IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

On game two, Trevor Williams, 0-2, 4.20, faces TBD. So I was driving today and had time to listen to the rest of John Denver's Greatest Hits. You are spot on that the orchestration piled on the mix didn't help the songs. [YOUTUBE]B0Af9Z1mR2Y[/YOUTUBE]

=Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=93053 time=1653171972 user_id=119] So I was driving today and had time to listen to the rest of John Denver's Greatest Hits. You are spot on that the orchestration piled on the mix didn't help the songs.

It was the simply the style of the times.

I remember hearing a radio interview with Art Garfunkel (probably back in the '90s) and when the DJ, in the midst of talking about his career, played AG's cover of Jimmy Webb's 'That's All I Know'.

Artie, who obviously hadn't heard it in many years (it's not like artists sit around listening to their own records) said coming out of the piece something on the order of, 'Man, that thing doesn't

have an ounce of air to it', meaning of course that, with the vision of 20 or so years of hindsight, it sounded tremendously over-produced. Not that he was hating what he did but he added that

if he were to re-record that same song that he would do it very differently.



Also, just by chance, listening to a radio program just now I heard, for the first time in many years, Billy Joel's 'Ballad of Billy the Kid' and realized to my surprise that there were strings at the

beginning of that song, something I either never realized (because it was so common back then) or had forgotten over the years. But it very much stood out when listening to it with today's ears.

For the 2d game in a row, the Mets' baserunning is overproduced. In G1, Lindor tried for an extra-base with a runner on 3d and Pete on deck. G2 begins with Nimmo, who had the LFers good play in front of him, running himself into an out.

It's a rare thing when the 2022 Mets lose the first inning.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 07:06 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Blach seems to go to his hat and his crotch on every pitch. I'm not saying, but I'm saying. Mets getting baserunners the first two innings, but runs have yet to be.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 07:07 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Nido knocks in Escobar as Davis goes first to third. That's three slumping hitters hitting their way on base there.

Metsies get those runs right back. As for overproduced music of the early 1970s, it's all Phil Spector's fault. I still long for the day that a de-mushed full release of "All Things Must Pass" makes its way to the masses.

Ceetar May 21 2022 07:16 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Trevor Williams? this is gonna be classic Coors slug fest looks like.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 07:22 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Whatever magic Lugo figured out to make his breaking stuff work in Colorado, it doesn't look like Williams absorbed it.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Lindor is swinging for the fences a lot these days.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 07:54 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

What an inning for Rogers.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:02 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Adonis Medina is about six inches short of Miguel Castro and pretty close to being just as many MPH short in his fastball, but he has similar stuff and better control. I look for him to stick.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:09 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

And Mr. Sticky has stuck himself into a bases-loaded situation.

Marshmallowmilkshake May 21 2022 08:10 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Got out of that jam!

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:16 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Goudeau is a quicker worker than I would have expected. He seems to me to be the kind of guy who'd make the batter wait.

"It was going to be a routine play for Rogers." — Gary Cohen Gary, there haven't been a lot of routine plays for Rogers. Either way, back within a run.

nymr83 May 21 2022 08:22 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

i would hit Smith for Nido here.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:23 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Interesting that they're letting him bat.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:24 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

And it doesn't matter much if J.D. is getting thrown out on the bases.

kcmets May 21 2022 08:24 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Ending an inning with a caught-stealing. Not cool.

nymr83 May 21 2022 08:24 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

...or we could just end the inning by getting caught stealing against a pitcher who had yet to throw a ball in the strike zone. cool.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 21 2022 08:28 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Yeah that was some bullshit from JDD

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:29 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

I'd've been tempted to pinch-hit too, but it's the sixth-inning of a one-run ball-game. But it's the sixth, and that's a pretty early spot to put your last catcher into the game, and commit to a lefty in that spot going forward, in furtherance of an attempt to plate a guy from first with two out. But obviously, it's academic now.

Fman99 May 21 2022 08:31 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

I wonder why Medina got trotted out for a second inning given his very shaky 5th. I know its a doubleheader but still

nymr83 May 21 2022 08:32 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

we're all playing AL baseball now though, there may be no better chance to use Smith for Nido - particularly as they had just announced the righty pitcher and couldnt pull him

Johnny Lunchbucket May 21 2022 08:37 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

neither funky nor cold

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:37 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Well, now we're playing catchup baseball as the Rox go up 8-3.

nymr83 May 21 2022 08:37 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

that got out of hand quickly.

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:39 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Medina needs to bust a move out of this game.

nymr83 May 21 2022 08:41 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

He needs to get through this damn inning. Don't want to blow through the whole pen today

Edgy MD May 21 2022 08:43 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

I think pulling him was righteous. There are exactly one million pitchers in the Mets bullpen.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 21 2022 08:44 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

Oh we're getting blown out. 😳

nymr83 May 21 2022 08:49 PM Re: IGT - 5-21-22 Mets vs Rockies GAME TWO Sunshine on my Shoulders

it is getting uuuuuugly

Mets need to get with the program and fill up my senses.
