IGT 4/2/2025 (#6): NYM@MIA — Holmes Before Home

[Frayed Knot]

Torrens should have plowed the catcher there.
It IS permitted even under the new rules if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Alonso getting some pitches to hit.

[Edgy MD]

And that was one too many pitches to hit.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alonso is carrying this sorry club

[Frayed Knot]

Pete was pretty damn sure that one was gone for a ball that just barely snuck over the fence.

[metirish]

Big Pete

[MFS62]

A hot Polar bear is a thing of beauty.

Pete was pretty damn sure that one was gone for a ball that just barely snuck over the fence.

And had that one gone Off the fence rather than over it Pete's got himself a very long single which is NOT a forgivable sin in that situation where he's the tying run.

Cmon Baty!!

[Gwreck]

I haven’t been able to watch. Why is Diaz pitching the 8th inning of a tied game?

[metirish]

Dammit

[Edgy MD]

Maybe it was a bad decision to let Baty practice that play with Lucas Duda.

[Edgy MD]

OUT!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Holy shit do the Marlins get screwed over there

[Frayed Knot]

I haven’t been able to watch. Why is Diaz pitching the 8th inning of a tied game?

He was already warmed up to get some work in with the off day tomorrow so it was logical to bring him in once the HR happened.
iow, he was coming into the bottom 8th no matter what happened.

[Edgy MD]

What an inning by Torrens!!!

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm not missing Francisco Alvarez very much at all.

[Frayed Knot]

Holy shit do the Marlins get screwed over there

I think he probably was out there (I didn't think so at first) but was it "definitive"?
Let's put it this way, I'd be bitching about it if the unis were reversed on that play.

I tend to think that's a good spot for him under any circumstances.

[Edgy MD]

I miss Garrett Cooper.

[Frayed Knot]

I tend to think that's a good spot for him under any circumstances.

Yup, the 8th is as important as the 9th in that situation.


Gary just credited Torrens with "throwing out all three stolen base attempts" against him this season.
But shouldn't the leadoff steal in bottom 8th there go against his record even though they never made a throw?
I mean, he clearly stole the base off Diaz but that happens all the time. I suspect Gary just misspoke.

[Frayed Knot]

Buttosattva, won't you take me by the hand




Hey, we made a clean infield play!!!

[Edgy MD]

Stay in your lane, Soto. Do not chase. Alonso is behind you and hot.

[Frayed Knot]

Woof!

1st & 3rd / none out and never came close to scoring.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pathetic. We should already have lost.
