I wouldn't mind seeing that called every once in a while, but far more blatant non-moves are let go all the time so there's no way they were going to start with that one.
Not without a mini-riot anyway.

[Edgy MD]

Know what would be nice? A tack-on against the Dodger bullpen.

[Edgy MD]

Uribe to third and Murph to second?

Uribe to third and Flores to second?

Murph stays at third and Flores goes to second?

I DON'T KNOW!

I'd probably have pinch-hit Flores and spared myself the hard call.

[Edgy MD]

HEWJ play by Uribe.

Wow.

[Zvon]

It's Uribe to third and he immediately pays dividends. He wobbled but he didn't fall down, great freakin play. BIG.


Shit. Gonzo smashes one off the wall. Man on 2nd, 1 out.

2-0 Mets

[Zvon]

Carrot Chin doubles.

2-1.

Come on Familia. Don't let this one get away.

[nymr83]

Uhohhhh

[Zvon]

[Edgy MD]

Well, if that's the way it's gonna be, let's sack up and win it walk off.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, fumft.

[Edgy MD]

Didn't really see Familia's slider at all there until Puig came up.

[Frayed Knot]

Need a hero here.
If it winds up being Conforto leading off then he just might become a legend in his first week.
I'm betting though that someone sets it up for Plawecki.

[Frayed Knot]

PH Lagares for Nieuwenhuis vs the LHP?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Leadoff walk for Conforto is a good start. Let's bring him around.

[Zvon]

GAH! I thought Newy deadened that enough. Damn.

[Frayed Knot]

3-1 Final in Pittsburgh - Pirates win.
Need this one to close the gap.

[Frayed Knot]

Van Slyke in for Puig weakens the Dodgers OF defense and takes maybe the best arm in the league out of the game.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Wilmer! We need a hero.

[Edgy MD]

Wecky and Wilmer both chasing high cheese.

[Frayed Knot]

Don't have stats to back this up, but it seems that sac bunts against us succeed at about a 90% clip while our bunting is more like 10% successful vs 90% un-.
And it looks like those trends are going to cost us the game today.

Mejia bails himself out. The power fastball to strike out Pederson was huge.

[smg58]

Great hustle by Granderson to get to second there.

[Frayed Knot]

And there's part of the price of the double-switch that removed Puig.

[Frayed Knot]

SWING AWAY!!!

Ruben's the best singles hitter on the team at this point.

[Edgy MD]

Wow! Exploiting the no-doubles defense for a double.

Let's see if Ruben can advance him.

[Zvon]

Wow. I really thought Grandy was a dead duck. Wow.

[Frayed Knot]

Note to Terry: WE SUCK AT BUNTING!!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Wow, failure all around.

[Edgy MD]

Really, there's probably no Met I'd've trusted more than Ruben to hit a hard grounder to the right side.
