IGT 7/23 Mets at NYY - Keep it Going

[Edgy MD]

It's funny, but it seems like in the era of the automatic intentional walk, the intentional walk has been a lot more uncommonly used.

[metirish]

To my surprise this is on the Max app (HBO ) TNT feed

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

You're DED

[Frayed Knot]

Nunez for President!!!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Gotta get something here.

[Edgy MD]

Torrens needs revens.

[Frayed Knot]

I agree with sticking with Torrens here.
Alvarez is cold and there's still a 9th inning so there may yet be a spot to use him later.

[Gwreck]

Alvarez has to hit for Taylor here, right? Unless Alvarez is hurt?

[Edgy MD]

DJ should get this at-bat.

[nymr83]

Alvarez has to hit for Taylor here, right? Unless Alvarez is hurt?

I would have used him, oh well

[Frayed Knot]

2-0 to T.T. ... TAKE!!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Stinky

[Edgy MD]

Wow.

We got Weavered. Woven. Whatever.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

That might come back to haunt us.

Gameday makes it appear both of those pitches were low.

[nymr83]

Striking out after a 3-0 count. yikes.

[Chad ochoseis]

Well, that sure sucked.

[Lefty Specialist]

Oy. Nut-crushing.

[Frayed Knot]

No BB, no HBP, therefore no runs.
If the Mets were even an average hitting team with the bases loaded they'd probably be three to five games higher in the standings.
Oh-for-four just tonight alone.

[Gwreck]

DJ should get this at-bat.

He needs to be replaced on the roster.

[Edgy MD]

Well, if a one-run lead in the eighth doesn't mean you bring in Ol' 88, Phil Maton, I don't know what.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I never heard of this Wells fella

[Frayed Knot]

Allowed the walk so he wasn't quite an AutoMaton, but he was close.
Unfortunately that one baserunner means Judge will bat in the 9th.

[Edgy MD]

Diekman is about to be thrown into the furnace.

It'd be nice to score nine or ten here.

[Lefty Specialist]

Diekman in the 9th. Me scared.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ole!
