[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I'll take a turn.



Max Scherzer, 4-1, 2.66, for the good guys, Jordan Hicks, 1-3, 4.15, for the Cards.

Jordan Hicks has been a relief pitcher thus far in his career. May the Mets Maximize their attack upon this experiment.

That's a beautiful guitar that Mr. Lifeson is sportin' there.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'll be making a rare Wednesday Night Mets appearance at this one too. Section 323 with a guy I used to know in college

[Lefty Specialist]

I hope Guillorme is in the lineup. Run up that pitch count.

[kcmets]

Buck's a little slow today on the public posting of a lineup.

unfortunately the Mets seem better at running up the pitch count than they are at running up the score

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Glad to see Nimmo in the lineup!

[Edgy MD]

Not even DH'ing him.

[roger_that]

Wait. I thought Nimmo's taking a day off was supposed to put McNeil in LF.

[vtmet7]

Waiting to watch the game on MLB Network...unfortunately, MLB Network had the Dodgers/D'Backs at 4pm, and only the top of the 8th in that game...

[Frayed Knot]

Scherzer dis any diplomats yet today?

[Edgy MD]

Luis Guillorme, looking like an outfielder.

[Frayed Knot]

11 pitch 1-2-3 top of the 1st

[kcmets]

Jeff McNeil, Professional Hitter!

[Edgy MD]

MvpNeil

32 pitch much less clean bottom of the 1st

[Frayed Knot]

I hadn't noticed that change in the infield cut-outs before.

No idea what the thinking was behind that.

[Edgy MD]

The booth talked through it a couple of days ago. I don't quite remember, but it had something to do with it being easier to pop replacement sod tiles in and out when there is a soccer game or something.

[ashie62]

Max getting ripped.

[Edgy MD]

Derek Jeter is probably out of Albert Pujols' reach.

At least they are not cardboard cutouts.

Yeah. After Molitor, who's next and only a few more away, Yaz is next but a full 100 more hits. That's probably a bridge too far for Albert.

That was only his 12th hit on the season.

[Edgy MD]

Man, if Guillorme was a hair faster and beat out that GiDP, he'd have scored on this Zeke double.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon Nimmo has a problem with bat sniffing.



It's becoming a thing.

[Frayed Knot]

Mazeika or Bazooka?

[Edgy MD]

These delayed injury checks and replacements are getting weird.



Letting Tommy Edman run into the clubhouse, get his glove, and then come out take warm-up grounders and stretch is kind of goofy.



The guy got hurt in the last half inning. Get ready in case he needs to come out.

Pete Alonso, RBI Machine!
