he'll be out for the next inning but if he throws a lot of pitches they gotta pull him?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

F that. How awesome would it be if he sacrificed his whole career in pursuit of this goofy statistical oddity.

obviously he went down the tunnel to check the CPF and is heeding your advice.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He doesn't want my advice.

C'mon Torres, do it for Baxxy.

[Frayed Knot]

The one game Baxter doesn't hit a double he saves one.

[Edgy MD]

If Johan doesn't get the chance to do what he was born to do, I may shit myself.

[Edgy MD]

Welcome to the bigs, Sam Freeman. Nice hose, buddy.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Freeman wearing pants to shoetops now. Cold out there.

[Frayed Knot]

Sporting the long pants tonight though as he walks the first ML hitter he faces.

[stevejrogers]

I'm mildly wondering if somehow that wall and padding is actually harder than the original fence.

Probably not, but, heh, just another for Citi Field/Mets critics to pile onto their "Why Citi Sucks" narratives.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not anticipating that.

[Edgy MD]

Funny. Murphy profiles as a number two hitter, doesn't show much power (and no homers this year), but he hits better in the middle of the lineup than the top.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nobody say nothin'.

[stevejrogers]

Whew

[Frayed Knot]

Cards cooperating with first-pitch swings.

[Edgy MD]

Nieuie takes the ball from Quint. What a buncha Buffaloes he's got in the trenches with him.

[metirish]

Squeaky bum time

[Edgy MD]

Smoly crap.

[seawolf17]

Ooooooooh pretty.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We're even getting the bullshit calls. It's fate!

[Frayed Knot]

What was that old TV show - The Outer Limits maybe? - where it opened by saying that you are no longer in control of your TV set.

Well Terry, you are no longer in control of this game

[seawolf17]

Didn't like the looks of that last pitch, or his reaction.

[Chad ochoseis]

Was listening to a few innings in my car before getting home. Funny the difference between Howie, who will make no direct mention of that thing Johan is working on tonight, and Gary, who's been yakking it up.

[seawolf17]

If Carlos was ever a True Met, he'd swing wildly and miss on this third pitch.

[Edgy MD]

[seawolf17]

Close enough. Love ya, Carlos. Vanis takee.

[stevejrogers]

SWEET MURPH!

[Frayed Knot]

If any SNY-less out of towners are tuning in here to "watch" the results I'm sure MLBN will pick up the feed for the 9th

[HahnSolo]

Poor Terry looks miserable.

I really my satellite tv weren't being obscured by a one two punch of overgrown trees and massive thunderstorms. Thankfully the baseball app on my iPhone had been featuring live look-ins.
