Looked like a catch to me.

[Edgy MD]

Seemed like a silly play to burn a challenge on. The only thing that makes that look like anything but a clean catch is wishful thinking.



Cutch is like Ralph Malph. He's still got it.

Yeah, it might have hit the padding first, but I can't overturn it based on what we saw.



And they need to rethink that design. It's just too easy to misread those, it happens all the time out in LCF

It was a crew review, not a NYM challenge.

[Edgy MD]

Rafael Marchan is listed at 5'9" and looks about three or four inches shorter.

Solly. I had the sound off at the time.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Keith, you held on Joaquin Andujar.

[Edgy MD]

I always find it odd when they change the booth alignment in Game Two of a doubleheader. If Keith was showing up for work today, you might as well use him both games and give him a full day off on another day.



Here he is showing up for Game Two of the doubleheader like he's a backup catcher.

[Edgy MD]

And on that cue, we get a story of Keith's misadventures getting to the park.

[Edgy MD]

Keith doesn't have a GPS?

[Edgy MD]

Man, Peterson looked like the worst bunter since Pedro Martinez for his first two attempts, and then he gets a perfect one down on his last try.

[Edgy MD]

Bohm can really be a big old baby.

[Frayed Knot]

This isn't quite '99, at least not yet.

But it's starting to have that same kind of feeling about it where you find yourself semi-surprised when even a hard hit ball isn't turned into an out by the infield.

[Edgy MD]

Last night, I was wondering who Gary was watching as a minor league Braves announcer. My first guess was Ron Gant, and he confirms that tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Isn't any hit to Bohm a butcher boy play?



OHHHHH!

[Edgy MD]

Shmeterson seems to have found his confidence.

[Edgy MD]

And there it goeth.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here we go, Billy Batts

[Edgy MD]

It got quiet in here. Good to have company.



Mets have Pillar, Guillorme, Almora, Mazeika, Peterson due up.



Conforto, McSkinny, McCann, Peraza, and Blankenhorn available off the bench.

[Edgy MD]

McKinney for Pillar. Hmmm ...

[Edgy MD]

Hmmm ... my ass!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Go Phillies infield

[Edgy MD]

Amazin' that Girardi even left Bohm in there.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here we go Mazeek
