Nahhh. It's just a racket. Later

Ok, unofficial last week of summer and the Mets suck so no one is paying attention so I'll fess up early. Cordell Walker was the Chuck Norris fictional character on Walker, Texas Ranger. The real pitcher is: https://www.kcmets.net/CPF/TEX.png>Jon Gray RHP 8-7, 3.76 ERA, 111 SO

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 01:50 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Good one. And a stat line remarkably similar to Gray's real-life numbers.

Seager is leading the league in BA - .341 Lindor is gaining ground for shortstop on the NL All-star team. Later

I didn't get around to not getting the Cordell Walker reference (never watched the show) cuz I was too busy not getting the 'tennis, anyone'' reference. The Ranger [CROSSOUT]are[/CROSSOUT] were a good team. They lead the AL in runs scored (behind only ATL & LAD) and [CROSSOUT]are[/CROSSOUT] were in 1st place in the ALW for 111 straight days ... and then the last ten games happened. They lost eight straight and nine of ten and because of that stretch the season long race between Houston & Texas has been tilted towards ... Seattle! We're likely to not see Scherzer and I have it on good authority that we won't see deGrom either. But we will see Travis Jankowski who's getting only his third season of semi-regular playing time (266 PAs) and is putting up the best offensive numbers of his career. Now I grant you that his 97 OPS+ is a low bar to call 'best', but his college education was low bar too ... amirite folks? Ahh Stonybrook jokes, they just never get old.

Didn't realize, this is a WPIX 11 game. On a Monday?

ashie62 Aug 28 2023 04:46 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Note to Megill, these guys hit, alot

ashie62 Aug 28 2023 04:47 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Narvaez is due for homer, Vientos also

Funny, I recognize that guy on the bench next to the Texas manager.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 05:40 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

"Vogelbach and Stewart have added a lot of heft to the Mets lineup." OK, now cut that out, Gar.

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2023 05:40 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Vogelbach currently owns a higher BA than Pete for the season

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 05:48 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

It's suddenly time to put Rafael Ortega's face on the tickets.

ashie62 Aug 28 2023 05:55 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

NIMMO BOOM

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 05:56 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Two-out and a runner on first is a GREAT time to go deep, Nimmz.

ashie62 Aug 28 2023 05:59 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

So per Gary, Comcast owns a "part" of SNY I'm guessing they will be poaching more game for Peacock,vs subsidiary there of

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2023 06:06 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Good, but somewhat odd opening innings for Megill: his out have either been loud at'em balls or (mostly looking) Ks.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 06:50 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

They kind of hit on something with Megill. He tends to get touched with two out, or give up hits when he's ahead 0-2 or 1-2. That may mean he loses focus, or it may not.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 06:59 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Time for Gray to surrender at Appomattox.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:08 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

If Narváez didn't take five seconds to get out of the box, he'd have a bunt single.

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 28 2023 07:26 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Let's get some insurance

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2023 07:32 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

That's former NYM 2nd round (2001) draft pick Corey Ragsdale coaching 1st base for Texas. He never reached the majors but finished up his minor lg career in the Texas system (2008-09) so I guess he's been with them since.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:36 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

We've got what looks like a one-run lead in the ninth to protect. Where is Syndergaard when we need him?!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 28 2023 07:38 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Yeah no

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2023 07:38 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Well this isn't looking good.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:43 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

On 0 and 2 also. And Gott didn't check the runner at all. And Buck brings his infielders in?

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 28 2023 07:44 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

That was Lowe

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2023 07:48 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

So it's Alonso, Vogelbach, and probably Alvarez for Locastro. I'd feel better about that trio if either Alonso or Alvarez had a hit in the last three weeks.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:49 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

This whole thing about half the relievers being unavailable is untenable.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:53 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

I don't remember the last time I saw José LeClerc, but he still looks like a teenager.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:56 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

Those were all strikes, Vogey.

Frayed Knot Aug 28 2023 07:56 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

And, once again, we can blame the bullpen all we want, but the offense racked up 12 Ks and a whopping 4 hits.

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 07:59 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

No-dubbles defense ends it.

ashie62 Aug 28 2023 08:09 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

New depths. Trade Buck keep Alonso

Edgy MD Aug 28 2023 08:52 PM Re: IGT 08/28 - TEX @ NYM - Tennis, Anyone?

I'm not sure how that's a choice.
