Baty hitting 5th, I dig it

Lefty Specialist May 13 2023 11:31 AM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

Just sprinkly around DC right now, so hoping for the best. And hoping the Mets get more than a sprinkling of runs.

Edgy MD May 13 2023 11:36 AM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

Most interesting is the flipping of Jeff McNeil and Delroy Lindor, and the 2023 debut of Michael Perez, but I like Vogelbach fifth. I prefer rookies just hitting, without increasing the likelihood of game-tilting situations falling into their laps. Strange that MLB.tv gave me the SNY feed last night. They've always treated games against the Nats as in my "area." I hope this is an indication that I'll get Mets/Nats games from now on.

MFS62 May 13 2023 11:48 AM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

I can understand wanting to put as many lefty hitters in the lineup as possible, but if I were manager I'd only substitute Perez for Alvarez at gunpoint. Later

Edgy MD May 13 2023 11:59 AM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

Well, it's generally an accepted reality that catchers cannot play as often as other players.

ashie62 May 13 2023 12:01 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

Alvarez will start tomorrow

kcmets May 13 2023 12:13 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

My initial reaction was who the hell is Perez?

Yeah, it's Trevor Williams, not Nolan Ryan. But I guess you can't play him every single day.

Yeah. Looks like they're getting some spray. We've had rain most all of the day here in Baltimore.

[CROSSOUT]Three[/CROSSOUT] Four batters in, and the hole is happening again. Keith is suddenly pronouncing Perez with the R mostly sounded as a D, which is more consistent with most Spanish-speaking Latin-American countries.

Lucchesi seemed to have his grip on about 45% of the pitches that inning, as opposed to 30–35% in the first inning.

Lefty Specialist May 13 2023 02:43 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

Ninety-nine percent of MLB players historically score from first on that double. Daniel Vogelbach, you crazy one-percenter.

batmagadanleadoff May 13 2023 02:46 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

If not for this sudden rain delay, they woulda hadda bring out an oxygen tank for Vogelbach, who went first to third.

We gave up and went to a sports bar in Woodley Park to dry off. Still in a delay, still raining. Probably another hour or so if they're willing to wait that long.

Frayed Knot May 13 2023 06:45 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

This has been nearly four hours by this point. They can't really be serious about waiting this out longer xan they? Unless the forecast suxx for tomorrow too (and it may) 15 innings tomorrow sounds better than trying to wedge six more in tonight.

Lefty Specialist May 13 2023 06:51 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

They suspended the game and will play it tomorrow as part of a split doubleheader. Except that we have brunch reservations for Mother's Day at that time, so we lose everything. What a bunch of steaming bullshit. At least we didn't stay there in the rain for 4 1/2 hours to hear it.

bmfc1 May 13 2023 08:17 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

As one of those that sat in the ballpark for 4 hours yesterday, what gets me is that it obviously didn't have to happen: the weather forecast was right so we saw that it would start to rain at 4 and end at 7—starting the game on time led to the postponement as the field became unplayable. WSH could have decided in the early afternoon that the game would begin at 7 and all would have been fine... or they could have called it as there were plenty of alternatives: 1) 2 games on Sunday; 2) 2 games Monday; 3) better yet, the Mets return in September for games on the 5th and 6th. Oddly, both teams are off on Labor Day and home the previous day so a game on Labor Day fits perfectly; 4) if not, both teams are off on the 7th (yes, 2 days off that week). The Mets are in MIN on the 8th so a day game on the 7th would have worked, too. Instead, WSH chose the worst option by starting on time.

I don't know whose call this is ultimately but even attempting this game at 4 PM was dumb. It was raining hard and steady right out of the gate.

Lebanese Taverna and Mama Ayesha's are both still there and are both delicious in their own way. There's been a lot of restaurant upheaval in the neighborhood, but those have survived. Got Federalist Pig for lunch over in Adams Morgan before the rain moved in. Awesome barbecue (chef's kiss).

Many people across baseball are upset with how the Nationals dealt with the rain delay. The Nats Twitter page did not have updates during the delay Don't know who will pitch for the Mets, is Butto around? Two hours until resumption

Surely it's only a matter of days. They keep creating situations to win multiple times per game, just not converting. Hopefully Scherzer (I believe he's due to pitch) can keep it close again later today. Let's go Mets!

bmfc1 May 14 2023 03:05 PM Re: IGT 5/13 Mets @ Nats Weather Issues Lucchesi vs Williams

Mama Leone serves up a meatball Because Buck thought that a guy they found on waivers who had shoulder discomfort just two days ago should pitch two innings in a tie game even though the better relievers were rested. Buck continues to mismanage the bullpen in the name of a "long season". Now, that season is one game shorter.
