[ashie62]

It is Walker v Pablo Lopez.



Walker has eight consecutive quality starts.

[G-Fafif]

Day of rest for Starling.

Taijuan Walker

(#99, 29, RHP, 8-2, 2.67)

Pablo Lopez

(#49, 26, RHP, 7-5, 3.03)

[Edgy MD]

When healthy, Nimmo/Marte/Lindor/Alonso have pretty much been written in stone at the top of the lineup.

[roger_that]

Mets seem to be banging low and away breaking pitches pretty consistently this inning.

[Edgy MD]

Taking the mound with a 3-0 lead is living right.

[Edgy MD]

And going out and getting three quick outs is being right.

[Frayed Knot]

Off and running.

[Gwreck]

Thrilled to see bunts against the shift. Keep doing it and they'll stop shifting.

[Frayed Knot]

The expected BA on that Mazeika bunt was 1.000

[roger_that]

Mazeika bunts one to an empty left side--THAT's what I'm talking about!

[roger_that]

I think they got Vogelbach to make Wayne Kirby look slender.

Another hit getting by Rojas.

[roger_that]

11 hits off Pablo Lopez, pitching like he doesn't want to leave Miami.

[roger_that]

I do not get why runners on 2nd (like Canha just now) don't try to draw a throw from RF on a deep fly out to Right.

[Frayed Knot]

"Stallings going out there trying to live up to his name"



That's a good line from Randazzo. The kid might have a future in this business.

And hit #12 gets Lopez out of the game.



Rojas seems to have an above-league Range Factor/9 consistently over his career, and so far in 2022 it's still above league

going into the Atlanta series.

[Edgy MD]

Well, sure, but I'm seeing that as part of the into-Atlanta process — mainly by getting deGrom deployed and working before Atlanta.



Good chance that May and McCann return for the Washington series also.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil: fwee-for-fwee.

I'm not saying to tag, I'm saying to draw a throw. No risk, high payoff if the rushed throw goes wild. Take four running steps to 3B, and see what happens. Standard fundamental of Little Leaguers everywhere.

That's an exceptional arm in RF, fake too well and you might find yourself back-picked.

Canha was tagged but took mo more than an obligatory step as it was obvious he wasn't going anywhere.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nimmo kicks the extra point. 7-0 Jets.

[Frayed Knot]

Nothing spectacular yet, but Naquin has looked quite smooth in both corner spots so far and has played plenty of CF in his time. With Jankowski gone, he's probably Nimmo's backup at this point.
