Alright boys. Save something for tomorrow, please.

Stokes might actually get a vulture win out of this! He owes Bobby a steak or something.

So... I'm enjoying this. A rare late rally and all. But I just thought it bore noting: a bunt with a man on third. And it's NOT a squeeze.

'Cause it's more important to avoid the DP with nobody out-- a theoretical DP that gets a run in, I note-- than, you know, GET A RUN IN.

Holy hell.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Why is Stokes still in this game?

In fairness, no one hit a ball hard off him in two innings.
His biggest mistake was the lead-off walk.

The good thing about that pop-up was that it was going to be an out whether anyone caught it or not -- which is kind of important for a team where catching pops is a coin-flip proposition.

[Fman99]

Nice work Frankie.

And just like the Mets needed protection from their bullpen in the 9th inning, your family needs protection from Mutual of Omaha

(only people of a certain age are laughing at that one)

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Phew!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. A happy recap!

Thank you CSB!

Holy crap, a two game winning streak!
