Time to start a new streak

[batmagadanleadoff]

It's a 2:20 start. Not that it matters. Just show up in front of your TV sets at the usual 7o'clock ish or whenever you feel like it. The players'll wait for you whenever you turn your tv on. Then they'll play ball.

[kcmets]

It's a matinee... see sub line...

Not good enough. Unacceptable. Tilt.

[Edgy MD]

J.D.'s current role seems to be taking RBI opportunities away from Alonso.

[Edgy MD]

The idea that everybody sees the ball better in daytime baseball is clearly overstated, but it's like, in the first inning so far, everybody's seeing the ball well.

[Edgy MD]

Francisco Álvarez, possibly seeing the ball better in daytime baseball.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets may have to hire this Imanaga guy for batting practice.



Or perhaps hire the Wrigley weather.

[Edgy MD]

Alternative tops makes the Mets dugout look like it's filled with Cubs, and the Cubs dugout look like it's filled with Mariners.



Also, I love a bunt single.

[kcmets]

I seldom nap. Woke up and it's 6-1?



Let's trade Gelbs to the White Sox for a bag of sweaty jock straps

while they're out there there in Chicago...

[kcmets]

7-1

[MFS62]

Don't forget the Iglesias factor.

I have no fucking idea what it is, but it sounds impressive

Later

[ashie62]

Well well well look at this



No regression here

[kcmets]

This Imanaga guy is having a shotay day at the office...

[Edgy MD]

[Edgy MD]

Nido may make his Cubs debut as a pitcher.



He'd be the second former Met this season to be put in the awkward position of debuting against his former team by throwing mopup lobs.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Listening on a long drive, what a treat

[kcmets]

11-1 through four.



Lindor ends the 4th with magic.. I mean, geez...

Thankfully, seeing the ball better has been limited to the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Quintana is getting a half-hour rest before every inning too.

[Edgy MD]

Also, keep your eyes on the road and hands upon the wheel, Bucket.

I suspect that Quintana's changeup has had a particular effectiveness today.

[kcmets]

Cy Quintana, to us mere mortals...

[Edgy MD]

I bow before his Colombian greatness.

[kcmets]

The Cub uniforms suck, for those without video at the present time.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice to enjoy a pressure-free afternoon game. Baseball like it oughtta be.
