Mostly I remember Waddy Wachtel, but I don't think he ever played ML ball.

Good 5th inning there for Waddell after slogging through the 4th.



Maybe, I dunno, get some runs here and then call this fucker

[Frayed Knot]

3 - 2 - 2 [R - H - E] is a line score you don't see a lot.

[ashie62]

I saw Waddy with Keith Richards Expensive Winos



Rube Waddell helped save the city of Hickman Kentucky from flooding in 1912.



He contracted Tuberculosis from his efforts and passed away at age 37

I could really get into wearing a Fedora and being a sign man

[Centerfield]

How bad is the rain? I'd take my chances with four innings against that bullpen, but how likely are we to get those four innings?

[ashie62]

Flushing weather is 50% rain now and 70% at 4pm

[ashie62]

I'm guessing they squeeze this in

[Frayed Knot]

And remember, all replays will be decided quickly





Five innings in just under the two hour mark. Not exactly the stereotype get-away/rain-threatened quickie.

Y'know, the one where the HP ump would announce, Better be ready to swing the bats today, boys prior to the start of the game.

My adoptee Mike Vasil makes it to CitiField, just not in the uni I hoped he would be wearing.

Actually I take a nap every day from 1-2 PM. On days that I go into the office I do so in my vehicle. I'm old now and if I don't nap I'll be fussy

[ashie62]

What a mess

[Radar]

Who is our hitting(lol)coach? Better question do we even have one. If so find another one.

Duquette getting on Soto in the postgame

[MFS62]

That F-18 rolled off the deck.

The same one(s) as last year when the Mets were 7th of 30 teams in RS/G

Personally I usually view the idea of blaming coaches for player shortcomings, particularly short term ones, to be weak sauce. But your mileage may vary.



Prior to today's game only Torrens (+67), Alonso (+73) and Baty (+67) had an OPS above their career mark

The rest (discounting those with <100 ABs to date): Lindor is at -11 (so great April + lousy May = essentially a wash); Nimmo -126, Soto -186, T. Taylor -62; Marte -116 (being 36 y/o likely a factor there); and Vientos -156 (compared to '24 only since not much of a track record prior to that)

[Gwreck]

Was curious because I agreed this is how it seems.

By my unofficial count, the Mets lose 98.4% of all day games before an off-day. Leaving you days to dwell on that shitty loss.
