Decent lineup



Megill will be tested early and often

[Edgy MD]

The Orioles should just go ahead and change their name to The Ryans.

[Frayed Knot]

Say goodnight Gracie

[Frayed Knot]

The low-K rate pitcher Ks four of the first five.

The other was a weak grounder.

[Edgy MD]

Gibson isn't even much of strikeout pitcher.



He's sure piling them up tonight, though.

[Frayed Knot]

1) K, K, Weak Grounder

2) K, K, Weak Grounder

3) K, Weak Grounder, K



Anyone noticing a pattern here?

[ashie62]

Get a hit guys

[Frayed Knot]

A ball out of the infield!!!!

Take the ball out of play.

Get it to the Authenticator.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil brought his bat!

[ashie62]

=ashie62 post_id=134140 time=1691280254 user_id=90]Get a hit guys

[Edgy MD]

Kyle Gibson is going for his career strikeout high, I imagine.

[Edgy MD]

Get a hit guys They responded Even Jeffy

[ashie62]

Tylor Megill you bat rastard

[MFS62]

Did Megill show anything that he can build on from this performance?

Did it look like he learned anything from his time in the minors?

Asking the folks who saw the game.



Later

[Frayed Knot]

Disappointed that this pitcher, Coulombe, pronounces his name Cool-lome rather than Column-Bee because it would be cool if Column-Bee could relieve current ChiSox reliever Alex Colome [Column-Ay] during a game.

[Edgy MD]

The Orioles are relentless.



Look a little like the Mets a year ago, if you squint.

[Frayed Knot]

Given ar least a dozen opportunities to throw a runner out on the bases over the last few days (at all four bases) the Mets have succeeded in throwing out None of them.

[Edgy MD]

Alonso opens the ninth wif a double.



Baty is the tying run on double deck.

[Edgy MD]

Vogel with a liner, and Marte with a flail.



Two out and the tying run is named D.J. Stewart, on double deck.

[Edgy MD]

Oh-for-August.

[Frayed Knot]

A game where we trailed from the 1st, never led, and never really threatened, ... and yet this 4-run loss seemed like an improvement.

[The Hot Corner]

It is going to be a long rest of the season. It appears that victories will be a rare commodity (even rarer than April to July).

[Fman99]

I put it on late, they were losing, as I listened they gave up more runs, and I switched it off. That may be the 2023 season in a nutshell.

[Edgy MD]

They were in the game for about 10 seconds there. You missed it.



It was a no-win situation there in the middle innings. The Mets seemed doomed if they pulled Megill, and ultimately were doomed for leaving him in.
