IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

G-Fafif Jul 09 2022 09:00 PM

Here's hoping whatever the Marlins couldn't do behind their bullpen in the tenth Saturday plagues their ace on Sunday. Or the Mets could just hit well and Taijuan Walker could pitch well. First pitch 1:40 on 11 Alive, as we used to say, though when it was 11 Alive, WTF would the Mets be doing there?

Status of the mighty McCann and the magnificent Marte?

TransMonk Jul 10 2022 10:35 AM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Per Metsblog: James McCann is heading to the 10-day IL with an oblique injury, while the Mets still await the results for Starling Marte about his groin injury, said Buck Showalter prior to Sunday's game. I haven't seen any corresponding move for McCann and/or whether there is a backup catcher. I have seen tweets suggesting that McCann will likely need more than 10 days.

I assume they want to wait until they are certain that Mazeek can get there in time and in shape for the game before announcing a move. Otherwise, we might get an emergency activation of Dave Racianiello or one of the Brooklyn catchers (José Mena and Matt O'Neill).

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 11:44 AM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Alcantara Shmalshmantara. Mets have an All-Star starting pitcher going too.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 12:11 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Well, yeah, but that was posted before the announcement. GIVE ME SOME CREDIT BITCHIES!

Can we chip in and buy Dom a pair of shades?

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 12:19 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

I regretted the last time I wrote this, but home plate umpie has been been getting the job done nicely. The Fish have been complaining a bit, but they've been wrong.

These are sweetest of sounds for the Mets Francisco to Luis to Dom A trio of gloves that suppress Marlin threats Francisco to Luis to Dom Franciso fields balls hit way to his right Luis relays them more quickly than light Dominic stretches and ump cries "Good night!" Francisco to Luis to Dom

Sanchez is fun to watch in center. His feet seem to move so much that he's taking two un-necessary steps for every productive one. He's covering ground but he seems to be fighting himself right up until he catches the ball.

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 01:00 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Two pitchers at the top of their game here.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 01:07 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Here we go, the Marlins have begun the sabotage

Gwreck Jul 10 2022 01:08 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Nimmo got on via error, but I'd have considered another 2-strike bunt there.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:13 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Lindor shoulda bunted, man.

He's got the biggest balls of them all Walker, that is

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:26 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Damn, Walker has matched Alcantara, pitch for pitch.

Gwreck Jul 10 2022 01:28 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

99 pitches and he's probably done. With 4 of the team's top relievers pitching yesterday, we're getting…Tommy Hunter for the 8th? Or Drew Smith?

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 01:28 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Wow. Walker es muy macho. Problem is that now you have the bullpen.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:32 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

I'm cool with bunting for a bezhit with two strikes, but I'd just like to see more of that with lesss than two strikes.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:33 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Dom is fighting himself again. Swinging scared.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:38 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Pinch-hit for Neato?

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:38 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Nope. Maybe our last best chance against Alcantara.

Gwreck Jul 10 2022 01:39 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Short bench hurts; would like to be able to hit for Nido here.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:40 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Blungh.

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 01:42 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Alcantara bends but does not break. Drew Smith tries to keep it in the park.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:47 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Smith is a tough pitcher, but he stays on the outside of the plate. He needs to find something that he's comfortable coming in with.

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 01:50 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

C'mon Metsies. Alcantara is out. Hook yourself some Bass.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 01:51 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Time to play the bass

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 01:51 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Alcantcontinue.

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 01:58 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Sure looks like another extra-inning game.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:01 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

And the Marlins have a designated pinch-runner for extra innings. Maybe Inciarte can take that role for the Mets, but they probably aren't going to lift Alonso unless they feel like they're up against it.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 02:06 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Ok JDD, let's do this

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:10 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

If the Mets can't walk this off, J.D. plays first for what I think would be the [CROSSOUT]second[/CROSSOUT] fourth time this season.

Another great game ruined by Rob Manfred and his unnecessary, idiotic, offensive rule change.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:15 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

I'm happy to see them go with the bad first base option.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:16 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Guillorme becomes the Mets free runner in the bottom of the 10th.

bmfc1 Jul 10 2022 02:19 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Nido threw that further than he can hit a ball.

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 02:25 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Run woulda scored anyway. Two on now. Hold 'em here, Tommy.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 02:26 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

This team needs an Allstar break

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:27 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

but no. Atlanta and Washington still tied, bottom of the eighth.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 02:30 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Nido owes us a 2 run Homer here

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:31 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Jesús Aguilar moves to first, subtracting from the defense and taking the DH away from the Marlins. Let's go, Nido.

Gwreck Jul 10 2022 02:33 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Third time this game it would've been helpful to hit for Nido but we don't have a bench.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 02:34 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Ohhh I thought Zimmo got that one

Pinch-run Inciarte for Canha as the tying run?

kcmets Jul 10 2022 02:39 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Before the outcome, I just want to say this is crazy. Play baseball for nine innings and then it's not baseball...

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:40 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Don't help him out, Francisco.

Edgy MD Jul 10 2022 02:40 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Helped him a lot, sadly.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 10 2022 02:43 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

I think this is now 3 times this team has withstood Alacantra, only to go on to lose

Frayed Knot Jul 10 2022 02:47 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Thought we caught a break when Alcantara was yanked after 7 with a low pitch count and a taxed pen ... but no.

roger_that Jul 10 2022 02:54 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Solace in getting shut out is you're never going to win on days you don't score. It's hard to get upset when the other team manages to push a run across in extras.

bmfc1 Jul 10 2022 03:09 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

Lindor's swing on the 2-0 count might have lost the game. He probably thought "he doesn't want to walk me with Pete on deck" and he wanted to be the hero so he swung on a low pitch that even the ump would have called a ball.

kcmets Jul 10 2022 03:13 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

=roger_that post_id=99184 time=1657486443 user_id=128] It's hard to get upset when the other team manages to push a run across in extras.

They didn't play extras the last two games as I'm concerned. I got little

satisfaction last night winning and I'm not upset losing today.



It's not baseball, and it disgusts me to see some of the things going on.

He probably thought "he doesn't want to walk me with Pete on deck" and he wanted to be the hero so he swung on a low pitch that even the ump would have called a ball. Yup. I suspect he sold out on the fastball but got a slider instead. That's a very different AB with a 3-0 count rather than 2-1

Lefty Specialist Jul 10 2022 03:47 PM Re: IGT 7/10/2022: MIA@NYM -- Save Some of That for Alcantra

I forgot about the Cubs series. In my mind, the series in Atlanta led right into the break. Also, sucks to have a homestand last just four games.
