Test
Brian Yesterday at 9:34 pm
Hey Chris – I see you
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:34 pm
Evening Brian
hope all well your way
Brian Yesterday at 9:34 pm
Where are you these days?
I’m ok – just staring down my youngest getting ready to leave for college
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:34 pm
back in TN
Brian Yesterday at 9:35 pm
Hopefully you can stay up for the duration of the West Coast game
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:35 pm
so empty nester time!!!
its a Michelle Margaux kind of game
Brian Yesterday at 9:36 pm
You’d think that. But our son is getting an internship and will be moving back in. So, I guess we’ve executed a deadline deal
Well, Gelbs doing play x play
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:36 pm
ha!!
yeah, this west coast stuff does not bring out the A team announcers for us
Im sire Howie not there
Brian Yesterday at 9:37 pm
The sad thing is I think I’d rather hear Gelbs and Darling than Gary and Keith
Keith has just fallen off the cliff
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:37 pm
duuuude
Brian Yesterday at 9:38 pm
Gary deserves some games off having to carry Keith for these past few games
And I’m no Gelbs fan
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:38 pm
I know!
I was in most of HS and all of undergrad just a few miles from Anaheim Stadium
Brian Yesterday at 9:39 pm
Bobby Grich time?
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:40 pm
A bit after Grich and Rudi and Carew. It was Brian Downing and company
Brian Yesterday at 9:40 pm
Is this the Angels’ City Connect uniform? It’s not bad. Outside of the hat
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:40 pm
it is
its all surf stuff
60s
Brian Yesterday at 9:40 pm
I like the number inside of the baseball diamond
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:41 pm
i think this is one of the top cc unis
U see that Paul whats his face shut down Uniwatch?
Brian Yesterday at 9:42 pm
Not Angels related but I saw a cool pic the other day. It was a game shot of Ted Kluszewski wearing the cut out uni with no jersey underneath
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:42 pm
!
Brian Yesterday at 9:42 pm
Yeah, I heard he was stepping away awhile ao but I thought someone else was keeping it going.
Nice for Nimmo to get a hit
It’s like a rule that every pitcher has to throw 20 pitches in the first inning
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:45 pm
is that a rule’
???
Brian Yesterday at 9:46 pm
Maybe Blackburn will only throw 12
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:46 pm
shocker, Pete Ks on a pitch in the LH batters box
Brian Yesterday at 9:46 pm
It’s getting to the point I don’t even want to offer him 3/$75
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:46 pm
I feel ya. Im really soured.
I mean hes lost
Brian Yesterday at 9:47 pm
I like guys to swing the bat but we’re swinging at a lot of balls this inning
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:48 pm
its a pretty common Mets issue. Cant throw strikes and love to swing at balla
balls
Brian Yesterday at 9:48 pm
Break out the take sign, Mendoza
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:49 pm
I wouldn’t eve let him take a bat to the plate
well, will the next contestant come on down!
Brian Yesterday at 9:51 pm
At least it wasn’t a walk!
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:51 pm
Did you see of Rendon was playing 3B?
Brian Yesterday at 9:52 pm
Rendon not in the lineup
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:52 pm
thx
Brian Yesterday at 9:53 pm
Rengifo at 3B
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:55 pm
I’m wondering if some streamer available, that is, currently streaming this game, where I don’t have to listen to those tedious/painful commercials?
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:55 pm
i have it on mute
Im glad Wash got a top step job
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:56 pm
Yeah, but since I’m working on stuff, I can’t have my eyeballs on the screen constantly
Blackburn makes good bicycle accessories
Brian Yesterday at 9:56 pm
Nice DP
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:57 pm
sorry, I must remind myself to stay away from the irrelevant
Brian Yesterday at 9:57 pm
ESPN says 14 pitches for Blackburn.
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:58 pm
Calhoun could use a diet
Was that Iglesias on middle part of that DP?
