Good start to tonight with the Bruce ribeye.

[Fman99]

Ruh roh

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Matz be Matzin'.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's weird, but he seems to have far more command with the change than the fastball.

Case in point on the last pitch to Martinez. Bases juiced for Ozuna.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Farts. Matz REALLY be Matzin'.

[Fman99]

He's shaky. Plus none of our catchers can hit for beans now.

[Frayed Knot]

It would be nice if we could force the Cardinals to at least get the ball out of the fucking infield in order to score their runs.
That's two sac bunts turned into zero outs and both then had errors attached to them allowing further runner advance.
And there have been two infield hits.
And the guy who had to replace Tommy Pham has been on base twice in two ABs on a walk and a HBP

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It would also be nice if our defense-first catcher could, y'know, catch.

Matz. Man.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Just walk in a run, why get an infield hit when you can just stand there?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Matz is a disaster. Let's see what Oswalt can do

[Frayed Knot]

Does Keith listen to ANYTHING Gary says?

Seconds after Gary mentions that Oswalt is from San Diego where the Mets are headed next, Keith suddenly discovers that Oswalt is from San Diego and comments on the coincidence of the Mets going there next.

[Guest d'Kong76]

E, E, E...

[Frayed Knot]

Two more run-scoring "hits" that don't leave the infield.

[Guest 41Forever]

This is a horror show.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

3 ground balls! 2 runs...

I just remembered how I felt when Al Jackson was pitching, and getting grounders, for the early Mets.
I just screamed at the TV out of frustration.
Now I just sigh.

Later

[Guest d'Kong76]

That large deck area in CF looks pretty nice from that stationary camera thing
they keep showing. I'd like to go see the Mets in St Louis one of these years.

[Methead]

Considering switching to Handmaid's Tale for an uplifting palate cleanser.

[Edgy MD]

We were supposed to win by seven tonight, not lose by seven.

Or eight.

Yup. Down by 8 runs in a late start game already past the two hour mark by the top of the 6th ... that's signing off territory.

[Edgy MD]

Take a strike, guyzz.

Even the pitcher is hacking.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Game sucks, but it's still time to stretch...

Yadier doesn't look right with his cap on playing the field.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Omar, it's Francisco Peña!

You can never have enough pitching.

Harvey, Matz and Wheeler all look like crap.

Vargas Lugo and Gsellman are going to have to step up
