NCLS Game 5 Oct 18 2024 5 PM Dodgers at Mets "If This is It"

[Centerfield]

Winker>>Martinez

You wonder how many runs we left on the board by starting JD. So dumb.

[Fman99]

Here lemme help you with that

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, they have a shot on Sunday. Then it's all hands on deck in Game 7.

[Centerfield]

You know. We have the starting pitching advantage the next two games.

[Fman99]

OK this game goes into the category of "fucking awesome." And on we go !

[The Hot Corner]

Thank you sir. Nicely done.

Acuna didn't score from third on a double play?

Winker didn't get to 2nd on a ball off the wall and Acuna doesn't score from 3rd on a GiDP ... and FOX never showed nor mentioned either.


Someone above said the pitcher looked Acuna back but, even so, that's a go on contact play IMO.
If they throw home you're almost certainly out but it kills the DP and you've still got a RiSP w/1 out.
If they opt for the DP instead then it's a free run.
And, hey, LAD might be so surprised that they eff up the play entirely.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets box score: 14 for 34, 12 R, 12 RBI, 5 BBs, 3 HBP, and, wait for it, ZERO Ks!!!
I'm used to two in the 1st inning alone.

See guys, good things happen when you make contact. For instance you just might win a game by six runs despite getting out-HR'd three to one.

[Centerfield]

Nice of Ryne Stanek to do an interview before loading all the amps onto the truck.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, when Florida-Georgia Line has got a gig lined up down the Interstate a bit he's got to hop to it.
The show must go on!

This gave me a proper chuckle, nicely done

[Edgy MD]

There's a big lead so it probably doesn't matter, but why put in a pinch runner for a runner on 3rd and none out? You burn two players, and even a slow runner on 3rd with none out is likely to score.

He was on first when he checked in, and then burned ass to third on the next hit.

Hey, I wasn't justifying, just describing it. Rookie mistake. Talent of youth without wisdom of years.

He's the gift that keeps giving.

Great morning to be a Mets fan

[Centerfield]

How was the mood in the stadium? I was wondering if it would be muted given the series score.

It would have been nicer if I had had a chance to post this before last night's loss:
