Tigers (Flaherty) vs Mets (Peralta): 5/12/26, 7:10pm

[Edgy MD]

Warning-track fly from Ewing in plate appearance #2.

Not a good omen.

[Frayed Knot]

Both NYM failed ABS challenges today were stupid. and yet both batters wound up reaching base anyway (BB & 2B) which kind of makes it even worse..

[Edgy MD]

I'll take that walk and double anyhow.

Also, wearing down the starter and chasing him early in Game #1 of a series is, like, the third commandment of Edgyball.

[Edgy MD]

I thought Keef got under the tag and was safe at home.

Nope. Nice aggressive tag right in his chest by Alvarez

Gotta get that tag down by the feet. Make them go through the tag to get to the base. Tagging up gets you to hit their body, sure, but risks giving up the run. He had his glove in the right spot, but then picked it up out of the way

No way.  Listen to marathon below.

Preach.

[Edgy MD]

I wonder what Dillon Dingler's porn name is.

[Edgy MD]

 It's a shame that was likely Peralta's last inning, because it was clearly his best.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of strikeouts looking by tonight's Mets lineup.

[Edgy MD]

Steal your way out of the double-play, AJ.

[The Hot Corner]

Ewing appears to have a better approach at the plate than the majority of the Mets hitters.

Good speed too.

Hurry, tell Alvarez to drive him in with a dingle to RCF.

[The Hot Corner]

Okay, tell Torrens to drive him in with a single to RF.

[Edgy MD]

Plate 'em, Benji.

[Edgy MD]

I was kind of feeling like sending Ewing on that hit to McKinstry.

[Edgy MD]

Wow!  Hit it to Workman!

[Frayed Knot]

Wait, that kind of play* worked FOR us?!?!?!?!!!

 

* two runs instead of two outs

[The Hot Corner]

Tigers looking a lot like the Mets in Arizona.  Less frustrating when it is the other team.

[Edgy MD]

Hopefully Ewing gets to bat against the lefty if he comes up here.

[Edgy MD]

How often  do you see a triple through the hole?

[The Hot Corner]

RBI triple by Ewing.  Small sample size, but the kid looks legit.

Right?  Swing looks nice. A lot better than Benge. 

[Frayed Knot]

Ewing going to have a good night after the game is over too because, as we all know, chicks dig the stand-up triple.

[The Hot Corner]

A ground ball through the hole that goes to the wall.  They must have been playing him to go opposite field.

[The Hot Corner]

Ewing is having a great MLB debut.  A walk, a triple, an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored. 

The only thing left is to sell beer and hot dogs between innings.

[Edgy MD]

Say what you want, Gary.  I remember Johneshwy and Kahlil in the same game.  The Mets had a cascade of injuries to their hitters — particularly their outfielders — and were so desperate that they had James McCann at first and Tomas Nido at catcher in order to improve their offense, and they were batting those two guys third and fourth.

They eventually added a previously obscure outfielder named Billy McSkinney — who became the Mets' bets hitter for a few weeks until guys started returning from injuries.

TWO walks!

And two runs!

[Fman99]

Twice a week when the Mets are winning it's awesome 

 

[Frayed Knot]

Props to Raley for ending the previous inning when he did.

If that final batter of the 7th had gotten on then Riley Greene comes up as the tying run. Instead, Greene leads off the 8th with bases empty and a larger deficit, and we don't need Weaver or Williams to finish up this one.
