IGT 8/31 Mets vs White Sox 7:10 WPIX

[Frayed Knot]

Now suppose Winker had decided not to jump-rope that throw in from the OF but instead just froze and let it hit him?
I know you can't purposely interfere with a throw but to what degree is he required to get out of the way? It likely
doesn't change things if it did hit him but if Alonso had held at 3B a funny bounce of Jesse's kneecap may have allowed a run to score.

[Edgy MD]

Interestingly early time to make a defensive replacement of your hottest hitter, but there are several lefties in this pen, and if Winker comes up with men on later in the game, he'd likely see one.

[Frayed Knot]

Taylor in for defense in place of three-hit Winker. And on top of that, one can make a case for Marte deserving to be the first glove out.

Nimm flashing leather, ain't nothing but a thing...

[Edgy MD]

Passed-ball hat trick for Álvarez.

[Edgy MD]

That replay was not instant.

[The Hot Corner]

They took a while, but they got it right. De Los Santos did his Peterson impression and picked Lindor clean. I was amazed that review took so long.

[The Hot Corner]

De Los Santos line thus far onight. Walked Lindor. Picked Lindor off. Single by Nimmo. Now walks Vientos. Facing Alonso with 2 on and one out.

[Edgy MD]

Three guys reaching and drawing a donut is less than ideal.

Fredbird wins The Great Mascot Race.

[Edgy MD]

I almost forgot what Ryne Stanek looks like.

Eight days since his last appearance.

[kcmets]

Late stretch...

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I just got a ticket to the game tomorrow! Shockingly, it was not difficult.

Phillies helping us out tonight, up 3-0 in the ninth.

[Frayed Knot]

Solid inning by Stanek ... not a sentence that's been typed often since his NYC arrival.

[Edgy MD]

Maton is next.

Looks like they're trying to work toward Butto to finish.

[The Hot Corner]

I was trying to think of who would go in the 9th. Figured it would be either Butto or Garret.

[kcmets]

I could pee. But I'm willing to wait.

[kcmets]

VeintoBLOOP!!!

[The Hot Corner]

Need a two out hit from Pete.

[Edgy MD]

I was trying to think of who would go in the 9th. Figured it would be either Butto or Garret.

Butto and Otto up in the pen. I figure it's the former if the score stays the same, and the latter if the Mets score here.

[The Hot Corner]

Well, it will be Butto as Alonso K's again on pitch well out of the strike zone.

[kcmets]

What the? I really need to pee...

[The Hot Corner]

Butto not exactly fooling the White Sox hitters.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm shocked no Young here. Danny, Alex, Dick, Chic, whoever

[kcmets]

I'm so happy I could pee!!

[Edgy MD]

Never. In. Doubt.
