IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

My IGT record has been lousy lately. Time to break the hex. Dane Dunning 9-6 3.36 Denyi Reyes 0-2 7.50 6:40 PM on SNY Buckle up. LGM Later

Does the earlier start (why is still a mystery) mean that the offense will take an extra half hour to wake up? Cuz if that happens then the first decent contact won't occur until the middle of the post-game spread.

MFS62 Aug 30 2023 04:30 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

That's a scary thought. Later

No baserunners in the 1st inning, but they did manage to get one ball out of the infield ... which is, like, one over their usual quota.

Travel rules are the root of the start time. http://es.pn/2gJfzIZ

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2023 05:17 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

Travel rules are the root of the start time. http://es.pn/2gJfzIZ I actually knew that, but moving start time up by an entire half hour with the idea that it's going to help the road team on a getaway day (which is actually on off-day) seems beyond silly.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2023 05:17 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

José Quintana pronounces "zone" as "sun." Which is cool, because he describes the key his game as "attack the sun early," which sounds really badass.

Fman99 Aug 30 2023 06:04 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

Deni Reyes with the strong start, bucking his life trend

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2023 06:12 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

So we've had two runs taken off the board by bounces over the fence. The first one, with two outs, was followed by an inning ending GO The second,, with one out, was followed by an IW then a GiDP So instead of opening the game up with a hit in EITHER situation, we hit into 3 outs on 2 pitches snd are on the verge of having the game get away from us the other way.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2023 06:24 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

What a weird half inning.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2023 06:35 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

So, is his name really pronounce DEN-jee or is that just Gary jay-or-EES-ing again

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2023 06:42 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

Is our IF/ground ball rate following leadoff walks/singles up over 90% this season or does it just seem that way?

Edgy MD Aug 30 2023 06:44 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

There's a way around that. TC Bear wins tonight's Great Mascot Race.

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2023 06:47 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

In the last seven-plus games, the Mets have scored a total of 16 runs. Ten of those runs have come via eight HRs. Of the other six, one came on an error (the SB fuckup by LAA) and one was an IF 1B. So they have Four RBI non-HR hits in the last three series.

This bullpen is gross

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that.

Those missed opportunities are going to haunt them. Later

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2023 06:56 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

So other than failing at every opportunity to add to add to their lead, and handing the Rangers every opportunity to erase their lead ... this has been a pretty well played game by the home team.

Fman99 Aug 30 2023 06:59 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

It's nice that they can get two outs and get your hopes up a bit before they take a big shit on TV. Nice job fellers

Frayed Knot Aug 30 2023 07:01 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

Oh good, another free baserunner!

3 runs on 3 singles for the Rangers that inning. Mets have 3 runs on 2 HRs + 2 doubles, + 6 singles

Fun Will Smith Fact: if you need a Texas Ranger who is a career .300 hitter to fill out your immaculate grid, Will Smith is your guy, having gone 1-for-2 on his career.

Edgy MD Aug 30 2023 07:40 PM Re: IGT 08/30 Texas at Mets - Because Somebody Has To

I like squaring to bunt and pulling the bat away to help your runner steal second.

And yet another in a string of NYM clutch hits with the game on the line, aka: an IF PO.

D.J. Stewart due up third in the bottom of the inning. Just sayin'.

There's only one way to follow up a half inning like that, and that's stranding the ghost runner with pop-ups and Ks

All catchers should be able to bunt. Bunting is just catching with the bat.

Two key runs lost to doubles bouncing over the wall. Two key runs scored on bases-loaded doinks. Strange game.
