IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Frayed Knot Sep 03 2022 05:07 AM

The combo of Max Scherzer & Patrick Corbin once struck fear into the hearts of Nats opponents. Now those same two strike fear into the hearts of the Nats themselves. Game time is at 7:10 because Saturday afternoon baseball is now apparently illegal. Hijinx will ensue.

good, I'm busy most of the day but should be able to listen/watch by 7 or 8. [FIMG=400]http://www.ceetar.com/optimisticmetsfan/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/DALL·E-2022-09-01-10.01.06-New-York-Mets-World-Series-Baseball-Card-from-the-year-1517.png[/FIMG]

This better not be a 1-0 game. Step on the gas against Corbin, Metsies.

The Hot Corner Sep 03 2022 12:13 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Hopefully, the Mets will give Max five or six runs to work with so the team can enjoy a less stressful game.

Well, that was not optimal, Max.

Yeah he's settled in since then. I have every confidence that we'll get 10 runs off of this gas can

Listen, I probably shouldn't say anything because I might jinx it, but suddenly, I'm able to watch the Mets play the Nats on mlb.tv ... without getting blacked out!

Lefty Specialist Sep 03 2022 06:16 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Scherzer getting squeezed by the ump, but he perseveres.

Edgy MD Sep 03 2022 06:29 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

McCann outstealing Nimmo, 3–0.

Edgy MD Sep 03 2022 06:31 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Well, fucko, Scherzer's out.

Fman99 Sep 03 2022 06:32 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Yah right into the tunnel, five innings and 67 pitches, only means some type of injury. Hoping it's not another seven week oblique injury. Christ

ashie62 Sep 03 2022 06:36 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

67 pitches, is Max hurt?

ashie62 Sep 03 2022 06:37 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Max is 37

Lefty Specialist Sep 03 2022 06:38 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

This could really, really suck.

Edgy MD Sep 03 2022 06:38 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

It would appear that, yes, he is hurting. Called Hefner over and disappeared into the tunnel.

Fman99 Sep 03 2022 06:39 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Hunter dancing around trouble there.

ashie62 Sep 03 2022 06:40 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Max with a blister? Hunter had been warming up prior

Fman99 Sep 03 2022 06:42 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

He didn't look to be favoring any part of his body, or wincing or looking pained that I could discern.

Lefty Specialist Sep 03 2022 06:43 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

A blister would be wonderful. I fear a recurrence of the oblique. I don't think he'd charge down the tunnel if it was a blister.

They know that Corbin is horrible, right? The absence of any offense tonight is upsetting.

That was an awful at bat by Voggie.

Starting to see why Vogelbach has moved around so much.....

Lefty Specialist Sep 03 2022 07:27 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

This is a very frustrating game.

Fman99 Sep 03 2022 07:30 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Scherzer came out with "fatigue to his left side" as per Gary. Whatever that means. They are theorizing that it relates to his high pitch count on his last start prior to tonight.

Fman99 Sep 03 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Ugh. Medina teeing it up. At least one team is hitting balls hard tonight

bmfc1 Sep 03 2022 07:35 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Medina won't be with them tomorrow when Carrasco returns. Perhaps Williams would have been a better choice but Buck didn't have a lot of options.

Mark Cahna takes a strike when his team is down in the ninth. I think that makes him my new make-believe boyfriend.

Naquin doesn't. He's my new make-believe arch-enemy.

Corbin's ERA DROPPED to 6.16!!! How bad has the hitting been lately? The DH spot has been unproductive. Is it Venitos time yet? Later

The Hot Corner Sep 03 2022 08:16 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Why does it seem that whenever DeGrom or Scherzer takes the mound, the offense seems to basically take the night off? Medina was apparently throwing batting practice. Why is Buck using the unproven AAA relievers instead of getting an inning or two from Trevor Williams? The only thing i can think of is he doesn't expect Carrasco to go very deep in tomorrows game so he was saving Williams to back him up tomorrow.

kcmets Sep 03 2022 09:29 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Nobody wants to say it in post 49...

kcmets Sep 03 2022 09:30 PM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

....but in post 50, worst loss of the season.

MFS62 Sep 04 2022 06:56 AM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

I'd like to know what "left side fatigue" means. Let side - where? Is it his landing leg? Is it his non-throwing arm? Is is the left side of his torso? In the post game presser, Buck said it may be because he threw so many pitches in his last start. There are things on the left side that would impede his delivery and others that shouldn't. Inquiring minds want to know if this is going to be a sword of Damocles that hangs over thee rest of the season. Late

kcmets Sep 04 2022 07:13 AM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Dumbed down (solely by me here) is he shut himself down knowing he wasn't firing-on-all-eight last night and was looking forward to the next time and bigger things that are coming in the fall. (I may be irrationally rationalizing, but I do that)

MFS62 Sep 04 2022 07:33 AM Re: IGT on September 3 -- Nats @ Mets

Hope you're right. But I'm a half empty glass kind of guy, and the wording troubled me. Later

The only thing i can think of is he doesn't expect Carrasco to go very deep in tomorrows game so he was saving Williams to back him up tomorrow. I think this is probably a pretty solid understanding. One thing that's been gleaned about Buck's philosophy from his feedback is that he focuses more on winning the series than the game, and so saves his bullets for the most ideal situation. I don't necessarily agree with that, and I certainly don't agree with last night's outcome, but the team's record in series certainly represents him well enough. The offense's failure to make any late statements makes it a more general philosophical subject than one specific to this game. Losing 2-1 or losing 10-1 amounted to the same.
