[ashie62]

The good news is after a heartbreaking loss the Mets are still even with their tormenter



I don't think Lindor will be out long but still...



Gotta sweep a team like the Nats

My memory might be bad (it is bad) but I think I recall Irvin giving us a hard time earlier this year

[kcmets]

Jake Irvin one hit the Mets on July 4th in 8 innings of work.

[Cowtipper]

Irvin since August 2: 2-4 W-L, 6.39 ERA. Since July 9: 3-6, 6.41 ERA.



I'm hopeful.

[kcmets]

I'm always hopeful.

Is Lindor day to day?

[Edgy MD]

Also, go Mets! Llet's win one for Tito Jackson!! And Tito Navarro!!

[ashie62]

It would be great to see the Mets win without their A lineup

[MFS62]

HUH?

Looks like something either got deleted or moved to the red light forum. (I haven't looked there yet).



OE: Yep. It was moved.

Back to baseball.

Not sure that Iglesias has the arm for SS at this point in his career, but hopefully that won't be a problem in the short term.

Not sure Acuna has the bat to play regularly at this point in his career.

Pick your poison time.

They picked the better bat.

I have no interest in this game. He should have been suspended for a week

Mendoza loves the late-innings defensive replacements…wouldn't be a shock to see Acuna at short and Iglesias moved elsewhere in the late innings.

I hope the Mets win.

[metirish]

I don't think I've ever noticed how side arm Sean throws

[Fman99]

Nifty turn there by Iglesias & Alvarez.



The up the middle 2B/SS defense has been really great this year

[Edgy MD]

God knows how long Manaea can be this heroic.



God knows how long the starting pitching can come through this consistently.

[MFS62]

The way they're hitting, that 0-1 deficit seems insurmountable.

Time for some Mets Magic.

(divine intervention would help, too.)

[Cowtipper]

Braves losing 1-0.

[Cowtipper]

Bases loaded. Vientos up. 2-2 the count.



Come on, Mark!

The Mets magic is fading away......................................................................................................

[Frayed Knot]

Just a lot of wet newspaper contact, tonight especially but in general lately.

The best contact of the night were Nimmo's two foul balls.

[Frayed Knot]

Two more weak grounders plus anotehr K.
