IGT June 6 Orioles at Mets D-Day Game

[MFS62]

Wheeler VS Bundy.
That's Dylan Bundy.
But it could be Al Bundy, Ted Bundy or Irving Bundy, the way the Mets are hitting. Doesn't matter.
Every day is D-Day (for defeat) lately.

I predict the Mets will score 14 runs today.

That's just the bullpen, tack on another 6-7 off Wheeler!

[Vic Sage]

If it's King Kong Bundy, it might at least be entertaining.

You know, if Gonzalez is going to bat lower in the lineup than Plawecki, I think you just let him go and try Dom Smith no?

I mean, Dom isn't exactly lighting up LV, but you figure Dom can give you at least a .700+ OPS.

Well good luck today Mets!

When you’re reading the game cast and see “grounded out to catcher” two Mets at bats in a row

You think "hey, at least they made contact"...?

[Guest cooby]

Well I suppose that’s progress...

[Guest cooby]

Through two innings, the Mets have no hits, Orioles have two hits, and there is no score

[Guest cooby]

On a positive note, wheeler has four strikeouts

[Centerfield]

I guess we are scoring all 14 runs in the last 6 innings.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cy Bundy is cruisin' through three.

[Centerfield]

The good news is that Wheeler has kept them scoreless. If he keeps it up, it will be back to back good starts for Wheeler. He had been doing the good start, bad start thing his last many turns.

For those watching, is he using a splitter?

[Benjamin Grimm]

His pitch count looks very reasonable.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think Wheels still has potential, and Matz hasn't looked as bad as I feared he might.

Geez that's 4 good starters and we couldn't count on winning 2 in a row for 2 months now

Gameday classifies 4 pitches as splitters, but I believe it's pretty spotty with pitch identification.

[Edgy MD]

Stop swinging! Just sort of ... lean into pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Smoly Smit! Two baserunners!

[Edgy MD]

Three! THREE!

Bases loaded and two out for Rosario!

BUNT! LEAN INTO ONE!

[Edgy MD]

Or maybe go down on three pitches!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cue the Sad Trombones

[Methead]

This team is special.

[Edgy MD]

Getting a lot of money starts from our rotation these days.

[bmfc1]

A stellar 5 minutes for Rosario. Other teams call up young players and they are immediate stars. The Mets "future stars" are a 1B who the GM ridicules all off-season and is still in the minors (behind a player who was released twice last off-season) and a SS who can't hit, can't stop swinging, can't steal a base and is only a above-average fielder. Way to go Sandy!

[Edgy MD]

The GM did not ridicule Dominic Smith all off-season.

[Edgy MD]

OK, fine, bunting doesn't work for you either.
