Hunter Greene throws hard, strikes out many and gives us home runs. The is a good park and pitcher for Pete to get untracked.

Mets played a day game, with no extraordinary travel required to get to Cincinnati. Reds in the middle of a homestand…and this 4th of July game starts at 6:40 PM.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

You never know what you're going to get with Hunter Greene. He could easily whiff 15 and throw a 2 hitter; or give up 7 runs in 2 1/3.

Could be worse ... the Yanx don't play at all today.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, these caps are ugly.

[Frayed Knot]

Siddown Votto, your day was three days ago.

Today is for real 'Mericans like Nimmo.

[MFS62]

If you knew that Nido would be the spark to get the offense going, raise your hand.



Anybody?

Anybody?

I certainly didn't think he wasn't going to contribute.



Shortening Greene's workday could go a long way toward helping the Mets sweep.

[ashie62]

Hit them again.

[ashie62]

The caps look like they were dipped in wet paint.

[Edgy MD]

Man, we should've had a plan about pitching to Drury.

[Edgy MD]

Joey Votto seems to have Japanese sci-fi walkup music.

[Edgy MD]

That was a strike, Dom.



If Keef was here, he'd tell you to stop beggin'.

[Edgy MD]

The first time Nimmo came up empty, but it was a terrific at bat. Greene found triple digits but couldn't get it past Brandon.

[Edgy MD]

Just as I'm thinking, "This guy is hard but straight, and Lindor knows it," Lindor SHOWS it.

[Lefty Specialist]

F'in Braves blowing out the Cards tonight. They're relentless.

[Edgy MD]

Mets have run Greene.



Now we're gonna see the https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=rel&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31&sort=16,astoried Reds pen.

[Edgy MD]

Cincy catcher Aramis Ramirez kind of looks like he has a Confederate flag on his chest protector.

[Edgy MD]

If Dom wants to just double from now on, that's fine by me.

That's "Jolene" by Dolly Parton. H/T to Votto for walking up to a classic by a fantastic human.

[Edgy MD]

How did that sound so unrecognizeable? I've only heard it 10,000 times.

[Edgy MD]

Walker with 97 pitches through six, and Imma guess he's done, and we're gonna be seeing some Drew Smith.



Still time to tack on a few against this pen.

[Lefty Specialist]

Good job by Walker. Only threw one bad pitch.

[Edgy MD]

At this rate, the Mets aren't going to give Matt Reynolds much of a post-season share.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have a lot of hard outs tonight:

liner to 2nd

liner to SS

liner to RF

comebacker off the pitcher's back pocket

several deep flies

[The Hot Corner]

McNeil robbed on a line drive nabbed by Reynolds. Escobar comes through and drives in Lindor for some insurance.
