[bmfc1]

The Mets go for a three-game sweep against the Atlanta Braves. Game time is 7:20. The Mets will send David Peterson (LHP) against Charlie Morton (RHP). Morton was a big FA signing but has been a disappointment so far with a 5.08 ERA.

Jake starts on Friday... in PSL.

Taijuan to the IL (of course)

Why isn't Nido starting? Note that Pete has the day off. Welcome Maybin!

I'm gonna go out on a late-May limb here and proclaim a sweep is mandatory.

[Lefty Specialist]

This is like one of those pre-Cespedes 2015 lineups, with Eric Campbell and John Mayberry Jr. batting in the heart of the order.

[Frayed Knot]

The sticks on both sides are taking the day off.

1 hit combined and a whole bunch of K's



On the plus side they hot the first three innings done in 40 minutes.

[Edgy MD]

Villar now challenging Alonso for the team homerun lead.

[Edgy MD]

Can anybody explain the organist playing "Go Down, Moses" for Cameron Maybin?

[bmfc1]

When JD returns (Friday?), Villar to 2B... right?

Because the organist is an attention-seeking asshole?

Because of the line "you'll possess fair Canaan's land" (close to Cameron)?

[Edgy MD]

Ouch.



Anyhow, the curve that Morton is throwing is tough on everybody, but it seems utterly unfair to Khalil Lee.

[Edgy MD]

Those were three pitches I'd like back.

[G-Fafif]

It's a Ferris Bueller nod. Cameron in one of his self-pitying moments sings it, changing the lyric to “let my Cameron go.”

[bmfc1]

Good catch, G-Fafif. He still sucks.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

He's good in my book

[Edgy MD]

Mine too.



Double-switched out Fargas, and not Lee?



Ok.

[Centerfield]

Jesus. What a fucking inning.

[bmfc1]

He's no Jane Jarvis.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, Lee hadn't been cleared in the lineup.

[Frayed Knot]

So did anyone ever start their career 0-7 w/7 K's ?

[The Hot Corner]

Mets a little lucky there. Sandoval hit a bases loaded bullet to end the inning. That would have pretty much put the game out of reach if it hadn't been right at Villar.

[The Hot Corner]

Oh what i would give for a 2 out hit by Peraza

[Edgy MD]

You got it.



If we pinch-ran for McCann, this would be tied.

[The Hot Corner]

Thank you Jose.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kinda sucks that you can hit a ball to the wall with 2 outs and not score the guy on first

[Edgy MD]

If they're pinch hitting Nido now, it's sort of a no-brainer to pinch-run for McCann now.



I mean, they're not a lot of need for speed when you're on third with two out, but you can score on a ball in the dirt.

[Edgy MD]

Thank you, Texas League.

You're right, esp. with Maz there as another C. 10 coaches and no one thought of that?

[Edgy MD]

So, am I crazy, or was Heredia way too deep with Nido up?

Two things can be true.
