Mets at Birds? Which birds? Blue Jays? Orioles? Cardinals?



I give up.

[kcmets]

8:15 ET, not 8:00... geez...

[Frayed Knot]

Mets are pitching Holmes but will be wearing their road grays.

Cards will send Gray to pitch but will do so at home.

[kcmets]

Generally speaking, Cardinal unis and imagery are among my non-

Mets favorites, but these 'The Lou' jerseys tonight are kinda dumb.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo starting rallies with walks is good Nimmo.



Be that guy.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, so far this is a typical NYM game in 2025



- Lindor gets on to start the 1st ... but isn't driven in

That's the 16th time (in 32 games) he's been on base to lead off the 1st, but he's only scored 5 runs and 3 of them came from driving himself in with a HR



- they load the bases with no outs ... and no subsequent batter gets the ball out of the infield [GO, GO, BB, BB, K]

We were fortunate that neither of the subsequent grounders were turned into DPs. Both could have been but weren't.

[Edgy MD]

Pete getting an early start on Player of the Month for May.

[Edgy MD]

That caught-stealing didn't help his case, though.



Steve is lucky he got back in the country after that John Oliver interview.

[Centerfield]

Vientos swings at some of the dumbest pitches.



Was last year a fluke?

[Edgy MD]

Generally speaking, Cardinal unis and imagery are among my non- Mets favorites, but these 'The Lou' jerseys tonight are kinda dumb.

Indeed.



Besides, it should be "Le Lou."

[Edgy MD]

Sorefoot Holmes isn't the best version of Holmes.

[Edgy MD]

But Sherlock seems to be finding himself.

[Edgy MD]

That breaking ball ain't working so well for you this inning, Sonny.

[kcmets]

Petey BOOM!!!

[Edgy MD]

NO PLAY FOR SONNY GRAY!!

[Frayed Knot]

Keith misses a terrific opportunity to dust off his 'No play for Mr. Gray' line as Sonny is pulled from the game.







oe: cross posted with above

[Edgy MD]

How did Gary blow that call?!

[Frayed Knot]

'Get your nose out of your scorebook', Gary

[Edgy MD]

Everybody gets a hit this inning.



Between Gary talking over Gelbs and sleeping through the run-scoring E3, along with Keith sneaking out of the booth to hang with Ken Reitz, baseball's best booth is suddenly feeling like watching the Rizzuto-era Yankees.

[Frayed Knot]

Seems like there's been a lot of hitting tonight (both sides) but only 4 of the 9 runs have been driven in by hits.

Cards scored on a GO, an E, and a 1B

Mets scored twice on GOs, once on an E, then on Pete's 2R HR and Alvarez's 1B



The game has had a little of everything except for smooth play.

[roger_that]

Awful lot of fouls for Winn here.

[Fman99]

This lineup is giving me an early summer boner

[Edgy MD]

That Taylor-for-McNeil defensive sub paid off nicely.

[Frayed Knot]

That one carried a lot further than I thought it would.

[kcmets]

Nimm BOOM Bah!!!

[metirish]

Good stuff

[Edgy MD]

Best booth in baseball also missed a pinch-hitter announcement.



Off night, fellas.

[Edgy MD]

The early defensive substitution of Taylor for McNeil makes sense at most levels, but it also cost the team their last infielder with four innings (at the time) to play.

Rookie director tonight, let's blame him.
