Please explain your nickname methodology.

We traded for Diaz specifically to strike out that guy in that spot. VERY nice.

Whew. That inning scared me

Yeah, I'm glad there's room for a Pablo Sandoval in this league. I was just terrified during that at-bat.

[Edgy MD]

Man, it always surprises me that Shane Greene (a) isn't a Phillie, and ( never has been.



It's just the Philliest of names.

[Lefty Specialist]

Greene looks like Captain Obvious out there.

[Frayed Knot]

So the return of McNeil and Conforto have certainly been a tonic for the two-hitter/shutout blues.

[bmfc1]

McKinney is 0 for his last 16. He was a great pickup but I guess that he'll get sent down when Nimmo returns.

[seawolf17]

I love this new Lindor.

[Edgy MD]

Heed the Healthy Hamstrings!!TM

Long game, but lotsa action.



Even with a four-run pad, I can't say I'm feeling good about the Mets seemingly have no other available pitchers.

[Edgy MD]

This has been a very squeezy game for Diaz.

[Lefty Specialist]

Bookaroonies!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Good team win, Mets.

[seawolf17]

Good for an off day tomorrow. Let everyone rest up, and then go get them Phillies.

Tylor Megill makes his MLB debut. Mr. and Mrs. Fafif make their 2021 Citi Field debut. Perhaps somebody who isn't a Brave crosses a plate.

The action commences at 7:10. May none of us crumple in pain.

[Fman99]

I made it to the middle of the 9th. I felt pretty good about going to bed with the Mets up 4. Four hour games can eat a bag of stewed assholes.

[kcmets]

=G-Fafif post_id=68983 time=1624513386 user_id=55]you just don't get that from cardboard cutouts

[Edgy MD]

I dunno. That was a pretty action-packed four hours.

Was this before or after the booth said they both made their debut at 25 years and 322 days old (or whatever it was).

[Edgy MD]

I like him in the rotation, at least for now. I think it'll mean a lot if the team can back him and take the burden of perfection of his shoulders.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Where had he ranked on the prospect charts?

[Edgy MD]

Mostly not particularly high. MLB.com had him at 21st but this year he has already passed number #20 Franklyn Kilome and #10 Thomas Szapucki.



But that just feeds the deGrom comparison. Jacob got to AAA and blew past Zack Wheeler and Rafael Montero. Prospect ranking is educated guesswork. THEY CAN'T SEE A MAN'S HEART!
