Sunday night game? Used to live for these. Kids in bed, popcorn in bowl, phone in hand to call my dad…



Well, anyway, goodnight!

[ashie62]

Braves score three in the first and Senga throws 41 pitches



New depths

[Edgy MD]

Still 3-0 in the third.



The disgrace has stabilized!

[Frayed Knot]

Senga finds his range in innings 2 and 3

But there's still that whole insurmountable lead thing.

[Frayed Knot]

A HIT w/RISP!!!!

A HIT w/RISP!!!!

[Edgy MD]

And they actually score from scoring position.



And they move another guy into scoring position.



Journey of a thousand miles and all that.

[Frayed Knot]

Pete's turned into a real Three True Outcomes monster during these last few weeks.

[The Hot Corner]

I'm not sure, but are the Mets allowed to score in any manner other than the occasional home run?

[Edgy MD]

Well, they got one on a single there, and the umpire didn't stop the game, so I think it must be technically allowed.

[Frayed Knot]

Tonight's 1/4 w/RiSP isn't much but it's at least an improvement on the 1/23 (Vogelbach's totally meaningless HR) over the first three games of the series.

[Edgy MD]

The answers to the radio kwiz:



Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson, and ...

[Edgy MD]

Jesse Orosco and Julio Franco come to mind.

[Edgy MD]

I checked and ... nope and very much nope.



The question was "On the list of most MLB games played, three of the top ten played for the Mets — who are they?"



Mays (ninth) and Henderson (fourth) are correct. The third guy is neither Franco (duh) nor Orosco (big duh).

[roger_that]

What was the question?

[Edgy MD]

See above.

[Edgy MD]

Here's to the beauty of hit-and-run singles.

[Edgy MD]

LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE BASES-LOADED WALK!!!

[batmagadanleadoff]

Rusty Staub?

[Frayed Knot]

The bases loaded BB ... our old secret weapon.

[Edgy MD]

OE: But replay calls bullshit.

[Fman99]

Ugh, these broadcasters. 5-3 good guys

[Edgy MD]

BUT NO! Bases-loaded. CATCHER'S INTERFERENCE!



The new SECRETEST weapon!!

[Edgy MD]

A ball-in-play!! Two runs on one hit!!



THIS BETTER HOLD UP!!!!

[Edgy MD]

I imagine Senga is going to get pulled after this inning on the "Sitting Too Long" principle.

[Cowtipper]

Ha, it was 7-3 and I was pleasantly surprised, but I didn't get my hopes up. I check again a few moments later and now it's 7-4 ... and now I know why I didn't get my hopes up.
