[Centerfield]

You have Mullins and a super bullpen.



You go with Taylor and Stanek. Make it make sense.

[Centerfield]

Jesus. Fucking pull him.

[Centerfield]

PULL HIM. YOU HAVE TWO LEFTIES.

[Frayed Knot]

Pete's now three behind Straw and we're two behind the Giants

[Centerfield]

Can we use a good relief pitcher please?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Mendy pulling the strings

[Centerfield]

Omg. Vientos has been the hottest hitter. Wtf.

[Centerfield]

I would have used him to hit for Torrens.

[Centerfield]

Fucking Mendy. Stanek Taylor Baty moves all falling flat.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I don't think Mendy screwed up. Baty just didn't get the job done.



Helsley-- Hells Bells, get it

[Gwreck]

Agree. Baty was likely to be coming in for defense too. Giving him the AB against the righty makes sense.

[Centerfield]

Baty is 0 for his last 15.



Vientos has a 10 game hitting streak.



It's on Mendy to put our best option up.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vientos sucks.

[The Hot Corner]

Well, Helsley looked good. Mullins, not so much.

[Centerfield]

Ok. Top of the lineup. Let's get it done.

[The Hot Corner]

Mets coming up in the home 10th down a run. Mullins is in the clown car at second, with Nimmo, Lindor, Soto, and hopefully Alonso due up. Time to walk this one off.

[Frayed Knot]

'Held 'em to one' is a semi-positive outcome in the Manfred Man era.

The only problem is that the top of the order is up who are a collective 3 for their last 156 (or something like that).

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Here we go. man on 2nd and no outs!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zimmo that was awful

[The Hot Corner]

Bad break that that pitch hit Lindor in the calf. It was likely going to the backstop otherwise.

[Frayed Knot]

I would have rather that been a WP, not a HBP and moved the runner to 3rd.

Plus I don't like the potential GiDP situation.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Oh no

[Frayed Knot]

We don't do 'out of the infield' with runners on.

It's just not our thing.

[The Hot Corner]

Bases loaded with 2 outs. It falls to Mauricio.

[Gwreck]

We need better hitters

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Dammit. Stupid black unis

[The Hot Corner]

Fourth straight loss as Mauricio strikes out to end the game. Senga needs to have his "A" game tomorrow. It would be nice if the offense could score some runs to grab an early lead.

[Centerfield]

Giants hitters got it done. Mets hitters didn't.



4 losses in a row since going up 5-1 in SD.



Soto needs to wake the fuck up.

[kcmets]

Mets 0-1 in ghost-runner games in August.



I haven't read the IGT, but god that strike call on Polar Pete.

Didn't matter but what planet are the umps on some times?

[Gwreck]

Also (and this isn't the only reason the Mets lost the game) but Rob Manfred is the worst thing to happen to baseball in decades.



The stupid free runner privileges weaker teams with weaker bullpens and is an abomination. He should be ashamed.
