He looks like he's trying to pitch out of the strike zone. Wheeler was doing that off and on, wasting too many pitches trying to be too precise. We are fortunate that there are a few Blue Jays who will chase out of the zone.

I think he still should be swinging away. He pwns Buehrle.

So this Reyes guy seems like a player.

[Zvon]

I may have to take all that back. Thor paints the inside corner with a wicked fastball and Reyes stands there dribbling.

[Guest themetfairy]

Thank goodness for Duda!

[Edgy MD]

Flores swinging.

[Zvon]

HA! You suck Bautista. Can't field Duda's grasscutter to first. Scored a double, and rightly so. No one out.

[Edgy MD]

Disastrous whiffs looking we're getting these days.

[Zvon]

Flores & Mayberry do jack shit. Swing the bat Wilma! It's up to Herrera.

Gah! Grounds out. That was an odd one. You never see a third baseman go for the runner like that. But Duda was right there.

[Zvon]

Ever since I compared him to Wheeler he's been pounding the zone. Noah at 10 K's, 101 pitches, 6th inning.

[ashie62]

Noah hasn't gotten much support of late.

[Guest themetfairy]

OK - Let's get Thor a lead!

[Edgy MD]

Time to get the run back if not more.

[Zvon]

I'm not a fan of the two step that Flores does EVERYTIME he fields a grounder. Once I saw him not do it, on a Jeter fade/.jump/throw play deep in the hole. I don't recall if he got the runner but it was a good strong throw. He does not need to build momentum with the arm he has. I wish he would lose the two step.


Another K for Synderguaard ends the Jays 6th.

[Edgy MD]

There's a place for diving/sliding into first.

[Zvon]

OH! Nice running by Plewicki. WHAT!!? Error?! I guess it was pretty routine. Reyes lollypopped it.

[Frayed Knot]

A successful sac bunt by one of our pitchers!!!!
Is that our 2nd one this year or 3rd?


oe: and it sets up a run!!

[Edgy MD]

Wow... a bunt!!

It looked he was trying to go the other side, but... a successful bunt!!

[Zvon]

MET PITCHER WHO CAN SACRIFICE ALERT!

Tying run on 2nd.

[Zvon]

YEAAA. And Lags takes 2nd! YEAYEAYEAAAA!

1-1 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Let's get Syndergaard out of here with a lead, a lead, a lead.

[Zvon]

Tejada doubles (coulda been a triple) and WE GOT LEAD!!!

2-1 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Bautista giveth and Bautista taketh away.

He played that ball like he was taking something hot out of the oven.

[Edgy MD]

Should've squeezed him home, Lucas.

[ashie62]

Make the Canucks cry.

[Zvon]

Cuddy REALLY busting it down to 1st. I like seeing that. Too many times I see em running like it's the monthly softball game that they're playing.

CTorres for the 7th?

[Edgy MD]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Terry try to use five pitchers to get the next nine outs.

[Edgy MD]

Great curve by Torres to get Kokopelli.

[Edgy MD]

On the other hand, let's try and get nine outs out of Torres.

[Edgy MD]

We've benefitted from some shady defense: Encarnaci�n's ol� play at first, Bautista's playing a flare into a double, and Reyes sailing his throw on Plawecki's grounder in the hole.

[Zvon]

Granderson set to PH for CTorres w/2 out. Plewicki walks . Curtis will bat.
