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.

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.

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 !!!!!!
