Nola has a 1.97 ERA against us this year. Let's push that little higher.

I'd really like to see Matz go six or seven while keeping the ball in the yard.

Since trading Cabrera, the Mets are 27-23.
Since acquiring Cabrera, the Phillies are 18-27. (I did not verify this information--that means that the Mets have played 5 more games).

Cabrera has a strained calf so he is not playing tonight.

2:45 from the pickoff move to the (ultimately unchanged) decision, then another 30 seconds to throw the next pitch.
And of course the pickoff came some amount of time after the previous pitch making it somewhere between 3-1/2 and 4 minutes between pitches ... on a one-inch (one way or the other) call ... in the top of the 1st

[Frayed Knot]

Second replay of the game was a more acceptable 1:15 / 1:45 to the decision / next pitch
That we've had two replay reviews through the first seven batters of the game is less acceptable.

Matz homers. That's pretty cool.

Matz is a titan! A paragon!! A paladin!!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

A food boy!

[Frayed Knot]

I'll say this for Matz, he's a helluva n'athlete

[Edgy MD]

He's also living something of a charmed life this evening.

[Frayed Knot]

He's a frustrating helluva n'athlete.

[Edgy MD]

Interesting that they pinch-hit Wilmer instead of Reyes with the bags juiced against the sidearming righthander.

[Edgy MD]

And the slider gets him.

[Fman99]

That behind the back play by Matzie was some shit.

[Edgy MD]

Blevvy making things hevvy.

[Edgy MD]

Jerry wrecked things in a hurry.

[bmfc1]

Matz couldn't have pitched the 6th or was 91 pitches enough?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Mets down 5-2, time to stretch...

Mets are going to see a lot of Seranthony Diminguez in the future.

[Edgy MD]

Lousy game for the middle of the lineup.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That game was a little too June for my liking

[HahnSolo]

I’m done with Blevins.
