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.

But are you willing to ride The Kimbrel Train?

I can watch Benge and Ewing all season long regardless of whether the Mets recover

Wait 'til the Mets start slipping you some Tong.

[Edgy MD]

Soto has done a lot of running and I'd get Taylor in for him at this point.

[Centerfield]

What’s going on. Are we playing the Mets?

[The Hot Corner]

Semien hits two balls hard and has nothing to show for it.  Then he dribbles a swinging bunt for a single.

Bringing up Ewing with the bases juiced.

[The Hot Corner]

Ewing has better plate discipline than any Met not named Soto.  Takes the walk for another RBI.

[Edgy MD]

Ewing twice with a 3-1 count, twice gets a sweet inside fastball, and twice spits on it, saying "Fuck it, Imma make him throw two strikes."

[Edgy MD]

Wilford Brimley, leaning into his experience as the manager from The Natural, takes the mound.

[Edgy MD]

With Brimley on the mound, the ump is all, "OK, I'm free to stink and I'm going to take advantage of it."

[Frayed Knot]

Tonight, AJ Ewing has passed Tyrone Taylor, Luis Torrens, Ronny Mauricio, Jared Young, Austin Slater, Tommy Pham, Andy Ibanez and Vidal Brujan in 2026 walks.

Pretty good game so far. I like this Ewing kid.

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't realize that while the Tigers were changing pitchers that Eric Gregg also came in as a replacement for the starting HP ump.

[Edgy MD]

AUS-TIN-WAR-REN!

Clap, clap, clap-clap!

[Centerfield]

First time I can remember having fun watching the game in a while. Needed that one!

[duan]

The thing about the umpire not giving ball 4 with the position player pitching is that he wasn't calling borderline pitches strikes in the 9th to 'get it over with', so the mets could have ended up needing to use an extra pitcher which is exactly what the Tigers avoided by throwing yer man in. 

AJ Ewing was fun.

So great to see Ewing , looks like an old school 80s player running
