The only thing sacrificed was that baseball.

Love the shutdown inning by Tong immediately following the run scoring. That's how you should do it kid

[Edgy MD]

Eighty-two pitches through five.



PRETTY PLEASE send him out for the sixth!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I certainly hope they do.



Unless the Mets put up a big inning here, then maybe I'd reconsider. Maybe.



Leadoff double for Soto.

[ashie62]

Of course Mendoza will pull him here



It's what Mendoza does



It's how he rolls.....

[ashie62]

How can you pitch with your meathead manager glowering at you waiting to pull you after any batter gets on?

[Edgy MD]

Well, he's done, after a long changeover.



Boo on that.

[ashie62]

Managers Anonymous. First step was realizing I was powerless over my pitching decisions

[Edgy MD]

Rogers has been giving up way too much elevation for a submariner, particularly against righties.



But that last out on a rollover was what you want to see, and the two liners at least have the benefit of making it a really fast inning. Maybe he gets a second.

[Centerfield]

I can see Matsui growing old to become Miyagi.

[Centerfield]

Every popup to Machado stays in play.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Nice bounce back game for Tong! Hopefully, that's a big confidence booster!

[Edgy MD]

We've got the booth talking about Blue Hens. We need Lunchbucket here.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It's certainly boosted my confidence in him.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Remember all that talk about how Soto has a potbelly and lost his bat speed?

[Benjamin Grimm]

First and third nobody out for Pete. Again, I'd be quite happy with a sac fly.

[Fman99]

Yeah, Pete. Keep your foot on the pedal, boys

[Benjamin Grimm]

And there it is. I was trying to trick Pete into hitting a three-run homer, but he didn't go for it.

Well, you got your wish.

[Edgy MD]

My wish was to see Wander Swear-o, but we get Sugar with a five-run lead.

[Fman99]

Ha ha, eat shit Manny

[kcmets]

The TONGSTER and runs!!!



I'm so happy I could pee...

[Benjamin Grimm]

This feels like a big win, doesn't it?

[Centerfield]

It does. This is the first time we can feel really good about this team.



Nothing better than watching the teams chasing you after you win a Gay Dame.

[Lefty Specialist]

Good to see Tong bounce back. A second bad outing in a row would have been problematic.



Now put the hammer down on those pesky Nats.

[MFS62]

Good outing.

The kid's a keeper.



Later

[Frayed Knot]

So I was out all day so began watching via delay starting about 4:30. No problem, I do this often and have no problem maintaining radio silence.

Make that usually don't. At one point I went to check something on BB-Ref, which should be harmless as they never update anything until the next day.

But there in the bottom right corner is a video, something I never really look at. But today, just as I'm moving the cursor over the close it, I see the tiny headline

over the box: 'Carlos Mendoza talks about his team's 6-1 lead'. It was a clip for Mendy's postgame chat.

Nimmo's HR came about a minute later and there was little mystery involved after that.
