IGT 7/6/15 NYM @ SFG: It's Heston's Turn To Cry

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Machi, one pitcher on the mound at a time, dude!

[Edgy MD]

Pitch like the All-Star you know you are, Jeurys.

[Zvon]

Familia with a 3-0 lead out to get Niese a much deserved win. LETS GO METS!

[Edgy MD]

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the main utility we'd get out of Lucas Duda would be as a defensive replacement.

[Frayed Knot]

3 GOs and a FO for Posey tonight, including the key GO w/2-outs/bases loaded.

[Edgy MD]

Washington are losers tonight, as are the Cubs. Dodgers are tied in the sixth.

It was amazin'.

Easy to overlook the game by Nieuwenhuis, but what a confidence-builder that has to be for him, lousy bunting aside.

[Zvon]

Duda will heat up again after the break. Newy is going to be an asset from here on out.

Nice to wake up to. Well done.!

3 runs in the 9th, got to both the set-up man and the closer, other team makes more mistakes than us.
I'd say this was both well done and rare at the same time.

It was a great win, but let's not pretend that the Mets did not do a ton of things wrong in this game. Their offense was inept again. That Lagares blunder was one of the dumbest things I have seen in a while, and everyone is fucking up bunting (both calling them and executing).

On the other hand, Familia is fucking awesome. I remember sweating through 9th innings, even with a 3 run lead. Last night, I went to make a sandwich and though to myself "I can probably make it back in time to see the last out." I just barely did.

[TransMonk]

I trust Familia as much as I have any closer in some time.

I'm hoping getting Mejia back will solidify the pen. It doesn't hurt that all of our starters are capable of throwing at least 6 innings every night.

Bad baseball? Mostly, yes. But watching Cuddyer, Nieuwenhuis, Monell and Lagares all come up with clutch hits in the same inning was a sight for sore eyes.

Here's that play from last night. People are getting on Grandy's case for sliding back in to first. That's crazy talk.
