[Chad ochoseis]

Nice glove there by Cano.

And this following a night where he felt it necessary to employ seven different pitchers in a game where his staff was given 14 runs.

As opposed to Alonso who, like Bon Jovi, is starting to give glove a bad name.

Lost in all the HRs yesterday was big Pete totally whiffing on a ball hit right to him which led to several of those runs.

[Edgy MD]

This is only the second time I recall seeing Syndergaard flying the man-bun.



I should keep track of his record by hairstyle.

That play was particularly uggo as he stabbed with a backhand at a ball that went between his legs, bless his giant, polar heart.

All three starts so far this year.

[Frayed Knot]

Seven innings in < 6 innings worth (87) of pitches for Noah including retiring the last 13 batters in a row.

Obviously you bring him back for the 8th and then play things out from there.

OOOOOHHHH!

A tip o' the hat for that one. (Still groaning)

[Lefty Specialist]

That walk-fest was delightfully appalling'



Nice hitting by Conforto to make it 8-1. Noah should sit down for good now.

I get blocked from games vs the Nats.

[Edgy MD]

I think long innings have cooled Noah off a bit.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, he shoulda sat down.

[Lefty Specialist]

Just hope those bullpen yips aren't contagious.

[kcmets]

I nodded off, should have stayed asleep...

[Edgy MD]

Luis can relay a ball!

[Edgy MD]

And maybe too fast.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like he lifted off before the catch, but then brushed it on the pivot.

[Frayed Knot]

Two things are apparent in NYM games so far this season

- that whether the Mets are ahead by a lot or behind by a lot in late innings, the game is never really put away until the last out

- no matter how the game is progressing, it's not going to end quickly. Only one game has been under 3 hours so far (opening day) and most haven't been close including last night which was 4:08 and the longest game in the majors this year

More NYM games over 3:50 so far this season (3) than under 3:10 (2)

[Edgy MD]

I think I've figured out all these comebacks.



Team gets a big lead, relaxes a little, puts some subs in, makes the pitcher sit during a rally ... all of a sudden everybody's cold.



Team that's behind is staying out on the field, jumping around. They're warm. In the late innings, they start chipping away, and whoever comes in for the trailing team on the mound is that much colder.



It's a thermal thing.

[Edgy MD]

Check out the guy in the front row busting a mack with the unaccompanied lady with a kid behind him.

[Edgy MD]

Now he's moved back to sit next to her.



Either they were together the whole time or he's a fast worker.

[A Boy Named Seo]

They still there? Or did they go home together?

[Edgy MD]

Now another dude has the baby, and the two of them are gone.

[kcmets]

Edwin!

[Edgy MD]

Diaz!



It gets warm after this one.

[ashie62]

Bullpen has some catching up to do. Nice win