Brian Yesterday at 9:59 pm
Yeah – Mets using all righty lineup except Nimmo so Iglesias playing 2B
Woodrow Yesterday at 10:00 pm
Iglesias and Vientos have really helped this team
Brian Yesterday at 10:01 pm
Indeed
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:03 pm
1
Brian Yesterday at 10:03 pm
woo-hoo an early lead
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:04 pm
cmon Pinky
Brian Yesterday at 10:04 pm
I didn’t want Anderson at the deadline because the Mets didn’t need a lefty starter. Now I’m glad because I couldn’t stand to watch another nibbler
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:05 pm
Guillorme!!!
that delivery…ghastly
Brian Yesterday at 10:06 pm
Those running Mets
The delivery is even worse with the bases empty
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:07 pm
IM glad Luis has a. Hime
Brian Yesterday at 10:08 pm
I’m sure he was ready for a LIndor pop up
Vientos reminds us he’s not a good fielder
Alvarez with the CS!
Ump may not be giving Blackburn more on the outside but he sure gave him a high strike there
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:18 pm
indeed
did they say what beach that was? I just saw a glimpse
Brian Yesterday at 10:20 pm
If so, I missed it
Another hit for Nimmo – nice
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:22 pm
The ol Shite Sox may just very well beat the 62 Mets
Brian Yesterday at 10:22 pm
Those running Mets
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:23 pm
lousy tag. This is the new issue to me. Put your glove down and expect the runner not to avoid it
ALONSO
Brian Yesterday at 10:23 pm
ALONSO
A no doubter
Wonder if the White Sox will have a winning streak at the end of the season to avoid 120, like the Tigers did
Lindor makes a nice tag on a SB attempt while Guillorme didn’t.
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:25 pm
yep
Brian Yesterday at 10:27 pm
tough inning for Guillorme
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:27 pm
ugh Luis
Brian Yesterday at 10:28 pm
Tough inning for the camera man, too. Where was that ball hit?
The 2003 Tigers won five of their last six games to finish the year 43-119
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:31 pm
let me check their scheduke
Their last 15 games is pretty easy except for a et with SD
Metsense Yesterday at 10:32 pm
Hi Guys
Brian Yesterday at 10:33 pm
Hey Metsense
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:33 pm
Evrning Metsense
Brian Yesterday at 10:34 pm
I know it’s just the Angels but Blackburn looks good. Throws strikes
Metsense Yesterday at 10:34 pm
How is Blackburn?
42 P
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:35 pm
so so
Brian Yesterday at 10:35 pm
3 IP, 42 pitches
Metsense Yesterday at 10:35 pm
25 strikes
Brian Yesterday at 10:35 pm
A better fielding 3B and he wouldn’t have given up a run
But the big news is Alonso homered
Metsense Yesterday at 10:36 pm
Maybe he’s heating up
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:37 pm
Evening! Let’s hope so.
Brian Yesterday at 10:37 pm
Hey Steven
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:37 pm
Hi Brian
Brian Yesterday at 10:38 pm
Lindor finally lays off a high pitch and ump calls it a strike anyway
Metsense Yesterday at 10:38 pm
Maybe he Has a Cespedes in him this Aug -September
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:40 pm
Nimmo getting going needs to continue.
Brian Yesterday at 10:40 pm
3-3
Metsense Yesterday at 10:40 pm
wow
Brian Yesterday at 10:43 pm
Huntington Beach, Chris
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:43 pm
i thought it looked familiar
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:52 pm
Blackburn!
Brian Yesterday at 10:53 pm
Getting the job done despite the baserunners
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:55 pm
63 pitches not too bad. He could use a quick inning.
Brian Yesterday at 10:55 pm
I’d be very happy with 6 IP, 1 ER
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:56 pm
Absolutely
Brian Yesterday at 10:58 pm
rally
ChrisF Yesterday at 10:58 pm
does anyone know the meaning of the hand sweeping on all the hits the Mets get?
Metsense Yesterday at 10:59 pm
Let’s cash in
Brian Yesterday at 10:59 pm
They always come up with something to celebrate hits. It used to be the ground pepper thing with Todd Frazier
NYM6986 Yesterday at 10:59 pm
was just thinking the same thing
Brian Yesterday at 11:00 pm
The extended arm over the head with Jose Reyes
Need another ribby here, Alvarez
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:02 pm
great catch by Luis
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:03 pm
Guillorme makes up for the yuk
Brian Yesterday at 11:03 pm
covered a lot of ground
Metsense Yesterday at 11:04 pm
NY to LA !
