He's no Craig Swan

The judges also would have accepted Tim Leary and Grant Roberts.

[Centerfield]

Baty swung at 3 pitches out of the zone.

Can Gary take an early night off and let Gelbs do this for as long as Nolan is in the game

[The Hot Corner]

This is turning out to be a classic pitching duel.  

[Centerfield]

Ok. Let’s score 8

[Centerfield]

So no. The Lindor HR did not spark the Mets. 

[The Hot Corner]

If Polanco can't run why is he playing?  It's not like he is hitting well enough to have him out there risking worsening his Achilles tendon inflammation.  Put him on the IL so he can heal and let Jared Young DH.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

McLean is good at pitching

[Centerfield]

Agreed. Just IL him. Foolish stuff. 
 

it’s not like he’s been effective at the plate.

I wonder what type of loss we’ll have today.

Not sure. But if it's a Win it looks like it'll have to be the kind where you score early and try to make it stand up over the next 27 outs.

[Edgy MD]

Two guys currently in the lineup with OPS over .610.

[Frayed Knot]

I think they'd hit the ball a lot harder if they started using wooden bats to swing instead of the wet, rolled-up copies of old Rolling Stone magazines they've been using.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This is gonna be our inning.

[Edgy MD]

Well, so far the pre-game hype about a pitching matchup wasn't overstated.

[The Hot Corner]

This game may very well be decided by the bullpens.  

[Edgy MD]

Fun fact: The Mets have now gone 10,000 innings without a walk.

[Frayed Knot]

Hit -- 20 straight (mostly weak) outs - Hit

A streak that has now ended!

[Frayed Knot]

Will Smith seems to be tattoo-less. Are you allowed to be a big league catcher sans ink?

[Centerfield]

Yamamoto pitches out of the stretch for the first time tonight.  With 2 outs in the 7th.

Let's test this out ... The Mets have now gone 42 straight games without a two run, tie-breaking double.

 

 

 

Hmmmm, now quite a fool-proof strategy apparently.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Brett Baty has gone 0 days without my thinking he would be better off in Binghamton

He's one of those lefties with so much loop in his swing, it's hard to picture him doing anything with anything up.

[Frayed Knot]

We got get this kid some runs.

And he's only at six innings worth of pitches (thru 6-2/3) so no need to yank him yet unless this next out takes a while.

[Edgy MD]

It's all set up for fellow-Cowboy Carson Benge to win this game for him.

[Centerfield]

Hell of an effort by McLean. 
 

whatever happens he did his job.

Against a killer lineup.

One to build on, too.

Two consecutive ABS challenges that were much more hope than belief.
