Let's Go Mets!

Good time to see O.P. turn it around and also the bats wake up.

[Elster88]

Is there ever a bad time to see those things?

K by Reyes and weak grounder from Castillo. Picking up where they left off yesterday. And the day before.

Gary telling us SNY viewers that Giles' double would've been a homer in "any other park in the league."

Yeah it was hit deep, and yeah, I know Petco's a big park, but the double landed just in front of the warning track. It wouldn't have been high enough to go out in many places, and not deep enough in some, either. I can think of several off the top of my head: Miami, Yankee Stadium, Comerica.

I know the default setting is to constantly remind us about how big Petco is every time we're here but now in game 3 of the series, we can give it a rest, thanks.

First and third no out. Tatis grounds to third, and the Pads get Bell Tran in a rundown. But Barrett holds it too long and Beltran dives under. Bases juiced.

Beltran eluded rundown! Bases loaded!

That ball would've been in the second deck in Miami, no?

Keith showing his age making fun of a dude's haircut.

Back in the game, Huber throws the ball about halfway up the first base line trying to throw out Beltran tagging from third. Ball squirts threw the catcher's legs and Delgado and Tatis move up.

Huber shouldn't have even thrown it home.

[Theoldmole]

Pods considering throwing this one away? Two super-bad defensive plays in one inning.

[Theoldmole]

And Perez with the chance to break it open.

[Elster88]

Perez is a decent hitting pitcher isn't he?

I don't know why they walked Schneider there.

Wouldn't you rather pitch to Schneider and Ollie than Ollie and Reyes?

[Elster88]

During a replay of the rundown on Beltran there was a great shot of the crowd going nuts when he was called safe.

[Elster88]

That foul ball was a shot. It used to be Perez got in trouble with walks. He's getting lit today like his last game. I'm nervous.

[Elster88]

They just showed Perez is at 6.45 walks per nine. Wow.

[Elster88]

Beltran is hitting the ball hard these days.
