I mentioned it in the Syracuse thread but Mauricio is being broken in at 3B in addition to 2B and LF. I don't know how much SS he plays anymore, if any. This has to have gotten Baty's attention Mauricio has been blocked at SS since Lindor came over in 2021. Why they waited this long to move the kid around the infield is anyone's guess

Nimmo CF Alvarez C Lindor SS Alonso 1B McNeil RF Almonte DH Vientos 3B Araúz 2B Ortega LF - Peterson LHP (3-7, 5.65)

One pitch, one run. What fun!

Well if Baty is in AAA and somebody else is playing third base, I would hope it's gotten his attention.



I think the general thinking is that you don't move a prospect to a less defensively valuable position until you don't have a choice.

So the good news is he struck out the side ...

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 05:50 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Saved from back-to-back walks in the third by what has to be the most generous called strike I've seen this season followed by a 6-4-3.

Apu in the house!

I don't understand what the Mets are trying to accomplish with these 50-60 pitch outings by Peterson I don't know that it helps them win when the start provides marginal length

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 07:03 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

David Wright doesn't project that sweet voice very well.

Cubs go to the pen as Met hitters seem happy to get out from under the Kyle Hendricks experience.

Mets looking alive all of a sudden, its the David Wright Magic!

nymr83 Aug 09 2023 07:09 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Wright was I guess technically "teammates" with McNeil and Nimmo on account of his 3 Plate appearances in 2018, and those are the last 2 teammates he has left in the orgamization.

It may be my ears, but I have to turn up the volume whenever Wright speaks and turn it back down whenever GKR responds.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 09 2023 07:18 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Wright can't project because he knows he's not saying anything of substance

Yeah, but he gott out of the inning scoreless.

I'm liking Cuas' stuff.

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 07:40 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Almonte kind of puts me in mind of a lefthanded Juan Uribe. He's a veteran carrying some extra weight and he swings really hard. Mark Vientos coming to the plate with one foot on the interstate.

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 07:42 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Both feet.

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 07:51 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Josh Walker starting to look like a big-leaguer.

I have a sudden hankering to buy something from the Haugland Group. I have no idea what they sell but I want to buy one.

Terrible. The walk was not unexpected. The balk was just not knowing the rules. Unacceptable.

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 08:05 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Ottavino looking like he forgot his vitamin.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 09 2023 08:06 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

How's this gonna end

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 08:14 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

It's not gonna end with Nico Hoerner. Bicky wanted nothing to do with that guy.

Nice job, Bickford.

Frayed Knot Aug 09 2023 08:20 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Rare to see a 4-3 8-1/2 inning game top 3 hours these days. Of course that one replay review was responsible for at least 25 minutes by itself.

Edgy MD Aug 09 2023 08:28 PM Re: IGT 08/09 - Cubs at Mets- Time for the Black Cat

Buck to Otto: "Try to get your head in the game." Otto: "Got it, Skip. I can get this guy." Buck: "No, I mean, go have a seat in the dugout and try to get your head in the game."

While we were watching this thriller, Blade Tidwell, in only his second game up from Brooklyn, pitched Binghamton into first place. Jeremiah Johnson, whose contract came to the Mets in the Dominic Leone trade, had the big blow with a two-run homer in the fourth.
