Cano: 'I've been a hitter my whole life'



Yes, but you've never been 39 y/o and coming off a year's worth of inactivity before.

[Edgy MD]

Big hit by Canha.



Let it trigger my regular animus for the stands jutting toward the foul line in the outfield. I hate that crap. It's so Yankee Stadium. A ball over the bag and down the line should bounce around the corner.

I'm Jeff Fuckin McNeil and you can suck my fat one

[Edgy MD]

Jeff McNeil may end up leading this team offensively from the eight-hole.

[Lefty Specialist]

Megill didn't have his best stuff but allowed no hits. And McNeil is the Squirrel of Old.



12 outs from this bullpen always worries me, though.

[Edgy MD]

88 pitches is sure earlier than I'd've pulled him.

[Edgy MD]

Drew Smitty not only struck out the side, but the one guy he lost — Harper on a walk — didn't seem to have a clue against him either.

[Edgy MD]

That's what's wrong with the oven mitts. It makes it harder to hang onto the bag.

[Edgy MD]

Kaboom by Alonso, but ... I think he missed first.

[Edgy MD]

Nope, he hit it.

[Frayed Knot]

I wouldn't have overturned that call either (but you already knew that). Whenever the phrase 'I can't tell if the pants leg is still touching the base' is used, it's time to abandon the attempt.











First ball Pete's even hit hard recently.

[Edgy MD]

That was a pretty sudsy outing for Smith.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Joely ain't smelly

[Frayed Knot]

You set up that GiDP very nicely Joely ... now don't do it again.

[Edgy MD]

That was a lot of responsibility to put in Joely's hands, but ... we're through seven!



Who's next? Ottavino? Lugo? Shreve? Maybone?

[kcmets]

Phils no hits through 7 - I can say that since we're on pitcher number

three, right. Fun stuff, hope it lasts...

[Edgy MD]

Canoodle came that close to winning the crowd back.

[Lefty Specialist]

Even when Cano does something good, he screws it up.

[Gwreck]

Does Joely go back out for the first two lefties in the 8th?

[Gwreck]

Spotted here tonight: Darryl S., to a big round of applause.

[kcmets]

He's still 6' 6"

[Edgy MD]

Indeed. Hard to miss, full stop.



Gary's point — that the Mets pitchers have really labored long and hard no matter how many hits they've allowed — is not lost.

[Lefty Specialist]

Loogy in with a runner on.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Holy shit, guys

[Edgy MD]

Here's hoping Díaz is wearing his lucky underwear.

[Lefty Specialist]

The tension isn't quite as high with multiple pitchers, but dayum........

[Edgy MD]

Send Scherzer out for the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

Gregorius lost the grip on the ball because Nelson is greasing!

I'd prefer he wear his good underwear
