Welcome back Tyrone Taylor

I question Baty against a tough lefty

[ashie62]

And they're off

"Atlanta is living in their own private Idaho."

— Ron Darling

[Edgy MD]

C&L Perez in the first inning — no runs on no hits and no walks, two strikeouts.

Nine pitches, and nine strikes.

So he gets pulled before the second.

[Edgy MD]

Vientos at third like old times.

[Edgy MD]

Holy smokes!  Jack Fisher!

[Cowtipper]

Toby M. needs to disappear, too. Could probably be traded for a 12-pack of Charmin toilet paper. 

[Edgy MD]

Myers certainly putting that pulling of Perez under the lamp.

[Cowtipper]

Toby Myers has a 7.26 ERA since April 10 and a 11.12 ERA since May 6 (13 games), yet they still keep trotting him out there. 

[Cowtipper]

The Mets are "stretching out Myers" to become a starter. Disregard the fact he's been a total letdown. They're going to make him a starter. Disregard the fact the Mets have Tong, Wenninger and Thornton in the minors. They're gonna try to make Myers a starter. Well, Mendoza's gone but the stupid is still there.

I'm with you on this.  I'd rather give the kids a chance.

Soto refuses to challenge two strikes that weren't, then walks anyway.  I wonder if he's daring the pitcher to challenge him.

[Edgy MD]

Wagaman getting chasey with Mets on basey.

Exactly. Give the kids a chance. It seems like for the past few years we keep hearing how many worthwhile prospects they have, yet they keep throwing retreads out there instead of letting the fruits of their farm system actually prosper. You can't know if the prospects are actually good if you never give them a real shot. 

[Cowtipper]

On the bright side, Luzardo is on my fantasy team and he's racking up some decent points for me today. 

[smg58]

Wagemen strikes out on a pitch over his head, Alvarez strikes out on a foul tip that wasn't (you can't challenge that?), and Vientos simply strikes out.  It's already a long afternoon.

[Cowtipper]

At least Senga's season ERA is below 10 again. 

[Edgy MD]

Welcome back, Kodai.

Same here

[Edgy MD]

Looking for a comeback and delighted Senga, but this is very much a second-game-of-a-double-header lineup.

[ashie62]

Three ducks left on the pond

Not all with two outs boo

[Edgy MD]

Senga continues to work against himself in his second innings.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have chased Luzardo. Now they have to see if they can Cchase Shugart.

[Edgy MD]

Young batting for Vientos is fun.

Either he or Waggy may end up at third.

[Edgy MD]

YOU-ING!

[Edgy MD]

Folks, join the thread!  We've got a tie game and Torrens is pulling the ball and stuff!

Chase Shugart chased.

Now, if I heard correctly, they're bring Jim Backus as their next pitcher. I'm Lovie-ing it! 

[Cowtipper]

Mets claw back! OMG! 

[Frayed Knot]

I had a feeling Torrens's failure to get to 2nd was going to come back to bite us. At least no GiDP though.

Was probably 50/50 whether Luis would have been able to stretch out the double.
