I guess Bautista really isn't close.

[Fman99]

Wow, Conforto really crushed that ball.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Lester. Everybody knows you work Rosario with sliders away.

[Fman99]

Pouring it on now. This would be a good time for Wilmer to clean up.

[ashie62]

I hope they don't trade Noah

[Lefty Specialist]

Fundies, Plawecki, fundies.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Syndergaard. Throw the stupid pitcher a breaking ball.

Wilmer w/bases loaded and 2 outs facing the LHP = pop-up
Lester w/bases loaded and 2 outs facing Syndergaard = two-run single

[Edgy MD]

I don't think a 30-foot lead is gonna work, Amed.

[Frayed Knot]

Ronnie neglects to relate the great Lee Trevino line about one irons.

Trevino, who was once injured by a lightning strike while playing a round, was asked what he'd do the next time he was out on a course during an electrical storm.
"Hold up a one iron" was his answer. When it was suggested that that would make it even more likely that he'd be struck, he answered no because, "even God can't hit a one iron".

[Edgy MD]

It's nice to know Murphy can still singlehandedly tear the Mets down.

[Fman99]

I don't see how I make it another 2+ innings, I'm fading fast.

[Fman99]

Well, that helps! Nice bomb by Plawecki to tie the game up.

McNeil, putting his 11 game streak on the line as the PH here.

[Edgy MD]

After the replay review awards him a double, Rizzo asks if he has to touch first.

Baseball has gotten so weird. If you hit a homer, guys, the runners and batter should just jog back to the dugout.

[Edgy MD]

Mickey is clearly trying to supermanage Lugo's and Gsellman's innings, keeping them out of games even when they are rested, even when the game is within a run (last night) or tied (tonight).

[Edgy MD]

Oh, bunt, man.

[Edgy MD]

There's always hop when there's Strop.

[Edgy MD]

Jay Bruce comes in and Madden does the unthinkable and pulls his closer.

Tying run up, man!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jay Bruce, professional hitter.

[Edgy MD]

The pitcher wearing shades is weird enough. Doing it in a night game is goofy.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bases left jammed.

[Edgy MD]

Two bad called strikes and Jackson goes down to end it.

[nymr83]

Reyes under .200 and still wasting plate appearances.
