Kyle Gibson needs the correct logo — unless the message is “every opponent is essentially a Brave”.

[kcmets]

Just seeing if anyone is paying attention!

People can have all the immature fun they want with José Butto's surname, but the Italian word "butto" translates in English to mean throw, or I throw. Didn't see that coming, did you?



Of course, José is from Venezuela, where the most common language is Spanish, and "butto" in Spanish just translates to butt. I imagine you more or less did see that one coming.



José originally signed with the Mets in June 2017 for a bonus of $5,000, or less than Eduardo Escobar's tab for one night at Fogo de Chão.

Helluva start as strike 1 was a ball and strike 2 wasn't a swing so Nimmo had to swing at a bad pitch for strike 3.

Can we get a refund?

[metsmarathon]

let's go, joey butts.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Rough start. But if he can settle down we can get those back in this bandbox.

[ashie62]

Shelled. Lousy pitcher

[ashie62]

38 pitches for Butt in the first

[ashie62]

I guess Megill is shot

I move we change his name from Jose to Giuseppe NOW!!

[Gwreck]

Baty needs to be more patient.

[ashie62]

Baty lol

[ashie62]

2 runs on Philly keystone cops

[MFS62]

He reminds me of the "Where do they find these guys?" thread.

He is the 15th rated prospect in the organization.

The fact that the organization thought he was ready after pitching to a 4.00 ERA in AA and 6.00 in AAA tells me that maybe, just maybe, he wasn't. (Talking about Butto)



Later

[ashie62]

Inning two for Butto. I guess he was the best the Mets could do today

[ashie62]

Waiting for a slugfest to break out

[ashie62]

Nice recovery by Butto

[ashie62]

Got to love the Vogelbach



4-3

[bmfc1]

Way to go Vogelbach!

[Gwreck]

Mets are a good offensive team. Just keep chipping away.

[Edgy MD]

Double plays are poo. The Mets should have three runs this inning, and so far only have one.

[ashie62]

Is Vogelbach hurt?

[ashie62]

Should have scored

[Edgy MD]

It's funny to see Stott reach base with the same kind of toothpick swing that got his phellow Phillies shortstop Larry Bowa 2,200 hits.

[Edgy MD]

Getting confused seeing the top of a blue hat and thinking it's a Met but it isn't.
