I know if I don't open this now I'll probably forget...

Now that's a scary looking offense

bmfc1 Sep 08 2022 08:38 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Edward Cabrera (RHP) goes for the Marlins and he is good. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-marlins/2022/09/09/661337#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661337 Pete has two HR's off him but those were from last year and Pete's a singles and doubles hitter now (prove me wrong, Pete!).

McNuggins in the three-hole. Lubbit.

MFS62 Sep 09 2022 05:24 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Mets down 2-0 after 2. Rain delay for St. Lucie. Why can't that rain come to Miami? Later

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 05:41 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Keith doing The Count is $$.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 05:59 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Peterson is piling up the strikeouts, but getting hit hard when he isn't. Also, this is a really fast field.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 06:01 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Wow. He gets the hook after 3 2/3.

ashie62 Sep 09 2022 06:03 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Every crap effort from here on is one game closer to a wild card bid

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 06:05 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Not all efforts that don't work out are, by definition, crap efforts.

ashie62 Sep 09 2022 06:15 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

This one is headed that way Young Marlins pitchers seem to feast on the Mets Cabrera does have some serious ability LGM!

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 06:19 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Marins are getting around. I don't understand "heading that way." Peterson's game is done. Either he gave a crap effort or he didn't.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 06:36 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Well THAT makes this night a whole lot less gloomy ... at least for now.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 06:36 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

I like that. Lindor drives one deepish to left for the out. McNeil goes even harder and deeper to left, still for the out. And Alonso smashes a third to left, thirty rows deep. Staying with it.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 09 2022 06:45 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

That guy is too old to be waving toilet paper around at the ballpark.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 06:49 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Thanks for two baserunning outs, Marlins.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 06:50 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Bye Bye Berti

Gwreck Sep 09 2022 06:57 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Escobar looks totally lost against the lefty.

Gwreck Sep 09 2022 06:57 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

…and promptly singles.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:01 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

I was kind of thinking hit-and-run on the 2-and-1 count, and Nido goes and singles. SHOULDA RUN!

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 07:02 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

There was just a mound visit (by the catcher) ONE PITCH AGO and now the P.C. needs to come out!!!!

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:03 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

He gets to third anyhow on the walk by Scott. Huge opportunity with the heart of the order up, bases loaded, and the Marlins going to their third reliever.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 07:05 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

And now here's the third mound visit in a four pitch span only this one, instead of eating up 30-40 seconds, will ensure nearly 3 minutes where nothing happens. And THIS can't be fixed when you're trying to pare away dead time?!?!?!?

Willets Point Sep 09 2022 07:07 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Crap.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:07 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Shoulda just bunted!

Lefty Specialist Sep 09 2022 07:08 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

HUGE dump taken by Lindor.

ashie62 Sep 09 2022 07:08 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

That sucked

ashie62 Sep 09 2022 07:13 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022 Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Sep 09 2022 07:13 PM

1-6-4-3 DP Yeah!

Willets Point Sep 09 2022 07:13 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Sweet DP. Now score runs.

Willets Point Sep 09 2022 07:18 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Lead off beaning followed by obligatory pan to Buck.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 07:21 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

If you're trying to avoid killer GIDPs, you'd probably choose to send up McNeil and Lindor up to do it.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:23 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Eighth inning. Not sure Naquin should be batting here, but I'm not sure what alternatives are available.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 07:26 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

They're going to have to do it in the 9th with the bottom of the order.

Gwreck Sep 09 2022 07:29 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Edgy MD wrote: Eighth inning. Not sure Naquin should be batting here, but I'm not sure what alternatives are available. Exactly. Playing short without Marte, and then there's Gore who can't hit. One wonders about bench construction…

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:32 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Sploot.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 07:33 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

So this easy schedule thing is working out well. The Braves have to be laughing themselves silly.

Lefty Specialist Sep 09 2022 07:36 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Joely Rodriguez, in a word, sucks. Not getting one or two competent lefty relievers is one of the big failures this year.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 09 2022 07:36 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

What's with the slanted knob on Darin Ruf's bat?

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:38 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

It's a thing now. A lot of Mets players are rocking the slantknob.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:41 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

That was a Casey Stengel pitching change. "I'm not tired, Buck." "Well, I'm tired of you"

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 07:46 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Don't swing at the first strike when the tying run is behind you in the ninth. A recording offered as a public service.

ashie62 Sep 09 2022 07:51 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Buck may throw a chair

Lefty Specialist Sep 09 2022 07:53 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Would have been nice to see Vientos at DH instead of Ruf and Vogelbach flailing and failing these past few weeks. This team is Archie Bell and the Drells.

bmfc1 Sep 09 2022 07:59 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

I think that JD Davis has 4 HR for SF and Ruf has 4 hits for the Mets. Great job, Billy. That might have been the most tedious, most frustrating game of the year.

Frayed Knot Sep 09 2022 08:13 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Yeah, we just got out hit by the worst hitting team in the league, they had more XBHs than we had hits, our starter sucked and we hit into two killer GIDPs. But, what the hell, let's convince ourselves that it's all Joely Rodriguez's fault.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 08:42 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Yeah, every bullpen has a guy having a lesser season than the other guys, and he becomes a lightning rod. But they were behind when he came into the game. The whole bullpen was available. If everybody (or even half of everybody) else gets their job done, Rodriguez never sees this game. Anyhow, I support him and his right to have DNA.

We watched Vientos at Syracuse tonight and he hit a ridiculous HR to deep center that bounced about 3/4 of the way up on the batter's eye. It was a blast.

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 09:07 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

I think we see Vientos by the time this series is out. Although, a problem is that he hasn't seen any outfield time this season. He played a dozen games there in 2021, but maybe that was enough to convince them that he couldn't cut it.

Fman99 Sep 09 2022 09:09 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Here's some video footage of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiTgI0rjlaS/

Edgy MD Sep 09 2022 09:11 PM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

That's gorgeous. And if he can't play outfield, McNeil or Escobar can.

ashie62 Sep 10 2022 12:41 AM Re: IGT Mets at Miami September 9, 2022

Braves win. Mets in second place
