[Edgy MD]

I'll have a double order of James McCann homeruns.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

If nothing else encouraged by Dom off the center field wall on the fly off the closer yesterday, in the starting lineup today



(I actually don't know if whoever was pitching in the 9th was the closer but WHATEVER)

[Lefty Specialist]

Carrasco really needs to get his shit together, stat.

[Edgy MD]

Well-hit balls from Semien and Seager, but Cookiemonster gets a 1-2-3 first.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo's got a hitch.

[Edgy MD]

Starling Marte does NOT have a hitch in his swing.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Getting Marte very smart-ay

[Edgy MD]

Quinn Wolcott's already made some pretty bad calls behind the plate.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is a good moment for the 1st McCann Homer, just saying

[Lefty Specialist]

Once again, McCan't.

Apparently, the kitchen was out of McCann homers.



They better stock up for later.

[Lefty Specialist]

Carrasco just not getting the calls low in the zone from this ump. So he has to come up and he gets burned.

[Edgy MD]

Vet of the game gets a Citi Field flag from Todd Zeile.

[Edgy MD]

How did the Rangers not have a player backing up first on a wild-pitch strikeout?

[Lefty Specialist]

Weirdness! and a weird run!

[The Hot Corner]

McNeil delivers the a gift run to put the Mets back on top.

[Lefty Specialist]

Weirdness continues! Escoboom!!

[Frayed Knot]

Just when you think it's safe to bench Escobar ...

[The Hot Corner]

[bIGPURPLE]EscoBoom!!![/bIGPURPLE]

[The Hot Corner]

Escobar getting it going this series. Homers for third straight game.

[Lefty Specialist]

At least they clear [CROSSOUT]the pitcher's spot[/CROSSOUT] McCann this inning.

[Edgy MD]

McCann has some catching up to do.

[Frayed Knot]

Francisco Lindor: Assist Stealer

[The Hot Corner]

McCann flailing away on a steady diet of breaking balls away. He wasn't close to making contact on either of them, but at least watched to one lone fast ball (also away) that he saw.

[Edgy MD]

That's 86 pitches through five for Carrasco. Do you think Ronnie is right and he's going to get an early exit?

[Lefty Specialist]

I'd have him on a short leash, out if anyone gets on base.

[Edgy MD]

I mostly agree with that, but it seems managers don't play it that way any longer. Nobody gets warmed up as a backup plan any longer. They get up and it usually means they're coming in.

[Lefty Specialist]

Didn't show anyone warming up in the Mets pen yet.
