[Frayed Knot]

We've been making far too many meh-ish pitchers, replacement pitchers, and middle relievers look very good for about a week now.

I've seen this movie before. And I don't like how it ends.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets have been Chasened.

Missed Monday's game. Which means I've watched four straight games of frustration.

I am in Denver but opted to watch this one from my hotel. I am just too tired from work to endure two 45+ minute Uber rides and a ballpark crowd. Plus the forecast looked a bit touch and go.



Having said that, my hotel inexplicably does not carry the channel on which this game is being aired locally. I have to watch on my tablet despite this suite having two big televisions. So that's stupid. They are carrying FS1 which has the SD/PIT Game. In Denver. What the actual hell is that all about

[Edgy MD]

Gamel gets down the line.

[Edgy MD]

New strategy — stop hitting anything within reach of an infielder.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff single: ground out - ground out - K





OK these were harder than most ... but sooner or later you need to get the ball out of the infield more than two or three times a game.

[Frayed Knot]

The Rox have advanced more leadoff base runners with no ABs completed than we did in our last six ABs

[Centerfield]

Interesting strategy to give the Rockies the extra inning runner to start each inning.

[Edgy MD]

It's not like the Mets aren't getting the leadoff runner on and stranding him also.



But let's get Butto some support here.

[Frayed Knot]

Give us your tired, your weak, your relievers with 6+ ERAs, we will give them solace and redemption.

[Edgy MD]

Mets have had 10 groundouts to three flyouts.

[Frayed Knot]

Rox catcher is giving targets two feet out of the strike zone ... and I don't blame him.

[Frayed Knot]

Just pathetic w/the bats

And 8 hits, all singles, only three since the second inning. One walk.

James Jean having as rough a night as the Mets bats. We'll take it I guess.

[Edgy MD]

Iglesias, Álvarez, Gamel, Taylor due up in the ninth.



Bader, Martinez, Vientos, and Torrens all available off the benchsicle.

[Frayed Knot]

The last NYM batter to get the ball out of the infield prior to Alvarez ... was Alvarez.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get Diaz up.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We really need to steal this one.

[Edgy MD]

So many options right now. Taylor batting for himself. J.D. is tempting but they don't want a double-play.

[Edgy MD]

I was hoping for one there.



I didn't dare dream we'd get two.

[Frayed Knot]

FINALLY!!!!

I was hoping for a passed ball.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Twinkler!

[Centerfield]

About time.

[Edgy MD]

Wasn't there a long period there when the Mets were hesitatant to let Luis Torrens catch Diaz?

[Edgy MD]

Apparently, nobody plays the ball off the wall in right field here.
