IGT -- 8/3 -- Come with me, or there will be... Trouble.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know what's better than productive outs? ... productive hits, except that we don't tend to do those.

[Edgy MD]

JD's ball sure looked out to me, but if the Mets aren't contesting it, then they ain't.

[Fman99]

Walker settled in eventually.



There seems to be problems with focus going on here. In my expert opinion.

[Fman99]

The other thing that irks me is knowing that with 9 outs left to give, and down one, they'll literally all swing for the tying HR, nine straight turns up. And if none of them hit it then they'll all shrug and go "Oh well, maybe tomorrow we get em"

[Fman99]

Swinging 3-0 like Rudy fucking Stein.

[bmfc1]

Per Fman99's comment, McCann is 0 for his last 10, it's 3-0, he's leading off, why did he swing?

[Frayed Knot]

These Marlin pitchers are Trying to walk you ... stop fighting them!

[Edgy MD]

Ron and Gary are twisting themselves into the ground exploring the swinging 3-0 question.



If you're leading off down by a run, you shouldn't be swinging 3-0, even if your last name is Ruth.

[Edgy MD]

I've kind of had it with Joey Votto coaching our hitters.

[kcmets]

Nimmo's chins are a knee high fastball according to the magic box.

[Frayed Knot]

That's got to be at least six or seven warning track FOs in the last two games.

[Frayed Knot]

Let's hope Bleier is rocky.

Absolutely. They were trying to provide logic to the illogical.

[bmfc1]

I wish that the Mets were as mad at the baseball as they are w/the Marlins and the HP umpire.



For the 2d night in a row, Lugo is on the mound as a 1-run deficit increases.

[Frayed Knot]

He's out by 15 ft with a good throw home

[Edgy MD]

That was old, bad-defense Nimmo.

[kcmets]

Let's GO METS!

[kcmets]

What fucking knees is Gary seeing tonight? Those are called chins.

[Frayed Knot]

We've been out-pitched, out-hit, and out-gloved for two straight nights.

[kcmets]

McCann Can! (finally)

[Edgy MD]

Tantalizingly close.



Do we get an Almora pinch-running appearance?

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta run for him, no?



oe: Yup

[Frayed Knot]

You just knew that tack-on run was going to burn us.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Losers.

[kcmets]

I'd say it's slip slidin' away, but don't want to be dismissively poo-pooed again.

[bmfc1]

Another awful night of Mets baseball.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice hit by McCann, but another loss. So much for beating up on the lowly Marlins.

[bmfc1]

I'm not worried. With all of the smart people in the Front Office and Steve's $ they'll improve the starting pitching and the bullpen at the trade deadline.

Hold on, my Producer is giving me an update...

WHAT? It was LAST WEEK?

Hey, tomorrow is still to be decided.

Oh I wanted to be wrong on this point. But I was not.
