IGT 5/17 Condom Game Mets Yanquis 1:40

[ashie62]

Freddy Peralta do your magic to take the series 

LGM!

[Frayed Knot]

Reed-thin [6' 4" / 177] righty Elmer Rodriguez to play the party of the other part. This will be the third ML game/start for the 22 y/o from Puerto Rico who got some back half of top 100 lists prior to this season.  So far his line is a combined: 8.2 innings, 5 earned/10 hits, 8 BBs, 5 Ks. iow, he's a promising but still raw hurler.

Back to SNY/GKR for the only time this series.

[Edgy MD]

Keith just called him Chazz Jism.

[metirish]

Let's go Peralta ,looking like a hot day the the park today 

[Centerfield]

He’s going to have to give some length. Not a lot of bullpen available today. 

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

He's got a .601 OPS but Simmy is basically our best player this year

[metirish]

Uncle Ben with a HR 

[Centerfield]

The Mets have fallen behind every game this homestand. 

[Edgy MD]

Bichette up with a runner in scoring position and two out.

Like a blank check.

[Centerfield]

Bo can you fucking do something 

[Centerfield]

Blue not giving Freddy that call

[Centerfield]

Bo Bichette is fucking garbage 

[ashie62]

Mets getting shutout by a soft tosser named Elmer

[Centerfield]

Marcus Semien fucking do something 

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Elmer Flick is in the Hall of Fame.  And Elmer Fudd had a big-league gun too.

[Centerfield]

That’s something!

[Edgy MD]

Baty probably should be home.

[Edgy MD]

It would be really cool to see MJ behind the plate on a Sunday afternoon like this.

He's presumably going to lose playing time if and when Polanco gets back, and neither of their other catchers have shown replacement-level bats.

[Centerfield]

Especially when he saw where the throw went. 

[Edgy MD]

4 minutes ago, Centerfield said:

Especially when he saw where the throw went. 

Leiper seemingly had him breaking coming into the base rather than making  a hard turn.

[Edgy MD]

Tyrone Taylor batting for MJ Melendez here really suggests they've lost faith in Austin Slater.

[Centerfield]

Dammit 

[Centerfield]

Walk. WP. Manaea warming. 
 

just handing them the game. 

[Edgy MD]

Mets looking to put Manaea in his biggest spot of the season.

[Centerfield]

Pitching advantage shifts to the Yankees 

[Edgy MD]

I was thinking they should walk Goldschmidt and pitch to Volpe, but he ends up plunked anyhow.

[Edgy MD]

That strategy blows up on me, though.

[Centerfield]

To the surprise of no one 

[metirish]

Terrible all around 

[Edgy MD]

If you are going to cut off that throw, you kind of have to go get it and get that trailing runner.
