Wood can really go. Almost beat that out.

Good first for Irvin

Don't expect lefties hitting this Met pitcher tonight with that arm angle.

Senatorswin · « **Reply #4 on:** September 16, 2024, 07:33:52 pm »

2 quick innings with nobody reaching.

Just another hard hit by Ruiz

I don;t think he actually touched the bag.

WTG Nunez!

Interesting that tena plays 2d not 3d when Garcia sits

IanRubbish · « **Reply #9 on:** September 16, 2024, 07:51:04 pm »

40 mins in and it's top of the 4th

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #10 on:** September 16, 2024, 07:53:12 pm »

Tena has to play.

1-0

Tena has to play.

1-0

He keeps hitting and he hits lefties.

I'm leaning more towards wanting to see if he can play shortstop or second base.

Senatorswin · « **Reply #12 on:** September 16, 2024, 07:54:16 pm »

Yepez and Chaparro should play every day but if there's a choice Yepez should play more than Chaparro.

I think Davey is acknowledging that it has been a tough transition for him. He has the arm, but absolutely no experience at third.

100%

I do not understand the fascination with Gallow.

If Tena can hit this lefty he can hit any lefty.

Really glad we continue to give trash like Gallo and Vargas at bats

welch · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2024, 07:59:45 pm »

Tena is the 3B of the future, at least until House ou-plays him...in a couple of years.

IanRubbish · « **Reply #18 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:00:02 pm »

kept thinking Jose Iglesias was that Latin singer from the 80s, turns out it was Julio Iglesias

Slateman · « **Reply #19 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:03:57 pm »

Just catch the ball, Joey. You catch it, its an out.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:04:43 pm »

I thought it was Julio Gallo?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:10:06 pm »

Irvin's best fastball to 1st

Senatorswin · « **Reply #22 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:12:25 pm »

That ball had hit all over it. Great play by Jake.

welch · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:13:02 pm »

Exhale...now get a few more runs.

Slateman · « **Reply #24 on:** September 16, 2024, 08:16:06 pm »

Nunez working a long at bat
