IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 06:26 AM

The parade of LHPs continues as Tyler Anderson faces Jacob deGrom Anderson, 32, in his 7th ML season, his 1st season as a Dodger (previously with COL, SFG, PIT, SEA) His career ERA prior to this season was 4.62 and, aside from his rookie season, had never been under 4.35 ... so this season it's 2.69 His career WHIP was 1.32 ... and this year it's 1.02 His career record was 29-38 ... so this season he's 13-2 His H/9, HR/9, BB/9 are all at career lows and by big margins. And did I mention he's a lefty? Plus it's a JdG start so the Mets are contractually obligated to not hit.

Fman99 Aug 31 2022 06:29 AM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Cheaters, like the Braves. Better PED masking. Robinson Cano is probably fuming right now about this.

That's a cool picture

it's a Mets baseball card from 1516.

Who is the LA pitching coach performing that magic? Last time I looked, they had the best team ERA by a wide margin. Later

INF Brett Baty underwent an MRI earlier today that revealed a UCL tear in his right thumb. He has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to August 29. He will undergo surgery tomorrow. A typical return to play for this type of injury is five weeks. Additional updates will be provided as appropriate. OF Terrance Gore has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #4.

MFS62 Aug 31 2022 04:49 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Terence Gore? They would have to add him to the 40 man roster. If they wanted a speed guy, why not Lee, who is already on the 40 man? And with Baty on the IL, it would be a perfect time to call up Vientos who plays 3B. You got a lot of 'Splainin' to do, Lucy. Later

ashie62 Aug 31 2022 05:09 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Baty is hurt already? Geez

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 05:27 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

I'm not sure there's an appropriate time to get hurt. I've never liked seeing 14 and 31 in circulation with the Dodgers. Now I'll just concentrate on 31.

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2022 05:29 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Anderson looks like he's going to give them fits.

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2022 05:34 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Don't like all these long fly balls off of Jake.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 05:34 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

4 of the first 6 outs via semi-deep FO's A bit unusual for JdG

whippoorwill Aug 31 2022 05:39 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

As long as they're outs

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 05:46 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 31 2022 05:48 PM

Has there EVER been more power potential in the 8 & 9 slots than Gallo & Bellinger? Both have hit 40+ in a season. Don't know but I'd bet against it.

Piazza's not even in the Dodgers HOF. He has a very strained relationship with the team and as of very recently, he hasnt ever been back to Dodgers Stadium other than as a Dodger opponent since he was traded to the Marlins. I assume that that streak is still intact, but I'm not 100% sure. Of course, Doc and Darryl's legacies and relationships with the Mets aren't exactly perfect either. But strictly based on their on the field accomplishments, if Keith's # deserves to be retired, theirs shoulda been retired long ago. And so long as Doc and Darryl's are still in circulation, it's batshit crazy that Carter's # hasn't been issued in more than 20 years going by on the field accomplishments. (It's batshit crazy that Carter's # is in mothballs period, no matter what other else.)

Stick that in Anderson's reduced HR rate and smoke it!

Allons-y, Alonso!

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 05:58 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Gary wondering if Anderson is a pitch tipper. Maybe the newly called-up Gore is helping them with that.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 06:04 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

3 innings's worth of pitches (45) to get thru 4 And I think he was at 17 after 1 so it's been about 9/per since.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 06:34 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Hanging slider is not the one to throw.

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2022 06:38 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Jake has seemed to weaken in the 6th inning every time.

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 31 2022 06:41 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Phew.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 06:49 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

The good thing is that we have Seventh-Inning deGrom available to replace Sixth-Inning deGrom. The bad thing is we gotta hit and hit and hit and hit and hit some more.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 06:50 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

deGrom has a get-me-over curve?

Wayne calling it a “play of the year candidate.”

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2022 06:56 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Zimmo went as apeshit as anybody in the stadium after that catch.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 06:57 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Sitting here thinking about all the times I've been told over the years that baseball is dull because there's not enough scoring.

And now Pumped Nimmo up with a risp.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:05 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

I'm feeling like the pitchcast isn't placing the pitches correctly as I'm seeing 'em.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:06 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

And yeah, I probably pinch-run for Nido here.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:07 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Otto for the eighth.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 07:10 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

8-9-1 for Otto: Gallo, Bellinger, Betts, Turner Don't want to see any of those guys on, particularly Betts & Turner, cuz they'll start running wild.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:12 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Suddenly, Otto has more confidence in his slider than deGrom had most of the game.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2022 07:16 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Mookie B's one weakness is that he has the worst excuse for a beard in MLB

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2022 07:17 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

1-2-3 for Ottavino. Timmy Trumpet warming in the bullpen.

The Hot Corner Aug 31 2022 07:19 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Whew. After fighting off several nasty 2 strike pitches, Betts strikes out chasing a slider that ended up a good 6 inches outside.

Marshmallowmilkshake Aug 31 2022 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Otto gets some Schaefer for that!

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

This doesn't look any easier (Trea Turner, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith) for Diaz in the ninth. Let's give him a pad.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:25 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Live walkup music is the future.

What an awesome, well played game by both teams. Had the intensity of a playoff game.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

In two hours and 19 minutes to boot.

This team is just so goddamn lovable.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 31 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

One of the great games of this season. I guess that's deGrom's margin for error: he can't allow more than one run to get the stupid Win.

Fman99 Aug 31 2022 07:33 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Great win for the good guys

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2022 07:35 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

While they were playing the trumpet solo for the third time, we were hoping that Diaz wouldn't get distracted. We needn't have worried. That was intense.

kcmets Aug 31 2022 07:38 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Wow, done by 9:33 or so. Flipping over to choppy Rockies feed, Braves up 3-sniffle after 8.

Willets Point Aug 31 2022 07:42 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

This was a most satisfying win.

Gwreck Aug 31 2022 07:48 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

A top-5 win for the season, no doubt.

batmagadanleadoff Aug 31 2022 09:45 PM Re: IGT 8/31/22 - LAD @ NYM

Tonight, we saw the advantage of having a historically tremendous pitcher like deGrom on the mound. You don't typically beat these Dodgers by scoring just two runs.

I just realized, and I don't know HOW, but I forgot to give Nimmo a little more cerveza for the catch. My bad, my senility and I own it.
