Interesting lineup. No starts against the Yankees for Guillorme.

kcmets Jul 27 2022 01:29 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Maybe he needs a doghouse thread too. *the room moans*

G-Fafif Jul 27 2022 01:50 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Braves lose. Mets lead is 2 1/2.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 02:30 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Am I right in thinking that this game is an ESPN exclusive?

kcmets Jul 27 2022 03:38 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Seems to be. Man they're gonna Disney this thing up to no end. Definitely an ESPN Deportes kinda night I'm betting...

Howie and Wayne And mute TV pain

Ceetar Jul 27 2022 05:14 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

apparently we're watching Incredibles on the main TV anyway, so yeah, Howie and Wayne rock.

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 05:29 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

So far, Scherzer is Scherzering.

Yankees playing four outfielders (no third baseman) against Escobar. I think he's got to bunt there.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 05:51 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

All Sit

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 06:08 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Bonus run with Nido/Lindor. 2-0 good guys. Scherzer pitching to contact tonight.

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 06:11 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Scherzer cruises through the 4th

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 06:13 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

47 pitches thru 4 45 is considered average/good for three IP

kcmets Jul 27 2022 06:16 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Vogelbach makes Coach Kirby look svelte in their first base chat.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 06:17 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Too early to celebrate and declare victory obviously, but in 7 PAs as a Met for Vogelbach he's been on base 4 times.

kcmets Jul 27 2022 06:19 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

He runs pretty well too!

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 06:34 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

I think this Scherzer guy has a nice career ahead of him.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 06:40 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

He was a Fortunate Son there.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 06:54 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Vogie vs. a lefty a tough call to make.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 06:56 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Luetge was luetge he didn't see Davis there.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:03 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

I was really hoping to get Matt Carpenter 0-for-the-series.

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 07:04 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Nice work to get out of the jam there by Scherzie

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:06 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Eighty-four pitches through six, so yeah, bring him out for the seventh. But he's had a lot of hard contact finding gloves so far.

roger_that Jul 27 2022 07:19 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

On Nido's double, he bent over to dust himself off, and I noticed that his name upside down spells out ODIN. Has this been noted already?

kcmets Jul 27 2022 07:21 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Yeah, sit the F down.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:25 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

I've seen deGrom throw shutout ball while living dangerously, but Scherzer has danced on the edge of oblivion the whole game tonight.

Gwreck Jul 27 2022 07:26 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Mets fans chanting back “MVP” after third Judge Strikeout.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:27 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Somebody put on Loverboy record, because it's time for the Mets to get Luetge.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:29 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Who do you like for the eighth? Hunter? Lugo? Williams? Lopez? Smith? I dunno.

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 07:36 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Buck likes Peterson. Hmmm.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:38 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Wasn't even on my list. Not the worst idea, though.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:40 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

And it's looking like a worse idea.

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 07:40 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Four pitch walk in the lefty/lefty matchup. Ugh

kcmets Jul 27 2022 07:40 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

And just like that...

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Well, fuck.

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

And a dinger. Total misfire by Buck. A bullpen full of guys who have pitched in short relief all year. Use those dudes.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

And it's looking like a fartingly bad idea.

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 07:42 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Lugo coming in a few batters late. The dinger I can almost live with. The 4-pitch walk to a lefty I can't.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 27 2022 07:45 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Darn it.

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 07:49 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Lugo, naturally, lights out once the game's tied up.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 07:52 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Surprising that Boone wasn't out to argue on Strike 3 call to Donaldson since he maintains that if MFY hitters don't swing at it then it's automatically a ball.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Well striking out the side is a good turn. A good turn from a sick burn, perhaps, but onward.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 07:56 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

"Buck, what were you thinking in sending Peterson out there?" "How do you know that I was thinking anything? You can't possibly fathom the workings of my mind. Don't even try to, okay? You're not equipped for the task."

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 08:05 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Do you burn Diaz here with 8-9-1 due up? I stick with Loogs if it's me

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 08:06 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Lugo for a second inning= scary.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2022 08:06 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Lou Geaux

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 08:08 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

He look all right thus far in inning #2. I think the real fear is 2nd straight day Lugo

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 08:08 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

ESPN announcers stink but their crawl is also terrible. How many times in 3 hours do I need to see the same NFL and Mike Trout story lines?

roger_that Jul 27 2022 08:09 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

"Buck, why did you go with Lugo rather than Diaz in the ninth?" "Because I'm smart and you're dumb, that's why."

roger_that Jul 27 2022 08:10 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Diaz got Judge by pitching him high and tight last night.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 08:10 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

New Rule: No ghost runners in extra innings in intra-city matchups.

kcmets Jul 27 2022 08:11 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

And now it's time to face the judge.

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 08:12 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Okay, let's win it here please.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 27 2022 08:13 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Lots of Schaefer for Lugo for that out alone.

Fman99 Jul 27 2022 08:14 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

That was yeoman's work there by Loogfurd

smg58 Jul 27 2022 08:14 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Lugo was super. Now let's win this.

Lefty Specialist Jul 27 2022 08:15 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Escobubbeleh. OK, Nido.

We still don't have a righty bat on the bench.

Escoboogie!!!

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 27 2022 08:19 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Marte can cement legend status right here.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2022 08:20 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Escobar should also be heads up for anything in the dirt.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 27 2022 08:20 PM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Immediately after the end of the game the Yanx dealt 'a coupla prospects' to KCR for Andrew Benintendi. During the GMSIII era it would be safe to assume that the deal was made because of the results of the prior two games but it's more likely now that this was in the works for a while and has more to do with the Stanton injury (and injury history) than just a knee-jerk reaction.

Edgy MD Jul 28 2022 07:15 AM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

I was getting a feeling, most acutely after the two homers in the first inning of Game One, that the Mets may have a record that says they're a top team, but they lacked the big ugly aura that the Yankees had of just being stupid bullies. The Dodgers had it, to my thinking, and the Astros too, and there was something about the Yankees that said that they could just swat you away, and if you stole a game here and there, good for you, but it's just because they couldn't get motivated enough to bother. But watching on, I could see how subtle dysfunctions were baked into the pudding. Guys were playing out of position. Guys who were ridiculously hot were really being unreasonably counted on to continue as such. If a ball stayed in the park that would have gotten out of Yankee Stadium, the problem was with the park, not the team. They seemed kind of like the Lucas Duda-in-the-outfield-era Mets. A much better version of that team certainly — but a flawed and mis-shapen team nonetheless.

I found Bill! [FIMG=500]https://mbtn.net/images/broom.jpg[/FIMG] Thank you. I like it that nobody used the word, or referred to a "sweep" until after the game. Ashie just used "brooms" in the thread title and I appreciated that. As you may have figured out by now I'm very superstitious*, and consider using the word sweep before the series is over to be a jinx. When the sports reporters on tv or radio say something like "The Mets are going for the sweep tonight" I cringe in anticipation of a loss. Later * = I don't like to make pre-season predictions, either

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 28 2022 09:58 AM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

[fimg=500]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FYwRBT0WYAELVqT?format=jpg[/fimg] Can't get it to work, but the News back cover is Judge, and the bold headline "Guilty." I'd rather them focus on Mets successes than Yankee failures in the game, but this is still funny.

kcmets Jul 28 2022 10:07 AM Re: IGT 7/27/22 Max on the mound and brooms are ready

Marte Partay would be much more appropriate.
