IGT 7/7 Mets v Pirates 1:35 Man up Manaea

[ashie62]

Luis Torrens is carrying the Mets



Good teams seem to have a guy that comes out of nowhere and breaks out in a big way



Another win today would be a great way to put the three game losing streak firmly in the rear view window

Luís Torrens not expected to carry the Mets today.

[Edgy MD]

They're going to keep throwing McNeil the inside slider as long as it works.



And damn, it continues to work.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of pitcher-friendly calls today, sort of like that silly Nats game on July 4.

[Edgy MD]

Sean Manaea should call his love OMGlove.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil earning his keep as best he can as an outfielder.

[Edgy MD]

Five scoreless for Manaea. But at 79 pitches, he's likely on the clock.

[Edgy MD]

Two hands, Joey Bart.

[Edgy MD]

Pitch #80 gets the first out, thanks to Nimmo.



Thanks to the Pirates helping with Manaea's pitch economy after shaking him down badly the first few innings.

[Edgy MD]

Six scoreless on 89 pitches.



Stay with him. And score for him.

[Edgy MD]

But no. Garrett is on.



Still hasn't gotten on top of that splitter.

[Edgy MD]

But a 4-6-3 ends it.



Tellez might have been the only lefthanded hitter that they could have doubled-up that one, but double him up they did.



Now for one of those runs. Bader has replaced DJ Stewart in the lineup.

[Edgy MD]

RBI DUBBLE!!!

Diaz now Keith

[ashie62]

And they do



Hold on to your hats

[ashie62]

Umpire squeezing Edwin

[ashie62]

Fuhk

[ashie62]

Way to go Edwin



Busted



Meatball slider

[Edgy MD]

Well, that's a series of decisions that didn't pan out.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Diaz is killing this team

[ashie62]

Great at bat by Alvarez

[Edgy MD]

Mets playing for the tie on the road by pinch-running for Álvarez.

[Edgy MD]

Ninth-inning rally brings up a classick bunting situation for Vientos, but no way they do that with Mark up and McNeil on deck.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh Vientos

[ashie62]

Torrens!!

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Torrens gets a chance to carry the team this afternoon after all.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nope

[ashie62]

My boy failed

[Edgy MD]

Hard to get any more dramatic than now.
