IGT 08/19 BAL at NYM - Pigeons are Tougher than Orioles

[metirish]

Keith can't help himself, getting the kid relaxed

[Frayed Knot]

And in his spare time Kingston is working on nuclear fusion.

[metirish]

He's very good, I mean he sings for the Met chorus, this is nothing

[Frayed Knot]

Not particularly thrilled with that bunt.
Marte also tried bunting with 2 outs and no one on in his first AB

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kingston obsessed withe pitch count but otherwise 👍

[metirish]

I do like how he agrees with a yeah every time Keith says something

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah that was a good skill, the pbp man who makes his color guys look bad.

[Frayed Knot]

Kingston obsessed withe pitch count but otherwise 👍

He also, like, said like a lot, like all the time.

[Edgy MD]

Kingston getting an AL team is a tough draw.

Peterson at 71 pitches through five is helpful.

[Edgy MD]

Chasing the starter early in Game One is always nice.

Not sure what made the O's so hot for Trevor Rogers.

[Frayed Knot]

Peterson at 71 pitches through five is helpful.

Yeah, although Mendy has shown a quick hook with Peterson even when RA and pitch counts are low.

[Edgy MD]

True, but hey, we're through 5 2/3 innings now. That's like a complete game for Peterson in 2024.

[metirish]

Alvarez is lost

[Frayed Knot]

Alvarez is lost

Last HR July 26th
Previous HR June 26th
I predict he'll break out a week from today (cuz, y'know, it's the 19th today)

[Edgy MD]

Well, that turned fast.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that suxx x2

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Mendy can't win with this palooka

[batmagadanleadoff]

Alvarez is lost

Maybe he's playing hurt. Maybe he hasn't fully recovered from the injury that sidelined him for more than a month earlier this season. Maybe he's now well enough to play but that the injury is still hindering him.

I dunno.

[Frayed Knot]

What's this 'you have to declare' shit?
Ronnie just talked about having to declare whether you're going to pitch from the stretch or the windup with a runner on 3rd

WHY?

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Gary, we're making their nondescript middle relievers look like world beaters so the O's might not need any of their top guys.

[Edgy MD]

Vientos seems to like catching popups.

[metirish]

Alvarez is lost

Maybe he's playing hurt. Maybe he hasn't fully recovered from the injury that sidelined him for more than a month earlier this season. Maybe he's now well enough to play but that the injury is still hindering him.

I dunno.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

[Frayed Knot]

OK, here's where home field advantage kicks in, we've got two ABs to their one.

[Edgy MD]

Paste one here, Alonso.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Gary, we're making their nondescript middle relievers look like world beaters so the O's might not need any of their top guys.

Eight outs recorded by Baltimore relievers, six by K


Make it 9/7

10/8
