i don't agree with that analysis, even if I didn't like the lineup yesterday

metirish May 24 2023 02:54 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Yeah, I need to start thread of awful Twitter takes

I'd personally try to find a way to avoid awful Twitter takes in the first place, but to each his own.

We will all be inside and very warm watching this game. Thank you very much

Edgy MD May 24 2023 05:32 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Keith looks like he's been crying.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 05:44 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Stroman pitched all three batters the same way. Got all three on sliders down and in.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 06:03 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Time to turn 3

Edgy MD May 24 2023 06:03 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Mike Tauchman looks like the return of Neil Walker.

Frayed Knot May 24 2023 06:06 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Lots o' pitches thrown by Senga thus far. Very few by Stroman.

Frayed Knot May 24 2023 06:11 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Looks like Stroman spent a good chunk of his FA dollars on neck tats.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 06:11 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

We have a rookie with power also.

kcmets May 24 2023 06:12 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Alvarez be like what wind is everyone talking about...

Edgy MD May 24 2023 06:15 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

It seemed to come off the handle a little bit, too. Lotta muscle on that shot.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 06:18 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Bill Miller behind home plate has what looks like a nasty cat-scratch on his forearm.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 06:27 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Boooo

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 06:33 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Booooo

kcmets May 24 2023 06:38 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Pretty dumb baserunning by Pete, thankfully he didn't get hurt.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 06:42 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Senga coughing up that lead immediately really burns my gut

kcmets May 24 2023 06:49 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Senga! Say it with me!

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 06:49 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Senga getting out of his own jams is nicer

Frayed Knot May 24 2023 06:51 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Senga getting out of his own jams is nicer Yeah, but that's gotta be it for him tonight.

MFS62 May 24 2023 07:02 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Can't see the game, just saw the box score. To use an old baseball line, is Senga throwing that many pitches because he wants to keep warm, or is he getting squeezed by the ump? Later

kcmets May 24 2023 07:04 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

The Mets need to score runs. Lotsa them! NOW!!!

Frayed Knot May 24 2023 07:07 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Pitches thru 5 innings Senga -106 Stroman - 49

kcmets May 24 2023 07:08 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

bifl, nimms

kcmets May 24 2023 07:10 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

I hope Nimmo was 'bunting on his own' and not at the direction of the bench. Total quick shitting of the bed...

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:13 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Smiff's 95 MPH seems to come in a little harder.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:14 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Smith hung the hell out of that one. Also, Keith knows Carly Simon.

kcmets May 24 2023 07:14 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Goes out harder too, against 'the wind.'

kcmets May 24 2023 07:23 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Sorry to be gloomy, feels like they should be down 9-2 but it's only 4-2 with three innings to play...

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:34 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Álvarez hitting cleanup next inning.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:39 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

I approve, Marte.

Frayed Knot May 24 2023 07:42 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Edgy MD wrote: I approve, Marte. Like Gary said, you have to make it if you're going there. But with the combo of Stroman and Vogelbach producing a 98.6% odds of a GIDP, it was a worthwhile gamble.

nymr83 May 24 2023 07:43 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

that was ball 5 to Canha, good AB from him not chasing after the ump called a shitty strike 1.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:43 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Pinch-run Locastro for Canha. Or something.

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 07:44 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Nertz

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:45 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Shouda squeezed. Or squozen.

metirish May 24 2023 07:45 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Man Stroman

Johnny Lunchbucket May 24 2023 07:46 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

He's the man right now

Edgy MD May 24 2023 07:56 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Stroman, Stroman! 'stro! 'stro!

batmagadanleadoff May 24 2023 08:08 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

I just wanna note for the official record of this here forum, my vehement disapproval of this strict blanket command not to ever swing at the first pitch when down in the late innings. I'm sick to here of reading it like every other game.. Sometimes the first pitch is a very hittable pitch. Maybe even a meatball. And the fucking batter who had seen about a zillion pitches in his life knows more than I do and you do. What if the batter thinks he can crush it and won't get a better pitch to hit? Me, I'll gripe when he swings at a bad pitch.

Edgy MD May 24 2023 08:41 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

It has nothing to do with whether or not it's a good pitch. There are a lot of things I know and you know that other people — even professionals in their field — don't know.

kcmets May 24 2023 08:49 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

Anyway, it's a crime that tomorrow is not an afternoon game.

Edgy MD wrote: There are a lot of things I know and you know that other people — even professionals in their field — don't know. I know. It's just my style. But it is about the pitch. If the batter thinks it's a great pitch to hit he should swing, I think. This is a case by case, pitch by pitch, batter by batter situation, not some fixed and rigid rule. Otherwise, the manager would flash the "take" sign. He doesn't because he knows that the batter, often, should be given discretion.

Senga is the second coming of Kaz Matsui

I'm guessing Scherzer

Edgy MD May 25 2023 10:49 AM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

He did seem kind of clueless pointing at himself after his defense turned two to bail him out. He induced a grounder, and that's good on him, but it took three fast-working guys to finish the job for him. On the other hand, criticizing opponent behavior anonymously makes me think "Show some class; be a professional."

Fman99 May 25 2023 12:37 PM Re: Mets @ Cubs IGT 5/24

He's a jackass. I rooted hard for him and enjoyed watching him in his two years here but he can fuck right off these days.
