IGT 6/7/2022: NYM@SDP — Tai Yu in Knots

G-Fafif Jun 06 2022 11:45 PM

Four in a row, along with maintaining alertness, is the immediate goal at 9:40 PM EDT on SNY, with our Mr. Walker opposing their Mr. Darvish.

Get your rest in early or keep your stimulants handy. Davish tends to work slowly enough to make Blake Snell look like Greg Maddux.

I honestly thought you were trying to figure out Buck's logic. I know I was. For now, he seems to moving McN. up and down depending on who's pitching. Not enough games to form a clear pattern, but I'm interested in whether he'll settle on a regular pattern, slots, platoons, rest, etc. or if he'll stay as irregular in his lineups as he was his first few games of managing the Mets. I like a predictable set pattern, and i think players prefer it too.

J.D. Davis needs to play more. See also episode 49 of Mets On tap.

Two Mets plugged leading off two innings. If they get Wilson Contreras, they'll get hit even more. And Pete comes out o' the game.

Top four batters in the Mets lineup are currently battered.

I'm watching the game on ESPN gamecast (just for a while). It's gone haywire. Alonso HBP. Then Alonso grounded out to first. Now JD Davis is on 1st. He wasnt even in the lineup. Now nobody;s on base. WTF?

batmagadanleadoff Jun 07 2022 08:06 PM Re: IGT 6/7/2022: NYM@SDP — Tai Yu in Knots

Now it's fixed. Two HBP's this inning.

So where was Pete hit?

Edgy MD Jun 07 2022 08:08 PM Re: IGT 6/7/2022: NYM@SDP — Tai Yu in Knots

Alonso was hit on the inside of the right wrist. Davis replaced him after. In retrospect, maybe starting Dock Ellis wasn't a bright idea.

Negative X-rays for Pete. Quad tightness for Marte, further imaging needed.

Nope. They need an MRI to be definitive, and that's when you find those little fractures that lead to big IL stints.

MFS62 Jun 08 2022 06:24 AM Re: IGT 6/7/2022: NYM@SDP — Tai Yu in Knots

Earlier this year, the Mets notified MLB that they were concerned about the number of their players being hit. The ump should have warned Darvish after the second hit batter and tossed his ass after the third. Buck should have played the game under protest until MLB reviewed tapes of the game and shown the ump [CROSSOUT]incompetence[/CROSSOUT] non-performance. Later

No offense, but all that is absurd.

Two guys got nicked on the foot by breaking balls (I hope Brandon's shoelace is OK) and Pete was hit on the hand mostly because he was swinging at the pitch and rightly shouldn't have even been awarded 1st base.

There was ZERO grounds for protest, and what was he going to protest anyway, that three of his guys were awarded 1st? That's more than got on base any other way last night.

Throw Darvish out? I'd protest THAT if I were the SD manager.

I saw the box score and not the game. Three HBP pissed me off, especially since Mets players have been hit a lot this year.

I saw the film adaptation. I thought Chris Pine was a terrible choice to play Eduardo Escobar, and I don't agree with them conflating his backstory with Luis Guillorme's, but I understand that they do these things for time constraints.

MFS62 Jun 08 2022 09:24 AM Re: IGT 6/7/2022: NYM@SDP — Tai Yu in Knots

That comparison is silly. A box score contains facts. Three HPB are three HBP, and will forevermore be counted in official baseball statistics- whether they were intentional or not and whether anyone got injured or not. And my post was an honest and emotional response to it. A movie adaptation may not. If you are telling us that movie adaptations contain factual information, it had nothing to do with the game. My comment about the box score did. Why are you making fun of my post? Are you still an editor and is it part of your DNA? Or haven't you had that job for years? I don't think you should use your post on any future job application as an example of your editorial prowess. It was just some sound and fury. And if you think you were being smart or funny, you weren't. Later

If you don't think your error was funny — calling for ejections and protests over events you didn't see or hear and don't represent what you describe — then you don't. I do, and I like to think I would if it was my error. If you think it's cool to (for what? the eighth time?) attack my career and competence out of nowhere, then you do. I'm mostly OK enough with myself to deal with that. But I don't think I should have to explain that what I wrote has nothing to do with editing. And it has nothing to do with sound or fury, any more than it has to do with volcanoes or caterpillars or debutante balls. Please feel free to attack my post on its own terms.

I dunno. I think it was an incredibly powerful reaction for someone who never saw the game in the first place and then essentially concedes later on that not all HBP's are equal. I mean, you have to see the game to form an opinion about the pitcher's intent, no? Ejections? Protests? Are those calls even allowed to be protested? Unless it was all tongue in cheek. I'm definitely guilty of that. Sometimes, anyways. Of course, when I go tongue in cheek and then someone misses the point and goes all literal on me, I then respond by going even tongue in cheekier. If they still don't get it by then, things sometimes tend to go downhill really quickly after that.
