What channel?

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm not watching. After last-night's hara-kiri, I need a break. Maybe a couple of hours of airline crashes or a Kevin Sorbo film festival. Anything else but these misbegotten imposters in baseball uniforms.

It has been raining Olsons and Rileys down the interstate here in Baltimore.

[Frayed Knot]

There should be a game where you guess the starter meltdown inning. There's been one almost every game over the last two weeks or more.

Last night Peterson faced one over the minimum thru 2. Then had a bit of trouble in the 3rd but it was really just two seeing eye hits (one in the IF) and a walk pitching carefully to Ozuna w/two on before getting the much weaker hitting Albies to ground out. So 0 runs, 3 singles, 1 walk thru 3 innings on 13, 14, and 24 pitches. Not great, but hardly terrible.

He then faced seven batters in the 4th retiring One of them: BB, 1B, K, BB, BB/Run, 3-RBI-2B, BB ... and he was gone.

That his immediate replacement was just as bad only added to it. All of which leaves Paul Blackburn's 5 IP/1 H/1 BB/3-K performance as the pitching hi-light of the night.

[Centerfield]

Isn't it always the 4th inning?

[MFS62]

Second time through the order?

(ducking)

Well, they get the lead. It should have been two, but for the double-play that preceded the homer.



Manny Trillo, by the way, lives the quiet life in the Orlando area, Keith.



That is, unless the president has deported him.

[ashie62]

One run given up in the fourth, progress



1-1

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, maybe that one-run fourth was the meltdown inning.



And maybe it is smooth sailing from here.



Maybe.

I thought the Mets would get to Elder but not yet

[Edgy MD]

I like Keef calling the ghost forkball "Casper."

[Edgy MD]

Not liking Mullins not going harder after that ball as Baldwin went first-to-third without a throw.

[ashie62]

I do not agree with this move

[Centerfield]

Why wouldn't they make him bat right-handed?

[Edgy MD]

I am Bryce Elder, and I am not this good.

[ashie62]

Lindor looks like a new player

[Edgy MD]

Big 99th RBI for Alonso.

Helsley hasn't earned that entrance as a Met

[ashie62]

Helsley booo

[Edgy MD]

Some sloppy Mullins play tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Anytime you want to retire a batter, Helsley, we'd really 'preciate it.

[ashie62]

Bad Mets baseball

[Edgy MD]

That "Hell's Bells" entrance really felt like they were overselling the dude.



Just enter to "We've Got Tonight" or something, guys. Promise low, deliver big.

[MFS62]

This is the second straight night they've faced a starter who came into the game with an ERA over 6.00, and as of now, they could lose both of them.
