I think hugging an opponent during a game is kinda against the rules.

Especially when your teammate Familia might need a little calming down.
I calming hug.

Pinch-run Rosario here.

If Cabrera is running on 3-2, Wilmer's liner gets through and the Mets are off to the races.

I have a shit load of "ifs" if your looking for some more.

[Edgy MD]

Just want my team to put more pressure on, more pressure on, more pressure on.

Run on 3-2. Hit and run on 2-1. Bunt against shifts. Steal. The Pirates have already shown that they'll throw the ball around recklessly if you put the guns to them.

I agree on both counts. Rosie agrees with the first.

How many weak bloops is that for the Mets tonight?
Gotta be a bunch because even some of our hits were weak bloops too.

[Edgy MD]

Brault is playing Honeycomb on his left forearm.

Bautista is playing a rousing game of WATCH STRIKE THREE tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Even Keith is trying to sell bunting against the shift.

WITH A RIGHTHANDED POWER HITTER UP!

[Edgy MD]

And then we bunt with the infield in. Guh.

[Edgy MD]

That's madness, Mickey! Take what they give you. Don't give back!

It's more than madness! IT'S REEFER MADNESS!

[Fman99]

Christ. What a wasted AB there.

[Zvon]

OMG. After the catcher DROPS the easy pop up.

Still bunting. Even Gary wanted his to smack one up the middle and win it. Unbelievable.

So we bunt when they are expecting it, but not when they give us half the field?

That seems to be the approach, yeah.

Meanwhile, how is Wilmer still single?

[Zvon]

His third walkoff this season. Amazin'!

I caught that. Thought the same thing.

[Zvon]

Most walk-off hits in majors since 2015:

Wilmer Flores 6
Carlos Correa 6

[Zvon]

Wilmer Flores now has 9 walk-off RBI, tied with David Wright for the Mets franchise record.

I have to wonder if these last few are true. I'm just rippin' 'em from twitter.

[Zvon]

When they first posted this they had the score box up for the entire clip, rendering it difficult to see the action and IMO totally unshareable (
Kinda kidding. I'm sure I wasn't the only one bitching about it.
And here it is, for the record!

My wife would move right up to the front of the line if I were somehow unable to fulfill my husbandly duties. She love a man who cries on TV.

Not a bad night at the park, even got Shake Shack.

ThoUGHtS On THe GamE!!!

--other than watching strike 3, good night for Bautista. 2 big running catches, got on base and scored like a leadoff man was supposed to. What does it say that it's come to this?

--Dom Smith. Jesus.

--I'm a Matz skeptic as you know and fully expected him not only to lose the perfecto but the lead and he didn't let me down. I rooted for him though. All the hits he gave up were in a row, until the HR, I think.

--Tim Peterson, I believe, gets his 1st MLB win and deserved one! He's awesome!!!!1

--The game was going nice and quick till Swarzak came in and ground it to a halt. I was getting chilly up there. They don't have a reliever who goes up there and destroys guys anymore. Everyone has become this nibbler, even Fammy.

--I don't believe I have ever been at a game when the benches cleared. The Mets never get into brawls anymore. I can't think of the last one. Familia must have been upset because he couldn't believe Cabrera couldn't make that play.

--Very happy that Wilmo ended it and fairly CAHNfident he would, no help to the Cabrera bunting disaster

Maybe the Ruben Tejada wound never healed for some of these Mets.

Meanwhile, 1-0 in the Ricco-Riccardi-Minaya era.

We want Gunk! We want Gunk!
Yer up again, Kase.
