David Stearns is excellent at signing relief pitchers that suck.

Late yanking Pop

[MFS62]

POP goes the bubble.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Good time to see Vientos awaken.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

We're gonna need some of those extra runs from yesterday.

Not likely to make a difference. But if you have a guy that gives up a run and rockets all over the field, why do you push him for a second inning?

[Centerfield]

No. Walk Judge here

[Edgy MD]

So, pitching to Judge, when you have a choice not to, is not the way to go.

[Centerfield]

Fucking predictable.



Some bad judgement by Mendoza here.

[Cowtipper]

Stearns signs all these junk pitchers thinking they'll all be diamonds in the rough but it doesn't work that way. They're always good for 5-10 games then they fall apart. That's why they're junk pitchers and not established major leaguers.

Wish Pete used something other than Eric Clapton for his walkup music

Lindor doing what Mets pitchers can't:



Being good.

Turns out not to matter but, still, not thinking it through w/one out.

I agree. He should only sign bonafide aces off the waiver wires whenever the team needs emergency help.

[Cowtipper]

The Mets spent $92 billion per year for that Soto strikeout.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ooof, Soto

[Edgy MD]

Surprising that has only been five innings.

[Centerfield]

Getting a shutdown inning here would be huge.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good work from The Waddler

[Centerfield]

Nice job!



Now let's chip away.

[Cowtipper]

Now that the Mets have been freed from Max, let's see what they can do.

[Edgy MD]

Pinch-hit Baty for Vientos against Loisaga?

[Edgy MD]

Or, you know, Mauricio is good too.

[Edgy MD]

Or, you know, Baty is good too.

[Cowtipper]

OMG!

[Frayed Knot]

Mauricio vs Loaisiga

Two guys with eight letter names, five of which are vowels.

1st time ever in MLB history?

Probably not, and definitely too trivial to even care about.

I have no idea why I even noticed this, but I thought I'd share/inflict it with/on youse guys.
