Trevor Rogers looks to break the heart of his cousin Steve J.



Mets counter with the incomparable David Peterson.

Hoy es la 20th...

I can compare him to any number of things, but in honor of the day, let us compare him to a summer's day, lovely and more temperate. Later on in this summer's day, we may be comparing him to other things.

[Edgy MD]

Two lefthanded starting pitchers, and a whole phalanx of righthanded batters.

Pete Alonso to Keith Hernandez: "You just have to stay in that mano y mano mindset."



Fun to hear two guys with Spanish names who butcher their Spanish.

[roger_that]

E-5 to start the day. Escobar's 7th of the season. Seems a lot?

Nimmo leads off with a loud double, very possibly could have taken third, decided not to.

[roger_that]

Marte and Lindor both beat out infield grounders. Polar Bear up with bases loaded.

[roger_that]

I never understand why players turn their heads to see the fielders on infield squibbers. Can't be recommended sprinting style, is it?

[roger_that]

If we don't get at least six runs this inning, I am going to be disappointed.

[roger_that]

Alonso fouls off ball 4, Ks on a strike up and on the outside edge.

[Edgy MD]

Pete showed a good eye, there, but Cahna might be the guy I really want up here.

Davis and Alonso leaving money on the table.

[roger_that]

One lousy run is all we get out of Pete batting 3-2, bases loaded, no out?



It is questionable whether that outcome is, in fact, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

[Lefty Specialist]

And a pair of banjo hits and the Marlins are in bizness.



But bizness is closed for the holiday.

[Frayed Knot]

Aside from that little grand slam thing yesterday, do the Marlins have a Non-cheap hit in this whole series?

[roger_that]

And, Mrs. Lincoln, let me ask a followup question....

[Frayed Knot]

Marlins counter our bags loaded/no outs/one run disappointment with their own 1st & 2nd/no outs/Zero runs

effort.





btw, the average # of runs scored in an inning starting with bases loaded/no outs generally hovers around 2.5

[roger_that]

And how does that figure vary when Pete Alonso bats? Up or down, would you suppose?

Another infield hit for the Marlins! A true Baltimore chop. Nothing to be done, though Peterson gave it a shot.

You are not accounting for the crazed and greedy rooter factor.

[Edgy MD]

I'd like to cordially invite Major League Baseball to play Jeff McNeil to pull all year.

[roger_that]

Mr. Squirrel takes second base on a bonehead throw to 3b

[roger_that]

Now Squirrel beats the pitcher to home plate to steal a run



"Squirrel" is one of the longest words in the English language (8 letters) that can be pronounced in a single syllable. "Squelched" at 9 has it beat. Most folks make it two syllables, but it's a judgment call.

Three runs:

• The first on a bases-loaded walk where Cahna had already swung at what should have been ball four;


• The second on pretty short sacrifice fly;


• The third on a wild pitch to the ninth-place hitter.

Not the most auspicious level of performance but I'll take it.



Hey, McNeil's out of the game!!

[roger_that]

Hammy?
