IGT 08/02 - NYM @ KCR - Clever Sub-line Withheld Pt 1

[Edgy MD]

Stranding is a sin.

[Frayed Knot]

I don't know what an Arauz is.

That's a pity, and I'm sorry. On the other hand, it can be an issue if you are Arauzed for more than four hours.

To Arauze apparently means to K on three pitches.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil is going to take all this stranding personally if it keeps up.

[Frayed Knot]

Eight of our first 21 ABs, nearly 40%, have come with runners on 1st & 2nd ... and all eight have been completely fruitless.

[Edgy MD]

It always surprises me to see how big Salvador Perez is. You don't get catchers that big and he seems to keep growing.

Good for the Mets that he runs like it, though.

[Edgy MD]

Not slow enough, says the crew in Chelsea.

[Frayed Knot]

Another call overturned by 'definitive' evidence that was anything but definitive.

[Edgy MD]

"Trades are part of the game!!" says Keith, who was traded at 29 years old, and only reported to his new team, called his agent and asked if he had enough money to retire instead. And then, after his first game or two with his new team, was crying in the shower.

They're a part of the game, but a crappy part, that doesn't have to be a part at all.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vientos is meat

[Edgy MD]

It's not that Vientos missed the tag, it's that he was out of position off the bag in the first place.

He's a two-way player!

[Frayed Knot]

So sucking at pitching, hitting, and defense apparently isn't enough. We're now oh-for-two tonight in tagging runners who were beat by the throw.

[kcmets]

Kinda sucking against one of the worst teams in baseball. Yay.

[Edgy MD]

Two more cracks to find their dignity.

[Methead]

The only thing missing is a popup hitting someone in the face.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, not only would I not be offended by the barefoot guy in the hotel, there's a decent chance that I would be the barefoot guy in the hotel.

[kcmets]

Inning ending double play.

I'm glued to my seat!!

[Edgy MD]

Bickford kind of falls off the mound like he's going to end up on his face after the pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

Bickford kind of falls off the mound like he's going to end up on his face after the pitch.

And he kind of did on that one.

[Edgy MD]

btw, not only would I not be offended by the barefoot guy in the hotel, there's a decent chance that I would be the barefoot guy in the hotel.

I got myself locked out of my room in a hotel, headed down to the lobby barefoot in my PJ bottoms and tee-shirt to get a replacement key card, and in front of me in the line at the front desk was John Thompson. I rolled my toes under my feet in terror that he would step on them.

[Edgy MD]

Bickford has the opposite of the unibrow, sort of rocking a solid two and half inches between his brows.



He'd like to know if you're talking to him. Then who the hell else are you talking to?

[Frayed Knot]

That HR was essentially meaningless cuz we weren't scoring three runs if this game went 20 innings.

[Edgy MD]

Take a strike, Vogelbach.

[Edgy MD]

And there we are — a life.

[kcmets]

At least it was quick, I'm kinda tired...

[Edgy MD]

And one last FUCK! from Jeff McNeil to make the evening complete.
