Old baseball adage: a good groundkeeper can win you three or four games a year.

Sac fly and Canha scores , awful throw "home" by Soto

Big Schaefer points for the groundskeeper tonight.

[metirish]

And again with the bunt , wow

[nymr83]

Wow the Mets grounds crew got a half year worth of work in today, bonuses coming from Uncle Stevie I hope

As Nido's power knocks Yu out of the game.

Robertson certainly looking like quite the get.

[Frayed Knot]

Looks more like Domingo Tapioca ... amirite folks?

[Edgy MD]

"Domingo Tapia" = Sunday Wall

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Domingo Tapia was a Met prospect at one time, don't know how we lost him

[Fman99]

We were rooting for the "Defensive Indifference" graphic there

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure any runner has ever been as thoroughly ignored as much as Otto has ignored Bogaerts this inning.

[metirish]

Nice win , Gare with the little extra on the final call

[Edgy MD]

Terrific pen game after some early control shakiness the Pads couldn't capitalize on.

[Fman99]

BOOOOOKS

[Frayed Knot]

Great bullpenning tonight + two clutch dubbles!

[The Hot Corner]

I like Keith's remark as Nido's swinging "bunt" died on the chalk of the third base line. Keith, "It wanted to go foul, it just ran out of steam."

[Gwreck]

Excellent win. More like these please.

When they first started doing these, it was Gary reading the odds. I'm willing to bet at one point he said, "I refuse to do this" and the task was handed to Gelbs, who'll do anything and everything to get air time.



It's unbelievably stupid, but MLB has bowed down to the gambling gods.



But hey, good win. Nice to finally rough up Darvish a bit.

I suspect that that's exactly how it went down. Gary never sounded as unenthusiastic in his whole career as he did when tasked to read those ads himself.

It's unbelievably stupid, but MLB has bowed down to the gambling gods.

And the worst part is that they're not merely trying to appeal to the guy with a few bucks on the game. By placing those ads mid- or even late-game with the to-the-minute updated odds they're

catering to the hard core dudes who are looking to either double up on a bet they're already winning or are desperate for a way to 'get even' for pre-game bet(s) which are already shot.

Not to get off topic here but this ran last week on Fresh Air , worth the half hour on why sports is all I'm with gambling
