Wow. It's 9 p.m. What time will they call this thing?

[Fman99]

According to the SNY crawl they are going to play, first pitch set for 10:05 PM.

[Edgy MD]

Gary and Keith acting a little punchy.

[Guest 41Forever]

If it's the same umpiring crew, I predict a very, very wide strike zone. Guys should go up there hacking.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon got at least one called strike he didn't agree with.

Jay Bruce gets "Born in the USA" from the Atlanta organist.

[Edgy MD]

That's fan interference! Conforto should get to score!

Adrian Gonzalez gets "Theme from Rocky."

[Guest 41Forever]

I'm liking this so far!

[Guest 41Forever]

Well, that was gift.

[Edgy MD]

I think McCarthy got crossed up there by the secondbaseman covering second, so you can't lead him like you'd lead the shortstop. You're in fact throwing behind him.

Weird.

[Fman99]

Rally repellant, Jose Reyes.

[Guest 41Forever]

Reyes the rally killer.

[Guest 41Forever]

Wilmer's injury probably extends Jose's tenure, which I thought would end when Frazier returns.

[Guest d'Kong76]

On the radio game-one pre-game they mentioned that it's been forty years since
the Mets played a doubleheader on Memorial Day. I thought it would be interesting
to go back a re-visit those two games.

[Fman99]

Nice gun there by Conforto.

[Edgy MD]

If they're gonna try and groove strike one to you, Nimmo, you know what to do.

[Guest 41Forever]

NIMMO Kaboom!!!!

He's gotta stay in the lineup!

[Edgy MD]

Second time around, Bruce gets "Don't Bring Me Down."

Sitting him is just criminal at this point, are we an NBA team tanking for the lottery?

Sorry Bruce, time to practice with that 1B mitt if you want to see the field.

[Edgy MD]

Sheesh, somebody buy Reyes a break.

[Guest 41Forever]

Poor Jose. Foul by inches.

[Fman99]

I hate the fucking tomahawk music.

[Centerfield]

How the fuck is Conlon the best option we have. That alone should tell you all you need to know about Anderson’s farm system.

Maybe opposing teams should #takeaknee during the anthem to show
support for the disrespect to the Native Americans.

[Centerfield]

Wow. Just wow.

[Centerfield]

So I actually gave myself a glimmer of hope when he took the mound. “Maybe if he shows us something here he can be a lefty option out of the pen.”

Um. Nope.

[Centerfield]

Oh good. Robles in. Things should settle down now.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On the plus side, Conlon is performing at a major-league level.

I mean, it's Vargas' major-league level, but still.

[Centerfield]

Good job by Robles there to limit the damage.

Feel like Plawecki should call his off speed pitches more.

Let’s score 20.
