[Edgy MD]

Roscoe Lee Browne - 5 tool utility player

Funny, I don't remember much about SoSF episodes though we watched. With

1,000 channels and seemingly everything from the past on somewhere sometime

I don't recall seeing it listed anywhere recently.

[G-Fafif]

Jeff McNeil – RF

J.D. Davis – LF

Pete Alonso – 1B

Wilson Ramos – C

Michael Conforto – CF

Todd Frazier – 3B

Amed Rosario – SS

Adeiny Hechavarría – 2B

Steven Matz – LHP

[Edgy MD]

Splashdown by Conforto for the 1-0 lead.

[bmfc1]

After Ros-ERR-io homers (Ros-HR-io), Matz gives a run back on soft hits, including one by the pitcher. Should Conforto have been able to get Posey's hit?

[Edgy MD]

I wonder how massively painful it would be to break a bat over my knee.

I'm pretty confident my knee would break first!

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I should have written "try to break."

[bmfc1]

The bat might bounce back and hit us in the face.

[Edgy MD]

Keith on Alonso breaking his bat over his knee: "It makes all the ents unhappy."

[whippoorwill]

Ents?

[Edgy MD]

Ents:

They'll fuck you up.

[bmfc1]

Great job Mickey defending your player, you spineless, worthless, vapid, know-nothing, empty uniform.

[Edgy MD]

Insane sequence of pitches for Lugo.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that was a very checked-swingy ninth inning for the Mets.

[bmfc1]

Frazier is not helping his trade value today.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get a second inning out of Diaz.

[Edgy MD]

Think Ramos will fly out to right a fifth time?

[bmfc1]

"barring an unlikely post-season appearance." Good one Gary!

[Guest 41Forever]

Familia looking to end this game quickly.

[Guest 41Forever]

Nice play by Gselly to turn two.

[G-Fafif]

Ah, fuck.

[MFS62]

Was there any doubt once the game went into extra innings?

SF has been beating the Mets in extra inning games since the days of Jim Davenport and Joey Amalifitano.

Nertz.



Later

[bmfc1]

F is for Familia and F him. Gsellman got out of the jam but one good inning is all that he's capable of this year. F the Orioles for not keeping Young Yaz in their farm system. F the hitters, all of them as none did anything beyond the solos. F Matz for giving up a key single to the opposing pitcher in his first AB. F Mickey for being a spineless, worthless, vapid, know-nothing, empty uniform. And, as always, F Brodie for putting this team together.

[Edgy MD]

Any faith or lack thereof I had in a victory had little to nothing to do with Joey Almafitano, and more to do with (1) getting no hits after the second, and ( the Mets being 3-8 in extras this year.

[HahnSolo]

A lot of driving yesterday so I caught a lot of this in the car. Not sure why this drove me so crazy, but the pre-game host (not sure who, but it wasn't Randazzo I don't think) said on multiple occasions that the Mets were looking for a win to take 3 out of 4 in the series. How do you get that wrong, then repeat it, and no one (hello producer, are you there???) corrects him?



Then to make matters worse, I get Wayne and some guy who's Not Howie calling the game. With the Mets futility yesterday, Howie would have been a great listen. Disgusted Howie is a good Howie.

[Edgy MD]

Disgusted Howie is good Howie, isn't he? Cohen was disgusted yesterday in discussing how absurd it was that baseball is playing pretty much a full schedule of games at the time of the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. And while he was flabbergasted ("Can't they figure out a way to work it into the schedule?"), there wasn't the same subtext that Howie has that suggests idiots are running the show.



You could almost hear his trapped junior partners over the years, thinking, "I totally agree with this guy, but I'm not sure how strongly I can voice that, because I've got none of his juice."

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The thing with disgusted Howie is he's sometimes wrong. Like he's a big fan of the disaster-in-waiting 3-batters rule for example
