleuths have video of Hefner coming out of the tunnel and telling Buck it's "nothing bad." Probably just a cramp or a back spasm or something. I ain't sweating it.

This game is taking forever and it's virtually all StL's fault.

Hopefully a four-run lead is Lugo-proof. (sorry, that was quite negative thinking) #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

Eeeek, I'll shut up now...

Marshmallowmilkshake May 18 2022 08:16 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Molina looks ridiculous with the Michael Jordan Jumpman logo on his chest protector.

Edgy MD May 18 2022 08:18 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Yeah, a lot of catchers are looking silly in that. I hope they are getting well paid for it, because Yadier Molina should have his own trademarked silhouette on big league catching gear.

Frayed Knot May 18 2022 08:19 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

The problem with this inning (I mean, aside from the whole 2R HR thing) is that this will turn the lineup over for the 9th.

Edgy MD May 18 2022 08:20 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

Also, I'm strangely anxious to see a Gosuke Katoh appearance. I haven't even spotted him in the dugout.

Frayed Knot May 18 2022 08:21 PM Re: IGT 5/18/22 - Cardinals at Mets, Release the Hounds, Again

As an athlete, if you're slso a Nike bitch then the Jumpman logo is their highest honor.

I realize they have a brand-new manager, but this has been Cardinal team has seemed to have an uncharacteristically clunky operating mode.
