[Centerfield]

Hoping Zac can finish strong. 

[Edgy MD]

Under way with a 1-0 lead on a Benge RBI single.

Is Keith reporting for duty today?

[Edgy MD]

Jung just homered on a meatball.

I wonder if a pitcher, when he knows is catcher is smarting from taking a couple of pitches off the flesh — as just happened with Torrens — is subconsciously reluctant to throw breaking pitches in the dirt or something else that's hard to handle.

[Edgy MD]

Mets booth essaying on the minor-but-not-meaningless scandal of the Nats aggressively ignoring their Expo history.

[Edgy MD]

Sixth inning, top of the order, and a great time to turn this 2-1 deficit upside-down.

[Edgy MD]

Thornton getting damned hugs after five innings and 83 pitches.

All the more reason to get him a lead now.

[Edgy MD]

Yan getting called in before Lavender, and getting bombed right away.

[Edgy MD]

Baty and Vientos are on something like a classical platoon, but Baty gets to hit for Vientos more than Vientos gets to hit for Baty.

And with that, Baty singles against the lefty.

[Edgy MD]

I'm so, so alone.

[Edgy MD]

Bloody empty eighth, too.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Weisenheimer gotta hold the fort here

[Frayed Knot]

A win here in the 9th (or beyond) is the difference between needing a sweep vs the Nationals to escape the dreaded 'cellar dweller' label vs needing only two of three.

Soto - Bichette - Benge

 

 

... and now the inning looks like it'll end quicker than it took me to type the above sentence.

[Edgy MD]

Jordan Montgomery on for the save?

[Edgy MD]

And everybody on the Mets swings at the first pitch?

[Edgy MD]

Bleef.

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like we're going to have to sweep.
