Great news, we've got a superior bullpen and only need 1 to tie, two to take a lead. Easy enough to do with 3 more innings.



Wait, what's that you say? The rules are arbitrarily different for this game for no good reason? Screw you, Rob Manfred.

It's awful. Just absolutely, unequivocally terrible.

"And here comes Aroldis Chapman, getting his customary greeting from the Yankee Stadium faithful of random gunfire discharged into the air."

Fuck and yes!

[Willets Point]

Third time's the charm.

[Edgy MD]

Pillar available to pinch-hit against Chapstick, probably for McKinney.

[Willets Point]

Ouch!

[Gwreck]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Wait, I mean a shittier guy. Screw you, Chapman.

[Edgy MD]

That's the shoulder Conforto dislocated and tore up that he got hit on.

[Edgy MD]

I'm thinking of running Almora for Conforto.

[bmfc1]

Nice call, WP.

I'm fine with that. With the ghost runner it's unlikely that the lineup will get back to that spot.

Crowd shots of happy Mets guys with sad Yankee girlfriends.

No need for ghost runners if we hit a 2 run double here.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy it'd be really nice to steal this one. The wheels have completely come off on Chapman.

I also don't think he's going to be much use beyond this inning when that welt starts settling in.



Almora is the last bat off the bench in an AL game, so he's most useful as a pinch-runner and defensive sub.

[LWFS]

And AGAIN with the hold at third

[Edgy MD]

Almora would have scored on that?



That's my story, anyhow.

[Willets Point]

One of the minor downsides of the 3-batter rule is that you'll never get the wordplay of Luetge being called in to be a LOOGY.

[Edgy MD]

That's the problem. McCann hits lefties better than Nido, but he's more of a strikeout threat.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Bad K by McCann, swinging at a ball in the dirt.

[Willets Point]

Mets fan pulls a Jeffrey Maier.

[Edgy MD]

Jeffrey Maier in a Mets jersey?!?!

[Gwreck]

Giving Mets fans a bad name. Don't interfere you jackass.

JINX!!!

[Edgy MD]

Met fans are high-fiving this guy on the way out?

I was late because I almost called him Joey.



A RUNNER SCORES FROM SECOND ON A SINGLE!!

[Willets Point]

Brandon Nimmo ends the argument over whether or not that fan cost the Mets a run.

[Lefty Specialist]

ERUPTION!!!!!!



Is it wrong that I have an erection?
