If you liked the strut of yesterday's lineups, you're going to love the style of today's. For the second straight day, both teams are deploying lefthanded starters, and for the second straight day, both managers are deploying the same lineup card, with the lone exception of Carlos Mendoza flip-flopping Álvarez and Taylor.

Late scratch! J.D. Martinez is resting a sore ankle due to too much stray-cat strutting.



Vientos batting thoid and Luís Torrens is your new DH.

[ashie62]

Dial it in Sean

[ashie62]

Hard to believe Zack Short and Joey Wendle were used before Iglesias

[ashie62]

James Wood up, the chosen one



1-3

[ashie62]

Cmon Lindor get your head out of your arse

[ashie62]

Gotta play some defense guys

[Lefty Specialist]

It's only 1-0 but Manaea sure puts ya through the wringer.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, one walk and four singles, three of which haven't left the IF and all should have been outs even though no errors.

Not hanging this one on Manaea ... at least not yet.

[Edgy MD]

Strike three looking on the Álvarez. Gah.

[Edgy MD]

Manaea allowed to go 6 1/3!!



Moral victory!!

[Edgy MD]

[FIMG=250]https://www.wesleyjohnston.com/users/ireland/maps/counties/tyrone.gif[/FIMG][bIGPURPLE]![/bIGPURPLE]



Super catch by Tyronian and Manaea has gone a personal Mets high (and what other personal best matters) of seven innings.



Mets got everything but a lead.

[kcmets]

Is bmfc sitting behind home plate or is that some comic imposter

looking like him without my glasses on?

[Edgy MD]

I'm not able to watch, but he's totally at the game, and has been https://nationals.fancam.com/20240701?s=north-view&atv=5.398&ath=-61.057&fov=0.683&share=tag&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3LP2OXjr9kNUKrUgWI5lwYU8gAWBeTOsSSs9Mj75nOSKBwalYRB0b7loU_aem_8RP4CzTDzKj1Qst3567SEQon the fan cam. He's wearing a blue jersey and hat.

[Cowtipper]

This game is a snooze fest.

[Edgy MD]

The snooze fest has been tied up in the eighth, by an RBI hit by a guy who didn't start due to a head injury, but came in as a replacement for the guy who hurt himself smashing into the wall.



Now Neuro-Wound Nimmo has snoozily stolen second to put the go-ahead run in scoring position.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

[bIGPURPLE]ZiMMo![/bIGPURPLE]

[Cowtipper]

Welp, I look away for a moment and it is tied.

[Cowtipper]

Pete just hit a home run ....



if he was in a BARN SILO!



(lol)



He's only on pace for like 33 home runs and 91 RBI. He's having a down year.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure Butto would be my first call out of the pen.

[Cowtipper]

I think Butto is a fine choice.



Future 15 game winner.

[Frayed Knot]

Fourth Nats' infield hit of the game. All c/should have been outs.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Remember how the broadcasters would say how many runs, hits, and errors in the half inning just ended?



When did that stop? It's been a long time.

[Cowtipper]

Petulant child. Pick up your bat, Alvarez. Don't make the bat boy get it.

[Edgy MD]

Wood gets respect from Butto that he may not get from a vet pitcher.

[kcmets]

That was odd and out of character. Maybe he didn't know how many

outs there were and was for a second thinking I have to go strap up.



It was a very nice pitch he looked at.

Álvarez has no such respect for Woody.
