[Edgy MD]

Wow! That throw beat Marte by ten feet!

I wasn't nearly as sure as Gary that that call was going to be overturned. In fact I wasn't sure at all.

The 'back-track' towards 1st base looked totally incidental to me and didn't even resemble intent.

Note to catcher: bending your knees helps you reach a sliding player.

Me neither, but Gary's certainty was swaying me.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to think. Don't think I've ever seen that case, particularly in the replay era.

[Frayed Knot]

Brazoban: two outs in his first four pitches, three in his first nine.

Quite a contrast to Severino's stint.

[Edgy MD]

Perdomo walks, and the Mets have run out of Brazobandwidth.

[Edgy MD]

Strow thrikes, Danny.



Here comes Reed Garrett.



I feel the need for some Dedniel.

[Frayed Knot]

Career splits for Joc Pederson: 845 OPS vs RHP; 630 vs LHP



Still just 32 y/o, he seems too young to be a full-time DH and platoon player but there ya go.

[Edgy MD]

Mets. Making the plays and getting the calls.



And Garrett has 98.

[Frayed Knot]

Always good to get two outs with your last two pitches.

[Edgy MD]

Marte gets the start in the three-hole because the Diamondbacks are starting a lefty, and he gets around for a hard double after they bring in a sidearming righty.

[Edgy MD]

Waiter, I ordered a Nuñez, and you've brought me a Maton.

[Edgy MD]

Instead they bring me the Four-Out Diaz Special.



I hope this goes down OK.

[Edgy MD]

STROWTHRIKES!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is bullshit

[Edgy MD]

Burbles loaded.



Urckf.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good night



Wish they'd stop pretending Diaz is still Diaz

The true bullshit was yet to come.

[Frayed Knot]

Two outs, but we can't get another out.

[Frayed Knot]

Diaz '24 = Not Good

[Edgy MD]

Drillbit.

[metirish]

Just saw the grand slam , damn

[ashie62]

Ughhh



Early start today

[kcmets]

Just caught up.



The Alvabader moment was fun while it lasted. Maybe someone

should plant some pine tar in Diaz's glove so he can get suspended.



Rubbah matinee today... four out in the hunt...

Why is Matt Harvey's problem with cephalopods, anyhow?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't know. He just wants to talk about Qualcomm.

[MFS62]

I thought Paul Goldschmidt was the only Diamondback authorized to torment the Mets like that.



Later

[Cowtipper]

Just finished watching this. Severino stunk (lotta Ks, though), but the offense almost saved him. Unfortunately, the ever-inconsistent Edwin Diaz lost it for them (again). I know why he's called "Sugar," because he keeps making the opponents' victories extra sweet.
