That thing where the Mets sat Marte? And they didn't use him to pinch-hit medium-late in the game when they could have used him? Because they seemingly wanted to give him a "full" day off? But then they pinch-ran-him the ninth? And he ended up getting caught stealing? And upending their last, best threat? And ending their utterly inconsequential-but-curiously-novel streak of consecutive stolen bases? Well, maybe that wasn't really a thing. But now they're sitting him again. So maybe now it's a thing.

Yeah, Marte has looked out of sorts for a while, don't want to say he looked lazy at times in the field but he kinda did

A swoon reminds me of gently fainting. June was a fucking face plant. Let's kick some ass starting in July. LETS Later

Keith also insists that he's still got his bat speed, but not to my eye, he doesn't. He seems to me to have that late-career-stage bat-drag of Julio Franco and Rickey Henderson, and that's why he's chasing the sliders down, the sliders away, and the sliders down and away. He's compensating by starting his swing early, and he's already forced to make a commitment before identifying the pitch.

I had read* that as hitters get older, they have a tough time against a variety of pitches.. So they concentrate on hitting one particular pitch (fastball, curve or slider) and swinging at it. It could be that he has decided that the slider is his pitch, but if he is having trouble hitting it, it might be the time to take up golf. Later * = one of the Brosnan books? Ball Four ?

Grateful for a barbecue later so I don't have to watch. I need about 80 more barbecues, though.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 02:13 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Why is Baty taking so much time to throw to first? Oh, right, Wilmer running.

Mets Nice catch by Matos to rob Pham of extra bases

metirish Jul 01 2023 02:44 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Alvarez goes deep , oppo field

metirish Jul 01 2023 02:49 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Nimmo goes deep 2-0

metirish Jul 01 2023 02:51 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Holy crap , Lindor goes deep ( I'm not making this up)

whippoorwill Jul 01 2023 02:52 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Sounds like it's getting exciting!

metirish Jul 01 2023 02:59 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Excited to see how they manage to lose today

metirish Jul 01 2023 03:07 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Pham drives in Pete , 4-0

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 03:13 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

I've kind of been in an unwitting -3 mindset. A two-run lead feels like a one-run deficit; a three-run lead feels like a tie; a one-run deficit feels like a four-run deficit; etc. So, a four-run lead feels like a ... lead! I mean, it just feels like a one-run lead, but it's a lead!

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 03:17 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Hey, sweet! A technical double-play!

So it's a clock violation unless you start your motion before time runs out. And yet Manaea starting his motion within time even though he didn't finish it. Not quite sure how they justify that interpretation of the new rules.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 03:33 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Yeah, that should be considered a ball, but because him releasing it should make it a legal pitch — not because of the clock.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2023 03:46 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

But, pre-pitch clock, it was considered a nothing burger so long as the bases were empty. With runner(s) on it's obviously a balk and still would be.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 03:46 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Alonso is probably never gonna appear at third.

metirish Jul 01 2023 03:51 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Squeaky bum time here , running out of gas

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2023 03:54 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

I'm sure I wasn't the only one to say 'here we go' following the Alonso error.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 03:55 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Sno-Cone strikeout to end the seventh!

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2023 03:55 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

And the 'Vanilla Cone' strikeout ends the inning.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 03:59 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Of course, when the lead closes to 4–1, it feels like a tie.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 04:06 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Joc Pederson doesn't like to make outs.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 04:11 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Giants out-hitting the Mets, 5–4. Each team has only one walk, too.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 04:18 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Ninth inning — not a happy time to add Walk #2.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 04:18 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

But a super double play ends it!!! July rools!!!

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 04:20 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Not so fast, huh?

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 04:21 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

AND HEY!!! VICTOIRE!

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2023 04:24 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Just in case you were wondering what new ways they might invent to lose a game, THAT ONE would have been a doozy! 2:10 btw

metirish Jul 01 2023 04:32 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

Nice crisp game ( as note above) deep starting pitching, keep it going

Edgy MD Jul 01 2023 07:12 PM Re: IGT 7/1 Mets v Giants Mets on pace for 71 wins, for now

On a pace for 72 wins now. We need a SHaMs thread!
