[Centerfield]

Awesome. Mets day game at 1 p.m. My son's middle school game at 4 p.m. I should get a ton of work done today.

More soul themed music...

That's not how you spell Travis' last name SNY. All you had to do was copy and paste.

[A Boy Named Seo]

There the eff is Jed Lowrie already. Old man Cano needs these day games off.

[HahnSolo]

I was thinking that Rosario could probably use a day off too.

[A Boy Named Seo]

He prob could, too, but our gold glove backup shortstop Todd Frazier is still rehabbing in single A.

Amazing how all those camera flashes are going off in an otherwise deathly still crowd.



But yeah, this is a good day to give Jeff McNeil a game at second and put aside the outfield adventures for a day.



Heck, play Smith in left. You know you want to.

[Edgy MD]

Um, Keon? About that throw ...

[A Boy Named Seo]

Cano has warning track power.

[Frayed Knot]

The entire Mets team has 'dribbler to the infield' power today.

All three hits so far are of the IF variety.

[Edgy MD]

Good turnaround by Wheeler today.



The hitting, not so mucho.

[Edgy MD]

Smitty is main guy right now.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alonso's slumping, dArnaud may never hit again, Broxton is Broxton, but Cano. .192 hitter

If that!



Three outs to right the ship.

[Edgy MD]

Just as I was thinking that we might remember this trip to Phillie as the series when Alonso fell to earth, he almost undresses Arrieta and (finally) knocks him out of the game.



Tying run up in the form of Canó and possibly Conforto. I'm guessing they're going to a lefty.

[Frayed Knot]

Well Petey did the right thing, rather than swinging for the fences down by two w/no one on, and then hustled enough to bring the tying run to the plate.

[Frayed Knot]

Unlike in recent years, Philly actually has some competent OF defense out there.

That may or may not come into play here.

[Edgy MD]

Two runners on. Something a brewin'.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

out(s)



doesn;t look promising



edit: I hate the lag on these things.

[Frayed Knot]

Morgan gets one out of the two lefties he was brought on to face.

Now it's time for the righty bats to hector Neris

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

JD Davis whiffs. Up to Rosey

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Infield RBI single, Ramos hitting for dArnaud

[Frayed Knot]

And the 5th infield hit of the game for the Mets keeps it alive.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ramos hbp.



Broxy

[Frayed Knot]

Ramos, hitting for dArnaud, gets hit in the arm and he looks hurt ... which could be a problem if this game continues.

I wouldn't think you could hurt Ramos by hitting him in one of those meaty arms.

[Edgy MD]

That's a wicked splitter, but it's usually dropping out of the strike zone.

[Frayed Knot]

None of these splitters are in the strike zone, so if they can just lay off ... tall order I know.
