[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tonight the Mets oppose Rye, NY's own George Kirby, a 1st round pick making only his 2nd career start.



Zimmo

Marte

Lindor

Alonso DH

McNeil

Smith, 1B

Escobar

Jankowski, LF

Mazeika C

Bassitt P

[Edgy MD]

Marte and Alonso are the only righthanded hitters in that lineup.



It's good to see Jankowski get off the bench.

[G-Fafif]

When Gary said the Mets would be facing the “Rye, New York, product,” I heard it as the “wry New York product” and hoped his Seattle teammates were enjoying George's sophisticated East Coast asides.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's been light but steady rain for a couple hours here and should be for a few more at least.

[G-Fafif]

The tarp holds an early lead.

[G-Fafif]

8:05 first pitch.

[Edgy MD]

We're getting it in sheets here in Bal'mer.



The system is coming up from the Carolinas, so if they get it started, they may have to play it fast, as what I've got, you're going to be getting.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's not raining here now, they'll get it started. The weatherman will cooperate according to the forecast. Just ⛅️

[G-Fafif]

8:15's the word now.

[G-Fafif]

Hits don't lie.

[Frayed Knot]

Speaking of celebrities: if Seattle 1B Ty France had married Paris Hilton ...

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We're underway. Bassitt having control issues, not in sync with Mazeika

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is weird, like 3 or 4 issues already

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ohh, they picked off Suarez, getting the safe call overturned.



There's only 3 umps as one of em called in sick.

[Frayed Knot]

Out and out cold on the same play.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is going to be going on for 5 hours at this rate as we have the 2nd replay challenge on the same 3rd base umpire, both we won. So Marte has a triple

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kirby can't get his breaking stuff over

[Frayed Knot]

Zero ML runs allowed, eh kid?

Sorry, this is the 2022 New York Mets. Took just three batters to bust that streak.

[Frayed Knot]

So let's call the 2nd inning a slight improvement over the 1st for the Bassitt hound.

[Frayed Knot]

Wait, this FA TE picked the Jets for their culture?!?

Have they checked him for concussions?

[Lefty Specialist]

This might be known as the 'Too Much Steve Gelbs' game.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Let's turn 3

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Bassist and Miezeka still having issues with signs.

[Lefty Specialist]

Bassitt looked really agitated the whole game. After this, there is no way Scherzer will ever throw to him.

[Edgy MD]

There's still plenty of time for Marte to finish up the cycle.

[Fman99]

Yet again the SNY app fails to carry a WPIX game in my neighborhood and I am forced to resort to shady Internet streams to watch the broadcast.



In other news it's surprising that this team continues to win considering how many hitters are scuffling of late.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

O shit

[Edgy MD]

Winker ate that up like he knew that shit was coming.



Mazeika had set up outside, but that pitch was right in the Fonz' wheelhouse.

[Fman99]

Well that's a bummer. Shreve hasn't pitched since Sunday apparently. That may be some rust.
