IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Edgy MD Aug 23 2022 02:10 PM

Taijuan returns to the lineup, along with Tomás. The rest of the lineup is pretty stable, with the Mets still riding Canha's hotness and Tyler Naquin still riding pine.

I wonder when/if Escobar is going to displace Baty.

Lefty Specialist Aug 23 2022 02:40 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Never thought I'd be so glad to see Tomas Nido back. Baty's a nice story, but he may need a bit more seasoning. Not sure platooning him with Escobar is the right way to go, not that Escobar's any world-beater himself this year.

These 1st inning mound visits would be banned under my MLB dictatorship (Yanx did it last night too,). Nice to hear GKR agreeing.

Nice 6 pitch bottom 1st for Tie-one-on Now Montas goes right back in the soup after his near 30 pitch effort with hardly a break at all.

Whole Lotta weak contact so far ... even by the guys getting on base.

bmfc1 Aug 23 2022 06:10 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

I'm surprised that Pete's bat made contact with his knee.

Lefty Specialist Aug 23 2022 06:13 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

They let Montas off the hook early, and now it's biting them.

We have some rare 99-on-99 action here.

Edgy MD Aug 23 2022 06:20 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

And the wrong 99 wins.

nymr83 Aug 23 2022 06:22 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

That was a blast, was hoping Walker would just throw one in the dirt on 3-2 and let someone else beat him.

Edgy MD Aug 23 2022 06:22 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Agreed. That pitch never really had much of a chance.

Edgy MD Aug 23 2022 06:27 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Ball four to Donaldson there was a strike. In fact, that's the pitch he ought to have thrown to Judgy if he had to throw a fastball.

nymr83 Aug 23 2022 06:29 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Crap.

Walker seemed to be working on the let someone else beat him. Of course he was an accomplice in his own downfall that inning.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2022 06:34 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

But none of this matters if we're going to flail at pitches all night like the did yesterday. Right now they're a Vogelbach swing away from looking at a double shutout.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2022 06:37 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Canha with the first decent contact of the game. And now the catcher's interference is the second.

The Hot Corner Aug 23 2022 06:40 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

The Mets really need to cash in this inning.

Someone that young should be faster.

The Hot Corner Aug 23 2022 06:44 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Good Lord. Was Baty running on crutches? He was gunned out by a huge margin.

I didn't like that send. The RF in this stadium is already playing deep 2B before charging the hit. Then throw in Lindor coming up. Also don't Ike the head first slide

Lefty Specialist Aug 23 2022 06:45 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Baty was out by 20 feet. Short right field at work.

Edgy MD Aug 23 2022 06:46 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

That's one back, anyhow. Baty was sort of hung out to dry, but I've seen better slides by my uncle wiping out on the dancefloor at a wedding.

Jake may or may not need the rest, but I think splitting up the aces gives more flexibility for the long term.



This game is next to meaningless in the big picture, IMO. I would have given Pete a rest going into the off day before the home stand, too.

Kiner-Falefa had one job there — to be standing on second.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2022 07:05 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Pete scores on that hit if he doesn't stumble/stop, but that's a total bonehead move by Gleyber Torres (who doesn't seem like a high-IQ player overall).

No thanks. DHing is like 95% resting so just make sure the big hitters get some days there down the stretch

Lugo got Judge there and then got him again when the umpire missed it.

I know the TV booth (which I love) tries to be objective, but mentioning a 457 foot homerun a dozen times is a bit much. It was a home run. Yay.

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2022 07:18 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2022 07:22 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Another less than genius move by Torres. That's one of those, dumb even if you make it plays. More pitches than you'd like to see from Lugo (not entirely his fault) particularly if he's looking to go another inning here.

You could see by the overhead shot they showed, IKF (as his friends call him) was at 2nd until he realized there was not going to be a play there at which point he moved to back Torres.

Edgy MD Aug 23 2022 07:31 PM Re: IGT, 8/23/2022, NYM@NYY, Light Up the Empire State!

Not sure why Baty didn't tag. If that ball is gone, he walks home. If it drops, it's little more than a trot home.

Having Gelbs give both the pre-game odds and the updated in-game odds should be beneath SNY. Apparently it isn't.

Not a single clutch hit in the entire series. So not only have we let the Braves back into the race (not that they were ever really out of it) but we've let the Skanks right their ship just as it was taking on vast amounts of water.
