It was like a cannon shot from a video game

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA KNEW IT. I just knew it.



This guy sucks.

[ashie62]

Don't drink and post for a start

[Cowtipper]

Diaz's season ERA is now a very attractive 5.50.



Timmy needs to put his trumpet away.



Take away 2022 and his ERA with the Mets is now 4.17.

Cool



Score runs

[Cowtipper]

They scored 9.



Diaz just blew it because he, himself, blows.

[Frayed Knot]

And nobody even gets the ball out of the infield.

[Cowtipper]

I'm so sick and tired of watching what is supposed to be a star-studded team consistently suck.



These guys aren't all superstars, but many have All-Star quality.



It's year-in and year-out. We had Scherzer AND Verlander last year and finished with a losing record.



Gets old.

Mets outfield kinda of asleep again

[Cowtipper]

And they lost just to a 14-32 team.

[ashie62]

What a horrible horrible loss



Horrible



5 games under

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Welp

[metirish]

I want to say unbelievable, but, it's not

[The Hot Corner]

Well, that was depressing.



At least I learned a new word, lachrymose, which ended up being fitting for this game.

[ashie62]

This game will be remembered for some time

[whippoorwill]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?? It was 7-2 WHEN I LAST LOOKED

[Fman99]

Brutal

[MFS62]

I think it is time to start worrying about Diaz.

Later

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's 2019 again for Edwin Diaz.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, like they say, it's always darkest before it goes pitch black.

I can read numbers. That's not what you wrote.

What's so hard to understand? He wrote this:


=Cowtipper post_id=155720 time=1716068782 user_id=166]
Nimmo is playing like he signed a $160 million contract last year and now he doesn't have to care anymore.

[Edgy MD]

I think it's obvious to everyone else posting in the thread, and I hope that includes yourself, but listing a statistical indicator of the player's success is not evidence in support of the poster's characterization of the player's effort, which is what the poster criticized.



I don't know why we have to have semantic conversations, indulging a poster who is simply playing stupid as a way to avoid accounting for himself.



It's really, really easy to do better.
