IGT 6/4/2022: NYM@LAD — A Good Night to Honor Gil

G-Fafif Jun 04 2022 10:52 AM

The team that honored the late Gil Hodges 49 years ago versus the team that just remembered Gil helped them win their first World Series. David Peterson looks to overshadow Walker Buehler at 10:10 PM EDT on SNY.

A win would be great. Scoring some runs and stringing some hits together would be better yet. Show something out there.

I don't care about the betting line, but I dig this girl on the pre-game. I need something better than Todd Zeile to look at.

Gary and Keith rightfully calling the Dodgers out for wearing this horseshit on the night they retire Hodges' numbers instead of the classic whites - preferably with B hat

That story Gary tells about Gil Jr. being led from his father's funeral to see Jackie Robinson, who couldn't compose himself enough to get out of the car — it was Howard Cosell who led him out.

Throwing to second is easier for a lefthander, but throwing home isn't. Just sayin', Keef.

Frayed Knot Jun 04 2022 08:48 PM Re: IGT 6/4/2022: NYM@LAD — A Good Night to Honor Gil

It was still the right play to go for the GIDP. Pete had bad footwork on the play and sailed the throw.

Well, that series of events just shows why the Dodgers are the Dodgers. Betts lays off of bad pitches and Peterson had his back against the wall, and pow.

Sheesh, someday somebody's going to find the memo from the league to managers saying that if it's all the same, try and get pitchers otherwise in line for a win out before the end of the fifth.

The odd thing is, if Pete Alonso goes and hits a third homer, THEN they can bring McKinstry in, and this will all have been an exercise.

Holderman gets credited as winning pitcher, despite getting only one out, and coming out of the game before the end of the fifth. Relievers can earn wins before the 15th out, but starters cannot. Weird. Apart from the weirdness, though, Colin Fucking Holderman is three and fucking oh in his big league fucking career.

Roberts tried to save his bullpen by bringing in a position player (McKinstry) to pitch but rules forbid that now if the team is down by fewer than 6. So, Roberts didn;t know the rule; CB Bucknor did--but didn't know how to enforce it. So they stood around for 11+ minutes. The Dodgers were insistent their pitcher have adequate time to warm up once they determined it was disallowed--but the whole thing goes against this new sensitivity to pitcher injury. I don't know how you penalize a between innings defensive rulebreaking. There's a remedy for batting out of order (batter out); should they give the Mets an additional out?

Well, Alonso might now be the 2nd best hitting first baseman in the NL this season as he probably leapfrogged Cron these past two or three days. But hitting wise, he's not even in Goldschmidt's time zone. Goldschmidt's having the best hitting season of anyone in the NL so far this season.

Easy, either he brings in a cold guy or he can continue with the one who finished up the last inning. What, is that guy somehow unable to come back out because he already has his feet up, slippers on, and is halfway through his first Budweiser?

"Are you sure that's the rule?", Roberts asked (not a verbatim quote) and the umps said, "F you, we're the F'in umps, you're out of the game, and if you don't have a pitcher ready to throw in 30 seconds you forfeit" (not said and Roberts would have accepted that) but instead they said "you're right, we stupid, let's check" (said in effect) so everyone wasted 11 minutes because Roberts didn't know the rule and the umps had no stones.

batmagadanleadoff Jun 05 2022 05:15 PM Re: IGT 6/4/2022: NYM@LAD — A Good Night to Honor Gil

On the night Gil's Dodger # was retired, the Mets coulda contributed by wearing 1969 throwbacks with the centennial patch.

Edgy MD Jun 05 2022 05:19 PM Re: IGT 6/4/2022: NYM@LAD — A Good Night to Honor Gil

Yeah, it was a missed opp all around. They could have worn a version of Brooklyn Dodgers road uniforms with New York and NY on the uniform. But 1969 was the way to go. Did Vin Scully appear?
