Mets receive BJ's 6/2 IGT

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Chris Bassitt (5-4, 3.80) goes against Verlander (2-2, 4.80) tonight as the Blue Jays come to town.



They are said to have a fearsome offense but aren't doing any better than the Mets this year. In fact both clubs are 30-27.

Sounds like Jeff McNeil. What's happening with him this season? He's having a decent season but it's all singles. This year, he's a light hitting singles hitter with no kind of power and with a decent command of the strike zone. He's kinda killing the Mets from the #3 hole.

Citi Field is always a great place to bring families, as the Mets bid a fond farewell to the children of Roger Clemens and Mark Guthrie, and welcome the children of Vladdy Guerrero, Dante Bichette, Gary Varsho, and Craig Biggio, as well as the greatnephew of Al Luplow.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

As I recall it McNeil was red hot until getting moved up to No. 3. That was about Marte turning into a singles hitter.



I was thinking Baty is our No. 3 guy, at least will be.

[Lefty Specialist]

I just want to say that this thread title made me do a spit-take on my keyboard. Well played.

I guess you could make a case for removing McNeil from the three hole. Maybe he could use some time in the two hole

[Benjamin Grimm]

"Two hole" sounds pretty disgusting.

Skies have darkened and thunder is sounding in Queens

[metirish]

Yeah, as the crow flies I'm not far from Citi Field ( over the bridge in the Bronx ) very ominous weather here

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Rained like hell for 10 minutes but already letting up

[ashie62]

Dark thundering Queens has a ring to it

[ashie62]

Going into a delay. Extended dinnertime

[Frayed Knot]

Weren't dark thundering queens what some LAD players were objecting to?

[kcmets]

Punk night at The Ritz on 11th St.

DtQ opening for Diabetic Squirrels.

[metirish]

It's fine here now

[ashie62]

My brother is at the game



First pitch 8:38

[kcmets]

Jesus, just PLAY BALL!

[The Hot Corner]

I wish they had delayed it a little longer. Springer quickly makes it 1-0 Blue Jays after 1 batter.

[ashie62]

1-0 Bjays

[kcmets]

So, is a batted ball off the pitcher's tuchus and fielded by the first

baseman for the out a 1-3 or a 3U?

[ashie62]

McNeil two out double

[Edgy MD]

Centerfield posted an ussie of him and Pete Alonso over at Facebook. Apparently, the two of them are BFFs now.

[The Hot Corner]

McNeil with a hustle double.

[ashie62]

Pete's struggles continue

SNY stop posting the program alert that tve game is starting at 8:40 , we're in he 2nd inning

[Edgy MD]

Alejandro Kirk, crouching into his batting stance, is lower than some catchers are when they squat.



He's listed at 5'8". He's got to be smaller than that, right?
