[Fman99]

In game interviews are terrible but Julio seems pretty likable truth be told. I mean, his advice is "Love baseball." I gotcha bro

I thought this park might neutralize a good pitcher like Kirby

[Frayed Knot]

This is an interview show with occasional interruptions of baseball.

I mean, that's S.O.P. from ESPN, but tonight's version has been kicked into over-drive.





On the plus side, this could be the last time the Mets ever appear on the four-letter network.

Certainly one of the last times anyway.

[Centerfield]

How do you miss that. jFC.



Another 4th inning mistake.

[Frayed Knot]

Holmes should have been out of this with a shutout and a decent pitch count.

Now he doesn't have either and the inning is on the verge of blowing up.

[Centerfield]

Holmes may not survive this inning.

[ashie62]

4th inning meltdown again

[ashie62]

Brandon Sproat should get this next turn

[Centerfield]

He gets out of it.



Lindor has been a mess defensively this year.

[Centerfield]

Nice to see one fall for Vientos!



Also. There's an interview every inning. Why bother showing the game.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey ESPN, how many plays do you make fans of Monday Night Football miss or see via shrunken screens?

Oh none, you say? And why is that?

[Frayed Knot]

Ravech: Mr. Comissioner, what's the future of the sport's TV contract?

Manfred: Well we can't get away from your fucking network fast enough.





OK so he didn't actually say that, but he should have.

Nimmo has a truckload of dreams on the bases.

[Frayed Knot]

Holmes lives to pitch another inning.

It's almost certainly his last, but it'd be nice if he manages to finish it strong.

[Edgy MD]

Carlos Mendoza got a sweet new haircut for the trip.

[Frayed Knot]

Before this inning is over Manaea is going to lead the league in 'Ummms'

[Edgy MD]

VIENTIMOS!!!

[Frayed Knot]

11 hits (2 2Bs, 1 HR) plus 3 BBs thru (not quite) 5 innings.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice shot Lindy ... you shoulda been on 3rd.

[Centerfield]

Lindor missed a ball. Cost the Mets a run.



Then hit a ball that should have been caught. And the Mets get gifted that run right back!

[Gwreck]

Benjamin Grimm wrote: On Saturday's broadcast, Gary said that the Mets would be taking a bus from Queens to Williamsport.

He was referring to the bus call at Citi Field to take the team to LaGuardia.

[Edgy MD]

My nightly pedantic complaint that, no, the pitcher did not have to be pulled, and no, this should not be counted as the pitcher failing to complete the sixth.



The Mets, I assume, do not have Edwin Diaz available tonight.

[Centerfield]

Agreed. You can't talk about getting length from your starting pitcher and then not give him the opportunity.



If not at 7-1 then when?

[Centerfield]

Literally an interview every inning.

[Centerfield]

When you go to the bullpen too early.

[Edgy MD]

I just heard a kid yelling, "Hey, Brett Baty! If you get on base, can I get your bat?"

[Edgy MD]

Don't re-injure that thumb, Francisco!!

[Frayed Knot]

I hope Jardiance is a sponsor ...

There was just a Jardiance commercial, which I wasn't listening to [#mute button] but one of the disclaimers in the crawl

across the bottom of the screen talked about "increased chance of lower limb loss".





All other things being equal, I'm opting for a decreased chance of lower limb loss ... but that's just me.

[Frayed Knot]

Not sure if ESPN mentioned it, but:

- Torrens in for Alvarez

- Baty moves from 2B to 3B (Vientos out)

- Luisangel to 2B
