Later

[Edgy MD]

Hey!! Four runs in the first.



A few more innings like that would be helpful.



And when I write "a few," I'm thinking nine.

[whippoorwill]

Or 19

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't think Sixto Sanchez was even going to come out for the 2nd inning much less

ggetting through the 4th and doing so basically untouched.

[Cowtipper]

The word to describe the Mets game today will be "melancholic." I repeat, "melancholic."

[Edgy MD]

Keith didn't like the bullfight.

[Cowtipper]

That Bell out just kept carrying.

[Cowtipper]

Bader's batting gloves and shin guards look ridiculous.

[Cowtipper]

Burger looks like if he was a cop, he'd be like Officer Farva.

[Cowtipper]

Sean Reid-Foley's mustache and this whole mustache societal trend is great. I hope they bring back those big 1980s eyeglasses next.

[Cowtipper]

Uh oh, things are starting to look melancholic.

[Cowtipper]

Gary talking about how SRF and Garrett have had a "couple off-beat outings," like they're anomalous. No, Gary, what SRF and Garrett have been SO FAR is what's anomalous, and they're just coming down to earth. "Regression to the mean."

[metirish]

These caps are awful

[Cowtipper]

Random Echo and the Bunnyman reference, I LQTM'd.

[Cowtipper]

Gary's had a couple funny quips, usually Keith is the one that makes me laugh, but Gary's doing well today.

[Frayed Knot]

Now up to six straight goose eggs following the opening inning barrage.

No way any of this will come back to bite them.

[Cowtipper]

Harrison Bader is the first "Bader" to play in MLB in about a century.

And so it begins

[Cowtipper]

Oh, what a melancholic turn of events.

[Edgy MD]

That's two Fish hitting their first dongs of the year.

[Cowtipper]

It's that pubey-looking facial hair on Diekman's face that's bringing him down.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that was a nice gift.

[Cowtipper]

Diekman's tossing some pitches a little too close to directly over the heart of the plate.

[Cowtipper]

MLB.tv is half-off today if anyone is interested, by the way. I bought a subscription earlier today.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Getting nervous.

I start feeling that way about 10 minutes before first pitch.

[Cowtipper]

Gary mentioned Dom Smith.



Hard to believe he was a first rounder.* They never even found a real role for him on the team, despite him being there for six years. Six years is equally stunning...the dude just never really turned the corner and was the epitome of 'blah.'



*not just 1st round, 11th overall.

[Edgy MD]

It's very easy to believe he was a first-rounder.



I witnessed it.

[Edgy MD]

Garrett for the eighth.



They're not planning to close with Walker.

Injury updates:



Ronny Mauricio—Expected to be out until at least Sep 1.



David Peterson—"Strikes out eight in rehab start: Peterson (hip) struck out eight over 5.1 scoreless innings in his latest rehab start Tuesday for Double-A Binghamton. He scattered five hits and didn't walk a batter. Peterson opened the season on the 60-day injured list while he completed his recovery from Nov. 6 surgery to address a torn labrum in his left hip, but the southpaw looks on pace to be activated on or around when he's first eligible May 27. He tossed 70 pitches (53 strikes) in Tuesday's outing, his first with Binghamton and the fourth outing overall of his rehab assignment. Peterson will likely shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Syracuse and should require just one or two more tune-up starts before making his way back from the IL. The Mets have a full rotation at the moment, so Peterson -- who has a minor-league option remaining -- could end up sticking around with Syracuse upon his activation." Expected to be out until at least May 27.



Francisco Alvarez—"Gets stitches removed: Alvarez had the stitches removed Monday [May 6] from his surgically repaired left thumb, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Alvarez underwent surgery April 23 to address a torn UCL in the thumb on his glove hand. At the time his surgery was performed, the Mets estimated that Alvarez would need eight weeks to make a full recovery, so he appears unlikely to return from the injured list until around late June. A more precise target date for his return should come into focus once he resumes taking batting practice and performing defensive drills." Expected to be out until at least Jun 15.
