IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Edgy MD May 18 2023 02:15 PM

The Gardaí make their first visit to Citi Field under their new name, as their old teammate Carlos Carrasco comes off the Injured List to pitch agin' them. Cal Quantrill, son of Paul, goes for Cleveland. Cal, a rare second-generation Canadian MLB'er, has only appeared once before against the Mets, getting hit hard back in 2019.

Nice. Mets will also be playing with an acute case of .500 Fever.

MFS62 May 18 2023 04:16 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Cal is a righty pitcher, like his dad was. Later

Chad ochoseis May 19 2023 09:32 AM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

I really should be prepared with a KTE for youse guys, but it's been a busy couple of months with the new job and I've barely had time to pay attention to the Mets, much less my adopted AL team from my adopted city. Briefly, they're good at everything except hitting. Emanuel Clase has a good case for best major league closer without a torn patellar tendon. They all catch-n-throw pretty well. The rotation is above average. Giménez is turning into the good field no hit middle infielder we always knew he could be. I believe Amed Rosario is on the active roster but warming the bench.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 19 2023 09:43 AM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Looks like Rosario is playing regularly but killing them with a .280 OBP. Gimenez had a much better year last year than this so far. Also not quite as phenomenal this year is Steven Kwan. Bieber who we see on Sunday is their best dude still.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 19 2023 10:42 AM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

All clubs this weekend are to be wearing green military caps and optional camo socks for Armed Forces Day. This is something I wish MLB wouldn't do

Edgy MD May 19 2023 11:23 AM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Yeah, it's kinda forced and gross kinda sorta. Much more fun when one team wants to rock rainbows and another wants to rock camo, and still another wants to wear autism ribbons. Whether it's a cause I believe in or not, it certainly doesn't feel meaningfully endorsed when that endorsement is universal and compulsory.

This is something I wish MLB wouldn't do i think it would be a lot cooler if each team got to wear a uniform in the colors of one of the various armed services. like, i'd love to be seeing the coast guard mets play the space force guardians. how fucking cool would that be? on the other hand, i'm of a mind to generally agree with the anti-military-camo uniforms. i mean, it's certainly fine and proper to support the troops and blah blah blah, but this always tends to veer just a little too close to flag-fucking.

I caught the end of a sportscast that said Rosario may not play - bereavement leave. I'm ok with caps in the colors of the branch of the service of the team's choice. But I'd stop it there. Later

After Senga's and Megill's outings, wary that Carrasco is going to be a buzz kill with his 8.5x ERA.

G-Fafif May 19 2023 04:01 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Josh Walker goes down to make room for Carrasco. Michael Perez optioned to make room for Sanchez, as Locastro does something to his thumb diving into a base and goes on the 60-day.

Edgy MD May 19 2023 04:15 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

That's a crap turn of events for Locastro. I'm pretty sure that he was still officially on a rehab assignment. Does his 60-day period get backdated to his original IL designation?

ashie62 May 19 2023 04:22 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Not a big fan of patches logos and such Gimenez made the all star team last season I will still take Lindor over the traded guys Of bigger concern is which Carrasco will show up. Hopefully the one that can go at least three innings

Frayed Knot May 19 2023 05:31 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Well at least they fought back well in the bottom half of the inning by putting a ball in play (nearly out of the infield!) and getting Quantrill's pitch count into double digits.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 19 2023 05:33 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Carrasco has to be one of the least successful starters the Mets have had in a long time.

Cy Carrasco cruised through the third! Let's score some runs.

Edgy MD May 19 2023 05:47 PM Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19

Took until the third inning for Carrasco to show up. Part of the thing with all these first-inning holes is that Mets pitchers returning from the Injured List or suspension seem to take a few innings to settle in the first start or two. That's possibly a bunch of bullshit, but I dunno. Seems-a like it.

MiLB is in partnership with this. I'll be going there tomorrow. Probably better military uniforms, and it will be fun for the kiddies. MiLB's continued partnership with Marvel Entertainment will present “Marvel's Defenders of the Diamond” campaign, where the Yard Goats will wear special edition Marvel Super Hero-branded jerseys on-field during the game with other Marvel-themed activities and promotions taking place throughout the game. The “Marvel's Defenders of the Diamond” game will take place on May 18th and the Yard Goats will be dressed in a Marvel themed Yard Goats jersey for their game against the Boston Red Sox affiliate, the Portland Sea Dogs.
