MIA-Caleb Smith-(2-5, 4.22)
NYM-Zack Wheeler (2-3, 5.92)

[Guest 41Forever]

Keep this streak going, Kong!!!

[Edgy MD]

Caleb Smith is one of those lefties that we would've stacked a bunch of righthanders against, but Wright, Rivera, Céspedes, Frazier, d'Arnaud, Plawecki, and Lagares ain't cooperatin'.

Go, healthy guys!

[Fman99]

Righties, schmighties. The Marlins suck. Let's continue to make them remember that.

[Centerfield]

For the second straight game, the pitching matchup will favor the Marlins. Last night, we got lucky with Vargas. Maybe we get lucky tonight.

In his first start of the year, Zack pitched 7 innings and allowed 1 run against the Marlins. Maybe he can do that again.

We've got to beat the Marlins like 17 of 19 this year if we want any chance at this thing. Go get 'em, fellas.

I'd rather feel (hope) that last night was the serviceable 4th or 5th starter we
signed up for and he's found himself. We're on the hook for $6, $8 and then
possibly $8 again (but at least $2) million on the guy. He really shouldn't be
sucking as bad as he was?

Anyway, windy and showers this evening in Corona but they should get it in.

Tuesday Night Mets Klub meeting in 415 tonight.

I figured that welt in the arm might get Rocco a day off.

Dammit Jose, those 2 runs are on you, dinosaur.

What a trickly rally this is.

[Edgy MD]

And why did Rosario not make the effort Cabrera made to at least try and knock it down?

He really has to go. He's just unwatchable right now.

[HahnSolo]

Just tuning in...is Bruce out of the lineup just because it’s a lefty and Bautista got to the park in time, or did something else happen?

[nymr83]

That is the likely reason.

They finally smartened up and are not sitting Nimmo.

Unleash the Bautista!

Welcome Aaron Laffey (Taffy):

[Gwreck]

So...when do they release Reyes? Tomorrow? Or immediately after tonight’s game?

[nymr83]

He really is done. He might survive until Cechinni is healthy? Or maybe they go with 14 pitchers..

[Fman99]

Nido suuuuuuuuuuucks

[bmfc1]

Nice job by Wheeler. Matz would have fallen apart after Reyes' 1st error but Wheeler stayed with it, overcame the 2d error, and looked good.

[metirish]

Wheeler did look good, and strong in the 6th, good stuff

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, the margin for error is unfortunately non-existent. Offense, man.

[Gwreck]

Utterly predictable, sadly. We can’t be expected to win games with Nido, Flores, and Reyes as regulars.

[Fman99]

Ramos looking much more Ramosesque tonight, sadly for us.

[Edgy MD]

Terrific job by Nimmo, staying alive until Barraclough beat himself.

[Edgy MD]

And we pull it into the shift. Blehh

Fuck the shift!

[Frayed Knot]

- Until the Dietrich HR off Ramos, I really thought this was one of those games we were going to pull out in the end.

- Wheeler pitched well, the only problem being that the one inning where he got himself into trouble (couple of hard hits on top of a couple of loud outs) was the same inning where he also had shit
luck (error plus a couple of seeing-eye hits). He could have survived one or the other but not both.

- They're making too many mediocre pitchers look like Grover Jason Alexander. Every young and/or journeyman pitcher is seemingly having their best day of the season at CitiField

- Y'know who'd be a good replacement for Reyes? ... TJ Rivera
