IGT 08/28 Mets at ARI - Snake Hunting Again

[Frayed Knot]

Well THAT was a quick (and unexpected) turn-around!!!


Bader responds with Pink Power!

[Frayed Knot]

What a strange game for Severino thru 4-2/3: 4 runs, 2 HRs, 8 hits, 1 BB, 9 Ks (out of 14 outs), 100 pitches (should be around 70)

[Edgy MD]

Put that inning in the Brazobank.

[Edgy MD]

And bunt singles make me cry.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Damn! These guys are not rolling over and giving up!

[Edgy MD]

Wow! That throw beat Marte by ten feet!

[Frayed Knot]

Gary Cohen is DENIED and the Mets lose their challenge.

I wasn't nearly as sure as Gary that that call was going to be overturned. In fact I wasn't sure at all.
The 'back-track' towards 1st base looked totally incidental to me and didn't even resemble intent.

Wow! That throw beat Marte by ten feet.

Note to catcher: bending your knees helps you reach a sliding player.

Me neither, but Gary's certainty was swaying me.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to think. Don't think I've ever seen that case, particularly in the replay era.

[Frayed Knot]

Brazoban: two outs in his first four pitches, three in his first nine.
Quite a contrast to Severino's stint.

[Edgy MD]

Perdomo walks, and the Mets have run out of Brazobandwidth.

[Edgy MD]

Strow thrikes, Danny.

Here comes Reed Garrett.

I feel the need for some Dedniel.

[Frayed Knot]

Career splits for Joc Pederson: 845 OPS vs RHP; 630 vs LHP

Still just 32 y/o, he seems too young to be a full-time DH and platoon player but there ya go.

[Edgy MD]

Mets. Making the plays and getting the calls.

And Garrett has 98.

[Frayed Knot]

Always good to get two outs with your last two pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Marte gets the start in the three-hole because the Diamondbacks are starting a lefty, and he gets around for a hard double after they bring in a sidearming righty.

[Edgy MD]

Waiter, I ordered a Nuñez, and you've brought me a Maton.

[Edgy MD]

Instead they bring me the Four-Out Diaz Special.

I hope this goes down OK.

[Edgy MD]

STROWTHRIKES!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is bullshit

[Edgy MD]

Burbles loaded.

Urckf.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good night

Wish they'd stop pretending Diaz is still Diaz

[Edgy MD]

This is bullshit

The true bullshit was yet to come.

[Frayed Knot]

Two outs, but we can't get another out.
