IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Edgy MD Apr 16 2023 07:37 PM

The New York Mets Western Retribution Tour takes us Los Angeles, where we seek to serve up a tall cool glass of revenge lager that's been 35 years in the brewing. David Peterson goes against Dustin May. Brett Baty hasn't been officially announced to be joining the team, but nobody's denied it either. The Dodgers have no promotion scheduled. But if you're in town, nonfiction writer Alissa Quart and comic actress Annabelle Gurwitch will be appearing at Chevalier's Book before the game where they will discuss our obsession with self-reliance, but you probably think you don't need that sort of thing. Book event starts at 6:00 PM Pacific Time, with the game at 7:10, so the turnaround might be tricky. If anybody want to KTE this showdown, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it, but once you get started, let us know, so two posters are duplicating each other's work.

Hopefully I'll see an inning or two , not much for staying up past 10pm these days

Not up for a full KTE, but the Dodgers have a bunch of new, and mostly unknown, faces replacing some departed and more famous ones. Gone are Justin Turner, Trea Turner (don't think Nat, Ike, or Tina are on the present roster either), Kike Hernandez and Clay Bellinger C - Will Smith but he was just put on the concussion IL so won't appear 1B - FFF 2B & SS feature a couple of Miguels, Vargas & Rojas, neither one of whom is hitting 3B - Max Muncy is hitting, at least for power. 6 of his 11 hits (.204 BA) are HRs OF - David Peralta, James Outman, Mookie Betts DH - JD Martinez Team is just 8-8 despite a favorable RS/RA ratio and is coming off losing two of three at home vs Cubs where they scored 2, 2, and 2 runs, winning only the final game on a walk-off on a 2-out/bottom 9 David Peralta single Their RS/G is 6th best in MLB to date despite some feeble BAs in the lineup Their RA/G sits 9th best which is a little more expected

I record all the games and Fast Forward as well. Find it much more enjoyable

to watch in the morning at 5:00 am with a hot cup o' joe than trying to stay up

past 1:00 on a Monday night.

anyone awake for this one? VOGELBOOM!

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 08:42 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Awake and tuned in.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 08:44 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Mary Hart and Burt Sugarman in their usual seats.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 08:45 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

And that deletes that lead.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 09:03 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Three hits by righthanded bats so far, when May had only allowed four such hits so far this season. And the Mets tie things up with an HbP and two hard singles. Still none out. They might be able to run this guy.

nymr83 Apr 17 2023 09:06 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Vogelback gets another run home, this one hit not quite as hard

nymr83 Apr 17 2023 09:09 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Baty RBI!

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 09:10 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Chasing this guy would be gold.

Marshmallowmilkshake Apr 17 2023 09:11 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Baty! May's delivery is goofy looking.

Fixed it for you.

His hair is so fine, and his face so red, I really can't detect any visible eyebrows.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 09:21 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

If May was able to come up with that ball, Nimmo might well have been called for being out of the baseline. Stay in your lane, kids.

metsmarathon Apr 17 2023 09:25 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Did Nimmo look like he came up just a tad lame after that play at second?

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 09:26 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Nimmo certainly ought to have slud. Interesting that those were two challenge-able calls the Mets opted out of that inning.

Marshmallowmilkshake Apr 17 2023 09:26 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

That was messy.

Freddy freaking Freeman.

Well, that's what I get for stepping away.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 09:39 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Well, that brings the bullpen into the game.

Frayed Knot Apr 17 2023 09:40 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Two two-out two-RBI hits are ruining Peterson's night.

nymr83 Apr 17 2023 09:46 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

I like seeing Peterson back out for the 6th here - he has given up 5 runs - but big picture he hasn't walked anyone and has allowed two bombs to an MVP, so he isn't pitching too badly - let him pitch!

Nimmo is King of the Dribblers.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 09:59 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Bloated bases, nobiddy out, and the heart of the order. I'll take a single run. We'll talk about more after that. I'm not gonna be greedy.

I was just about to say that we need multiple runs here. Bags loaded, heart of the order, etc oe: well there's the first

nymr83 Apr 17 2023 10:01 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

and we balked home a run? ok...

Didn't see that coming.

Pete!

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 10:13 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Three relievers so far for the Dodgers. Way to be in game one of a series.

Edgy MD Apr 17 2023 10:27 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

I'm going to bed with hope in my heart. G'night.

Frayed Knot Apr 17 2023 10:30 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Didn't think I'd make it to the 5th ... but here I am.

Frayed Knot Apr 17 2023 11:02 PM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Let the record show that this game was inserted into a book at 1:01 AM Tuesday morning.

Fman99 Apr 18 2023 03:12 AM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

I watched YouTube TV's 23 or so "key plays" this morning. Was in bed before 10 PM so that'll have to do this week.

metirish Apr 18 2023 03:54 AM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Same here

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 18 2023 05:23 AM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

did the Mets fast forward this morning. I liked that they took it to 'em

Lefty Specialist Apr 18 2023 05:59 AM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

There's nothing better than DVRing and then fast forwarding through Fast Forward. I watched the game in like 30 minutes and got all the juicy bits. Glad to see Vogey off the schneid, and they managed to avoid pitching Robertson. Lotsa hits, too. FFF gonna FFF, though. Good job Metsies.

kcmets Apr 18 2023 07:36 AM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Did the MFF thing too, sometimes it's just what the doctor ordered. How 'bout that Brandon Nimmo all-star centerfielder guy!?!

whippoorwill Apr 18 2023 08:41 AM Re: IGT — NYM@LAD, 4/17/2023, 1988 Coming Back with a Vengeance

Lol I can remember Dad and I staying up for these late games and then getting up in the morning, he for work, I for school, night after night. Half the time they lost, too. Life is simpler now
