IGT 9/2 Mets vs Red Sox 7:10 Severino Bello SNY

[metirish]

Man, there just seems to be a great buzz , probably lots of Sox fans there too

[Frayed Knot]

Connor Wong, halfway to Joe Torre

[The Hot Corner]

Alnso with a beautifal stop of a hot shot down the line. Then he hit Severino with a perfect throw to first. Alonzo's defense has improved immensely over his career.

[The Hot Corner]

Just noticed that Jarren Duran has a rather unusual grip on the bat. He interlocks the pinky of his top (left) hand between the index and middle finger of his bottom (right) hand. Similar to golf grip.

[Frayed Knot]

NYM OF's are one-for-three in diving catch attempts: .333

[The Hot Corner]

Nimmo scared me on that Devers line drive right at him. It fooled him for a moment, but he was able to recover and make the catch to end the inning.

[Frayed Knot]

btw, this game is on MLBN for those who can't see the game otherwise.

[Edgy MD]

It's also pretty great (a) not to see any sign of a letdown after the sweep, (b) having all three members of the A-team in the booth to call it, and (c) have Lindor on our side.

[Edgy MD]

I don't know if Nimmo senses it, but on the days he starts in center, they seem to be choosing an ever-earlier inning in which they put in Bader or Taylor and move him over to a corner.

Granted, it's as often as not about getting the corner guy out of the game as to get Nimmo off center.

This umpire SUUUUUUUCKS

[The Hot Corner]

This umpire SUUUUUUUCKS

I'm pretty sure I could work him in for exam tomorrow. It definitely appears that he needs one.

[Edgy MD]

Larry Vanover has tickets tonight to see Los Dos Carnales, Juanma, Salazar, and EL YAKI at La Boom in Woodside, and he'll be damned if he's going to be late.

[Edgy MD]

Larry Vanover thinks he's paying the Mets back by punching out Jarren Duran there, but he's going to need one or two more of those to get even.

[Frayed Knot]

Danny Young: 'I've been sent by my government to strike out Jarren Duran'

[Cowtipper]

Just like that, Danny Young has made 32 appearances for the Mets this year. That's crazy.

[Edgy MD]

The gummint is given Danny Young a long leash here.

[The Hot Corner]

After getting Duran. Young suddenly loses the strike zone. Walk and hit batter brings the Red Sox best hitter up. Wild pitch moves the runners into scoring position.

[Fman99]

Ugh is this inning going sideways quick

[Fman99]

<whew>

[The Hot Corner]

Whew. Devers hits a soft grounder to McNeil to end the inning. Way more anxiety than I wanted in that inning.

We need a run or two to reduce the stress in the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

As Young headed back to the dugout, I flashed on Jorge Lopez tossing his glove over the net back at the end of May.

Feels like a long time since then.

[Edgy MD]

Mets currently playing clean, attractive baseball.

[The Hot Corner]

It will be Maton for the 9th.

[Fman99]

Alonso channeling the defensive first base prowess via the moustache tonight.

[The Hot Corner]

Vanover definitely likes the high strike.
