IGT, 2024-04-16 PIT@NYM, Love You Till Tuesday

[Edgy MD]

The Pirates return for more abuse before screaming and unbridled fanaticism of the denizens of the Tuesday Night Mets Club. Lefty José Quintana goes for the Mets against an as-yet-unnamed starter for the Pirates.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We'll be in 424. This TNMC is a special rain-check game from last season.

[metirish]

FYI , sounds cool

[kcmets]

That's some fun DVRng news!

[Edgy MD]

The previously un-named Pirate stater will be young righthander Jared Jones, a second-round pick from 2020 who has struck out 25 and walked only two thus far in his 18-inning rookie campaign.

[Edgy MD]

A swing-and-miss pitcher, and a catcher who has demonstrated a capacity to sleep on the job.

Bunt a little. Steal a little. Make a little contact. Make a little havoc.

Win a little game. Give me your heart and I'll love you till Tuesday.

[Edgy MD]

Tough series if your name is Connor Joe.

[Frayed Knot]

Where were you throwing, why did you slow?
What were you thinking Connor Wy Joe?



His real middle name is Kok-Wy but I shortened it to make the verse scan better

[Edgy MD]

Much better series if your name is Harrison Bader.

[Edgy MD]

It's probably a good thing that the Pirates got a hit here in the third. It would have been a mess if the Mets got a no-hitter after Joe wiped Reynolds first-inning hit off the board.

[Edgy MD]

Probably a better thing that McNeil turned that double-play.

[ashie62]

Jared Jones was drafted out of high school in 2020

That's a fairly quick ascent to MLB

[ashie62]

Much better series if your name is Harrison Bader.

The Special Master

[Fman99]

This kid throwing for Pittsburgh has some filthy stuff

[Fman99]

Another great sideline interview, today with Jack Fisher, who will throw out tomorrow's first pitch to commemorate 60 years since Shea opened.

I should sound so together at age 85.

[Edgy MD]

Jack Fisher looking good.

[ashie62]

Quintana has gotten a lot of outs without his plus stuff

Jack Fisher Jerry Buchek are the first of my Mets memories

[ashie62]

The pulling of Jared Jones could be the best thing that could happen to the Mets tonight

[Fman99]

Garrett making Bucs look goofy out there

[Frayed Knot]

The pulling of Jared Jones could be the best thing that could happen to the Mets tonight

Yeah, but we can pop out against anyone.

[Fman99]

Baty lifted for reasons not yet known to GKR

[Fman99]

Challenge rules are stupid, part 93. Mets cannot challenge the fact that the runner was clearly on the grass and illegally making his way up the line

[Edgy MD]

I cursed this game by posting a vid of the third-rate Bowie song that gives the thread it's name.

This here is about atonement.

[Edgy MD]

And Blondie gets us in business here in the bottom of the seventh.

Unfortunately, Jimmy Destri is out with hamstring tightness.
