Or put another way, the David Stearns challenge game.



Last winter, Mets fans were like "Hey, let's take a flyer on Walker Buehler". And Stearns was like "No bitches. You'll get Clay Holmes and Frankie Montas and Griffin Canning and you'll fucking love it."



Montas has been hurt. But Holmes and Canning have been excellent.



Tonight's matchup:



Buehler. 6 Starts. 4-1. 4.28 ERA. 1.22 WHIP. Missed time with shoulder bursitis.



Holmes. 9 Starts. 5-2. 3.14 ERA. 1.25 WHIP.

Last night Pete and Soto got caught styling on balls that didn't get out and hit the Green Monster



Its anecdotal but players just don't run out balls as much anymore as ago. I appreciate its a long season and such but how hard is it to make the commitment to be professional and leg things out on a consistent basis



I see it a time or two in most games I watch not just the Mets



On a pace to win 97+ games now. That's it??



Just kidding, they'll be fine. Maybe the rebound starts tonight



TBS game and SNY

Well, they got a ball out of the infield.

Just one and it took until the 8th hitter and it wasn't a hit ... but I'm going to call it progress.

As the throw was coming in I'm thinking, 'WTF Brandon, you're air-mailing the cut-off man with no shot at getting the run ... Great Throw, dude!'

Buehler upset because he felt Lindor did not try to get out of the way of the breaking ball that hit him on the foot. Batters often make minimal to no attempt to evade pitches (particularly breaking ball, with all the body armor they wear. Then he totally loses his cool and gets himself ejected when the ump called a borderline (at the knees) pitch call on Lindor's successful steal of second.



Mets need to take advantage of this opportunity.

This Jarren Duran guy has a good bat and real good speed. But he's also got three OF errors already this year and had a league leading five last year.

It would be a crying shame if none of the Red Sox broadcasters made a 'Hands of Stone' reference at some point.
