Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2023 03:39 PM

Yes there's a game today. I thought it might be canceled due to a lack of interest but apparently they've going to make 'em play it. Giants are a weird team. They stumbled after those trio of championships and wrung up losing seasons from 2017 thru 2020 (hey, it happens). But they then followed that with a stunning 107-win season in 2021 (albeit w/playoff failure) only to plummet back to 81-81 last year. This year they again looked mediocre at best in April (11-16) but have gone 34-20 since including 17-8 in June while of course we're heading in the opposite direction. Mets split a four game series out there in April you may recall (NYM won first two, SFG the final pair) but that was before we decided to vie for worst team in baseball honors. Alex Cobb [RH, 5-2, 3.09, 1.37] in 14 starts (is just coming off the IL) faces Carlos Carrasco [less good numbers] JD Davis likely to play, Michael Conforto more iffy. I think this is my first IGT of the season and my overall record with the IGTs at the CPF is approximately 4 - 167 (unofficial total) so have a discussion among yourselves as to who starts tomorrow's thread cuz it's unlikely to be me.

Same lineup More rest for Alvarez Hoping Cookie can go six

Let's go Mets

Mets don't give up a first inning run, and score a first inning run, wow , we are back

ashie62 Jun 30 2023 05:37 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Sort of 1-1

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2023 05:40 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

What could be more Joon Swoon than the top 2nd there? - miss the inning ending GIDP by about 4 inches - then go two-out H -- RBI H -- BB ... before finally getting out of it

ashie62 Jun 30 2023 05:42 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Giants brain fart

ashie62 Jun 30 2023 05:43 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Canha sucks

ashie62 Jun 30 2023 05:44 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

It's a lead Mrs Walker it's a lead

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2023 05:55 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Canha not sucking there.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:14 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Canha's awesome. I just spent the first inning or so watching the end of The Seven Samurai, and the last few innings on the phone with MLB.tv, who often inexplicably block me whenever the Mets play San Francisco Bay-area teams. What'd I miss?

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:17 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Baty just got a McNeil hit.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:21 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

I'm gonna be generous and give Nimmo credit for a pullback there.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:23 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

I'mma give Wilmer credit for a homer, there.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2023 06:25 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Unlike the previous drive, I knew that one had enough to get out having seen enough Wilmer shots over the years which always seem to stay up forever.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:26 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Don't gimme that third-time-around-the-order flim-flam, Gary.

Davis doesn't get the friendly welcome home that Wilmer got. Let us proceed to reclaim that lead.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:32 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Conforto may have thought he'd be a Met his whole career, but he also chose to play out his walk year and reject the qualifying offer.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:33 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Matos giveth. Matos taketh away.

metirish Jun 30 2023 06:33 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

I honestly thought Gelbs was crying talking about Conforto

Fan interference on Johnny Lawrence

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:36 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

That guy is TOTALLY Johnny. And that was totally a Johnny move, too. Nimmo gets the gimme!!

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 06:38 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

I'm not sure how the replay umps are going to decide whether to overturn this. It's totally a judgment call. There's not "clear and convincing evidence" either way. There can't be. It's scrambled eggs.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2023 06:38 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

I'd be steamed if that call went against us ... but Sabol in LF shouldn't be stopping by calling the pkay himself. Play first, ask later. That said, that this is reviewable is absurd.

Mendick batting for Vogey. When Marte gets a night off, he gets the night off.

I was just about to say that Pete's error opening the door to blowing the lead would be the Jooniest thing ever.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 07:30 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

I'm thankful there is no June 31.

I think we've got another run in us tonight ... but only if this game goes 17 innings.

And, once again, they do Exactly what is needed exactly When it is needed in order to lose.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2023 08:07 PM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

Hey, I had to call headquarters and plead my case with Oscar at the other end and listen to hold music and reset my modem just for the right to witness that loss.

I don't think there really is any evidence for either assertion.

Mets are 15 ahead of Oakland, for now

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 07:46 AM Re: Joon Swoon IGT 6/30/23 - Giants @ Mets

If anybody wants to bet me on whether the Mets will finish ahead of Oakland, I'm ready for some action.

The weird thing is that two and a half hours later, smashie started today's IGT with: =ashie62 post_id=130513 time=1688217837 user_id=90] New month Maybe a positive July surprise after a dismal June Justin Verlander goes against Anthony DeScalfani today at 4:05

So it's challenging dichotomy he's presented us with.
