Perfect first.

JUST LIKE TIM LEARY!!!!

[Zvon]

Nice. A lucky K (curve in the dirt) to start. Quick inning, 7 pitches. Very nice.

[Lefty Specialist]

Did he throw nothing but 97-99 MPH fastballs?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He threw at least one curve. Fowler looked at Noah's ArcTM, and was all, like, "Ar-ar-ar-ar-at?"

That Arrieta curve to get Duda wasn't half-bad, neither.

Got Fowler on hammer that bounced at his toes.

I remember that day. Nooo!

[Zvon]

I had the (was it Fleer?) tattoo. This exact one.

Syndergaard facing Castro. John Harper must be totally plotzing.

[Edgy MD]

I'm tempted to give this intentional walk an intentional boo.

Syndergaard embarrassed the guy.

[Zvon]

That's a nice tightly wrapped curve he's got there.

[Zvon]

Tejada looks extra small tonight for some reason. Must be the lighting.

0-0, mid 3rd.

[Frayed Knot]

I suppose it would be really tough to scare up the stats about what's the highest pct of time that a team has gone through the lineup the first time around without recording a hit -- but, whatever it is, the 2015 Mets have sure done it a bunch of times this year.

He looks good. Noah throws hard.

[Edgy MD]

Sorry, Murph, I'm scoring that an E.

[ashie62]

Ronnie said Murphy was "styling"

[ashie62]

Houston, we have adversity.

[ashie62]

Yeah! High pitch count.

5 inning outing on tap.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I doubt they still have kangaroo court, but Murphy needs to
write a check tomorrow afternoon.

[Zvon]

Whew.

We need runs guys. Get the kid some runs so we all can breath a little easier.

Plaeeeeease.

[Zvon]

Ugh, Curtis! Ugh.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Yikes Granderson, bring your platinum card too tomorrow.

[Zvon]

Damn. That play was totally in front of Grandy too. What a bad decision. There are times to be aggressive, force them to make the play. That wasn't one of em.

[Zvon]

OH, oh boy what a catch by Cuddy. He misses that and there's a Cub on 3rd...at least.

[Lefty Specialist]

Cuddyer caught that ball like he was trying to keep his fedora from falling off.

[batmagadanleadoff]

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So, appropriately enough, the hammer's his finishing-weapon-of-choice tonight.

[Edgy MD]

I'm getting too used to, and spoiled by, the 2015 Mets pitchers, getting way too grumpy with Synderballs outside the strike zone.
