[Fman99]

These Pirate broadcasters are epically bad. Holy schmoly.

Another lousy call by Marvin Hudson but at least Gary C. and Keith are amused.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, goodness, Diaz!

[Frayed Knot]

Creeping up on four hours.

[Edgy MD]

We've got to put more money in the Throw-a-Strike Fund.

[Frayed Knot]

Can they hit into GiDPs too?



... missing turning that GiDP in the 8th led to the 3R HR

[Frayed Knot]

So the two best relievers we have have retired three of the 11 hitters they've faced.

[Edgy MD]

Ump missed strike three there.

[Edgy MD]

Didn't miss that one.

[Frayed Knot]

That was a strike Polanco and so was the previous one.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fuck this team

[Frayed Knot]

Well fuck!

[Edgy MD]

And that's it all.

[bmfc1]

I don't think that I ever want to watch another baseball game.

[bmfc1]

It's the Kurt Suzuki game all over game.

Sell everyone. Play for next year. Trade Diaz. Fuck this team.

[Frayed Knot]

This is like the three worst losses of the year ... IN A ROW!!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Incredible.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I'll betchyouse the Mets ain't puttin' on no blarin' loud music in the locker room tonight.

Against one of the worst teams in baseball. It shows you that the Mets aren't good. They've just been not as bad as WSH, PHI, ATL and MIA so far. Emphasis on "so far".

[Edgy MD]

Today would have been a really nice time for one of those old seven-inning games they used to have.

[batmagadanleadoff]

And bad luck. If not for rain and injury, deGrom would've faced the Pirates twice.

[Centerfield]

Brutal.



So first of all, you can't leave a guy in to give up five runs.



And if course Diaz and Lugo can't do that. Ever.



No words.

That was brutal. My son and I both went to bed feeling like we had been kicked in the stomach.

[MFS62]

Did anyone interview Tylor Megill after the game?

He must be pissed.



Later

[ashie62]

47-42 and deGrom is on the shelf.

[Methead]

Yikes. I went to bed as soon as Lugo came in... figured it was pretty much a done deal at that point.

[kcmets]

I went to sleep at 6-sniffle. I checked my DVR this morning to pick up where I left off

and recording ended with that score. (note to self, add another 90 minutes to this re-

curring recording). When I saw they lost my jaw dropped. I guess I've been spared

having not witnessed the meltdown live or on tape so there's that for me.

[Frayed Knot]

Reader's Digest version: Lugo & Diaz faced 13 hitters between them and wound up retiring four while leaving none on base because the last pitch each threw wound up on the wrong side of the OF wall for a combined 7 RBIs

[bmfc1]

It wasn't Marvin Hudson's fault that the Mets lost but his call on Polanco didn't help.
