IGT 8/7 Mets vs Rockies Do it again Paul Blackburn 8:40

[Fman99]

I am in Denver but opted to watch this one from my hotel. I am just too tired from work to endure two 45+ minute Uber rides and a ballpark crowd. Plus the forecast looked a bit touch and go.

Having said that, my hotel inexplicably does not carry the channel on which this game is being aired locally. I have to watch on my tablet despite this suite having two big televisions. So that's stupid. They are carrying FS1 which has the SD/PIT Game. In Denver. What the actual hell is that all about

TRIVIA QUESTION: Who was the first Mets position player to make the All-Star Team three times?

I'm going with Stoins.

It's Stearns. And if the question asked for the first Mets position player to make the All-Star Team four times, I think the answer would also be Stearns.

8:40 is in the thread title

Great. Check out the eagle eyes on Cooby. You must've been the only one here to have noticed that. Thanks. So I only have to scan through my 1,000 channels for just the 8:40 time slot to figure out what channel the game's on. That'll help.

Happy to help :)

I went to pee and the lead was lost.

[Edgy MD]

They've got to chase Noah Davis. They can't let this emergency pitcher coast.

[Frayed Knot]

We've been making far too many meh-ish pitchers, replacement pitchers, and middle relievers look very good for about a week now.

Lead-off hit - ground out - ground out - ground out

I've seen this movie before. And I don't like how it ends.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets have been Chasened.

Missed Monday’s game. Which means I’ve watched four straight games of frustration.

Big hotel on the outskirts of town? Are you in the Gaylord Conference Center?

[Edgy MD]

Gamel gets down the line.

[Edgy MD]

New strategy — stop hitting anything within reach of an infielder.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff single: ground out - ground out - K


OK these were harder than most ... but sooner or later you need to get the ball out of the infield more than two or three times a game.

[Frayed Knot]

The Rox have advanced more leadoff base runners with no ABs completed than we did in our last six ABs

[Centerfield]

Interesting strategy to give the Rockies the extra inning runner to start each inning.

[Edgy MD]

It's not like the Mets aren't getting the leadoff runner on and stranding him also.

But let's get Butto some support here.

[Frayed Knot]

Give us your tired, your weak, your relievers with 6+ ERAs, we will give them solace and redemption.

[Edgy MD]

Mets have had 10 groundouts to three flyouts.

[Frayed Knot]

Rox catcher is giving targets two feet out of the strike zone ... and I don't blame him.

[Frayed Knot]

Just pathetic w/the bats

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have had 10 groundouts to three flyouts.

And 8 hits, all singles, only three since the second inning. One walk.

[Centerfield]

James Jean having as rough a night as the Mets bats. We’ll take it I guess.

[Edgy MD]

Iglesias, Álvarez, Gamel, Taylor due up in the ninth.

Bader, Martinez, Vientos, and Torrens all available off the benchsicle.

[Frayed Knot]

The last NYM batter to get the ball out of the infield prior to Alvarez ... was Alvarez.
