Re: IGT, ATL@NYM 2024-05-12: Mama Told Me Not to Come

There's nothing quite like a guy getting picked off and pointing to the dugout calling on his manager to challenge on his behalf, and his manager is all, "No, youse out."

ESPN showed a picture of Ozuna and his mother. She must be so proud:

On May 29, 2021, Ozuna was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after Sandy Springs Police claimed to witness him grabbing his wife by the neck and throwing her against a wall.[42][43] The charges were later withdrawn after completion of a diversion program. This resulted in Ozuna receiving a 20-game suspension which he served retroactively during the 2021 season.[44] This followed another incident that occurred almost a year prior when Guzman was arrested on her own domestic battery charge against her husband, hitting him with a soap dish which caused a small laceration on his face.[45]

At 4 a.m. on August 19, 2022, Ozuna was arrested again and charged with driving under the influence after Norcross Police noticed his inability to stay in his lane.

Between this, and that he was hitting .085/.194/.203 in early May last year, there were calls for the club to get rid of him.
And then he started hitting so all was forgiven and/or forgotten.

Nice inning by SR-G, a couple Ks marred by an inherited runner scoring via a weak seeing-eye single.

[Frayed Knot]

We scored a leadoff base-runner!!

[Frayed Knot]

We scored a leadoff base-runner!!

And then stranded the second runner by spending the next three ABs not getting the ball past the pitcher's mound.

[Frayed Knot]

Pick-offs should be counted the same as caught steals.
Cuz Acuna is killing his team's run scoring chances tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know what we didn't need there Otto ... a freakin' leadoff walk!!

Y'know what we didn't need there Otto ... a freakin' leadoff walk!!

To a player the Mets cut. And they've walked him twice! And he's scored twice!

Dammit

They said "here comes Ozuna" and my face crunkled right up

Makes me want to puke. Of course it wouldn’t matter if the Mets could score at all.

Riley leaves the game early so we use that break to award his replacement 1st base twice.

As mentioned in yesterday's IGT, I wonder if closer Rasiel Iglesias is available. 23 & 25 pitches the last two games.
That's 3-1/2 innings worth of pitches in two innings over two days.

His .063-hitting replacement.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, it's not like you go up there thinking he's going to hurt you by pitching to him.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't really want to claim this as a 'moral victory' simply because we didn't fall behind early with little chance to catch up.
Let's win this fucker!!

[metirish]

What's up with the sound?

[Edgy MD]

Bunt singles are the answer.

[Frayed Knot]

Clap! Clap! Clap!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

McNeil doing what needed to be done. He doesn't look like he's even close to heating up as a hitter

[Edgy MD]

But don't sacrifice with the corners closing. Hit it down their throats.
