Did I ever tell you about the time I was at a party and went over to the shrimp salad to get myself a serving and it turned out that there was no more shrimp in the shrimp salad? Just lettuce.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Then I walked around a little bit and noticed some other guest with a plate full of like 35 pieces of shrimp. Just shrimp. No lettuce. Or tomatoes. Or onions. Or anything. Just the shrimp from the shrimp salad.

[batmagadanleadoff]

He even had a coupl'a extra pieces of shrimp stuffed into his pants pockets. They were hanging out of his pockets.

Friday black uniforms

[ashie62]

Manaea looked effortless striking out the side in the first

[ashie62]

Soto 24

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Nobody loves David Wright more than me but I'm already sick of this.

Lotta hosannahs



Keep it together Sean

[ashie62]

Francisco Alvarez would look like Yogi Berra in LF after a position switch

[Centerfield]

Why would you give Carrillo another inning. WTF.

[ashie62]

Not an inspiring start here



The Mets are going to need more pitching at some point soon

[ashie62]

Boo

[Edgy MD]

Carrillo does not appear to have spent his break productively.

[ashie62]

Likely DFA I'm guessing

[Centerfield]

How do you leave him in to give up 5 runs. Inexcusable

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Somebody tell Carrillo he's not pitching in a swing off.

[kcmets]

I'm at a hotel with Direct TV.



For those unfamiliar with dish tv, it still sucks....

[Edgy MD]

I am more confused with Manaea's absence than Carrillo's presence.

[Centerfield]

With all starters available. Why go to the four inning guy to kick things off? Why not wait until you have Butto back?



Why give Carrillo a second inning?

[Edgy MD]

Also, I'm impressed by these Reds.



I get bored by the "need bullpen help" talk though. Everybody wants more bullpen help. But the shortest trip to a deeper bullpen is not pulling your starting pitcher after 69 pitches.



I mean, can you really say a team is short on arms when they lose because they don't have a good enough fifth-inning guy?

[Frayed Knot]

And the larger issue may be that we have two singles and one walk since the 1st inning solo (what a surprise!) HR

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo turning a walk into a run out of the fifth spot is my favorite part of the game.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Reds are only like 2.5 games out of the Wild Card. Their problem has been not often being capable of 7 runs a game.

[ashie62]

I think I saw Manaea on kiss Cam with Mrs Met

[Edgy MD]

Elly de la was down 0-and-2 and now has walked to load them. Not effective there.



Friedl may get another trip to the plate.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets are (once again) on the wrong side of the free pass ledger tonight: 7 BBs + 3 HBPs vs one walk

So only a 10/1 ratio

[ashie62]

The way pitching staffs are formulated now is more egregious to me me than any ghost runners and other ancillary demons in the game

[Edgy MD]

Shut put with the position players pitching ideas. Let Devenski do his thing, whatever that is.
