This standing around is disgraceful.



The Dodgers bringing in a position player would also be disgraceful.

[Edgy MD]

Showalter should be burning down the building right now.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets should get two free baserunners in the first tomorrow.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah this is bullshit especially at 130 in the morning

[Edgy MD]

It might seem pissy to do with a five-run lead, but Buck should be playing this game under protest. The umpires are just randomly guessing.

[Edgy MD]

The odd thing is, if Pete Alonso goes and hits a third homer, THEN they can bring McKinstry in, and this will all have been an exercise.

[Edgy MD]

C.B. Bucknor is no rookie, either.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Put it in Los Books

[Edgy MD]

Holderman gets credited as winning pitcher, despite getting only one out, and coming out of the game before the end of the fifth.



Relievers can earn wins before the 15th out, but starters cannot. Weird.



Apart from the weirdness, though, Colin Fucking Holderman is three and fucking oh in his big league fucking career.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Believe it's the second Peterson appearance in a row that Holderman kept from disaster

[Fman99]

I forgot Torre ever managed in Los Angeles.

its LA, they don't need an invitation to leave early

[Lefty Specialist]

I bet Alonso's happy the Home Run Derby is in LA this year. I enjoyed Graterol's disbelief that the ball went out even though Pete just flicked at it.

The old 'Let the hard-throwing pitcher supply the power' theory.





So what was this umpire screw-up thing I missed all about?

Roberts tried to save his bullpen by bringing in a position player (McKinstry) to pitch but rules forbid that now if the team is down by fewer than 6. So, Roberts didn;t know the rule; CB Bucknor did--but didn't know how to enforce it. So they stood around for 11+ minutes. The Dodgers were insistent their pitcher have adequate time to warm up once they determined it was disallowed--but the whole thing goes against this new sensitivity to pitcher injury.



I don't know how you penalize a between innings defensive rulebreaking. There's a remedy for batting out of order (batter out); should they give the Mets an additional out?

Easy, either he brings in a cold guy or he can continue with the one who finished up the last inning.

What, is that guy somehow unable to come back out because he already has his feet up, slippers on, and is halfway through his first Budweiser?

[bmfc1]

"Are you sure that's the rule?", Roberts asked (not a verbatim quote) and the umps said, "F you, we're the F'in umps, you're out of the game, and if you don't have a pitcher ready to throw in 30 seconds you forfeit" (not said and Roberts would have accepted that) but instead they said "you're right, we stupid, let's check" (said in effect) so everyone wasted 11 minutes because Roberts didn't know the rule and the umps had no stones.

[batmagadanleadoff]

On the night Gil's Dodger # was retired, the Mets coulda contributed by wearing 1969 throwbacks with the centennial patch.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, it was a missed opp all around. They could have worn a version of Brooklyn Dodgers road uniforms with New York and NY on the uniform. But 1969 was the way to go.



Did Vin Scully appear?
