Gelbs is going to ruin this game for me

Nicely turned 6-4-3 there

Gelbs isn't terrible, he's just not Gary Cohen.

I like the Creamsicle tone of the Angel CC jerseys, but the places where this fabric pulls the sweat to the surface end up looking pee-yellow.



I especially like the cream soda tone of the catcher's chest protector and shinguards.



But I particularly especially like that Álvarez has left that Marlins sea-green chest protector behind him.

[Edgy MD]

See, a "hit-by-pitch" that swipes off of your billowing shirt and is so inconsequential that it goes unimpeded into the catchers mitt ... should not count as a hit-by-pitch at all.

[Gwreck]

That runner shouldn't have scored on that play.

[Edgy MD]

Welcome back, Alonso's bat.

[Edgy MD]

It's nice to see a ballpark with foul territory in the outfield.

[Edgy MD]

Blackie seems to be effective at pitching into and out of trouble.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon Drury entering at third gives the Angels two former-Mets in the infield, as fellow formazin' indfielder Luis Guillorme lays out to end the inning with brilliance.



If they put Hunter Strickland on the mound, it could be three. Kevin Pillar is also in the dugout.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Iglesias has turned 2 sweet dps tonight

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, if you're not watching this game, the Mets have turned two really impressive double-plays.

[Edgy MD]

Bunt hits are beautiful.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Victory

Iglesias and Lindor are something special.

I got maybe 3 innings in before I zonked out. Stupid spherical planet.

This was a well-played game. Makes you think maybe the Mets ARE a playoff-quality team.

It should be ball one if you don't at least immediately grimace in pain or rub the spot.
