If Sen Sanders is in attendance please ask him to address the IL/roster crisis on social media

so we can get his take on the next month or so in Metsville.

[Fman99]

That lineup is a real Murdered Row there

[Lefty Specialist]

I'd bat deGrom 3rd in that lineup.

[bmfc1]

Strike 3 to Drury was borderline. Strike 1 to McCann wasn't close.

[Edgy MD]

Mets are very taking-strike-three this evening.

[Edgy MD]

I'm all for the small-ball strategies here.



I'm not for sliding like you've never done it before.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets trying their very best to not score despite two hits and a walk in the frame.



oe. two hits and two walks

[Edgy MD]

Dom laying off pitches he was chasing a few weeks back.

[Lefty Specialist]

Pathetoffense.

And they suceed!! (by not succeeding)

[Lefty Specialist]

DeGroim 45 pitches after 4 innings. TIME TO PULL HIM, LUIS.

[Edgy MD]

Well, looks like JdG is locked in. Eight in a row.



This is starting to seem like a big game.

[Frayed Knot]

Three innings worth of pitches (45) to get through four innings ... not easy to do six Ks

Oh, God. Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP!!

Goodness, this guy is something else.

[Edgy MD]

Smoly crapfest.

[Willets Point]

I don't know how people enjoyed major league baseball for 125 years with all the uncertainty over whether or not a baserunner's body may have come a incremental distance off the bag for a fraction of a second.

Good fundies. Rockies held the tag on the runner both times.

[bmfc1]

MLB is tinkering with the rules in A-ball to encourage stealing but sure, let's penalize a player for accidentally, because of physics, leaving the bag for a fraction of a second even though he was clearly safe.



Those two calls tell you not to steal, not to take an extra base, which makes baseball even duller than it can be.

[kcmets]

Need a sliding coach on the bench pronto.



We got this!



#lgm #ygb #ymdyf.

[Edgy MD]

I think those two calls tell me not to be stupid when I slide. It's up to me to listen.



Four balls for Villar. Let's see if he over-walks first base.

[Edgy MD]

Not only was Villar thrown out, but had he been safe, he bounced off the bag twice.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Maybe baseball should make up a rule that Mets baserunners are allowed to walk off the base whenever they feel like it, with impunity, and the defense isnt allowed to tag them out while they're off the base.



Yeah, it's the rules' fault that Villar and deGrom were tagged out, not Villar or deGrom's fault. /rollseyes

[batmagadanleadoff]

After that, baseball could make up another rule where if a Mets batter doesn't like the way his batted ball traveled, he could ask for a do-over.

[Edgy MD]

Sixty-three pitches.



Not only do we lose deGrom on the mound, but we lose his bat as well.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Here's another rule proposal: whenever the Mets opponent wants to challenge an ump's call with a replay review, the Mets manager has the right to veto or block the opponent's replay review request.
