This game looks real easy for the Mets. 12-1 easy.

metsmarathon Aug 01 2022 11:43 AM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

it's a trap. well, at least it could be.

kcmets Aug 01 2022 11:47 AM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

Max Scherzer (#21, 37, RHP, 6-2, 2.09) Patrick Corbin (#46, 32, LHP, 4-14, 6.49)

Benjamin Grimm Aug 01 2022 12:04 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

Ahh, Patrick Corbin! The bitter pill that a team might have to swallow if they want to get Juan Soto.

"Alright fine. We'll take Corbin, but you have to let us hit against him tonight first."

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2022 12:12 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

Gotta say, winning six straight then going to meet the worst team in the league while having Scherzer and deGrom lined up is a pretty nice situation to be in. It also tends to instill the idea that anything short of a dominating sweep represents utter failure.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 01 2022 12:12 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

I'd be okay with a mundane sweep.

Ceetar Aug 01 2022 12:39 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

I want everyone to just get into a nice groove, sweep or not. I worry this could be like the Coors Field effect, where batters tee-off against garbage pitching (or altitude suppressed pitching) And then when they get to Atlanta and the pitches break more, their timing is off.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 01 2022 12:43 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

Doesn't Atlanta have the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) highest elevation in all of baseball?

Ceetar Aug 01 2022 12:53 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

maybe? in the way that like, AA is the third highest level of baseball. https://i.imgur.com/SEzavJU.png>

Yeah, Atlanta is higher than many people realize, about 1,000 ft. And, since most major cities are on harbors, lakes, or rivers, that, I believe, made ATL the highest ML city pre-Denver, and it's probably near Phoenix for next now. oe: cross-posted with above

Ugh. Don't say that. I'm going tonight and any game against WSH puts my stomach in knots, even with Max pitching.

Seems like an early PH move for Buck.[VBach for JDD, Top 5th, 1 run lead, runner on 2nd]

Edgy MD Aug 01 2022 06:45 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

Pulling a guy one out into the fifth with nobody on base after he just struck out the #3 hitter is kind of ass. Not that I'm complaining. Getting deep into the bullpen in the first game of the series is a gift that keeps giving. As for pinch-hitting, the Nats have no lefties in their pen, so turning the DH over to Vogelback for the rest of the night makes some sense.

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 01 2022 06:45 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

JD pulled out. Trade?

Nah, strictly L/R

Edgy MD Aug 01 2022 06:47 PM Re: IGT 8/1 Max v Industrial strength gas can Corbin Mets v Nats

I think it's more about Vogelbach reaching in the mid .500's as a Met and the last lefty being out of the game.

Three hits for Nimmo. Steve Cishek in the game for Washington, and I guess that's where he's been this year. Good career for that guy, while rarely getting to close.

New Nats pitcher Hunter Harvey is the son of former Marlins pitcher Bryan Harvey.

I assumed he was the product of Matt Harvey and some eastern European model/actress/coke dealer.
