Been flat since they got back from the coast. Since San Francisco, really. I don't know that there was any similar lull last year before September.

[ashie62]

The Mets had no discernable lull last season until Atlanta

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Nothing is working offensively, but Rodriguez is finally getting his pitch count up.

[ashie62]

True, bats seem totally impotent though

[ashie62]

Verlander looked good, Riley Greene homered on a nicely placed 12-6 curveball

[Edgy MD]

Lindor just chased a 3-2 pitch a foot outside.

[Edgy MD]

And Alonso chases a change in the dirt.

[Edgy MD]

Mets 2-for-22 as Pham goes down looking.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

This is bad. Rodriguez is a good pitcher. But he's not THIS good.

[ashie62]

Promote Mark Vientos



Nothing to lose giving him a shot

[metirish]

2 hits , wow

[Edgy MD]

I support the Vientos case, but there's always something to lose.



Check out the Tiger starter, pitching into the eighth.



That's still legal, apparently.

[ashie62]

Appears that Rodriguez is done for the day. Really?



Opportunity knocks

Wouldn't it be nice if it started a trend

[Edgy MD]

Keith is right. The Tiggs are doing the Mets a favor by pulling this guy.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

what uni number did Leone wear? I missed his inning

[ashie62]

Baez gets plunked, tee hee

[ashie62]

RALLY!!

[ashie62]

No!!!



Vogelbach!!

Nimmo bingles

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo reaching is as encouraging as I could have hoped for.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo's dunderheaded play in the ninth has been going on for years.

[Edgy MD]

I probably would have challenged that call in the ninth, just to roll the dice. He looked probably out, but you might as well be annoying on the way out of town.

[kcmets]

Your, .500, New-York-Mets!!

[Gwreck]

Has Nimmo gone insane?



Been dropped on his head?



What possible could he be stealing bases in the 9th down 2 runs?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

he got tagged right in the face and knew it. what an idiot

[Edgy MD]

I'm telling you, he's always been a numbskull in the ninth.

[metirish]

I'm speechless

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder what he'll have to say for himself.

[Edgy MD]

There is an upside to running there, and that's staying out of the double-play, so you take the base if they're giving it to you.



They apparently weren't giving it to him.