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:05 pm
sad for trout
the shit think is whats next after a second meniscus tear is likely replacement.
Brian Yesterday at 11:06 pm
Metsense
NY to LA ! Must have been on Delta as there was a stopover in ATL
The Angels have such lousy luck
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:09 pm
Nice job by Tejada on the throw
Brian Yesterday at 11:09 pm
Wow – another great DP
Metsense Yesterday at 11:10 pm
Lindor is so smooth
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:11 pm
Lindor = Mets first NLMVP. For anyone who disagrees, I salute with my middle fanger
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:11 pm
We all think of Trout as a star player approaching 400 HR. He’s also an example of a long term contract that really sucked for the Halos. His decline started around the time of his extension. He just can’t stay on the field.
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:12 pm
hes gotta be in contention for sure
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:12 pm
Do you think McNeil would have completed either of those DPs?
Snell tossed a NH
Brian Yesterday at 11:13 pm
What’s Bobby V doing in the Angels booth?
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:13 pm
yeah, its a total shame for Trout, who really was the best to ever play the game.
feels a bit like Kershaw
Brian Yesterday at 11:13 pm
Unfortunately, that’s a great comp
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:14 pm
What’s most amazing about Trout is the fact that despite dissapearing over the last few years, he’s still a 1st ballot HOFer
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:14 pm
inner circle
should get 100%
Brian Yesterday at 11:16 pm
C’mon JD – you’re due
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:16 pm
In his 1st 8 seasons, he finished 1st 3X and 2nd 4X in ALMVP vote
And in the other season he finished 5th
Simply amazing
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:17 pm
Trout will miss if he can’t get healthy enough to play. Last five years starting in 2020, he played 53, 36, 119, 82 and 29 games. If he hits 500 HR yes, otherwise no.
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:17 pm
Like 10 SS, 11 AS, RoY. GOAT
thats insane.
Brian Yesterday at 11:18 pm
woo-hoo
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:18 pm
Seriously, do you really think he isn’t a lock for HOF? He has his 10 years already. He could quit today
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:18 pm
complete lock.
Brian Yesterday at 11:18 pm
Yes, without a doubt he’s a HOFer right now
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:18 pm
3 MVP,three times a runner up
Metsense Yesterday at 11:18 pm
Martinez
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:19 pm
and ROY
He’s at 86 WAR now.
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:20 pm
Okay – quite the resume. Career OPS of .991 Wow
Brian Yesterday at 11:20 pm
He’s got 85.7 fWAR. 70 pretty much puts you in
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:20 pm
Correction: in his 1st 9 seasons, 1st 3X, 2nd 4X, 4th and 5th once each
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:20 pm
Like i said, inner circle. Maybe top 5 of all players ever
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:20 pm
jayzus
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:21 pm
Never a doubt
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:21 pm
OMG the Angels suck
Brian Yesterday at 11:22 pm
Another reason it’s good that Keith isn’t here. Fundies!
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:22 pm
ha!!
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:22 pm
They do suck
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:22 pm
In lifetime OPS+, he’s 8th between Hornsby and Mantle
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:23 pm
does the feed look far to you all? Like not enough light standards in the park?
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:23 pm
Terrible fielding from halos
Lindor literally just walked home
Judge is 13th between Shoeless Joe and Cobb
Does seem a bit dark, but didn’t really notice until you pointed it out
Brian Yesterday at 11:27 pm
It’s not fair to compare active guys to retired guys who’ve already gone thru their decline phase.
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:27 pm
Twas 100 F in PDX yesterday, 90 F today Heading to the coast (by bike) tonight. Be there tomorrow
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:27 pm
bonkers hot right now
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:28 pm
Of course you’re right, Bri. But still, it’s pretty amazing what Judge has done in 22 and 24
Brian Yesterday at 11:28 pm
Albert Pujols had a 168 OPS+ thru his age-32 season and finished his career with a 145 mark
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:28 pm
We hit 100 like once every other year
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:28 pm
pujols in his prime. Wow
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:29 pm
But 3 years ago it hit 118 in PDX. Fortunately, I was on the coast
Wow, Blacburn is looking good so far
Brian Yesterday at 11:31 pm
There’s the 6 IP, 1 ER we were asking for
82 pitches
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:31 pm
u see how many pitches?
thx
Brian Yesterday at 11:33 pm
There’s the old HS coach creedo – hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard
12 hits for the Mets
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:34 pm
Montero DFAd today
Brian Yesterday at 11:35 pm
Which Montero – Rafael?
