let's turn 3

omigod

[Frayed Knot]

Not actually a bad 1st inning from Wheeler
- topped grounder too slow to be turned into an out
- solid single by Yelich
- fly ball which was deep though catchable by either Conforto or Bruce, but wound up being caught by neither
- pop-up, pop-up, K

One hard hit ball. Also too many pitches but even that was mostly caused by the two non-plays

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nido and Whheler = murderer's row

[Edgy MD]

Squeeze, Rosario!

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, or at least, don't pop up like that.

[Frayed Knot]

Wheeler knocks in about 75 years old worth of legs on the bags.

[Edgy MD]

Send Cabrera.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

we need to score Wheeler st least.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

damn foul fly balls

[Edgy MD]

Well done, Sogard.

[Edgy MD]

Flores tries to pull too many outside pitches. Put him two or three inches closer to the plate, and he's an all-star.

[Edgy MD]

Important shutdown inning there.

Let's chase Chacin now.

They certainly blew an early chance yesterday to Chase Anderson.

It would also help if he got on top of his throwing too.

[Edgy MD]

That hurt.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The Mets forge a lead only to promptly give it right back. This game is already starting to look a lot like yesterday's fiasco.

[Edgy MD]

Jonathan Villar has the same walkup song as Amed Rosario.

[Edgy MD]

And Flores disappears from the lineup.

[Edgy MD]

Conforto hitting is a big difference.

[Edgy MD]

I realize that hit the bottom of the yellow stripe on the padding, but I thought it still bounced off of the top of the infrastructure under the padding and hit the wall behind the outfield wall.

[Frayed Knot]

How many more of those fucking topped grounder/infield singles in Cain going to get in this series? That's two today and he had at least one earlier in the weekend.
A couple more and he'll be forced to legally change his name to Jeter.

[Edgy MD]

Tough ball-four call puts the tying run on base and now it's Blevvy Time.

[Frayed Knot]

This Blevins for Gsellman swap I agree with (for reasons that Gary mentioned -- Shaw particularly vulnerable to LHPs) unlike the one the other night.

Blevins in for his lone batter again. This is usually a 50/50 proposition. Hopefully, he gets his man (Shaw) this time.

[Edgy MD]

That's it, Gsellie. Get angry.

Oh well.
