Yeah!

Has Guillorme nailed down the everyday 2B job? Is McNeil now his backup and their regular LFer?

Happy No-Han Day!

I think what we're generally seeing is Guillorme platooning with Canha, with McNeil swinging between the two positions.



But McNeil is probably getting extra rest as he recovers from some bumps and bruises. Double-digit division leads can allow you to do that.

That's a more comprehensive way of looking at what I was trying to express, though Buck seems to find other places, CF, 1B, to stick Canha in the lineup.

This kid that Washington is throwing out there is apparently fresh out of AA, not AAA, baseball. He might be meat.

MLB.tv free game of the day, but I who have paid am still black'd out.

The issue was generally moot with Nimmo out and McNeil playing OF regularly.



I think it's Escobar who should stand to lose the most playing time to Guillorme (not McNeil or Canha).

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 11:34 AM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Despite a pair of two-out baserunners, the Mets put up what is suddenly a very rare first-inning goose egg.

Willets Point Jun 01 2022 11:41 AM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

The fans at Citi Field sound very youthful today. School outings I expect.

I'm at the game, raising the average age a bit. Yes, at least 3 school groups. A lethargic crowd, waiting for a multiple-run outburst.

Nats threatening with first and third and one of the hardest guys to double up (Dee Strange-Gordon) at the plate.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 12:28 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

And they turn it anywutz!!

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 12:36 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Strange-Gordon helps some more, turning an RBI single into a second run with a bobble. METS!

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 01:22 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

We're gonna need our closer today, it looks like. Don't like to pull starters after five, but that's where we are. The good news is that Slugo is getting a second inning. More runs, please.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 01:29 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Tomás Nido is 3-for-3.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 01:38 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

You guys are missing a firing up of the Francisco Lindor RBI machine.

Willets Point Jun 01 2022 01:44 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

I didn't miss it.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 01:48 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Just trying to shake out the bushes and see who was around. Otto trying to pitch his way out of the hole he's dug, and gets two strikeouts. Nats have LOBbed a lot of dudes.

Just once, I'd like to hear a play-by-play person discuss warming up pitchers and not using them, without wink-wink saying, "There's a term for it, but I won't use it on the air."

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 02:02 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

First and third and two outs, and Nido looking to build on his three-for-three.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 02:03 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

FOUR-FOR-FOUR!!! TWO MORE RUNS!!!

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 01 2022 02:04 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Been working with this game playing over my shoulder. That Nido hit looked like an inside the park HR till I realized Nido hit it.

bmfc1 Jun 01 2022 02:04 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

I'm not complaining but how do you only get to 2B on a ball that goes to the wall? Great day for Nido and a pleasant surprise.

Centerfield Jun 01 2022 02:04 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

The Thomas Nido Game.

This ex-catcher understands.

This was exactly what we had to do, take a perfect homestand with us to this scary West Coast swing

ashie62 Jun 01 2022 02:42 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

What a game and homestand.Mets seem more "put together" under Buck.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2022 02:55 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

The Thomas Nido Game. I'm not sure how these things go — can a single guy have two eponymous games? Because Tomás already has one. Same opponent, too! http://ultimatemets.com/scorecard_graph.php?game=9373&font=1>

Lefty Specialist Jun 01 2022 05:30 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Observations from the first time I've been to Citi since 2019: Bunch of asshole Nats fans and one drunken Met fan, obnoxiously loud to the point where an usher actually came down to tell them to shut up. It gets old fast when someone yells that every pitch is a strike, even the ones that bounce. But when Nimmo came up they started shouting 'Let's Go Brandon!' like it was the biggest inside joke on the planet. Food good but jeez is it overpriced. Buffalo chicken mac and cheese was pretty damn good, though. $30 to park. I know the Jets are $50, but I guess Cohen needs to pay for those free agents somehow. And those wonderful new screens they gushed about just display ads nonstop. It was like playing in Draft Kings Stadium. Seaver statue was awesome in person, but it's impossible to get a good picture with it because of crowds and the fact that people sit all around the base without moving. As always, ear-splitting music between innings except when they're playing a stupid game. Actual trivia question: Who was the manager of the '69 Mets? Nats have the look of a team that's mailing it in. Which is okay right now. 6-0 homestand is awesome and it's nice for them to be firing on all cylinders heading to the west coast.

Fman99 Jun 01 2022 08:00 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

Just finished watching the recording. Good win all around. Beat up the bad teams, that's how you win pennants

Johnny Lunchbucket Jun 01 2022 08:12 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

I had the Buffalo Mac last night too. Tasted good, hard to mix the blue cheese on top in without it spilling, so you wind up eating blue cheese then the mac

Still pretty good, and goes well with a Coney Island Pilsner.

Felix seems to be laughing at the projectability of the Nido's 2016 Florida State League batting average.

roger_that Jun 02 2022 02:38 PM Re: IGT 06/01 - Nationals at Mets - Afternoon Delight

What was his BAbip in 2016, I wonder? And I wonder if Buck's just blowing smoke here, or if he believes a 6 y.o. minor league BA is meaningful. I'd have more respect for him if he was just BSing the media here.
