[ashie62]

Josh Bell is too fat to make the play

This game feels like a loss. All the breaks going against us.

[Edgy MD]

Dom Smith would have picked that.



Nathaniel Lowe would have picked that.



Nick Johnson would have picked that.

[Edgy MD]

Put it into play, Cedric.

[Edgy MD]

Mets sure getting breaks now.

[Centerfield]

Missed all the runs. Sat back down to watch Mullins fly out and Torrens ground out.



I suck.

[ashie62]

Mullins and Torrens gassed what had been a very good inning

[Centerfield]

I've seen enough of Mullins. Let's call up Jett.

[Frayed Knot]

And another 5 inning start by a NYM pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

Tylor Rogers coming in and inducing a double-play is back on brand.

[Centerfield]

Let's beat up fat lefty Masato Yoshii.

[Edgy MD]

Let's go wild in the streets.

[Edgy MD]

It takes two Sotos to retire Josh Bell in a pinch.



Let's go to town.

[Centerfield]

I shouldn't have come back.



The Mets have never won a game this year that they trailed after 8.

[Frayed Knot]

Score four to close to within one, load the bases with one out ... and the next eight batters go down in order.

[Edgy MD]

Since they failed to tied the game with Mullins and Torrens, they haven't gotten anybody on, against what generally has been a very generous pen.



Ronny Mauricio is possibly letting everybody know he could have pinch-hit there.

[Frayed Knot]

Or he may PH this coming inning: Baty, Mullins, Torrens due up in the 9th.

[Edgy MD]

Cannot let Torrens bat here.



Go with Mauricio and hopefully stay out of the double-play.

[Gwreck]

Tough call on hitting Mauricio against a lefty. I guess Taylor could hit for Torrens but not sure that's any movement.

[Frayed Knot]

So far 20 (to get two outs), 10, and 9 pitches from the Nats pen to get eight outs.

I feel like Mendoza should have heard me there.

[Frayed Knot]

They're challenging but that's just a formality.

[ashie62]

Why is Torrens hitting!!!



Mendoza is exasperating

[Edgy MD]

Taylor might at least have helped keep you out of a dp.

[Gwreck]

Not a lot of great decisions by Mendoza lately.

[ashie62]

He's more part of the problem than the solution

[Centerfield]

Torrens should have taken a strike.

[Edgy MD]

Would you all have gone to Taylor?



I probably would have, but he has barely seen any live pitching over the last three weeks. And, obviously, that is a result of him having a very bad season at the plate.



So, in fairness, there were no great options at the end.
