Quit beggin' Freddie

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice K of FFF.

[Chad ochoseis]

Making myself an espresso and settling in for the long haul. Trying to decide whether to go with the one inning decaf or the six inning caffeinated.

[Frayed Knot]

Jackson & Melancon each pitched a single inning/13 pitches on Thursday, so likely everyone is available out of the Atlanta pen.

Doesn't matter though, this game is ending in this half ... and the HBP means that we even now know who's going to score the winning run.

Chill, Pete. Relax.

Panik at the Disco

Newcombe is paniking.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice two-base Sac, Pete!!

Decaf is looking like the right decision.

[Edgy MD]

Hoping I get to see some naked Conforto again.

[Edgy MD]

I have no problem with seeing a naked Aaron Alltherr tonight. He's German.

I'm not sure I want to know what that means.

Pissing this away



How Altherr is on a 25 man MLB roster is a mystery to me

[Lefty Specialist]

Altherr earning that DFA he's going to get after the game.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that played out less than ideally.

Now we may never know.

[Edgy MD]

Sewald out there looking for his first Se-win.

[Fman99]

I went upstairs to say good night to the kids but I'm assuming Altherr took a big coil on the plate.

OK, they've got three non-hitters up this inning.

No free passes!!!

Nimmo went 0 for 4 for Syracuse I guess he's ready. Hopefully, he and Rivera are en route.

[bmfc1]

How many times in Mets history has a pitcher earned a save and then a win in consecutive games? Probably more than one but let's find out if Sewald joins the list.

[Edgy MD]

Give credit where credit is due. Altherr was a more effective pinch-hitter than Julio Teheran.

[kcmets]

Easy 12th for Sewald.

We watched him play, got home about 20 minutes ago. While he did go 0-4 he reached twice on fielders' choices and scored a run and looked pretty spry running the bases. He also shared his favorite New Testament verses as part of "Faith Night," which was pretty odd.

[bmfc1]

Thank you Fman99. The Syracuse starter, Gonzalez, did well. How did he look?

[bmfc1]

Oh crap, here we go. SB coming up.
