The dreaded leadoff double hurts the Mets again.

In another two weeks, the Mets can waive Hill (great pickup, Zack!) and get a look at someone for 2022.

[Edgy MD]

Series with substitute announcers seem to forebode ill tidings.

[Edgy MD]

Well, this Pujols guy.

[G-Fafif]

Old Dude still has some pop.

[Frayed Knot]

When did this get changed to a 4 o'clock start?

My sked said 9:10 and I just now randomly turned on FS1 to see if there was a ballgame on.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, Nimmo can hit Scherzer at least.

And, Surprise!, the HR came with the bases empty.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good AB by Scooter here....

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Loaded

[Frayed Knot]

Mets manage consecutive ABs that produce a HR, 2B, HBP & BB in the only possible combination that could produce just one run.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Dammit

[bmfc1]

Can you strike out 3X in one-week w/the bases loaded? JD Davis can.

[Frayed Knot]

Not even remotely disappointed at the way the inning ultimately ended because it never occurred to me that any other result was even in play.

[bmfc1]

When Lindor and Baez return tomorrow, Luis will have a tough time figuring out who should play 3B and LF b/c no one deserves to start.

[Frayed Knot]

At least we got Scherzer out of the game and are in to the LAD pen ... against whom we're probably hitless thru 5-1/2 games so far.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Cast-noooo!

[Frayed Knot]

It's like, all you need to do is imagine the worst outcome for any particular situation, on offense or on defense, and it magically happens!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Castro



Crack that WHIP!

Lose your slider grip

Bury your pitch

Miss one on the black

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zeile is pretty good as a color guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Hitting against the shift only works when you Don't hit it directly to the lone fielder on the off side.

[ashie62]

Considering Dodgers homered twice in the first Metsies are hanging tough.

[Frayed Knot]

Just tough enough to lose by one.





K. Jansen in Friday night's game:

Strike 1, FO

Strike 1, GO

Strike 1, Strike 2, Strike 3



An 8 pitch save

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Today: HBP

[ashie62]

Yeah!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That was insane

[Edgy MD]

Man, Pillar is a lucky dude.

[Frayed Knot]

Holy Shit that wax a dumb move that worked !!!!!!
