IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 25 2023 06:10 AM

The Mets return home and have "TBD" on the mound to face the Nationals and the debut of the Tuesday Night Mets Club (418, row 1, sweet). The Nats are 7-14, 7 games out, and starting Josiah Gray who's already 0-4 (but pitched a little better than that). Gray is a native New Yorker. Looking for Steve to come through with his promise to make the ugly patch come in Mets colors.

The super-big scoreboard hopefully takes a moment to replay super-big moments by super-big Dom Smith.

bmfc1 Apr 25 2023 06:59 AM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

We know that Dom will get a tribute video. Will Trevor Williams? Jose Butto can't be recalled until 5/2 unless there is an injury. I'm going with "Tommy Hunter" and "back spasms".

Yah this would be my guess - someone goes on the "least good player" injured list and Jose "I Like Big" Butto comes up to pitch, based on his last performance which was better than I expected.

kcmets Apr 25 2023 08:35 AM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

TBD throws a filthy slow-change curve ball. Saw him several times a few years back in Fishkill and he was baffling!

I respect Williams (like Lugo) for choosing to go somewhere he could be a starting pitcher but man, the Mets could use him this year.

Draftkings has Butto pitching, for now anyway Happy to use Butto as Sp2 in dfs tonight LGM!

The Mets could really use Lugo too, right about now.

MLB sites still have TBD going. If gambling sites are more up to date

than the official sites then things are more stupid scary than I thought.

bmfc1 Apr 25 2023 12:47 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

It's Uceta and ankle sprains.

Butto will see you now.

Yeah, that would be a dick of a request to ask Hunter to go away for two weeks again, after he just got relaunched.

Anybody want to show off how much you know about the 2023 Nationals?

I thought Escobar might get the DH nod tonight

That's rough, spraining your ankle while walking into the managers office to be told you are on the DL

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 02:07 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

The Nats Carter Kieboom is now 25 and has had a terrible time of it. He was a top shelf prospect who could not get over the hump in his first extended taste of MLB During spring training of 2022 he was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his throwing arm. It was later determined that he had blown out his UCL and had surgery that ended that years campaign for him Fast forward to this year's spring training and Kieboom got into a game and injured his shoulder in the repaired arm. The Nats said this setback was related to the shoulder issue. He just doesn't have enough strength to make the throws at 3B and he is on the shelf again. On top he has been a Mendoza line hitter at best That's a bad beat

bmfc1 Apr 25 2023 02:19 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

That's two games in a row with Guillorme, great glove, meh bat, starting instead of Canha against a righty.

kcmets Apr 25 2023 03:55 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Anyways, I'm happy about a normal game at a normal time tonight.

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 05:24 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Butto throwing meatballs

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 06:05 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Very quiet here, Butto about done Baty booted that to miss a DP chance but what an arm to get the out at first

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 06:06 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Throw a freaking strike

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 06:08 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Butto gets the big out, only 2-0 them Mets be battin

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 06:28 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Mets be scoreless. Nats be battin'.

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2023 06:40 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Marte's looked lost all night. Nice spot to turn it around.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 06:40 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Bezez loaded here in the fifth. That walk is brought to me by Total Ortho Express, where you can just walk in!

kcmets Apr 25 2023 06:42 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Marte leavin' bases jammed. This is not going as I planned.

bmfc1 Apr 25 2023 06:43 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

The pitch was in the dirt. What a shit AB. They know they're playing a bunch of minor leaguers, right?

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 06:44 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

On my lineup card, Marte has long ago been dropped down to sixth in the order. For what it's worth, he's raking out of that spot.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 06:49 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Kinda flat and sloppy for a team that had a night off.

kcmets Apr 25 2023 06:52 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Guillorme with another episode of dyslexic defense.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 07:03 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Man that bottom of the sixth went in a blip, huh?

Cowtipper Apr 25 2023 07:09 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Gee whiz, a Quadruple-A pitcher with a 5.92 career ERA in the majors like Yacabonis totally imploding. Color me shocked. The Mets' early-season pitcher call ups have been suspect, to say the least.

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 07:10 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Poor Francisco Alvarez is getting battered behind the plate. He, Baty and many are having a very rough night

ashie62 Apr 25 2023 07:11 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Cowtipper sighting, moooo

Frayed Knot Apr 25 2023 07:11 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Other than hitting and pitching and catching the ball, they're playing pretty well tonight.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 07:36 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Howie Rose spends the eighth inning complaining about the absence of "Piano Man" during the seventh-inning stretch. Not the worst part of the night, Howie.

Baty the tying run in the bottom of the ninth.

Mets up Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor! No Tommy Hunter knows it isn't over, hopefully the guys that hit also know it's not over

There's one guy on. Looking ahead, Guillorme is your winning run.

bmfc1 Apr 25 2023 07:44 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Three losses in a row. Steve can spend all the money he has and they still started three minor leaguers in a row.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 07:44 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

More motivation to pursue Ohtani. They need top-line pitching. There's none of that in the near future from down below and Scherzer and Verlander will very likely decline soon if that's not happening already.

It was as much a whine about Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" as the new selection as it was about the Majesty of Joel, but come on, Howie.

kcmets Apr 25 2023 08:34 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Not familiar with one Backstreet Boys song. I know lyric for lyric of two dozen Joel songs. Just don't particularly like him much.

Edgy MD Apr 25 2023 09:58 PM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

Even if I loved the guy and his catalog to pieces, it's just such a downer of a song for the seventh-inning stretch, and I don't see how the decision-makers (and Howie, for that matter) miss that.

Had this thought too. From your start of spring training rotation, four fifths of them are suspended or injured.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 26 2023 05:54 AM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

The Plano Man thing is the 8th inning. They're calling it the karaoke thing so would look to be a variety of songs. No kiss cam that I saw but I did get up to use the men's room and could have missed it. Nothing good to say about the game, crowd tried getting behind them a few times but team looked like zombies. Marte especially looking lost. Guillorme is fun to watch with the glove. Baty is not. The Murrays Mac & cheese didn't make it back. And I think the fried chicken sandwich too I completed my crappy night by tripping on the stairs and scraping up both hands.

Edgy MD Apr 26 2023 07:56 AM Re: IGT Mets-Nats 4/25

The team looked like zombies to me and I was following on radio. That said, if a pitcher is starting in the major leagues, he's major league pitcher, and all three of those starters the Mets have used the last three games have big games behind them and in front of them. The whole roster came up empty last night. Even Carlton '72 wasn't going to win if his team didn't score.
