NYM@BALT - 6/8/21 is d-Day +3 - IGT

[Frayed Knot]

Who was that masked man?

[Lefty Specialist]

Hannibal Lecter with a great catch in center to end the inning.

[Fman99]

He ran that ball down like it was a nice cianti.

[Edgy MD]

Zimmermann seems to have gone electric.

[Frayed Knot]

We're going to need to score tonight but we have two hits thru 4-1/3

[Edgy MD]

Howie, expansion doesn't really dilute talent as it happens more slowly than the expansion of the available player pool.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That Gsucked

[Frayed Knot]

Gsellman: not an improvement (and I was typing that prior to the HR)

[Edgy MD]

I'm starting to come around to the magic-runner-on-second thing.



I mean, if the Orioles are going to keep hitting doubles, you might as well save your pitches.



Hey, Maikel Franco, clubbing the Mets like he used to!

Hey! He got Valaika out!

Turning into a wrong-sided laugher.

Orioles: Six players with 2 hits each by the 5th inning

Mets: 2 hits Total in the 5th

Question in the Booth: When Billy McKinney stole his first base as a Met, he tied two Hall-of-Famers on the Mets' all-time list.



I'm going with Willie Mays and Joe Torre.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm beginning to lose confidence in David Peterson.



I really hope the "Acting" GM is looking for starting pitching from outside the organization. Or maybe they can try to stretch out Lugo? Or Reid-Foley?

[Benjamin Grimm]

My first thought was Eddie Murray. I looked it up. Torre is correct. Murray is not and neither is Mays. The second correct answer is one I would not have guessed.

[Edgy MD]

Three!



Three hits!



Alonso up!

And the answer is ... NOLAN RYAN and Joe Torre.



Willie had two.

HEY! NEW YORK CITY IS DOING RANKED-CHOICE PRIMARY VOTING THIS YEAR!

I'll go with a pitcher. Warren Spahn.

A dollar short.

Howie is losing his memory live on the air right now.

If you live in Astoria, vote for Evie Hantzopoulos for City Council District 22. Her husband is a loyal Mets fan.

[Frayed Knot]

Shirley the Atlanta organist plays the PINK PANTHER theme when Trey Mancini comes to bat.

A Greek in Astoria?

You don't say!

I hope he gets it back, because that's quite a vault he has on his shoulders.

[Frayed Knot]

This is turning into one of those games that I rationalize by saying, that if you're going to not hit, and are going to not pitch, and are going to not field ... you might as well not do them all at the same time.

[Edgy MD]

Drives me crazy in these games to see guys swinging for the fencies.
