IGT July 30, Mets vs Twins, bouncing back again.

My guess is that he gets one batter in the eighth.

Or possibly zero.

You were off by one.

[Edgy MD]

Damn, you can't unscramble those eggs.

[Frayed Knot]

Stanek is listed at 6' 4" but he looks huger than that.

[Edgy MD]

Well, he'd certainly looked like he can play above the rim on that error.

I called this Manaea's best game of the season, but I suspect it's all Mets starters' best game of the season.

[Edgy MD]

Sometimes, even when a game doesn't need managing, a manager has to manage.

[Edgy MD]

If they are chasing Diaz' slider out of the strike zone, I'm happy.

Of course, if he's got to get to 3-and-2 before they do that, I'm not that happy.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd feel a lot better about this inning if Diaz wasn't starting it following nine high-leverage pitches and an up/down.

[Edgy MD]

Tuesday Night Baseball!!

[Frayed Knot]

The Bader backpedal ends the game.

[Cowtipper]

I think I originally stated, at the beginning of this year, the Mets would go 92-70. I'm slowly reverting back to that prediction.

I'd feel a lot better about this inning if Diaz wasn't starting it following nine high-leverage pitches and an up/down.

I'd like to see the science behind whatever the alleged effect of up/downs (which are really down/ups) are.

[Frayed Knot]

NYM pitchers hold the Twins, the 7th highest scoring team in MLB, to two runs in 18 innings.

So would I. But I also couldn't resist getting an 'up/down' reference in.
