When we're done Buehler will need a day off. WRITE IT DOWN

I bet that happened a whole lot when Tommy John pitched.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, if nothing else, this game is moving along at a much quicker pace than last night's affair.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Conboom

[Frayed Knot]

First hit of the game for either side.



4 complete innings in < 1:00

Is that even permitted these days?

[Frayed Knot]

Just 54 pitches thru five for (the good) Walker.

I did some cursory research and you're right. Here's one (with two future Mets pitching in relief):

No-no thru 6 for Taijuan. Pitch count manageable, but boy I wish they'd score a few runs.

You jinxed him. Now it's over.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, that escalated quickly.

[Frayed Knot]

Right time to pull him (IMHO of course)

[Lefty Specialist]

Rojas argues balls and strikes way too much. But Loup bails him out.

[Frayed Knot]

Aaron throws Bellinger for a Loup

[Fman99]

That was a clutch out there!

[Lefty Specialist]

Gary said it best- don't bunt with guys who don't know how to bunt.

[kcmets]

Yeah, a pathetic waste of an important at bat.

[Willets Point]

Bottom of the 8th. Time for the Mets to take the lead and then close it out in the 9th. No fucking around.

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm dreading Trevor May coming into this game. He relies on batters swinging at pitches out of the zone and the Dodgers don't chase. A bad combo.

[bmfc1]

There it is again. A new pitcher, maybe he has nothing tonight, first pitch is a ball, and McNeil flies out on the next pitch. Make him throw a strike. Maybe he won't.

[Willets Point]

They fucked around.

[Frayed Knot]

Two dominant 8th inning relief stints, by Csstro and then by Vesia (who i never heard of prior to just now).

[Frayed Knot]

Conforto - Davis - Villar for the win

[Lefty Specialist]

Lugo gets it to the bottom of the 9th. C'mon boys.

[Lefty Specialist]

Time for the Yennsy Experience.

[bmfc1]

Is the manager trying to conserve Lugo and if so for what?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This could get Yennsy in a hurry

[bmfc1]

Yennsy? We're tennsy.

[Frayed Knot]

J. Turner looking almost human these days.
