No D-Wright, no Sheffield, no Castillo--Tatis clean-up and look at that DP combo. Plus, Josh Johnson pitching for Florida.

[Ceetar]

Manuel's telling you he's mailing this one in.

is it just me, or does the Tatis 'magic' from last year, look exposed when he's playing as frequently as he has?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

NFN, but Wright certainly looked last night like he could use a rest.

Didn't he have a 'rest' on Thursday?

Did Castillo look like he needed a rest?

[metirish]

Cohen reported last night that Manuel said he was committed to giving Wright a day off in Pittsburgh , not bothered that he's given him this day as he looked like rubbish last night.

You complain when Sheffield is in the lineup, now you complain when he's rested.

BTW, even with all of his 'exposure' Tatis OPS is within .005 of yer boy Murphy.

[Theoldmole]

The DP combination actually looks good. Might not get a lotta hits out of them.

[soupcan]

Marlins didn't look too good at the plate either last night.

Mets defense doesn't look half-bad. Redding pitches decent today he could get hisself a 'w'.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This does look like it will be a tough game to win. (And that's okay; every once in a while you need to sit guys and let other guys play.) If the Mets manage to win this one, it will be extra sweet.

[Elster88]

Empire's on. Maybe I'll just watch that instead. Han's tauntaun just collapsed.

[Theoldmole]

They strike back. Don't mean to ruin it for you.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Anybody bookmark the illegal WFAN feed from the cement mixing company or whatever? I'm getting FOX'ed today on the baseball package.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Redding in a bit of a jam that would have been worse if not for a nice pick by Murph on a bad pickoff throw. He gets Ramirez, but a Tatis boot keeps things messy. 1-0 Marlins.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

2-0 on a Hermida single, but that's all. The Tatis error cost one run, but Redding kept it from getting out of hand.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Pagan walks, advances on two grounders and scores on a Tatis RBI single. 2-1 Fish.

Thank you. Bookmarking it now.

I mean NOW!!!!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Two well-hit doubles surround a bloop single, and a sac fly by Uggla make it 4-1.

If Fartinez intends to play a lot of right field at Citi he'd better either learn the walls or wear a football helmet out there.

[G-Fafif]

Trivia: F'tinez's first ML hit was 5/30/09 off Josh Johnson.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did Schneid get booed?

OE: Hey, Martinez is in the hit club!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Not much of a reaction, at least nothing audible on the TV broadcast.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Hermida's third hit is a three-run homer sending Redding to the showers, and from there who knows where.

Buffalo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A call for Broadway.

We're rallying here. You just can't see it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ahem. Tol' ya.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

If they could just do that every inning for the rest of the game... well, they'd lose 7-6, but I might not doze off.

[MFS62]

A ribbie double for F(ranchise) Martinez.*
Later

* = don't blame me for that one. He was called that by the Buffalo radio guys earlier this year.

Get me Ollie.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

They just reported that Ollie has been semi-shut down due to continuing problems with his knee.

Figgy, perhaps?
