MLBN is picking up this game for those of you who might be otherwise shut out of TV coverage. This is not a game where MLBN uses their own guys to do a separate telecast, they'll just pick up one of the home or road feeds and broadcast it (mostly) nationally.

Jake batting not high enough.

[Frayed Knot]

Or often enough

[seawolf17]

Jake could be batting as high as fifth in this lineup and it would make sense.

[Willets Point]

We didn't have to wait to long for the first hit tonight. Lead off double by McKinney.

[Frayed Knot]

Because of the shift the Pads are using, BB-Ref described McKinney triple in Game 1 as resulting from 'a pop-up to 3B-man Machado'.

This one was more of a liner but Machado was out there to fetch the double tonight too.

[bmfc1]

Geez, Pete what happened to your batting eye? Stop trying to be a hero every at bat. Take a damn walk.

Smart strategy by SD conceding a leadoff double knowing that the Mets would strand him.

NYM bats: where RBIs go to die

[Fman99]

Well, shit. A wasted leadoff double. That won't haunt us I bet.

[Fman99]

Man he just toys with these batters. It's great.

[bmfc1]

USA Baseball wins at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie to advance to the Tokyo Olympics. Todd Frazier took his first step toward rejoining the Mets with a big night, including a HR.

[Fman99]

I like Michelle better than Steve Gelbs.

[Edgy MD]

How did I never know Glenn Hoffman was Trevor Hoffman's brother?

[Willets Point]

The Mets cannot afford to field like this.

[Edgy MD]

I want to protect deGrom's perfection as much as anybody, but the Mets oughta be playing back with the bags juiced.

[Edgy MD]

And now, with the strikeout, that point is moot.

[Edgy MD]

Wow. Jake know he got lucky.

[bmfc1]

Jake overcomes the SS's error and the misplay by the 1B in LF. I hate that he wasted all of those pitches and had to pitch "under stress" b/c it will give Luis an excuse to take him out too soon.

[dinosaur jesus]

DeGrom's heartrate is lower than mine, I know that. At 3-2 with the bases loaded, having trouble spotting his breaking pitches, he goes with the same slider the batter has already passed on twice.

[Edgy MD]

Checked swings called for strikes is ruling the day.

[Fman99]

Impressive that he was able to get the rookie to (half) swing on that last 3-2 slider. Seemed like he was going to be able to hold off after those previous ones.

[Willets Point]

Peraza-slam!

[Edgy MD]

Man, Peraza got himself a hanging hanger that hung.



You can't afford to miss that one tonight.

[Fman99]

KABOOOOM for Peraza!

[Frayed Knot]

Peraza hit that one so hard it turned his back pockets inside-out

[bmfc1]

Did you see the sign that said that the Maximum Capacity of the dugout is 13?

[Willets Point]

Lindor-dinger!