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:36 pm
yes
Brian Yesterday at 11:36 pm
He still has a year left after this one, I think
Those running Mets
ChrisF Yesterday at 11:37 pm
yep
hou couldnt find a suitor for him
Metsense Yesterday at 11:37 pm
Brian Yesterday at 11:39 pm
Swing the bat, Pinky
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:43 pm
Question: Is there any season when you think a NYM should have been NLMVP, but didn’t because writers/voters suck?
The only one I can be sure about is Gooden in 85
Brian Yesterday at 11:44 pm
Straw in ’88?
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:46 pm
He split the NYM vote with McReynolds if I recall correctly
Gooden and Tudor finished 1st and 2nd in WAR, 13.3 and 8.2 – crazy numbers
But the boneheads award McGee MVI – most valuable insect
Metsense Yesterday at 11:48 pm
Ha
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:48 pm
Mex in 1984, but Sandberg undeniable that year
Seaver was beaten by McCovey in 1969
Brian Yesterday at 11:51 pm
Butto brings the heat
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:51 pm
Butto kicks ass and takes names – in that order
Metsense Yesterday at 11:52 pm
It is a waste to have him As a reliever
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:52 pm
People singing about Behr paint
You guys seeing the same commercials
Stupid mcdonald’s commercial
Brian Yesterday at 11:53 pm
yep – you just have to tune it out
José Hunter Yesterday at 11:53 pm
I don’t know how you guys stand it
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:57 pm
How far does Butto get to go.
Brian Yesterday at 11:57 pm
No reason not to have him close it out again.
Darling said something interesting earlier – that Mendoza let Butto pitch until he wasn’t effective
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:58 pm
Agree. What boost he would be to throw two or three each time out and throw well.
Metsense Yesterday at 11:59 pm
Yes – But he is more valuable As a 1 inning pitcher In high leverage situations
NYM6986 Yesterday at 11:59 pm
Strange comment.
Metsense 12:00 am
He is the best reliever Except Diaz
Use him
ChrisF 12:03 am
Hard to argue against that
Brian 12:04 am
I’m ok with Butto as a reliever right now but he needs to be a SP next year
Metsense 12:04 am
Yes
Blackburn trade makes Butto their set up man
Brian 12:09 am
Angels D strikes again
José Hunter 12:10 am
Gack! I saw Marte’s name on the screen and thought he was back from the dead
Brian 12:10 am
They talked about Starling earlier – supposed to go on rehab stint soon
José Hunter 12:11 am
Can’t wait
Honestly, rather see McNeil in RF and Iglesias at 2B
Brian 12:11 am
Get ready for that Marte-Winker platoon
Metsense 12:12 am
Yep
ChrisF 12:12 am
That will be a sight to behild
Brian 12:13 am
Hopefully they use defensive replacements for both of them
Metsense 12:13 am
Taylor
Mendoza Plays everyone
and Stearns Challenges him By Changing the roster
Brian 12:16 am
Lots of foul balls for you, Chris
ChrisF 12:16 am
extra special
in the 9th inning I’d only give 1 Fb before calling out
Metsense 12:17 am
Maton Doesn’t have a Strikeout pitch
Brian 12:19 am
Anything more embarrassing than swinging at a pitch that hits you?
ChrisF 12:19 am
and then complaining about the call as a strike? That’s a loser
W
Brian 12:20 am
there’s your strikeout pitch – fastball middle-middle
Metsense 12:20 am
WINNER
ChrisF 12:20 am
night bots
boys
Brian 12:20 am
Not a bot
José Hunter 12:21 am
Who you calling a bot, you bot?
ChrisF 12:21 am
im not so sure B
Brian 12:21 am
Nice win – see you tomorrow night
Metsense 12:21 am
Thanks for the chatter Sleep well
José Hunter 12:21 am
Not ready for bed, gramps. It’s only 9:21 out here
Later, dudes
Metsense 12:22 am
Then I’ll call you up at 7:00 when I get up
Good night
