When you think you're off to the races, but end up hitting weak ground balls every at bat instead.

[Edgy MD]

100 strikeouts?!!

[Fman99]

He suddenly looks like he remembered how to be deGrom.

[Gwreck]

Fried out of the game? Curious.

[Edgy MD]

Fried freed!

[Willets Point]

Time to tee of on the BP!

[Frayed Knot]

Well this is an interesting development.

[Fman99]

Yeah he was cruising so I have to think this is a positive development for us

[Edgy MD]

Take a pitch in a DP situation. It won't kill ya.

[Fman99]

Ugh.



I noticed they always call that style of DP the "4-4-3." Is that how you'd score it in a real scorebook? I though it would just go down as a 4-3 with the understanding that the 2nd basement forced the runner and then threw to first

[ashie62]

Fried 71 pitches and out



Big break

[Edgy MD]

I'm guessing Álvarez stays in if he faces a righty, at least for his third trip to the plate.



That might change if it becomes something like two on and one out.

[Edgy MD]

Welp, homers.



Down and too much plate again.

[Fman99]

DAMMIT

[ashie62]

I really hope Jake does not need an MRI tomorrow

[Fman99]

Yeah, booth makes a strong point. Sixth inning has been a bumpy stretch for deGrom. That marks 9 HRs in 64 IPs this year for him. That's not my goat

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Two starts in a row makes me wonder if he is tipping his pitches.

[Willets Point]

I want hits. Now. Lots of them.

[Fman99]

I'd settle for like 2-3 honestly

[Edgy MD]

Mets still looking for their first walk too.



I'm not anticipating no MRI.

[Edgy MD]

Álvarez up as the tying runzel.

[Willets Point]

Time for Álvarez to make a good first impression.

[Fman99]

Dang, kid came up a bit short there. I'm OK with Buck giving him that shot though.

[Willets Point]

It's not like the veterans are doing any better.

[Willets Point]

I hat baseball.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Keep the faith you guys

[Fman99]

Ugh, Megill, looking like Muh-crud

[Fman99]

I hope they're leaving Escobar enough time to produce all the runs we will need

[bmfc1]

Buck is holding auditions in the biggest game of the season, showing no sense of urgency or understanding of the importance of the game by letting Alvarez hit in the 7th and unproven Megill pitch the 7th. And why did he take Jake out after just 86 pitches?

Megill the post-season relief weapon may not be a thing.
