A lot. A lotta lot. That's his fifth GiDP this year. I would have guessed his 12th.

We're at 100% in our GiDP success tonight: 2 ABs in GiDP situations/2 GiDPs I'm convinced we league the league in such. And if data proves me wrong I'll declare them to be fraudulent.

Among other differences between last year and this is that our challenge success rate has gone from like 80% to about 6%

Our good field, no hit 1B cost the team a run. Like Guillorme on Muncy's single, these defensive-only players have to make every play.

Marte really must be sick if he's not batting for Guillorme. Maybe he has the shits like Edgy's dog.

I know that's not the first popup Baty has ever seen, but I suspect that was the first popup Baty has ever seen.

You watch and think "they can't play any worse" and then you watch the next game and they do.

Slick relay, Francisco, but we coulda used you on that popup.

1st & 3rd, 1 out - we hit an IF pop up and it kills the inning - they hit an IF pop up snd it leads to multiple runs

And a ball to Baty's face.

Frayed Knot Jul 15 2023 08:42 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

We hit into multiple GIDPs but give up runs because we can't turn one We lose runs by hitting IF pop-ups, they Gain runs by hitting IF pop-ups

bmfc1 Jul 15 2023 08:43 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

AJ P. is right: Lindor should have been at 3B. He was standing around ass-uming the catch would be made when he should have been covering the bag.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 15 2023 08:44 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

Lindor was heading towards 3rd, the problem was the ball was heading towards SS at the same time.

bmfc1 Jul 15 2023 08:51 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

"Heading"? He had enough time to book a reservation on 3B. He was drifting toward 3d and being a spectator. The drop isn't on him b/if he was there he could have called off Baty.

bmfc1 Jul 15 2023 08:55 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

This game reminds me of the Friday night game in Philadelphia when Nimmo missed a ball and Lindor missed a popup. The Mets gave that one away and they gave this one away. Give Pete and Jeff tomorrow off.

Frayed Knot Jul 15 2023 08:57 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

If Lindor was quicker towards 3rd it would have taken him further from the ball. The bigger problem was that Baty started out by playing the pop as if it were going to land in foul territory rather than 30 ft fair.

Edgy MD Jul 15 2023 09:16 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

I think that maybe he shouldn't have been quicker to third, but quicker to the ball.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 15 2023 09:47 PM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

Nimmo's on a mashing tear. Six HRs in his last 14 games. Plus two that he just missed. One in yesterday's game and a 425+ foot blast in Philly just before the ASG break that couldn't quite clear the part of the outfield wall that was 20 or 25 feet high.

True but what happened to his trying to work out walks? He often swings at the first pitch now. I'm not complaining about the HRs but his approach seems to have changed.

Edgy MD Jul 16 2023 07:56 AM Re: IGT - 7/15/2023 LA_ @NYM Showing Some Spirit

Yeah, I'm seeing it that way, also. We're trading a lot for solo homers. Although that was an excellent at bat leading to a homer on a two-strike curve.
