@jimmy.adames @tokenizedsociety
Mad Max on the hill for the Mets.
Still warping up some stuff at work but will join asap! Go #mets
Looking forward to it. Lets get a large number of comments going.
Working a bit late?
Yea, approaching the end of the month so had to get some financial reports up and running. All done now so it's baseball time
Hopefully the #mets are able to win this one.
So how does the #rockies compare to the #cubs? Is this a tougher matchup for the #mets?
The Rockies are on a roll. Had a good month of May after a rough start.
Not too worried about the Rockies as a team but always concerned about that stadium and Mets pitchers getting knocked around, but with Scherzer and Verlander and Alonso, Lindor and the Baby Mets it could be interesting.
Who are the baby mets? lol
Just noticed the catcher seems to have something attached to his forearm that looks similar to what NFL QBs also use. Are they reading something off those?
Yes, those have been around for a few years now. It's not prevalent, but a handful of catchers still use them. It makes sense since Alvarez is still acclimating himself to the big league pitchers throwing to him @taskmaster4450le
Gotcha! That's cool to know
It is likely a cheater card of the pitches this guy has.
That was a cool play... instead of hitting the ball far away the guy just touched it with his bat and ran for it.
That is called a bunt.
There are two kinds. One is bunting for a hit which he was doing that. Bunting it and run like.
There there is a sacrifice bunt. It is meant to move a runner over and the hitter giving himself up.
Interesting. In what situations would the hitter choose to sacrifice?
Man on second, nobody out, late in the game and want to get the run in to tie or go ahead.
Might bunt him to third then hope to get a run in without a base hit.
Not sure how hard it was to catch that ball but I guess the guy should not have dropped it in that situation.
Yeah. He was charged with an error. That is when the official scorer believes the player should have made the play and didnt.
haha damn! Lots of unique rules on baseball. Does it have any effect on the game when a player is charged with too many errors?
It can. More errors means more men on base and more to be driven in.
Baty, Lindor and Scherzer are the MVP's so far. I'm back on the laptop. While Vogelbach and Pham are striking out Alvarez and Baty getting their hits. Enough said @taskmaster4450le
Yeah. Vogey was robbed of a play earlier. Pham hasnt even made a contest of anything.
Mets lineup
Carrasco is not playing tonight?
No he just pitched last night.
Starting pitchers go every 5th game. Tonight is Max Scherzer starting for the Mets.
I see. He seems to be doing well so far. Who do you think is better between the two?
Scherzer is a much better pitcher. He is going to the Hall of Fame. Verlander too.
Carrasco is decent but not in the league.
The Mets starting staff is: Verlander, Scherzer, Senga, Carrasco, Megill
No Vientos @jimmy.adames
Buck being Buck.
Fans are pissed lol @taskmaster4450le
Can Pete hit 2 HRs at least this weekend?
Although Polar Bear hasn't hit one out yet, I'm on board with two dingers for him this weekend. Perhaps 2 in one game? @taskmaster4450le
Very optimistic but he is capable of it.
Evidently Thor got clobbered by the Rays.
He has really fallen off a cliff.
Never came back from TJS when you think about it.
Rays wrecked the Dodgers tonight and Thor is nowhere near his old form. It's a shame @taskmaster4450le
The only one the Mets let go that they miss is Wheeler. The rest flamed out.
@jimmy.adames will be happy with Tommy Pham in the lineup.
The mets need to take at least 2 of these games.
I would like to think they could sweep this series when Scherzer and Verlander is pitching this weekend. They should have won 2 of 3 against the Cubs, but they can sweep the Rockies. With that said. Just win series. @taskmaster4450le
Megill doesnt instill a lot of confidence in me right now.
This is where the everyday players have to pad their stats.
Great hitters park.
@taskmaster4450le - they scored 10 yesterday, why not 7 or 8 tonight lol. Still time for Pete to hit one out.
It is Colorado so runs can come quickly.
Vientos will start the next 3 according to Buck.
Maybe one will be gone.
The kid is getting rusty riding the bench while Vogelbach and Pham are stinking up the joint. Colorado is the perfect stadium for Vientos to get a few hits to get him going @taskmaster4450le
Yep. We will see if Buck sticks to what he said,
Nimmo walks to lead off the game.
This is how we have to get things going. Now get a few runs.
Lindor 34 RBIs.
7th in the NL.
Lindor helps his batting average there.
2 run HR.2-0 Mets.
Lindor is starting to get warm. I won't say hot yet, but he's definitely been padding his stats a bit @taskmaster4450le
Driving in some big runs. Not getting the singles but a lot of extra base hits.
That will tend to drive in the runs.
McNeil with a weak flyout. Here comes Pete.
Pete is a strong man. Hard to it here Pete put it.
Baty hit it well. Too bad right at the LF.
Blackman with a lead off single.
Amazing. Tommy Pham with a terrific defensive play.
Nice play by Bryant.
He is a good player.
There goes the shutout.
2-1 Mets.
Need to get some runs now.
Alvarez being a #met. Got hit on ball 4.
Nimmo with his second walk of the game. first and second, nobody out.
Phillies taking it to the Braves. Hopefully they can win that one.
Kimbrel got his 400th save in that one. #phillies #braves
He was one of the greats at one time. When he was with the Braves, he was almost unhittable.
Damn Lindor with a foul out.
Wow Bases loaded now.
GB to first and the throw to second hit Nimmo in back.
All safe.
Damn. Pete in a bit for an extra base hit to right. Moved foul.
Pete chased the slider. Second out.
Baty needs to come up with with two outs.
Is Seabold that good or this guy that was on the bat just sucked? lol
LOL no he isnt a good pitcher. The Met hitters are just fucking up.
hahah damn yea he totally burned that guy
Not easy to hit a baseball. But still have to get a run there.
Unreal. This offense is inept.
Scherzer is smarter than the average bear.
Max has 3 extra jersey in case he sweats through them.
Max looked good that inning. Vintage Max there. Gave them no chance.
Great play by Diaz to throw out Marte on a bunt attempt.
Shit. The Rockies are playing some defense.
A 1-2-3 inning there. To be fair some good D by the Rox.
Max finding is groove.
Max with a strong inning there. 9 in a row set down.
Alvarez chased there.
Nimmo with a triple. On third with one out.
Great job by Brandon.
Gotta get a run here.
Vital to drive it in. Come on Lindor.
Lindor with 3 RBIs. Single to center to drive in Nimmo.
That looked like a good one. And I think Nimmo did a good job setting it up in the previous play when he ran like a lot. Is that right?
Yes. A strong single for the RBI.
Nimmo hit a triple. That is a great job. Those are good.
What a bad play by the Rox.
The Mets have to take advantage of this.
Pete hit it hard but right at Bryant.
Here comes Baty needed a 2 out hit.
nice hitting by Baty. Get that run in with two out.
2 out Rbis are a killer.
