May weekend: Saturday (night game) Sunday (night game) Memorial Day Monday (night game) If Abner Doubleday were still alive he'd be rolling over in his grave.

The sweep requires more Kinks references! I was a at a minor league game last night, and a guy was wearing a Motorhead "No Sleep 'til Hammersmith" t-shirt. When I commented on it, he said, "The loudest concert I've ever been to." The second loudest, he said, was The Kinks. Didn't see that coming. Not a loud song: [YOUTUBE]xRUE0aAI5o8[/YOUTUBE]

Today's game is the problem. Saturday night with post-game Fireworks on a holiday weekend is a great game; no issues there at all. And ESPN national TV games can't be a surprise anymore (it wasn't as if other teams were playing night games). But on the holiday itself? The Mets are on a homestand and Washington played yesterday afternoon, traveling all the way from…DC.

Mets holding onto the lineup card as they try to suss out whether or not McNeil is OK to go.

McNulty is DHing and batting 5th, Zimmo still out, NICK bats 9th, Nido, no Dom Smith

Edgy MD May 30 2022 04:22 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

I got Darling Nikki batting eighth here: https://www.mlb.com/starting-lineups I got to beta-test a time machine yesterday. You can't travel to the future and interact with it or anything like that, but you can just move around and witness it in a sort of ghost-like state. I went 20 years into the future, and discovered that Summer 2022 in New York is still celebrated as The Summer of Plummer.

roger_that May 30 2022 04:26 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

OK, it seems (seems) that Buck has decided that McNeil belongs in the 5 hole and Marte in the 2 hole, rather than vice versa, which is where I'd put them. A little odd, given their skills, but maybe Buck knows something I don't. McNeil has a better OBP and slightly lifetime better SLG (not very much better) so I'd want him hitting #2.

The Mets are on a homestand and Washington played yesterday afternoon, traveling all the way from…DC. I suppose it could be worse, the Yanx (and several other teams) aren't scheduled at all today (as we haven't been on multiple holidays over the past few years). And the Saturday/Fireworks deal is fine except that we all know that Saturday night games are now the norm, including in the northeast in April.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 30 2022 04:40 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

Buck has rarely used Marte deep in the lineup except when he was struggling. So it seems to be a choice between McNeil or Escobar 5th, and that seems to favor McNeil

Johnny Lunchbucket May 30 2022 04:48 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

NICK is being interviewed on the radio pregame. Mentioned he was grateful his Wifey of 10 years was there. Fan retrieved the ball for him, he exchanged it for a bat, will give the ball to his parents. Very polite, almost seems more like an Elliot than a NICK.

Edgy MD May 30 2022 05:01 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

I'm guessing that (1) Buck likes Marte's speed/power combo in the two-hole, (2) McNeil's wheels are less than ideals, and (3) putting your toughest out behind Alonso is just a kind thing to do for the big guy. Mickey has hit wherever he's batted.

Chad ochoseis May 30 2022 05:26 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

This is about the worst inning I've seen the team play all season.

Lefty Specialist May 30 2022 05:32 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

Peterson rackytacked. Didn't seem to have a feel for anything and Ron seemed to infer he was tipping his changeup. And two on with nobody out.

I think Pete just swung at ball 7.

Hopefully, a little rest didn't mess up McJeff's mojo.

Would have liked more, but it's a start. Now Peterson needs to step up.

Hitting 4 balls to Guillorme is never a good strategy.

[CROSSOUT]43[/CROSSOUT] 52 pitches from Fedde just to get four outs ... and two of those outs came on one pitch (the McNeal GIDP) and one on a great catch by Robles.

I watched the 1st inning with a WSH fan and he was beaming after his team scored 3 in the first. I just said, "this Mets team is relentless." I hope he's listening in the car now at 6 to 3.

Lefty Specialist May 30 2022 06:09 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

One hour, still in the second. Sounds about right.

RealityChuck May 30 2022 06:17 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

I find it amazing that the team can always come back when the other team takes a lead. I can't recall a time when the team wasn't out of it once they fell behind.

Shout out to Cookie Rojas, possibly the best third base coach in Mets history.

Forget the stats. My eyeballs tell me Guillorme's OBP for May is 1.000, and that's what I'm going to believe.

Hockey game 1/3 over [2-0 Rangers in first intermission]

Baseball game slightly more than 1/3 over

Edgy MD May 30 2022 07:01 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

That's 59 pitches through four. Six is within reach, and Holderman and Shreve are fresh.

Edgy MD May 30 2022 07:02 PM Re: IGT 05/30 - Nationals at Mets - Memorial Day Nightgame

Probably a good idea to get McNipples out of there, unless he's working on a hit streak or something.
