IGT 08/22 - Mets at Padres - First Of Four Biggies

[Edgy MD]

Great to get a second run, but I'm wondering why Iglesias and Machado were canoodling at third.

[Edgy MD]

Look at the English on that RBI infield single by Jeff!

[Edgy MD]

If you're up, you're watching the Pads brewing up trouble in the fifth.

[Edgy MD]

And the Mets get two outs on a bases-loaded scorcher.

If they can get out of this with only one run home, then happiness.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Seems to have avoided disaster that inning

[Edgy MD]

Sevvy is down to throwing almost exclusively sliders, and he may be done after five innings and 87 pitches.

[Edgy MD]

One out in the seventh and Cease finally chased.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Coming or going it has to be Hoeing

[Edgy MD]

Garrett likes a good nibbling opportunity.

[Edgy MD]

A good time to have a contact hitter up and that bails out Garrett as Arraez grounds into two.

Sitting in petco, I notice, boy these padres fans really dislike Jesse winker.

Does he just piss off -every- opposing fanbase, or is there something in particular he’s done to the friars?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Did you get a pink hat?

[Edgy MD]

I think Winkie got in a fight with the Pads when he was a Redleg.

Austin Jones keeps calling the outside slider for strikes, and it's killing Álvarez, because he's trying to stop swinging at that pitch.

[metsmarathon]

Did you get a pink hat?

Absolutely! It’s pretty sweet. Didn’t even realize it was a promo day. I was in town waiting for a flight tomorrow and convinced a coworker to grab a game. It worked out well.

So far.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

12 hits are encouraging. Tho I'm surprised Taylor wasn't already swapped for Bader.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is getting good

[Edgy MD]

Busted open in the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

Brazobán only knows one way to pitch, and that's to labor.

[Lefty Specialist]

Brazoban seems determined to give it all back. If you can't trust him with a 7 run lead, perhaps he should, you know, not be playing baseball.

[Edgy MD]

I'm laboring a bit myself.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alls well that ends well

[Edgy MD]

Well, I give him credit, that he had enough gas left to get over and cover first.

And he threw enough that he might not appear the rest of the series.

But, man.

[metsmarathon]

man, brazoban just had no desire to throw strikes, did he?

[ashie62]

Great to wake up to!
