Beats listening to the jackasses on YLDBTV. We had YES on for 5 minutes and Fboy noticed they were annoying broadcasters.

YES! A rare chance for me to get to see the boys on...


DUDA_KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!

I'm enjoying Smoltz and Costas.

MLB Network has this SHIFT TRAX corner graphic that shows where the defense is during the pitch. I've never seen it before It's better than the crappy FOX strike tracker.

[Fman99]

Dudaboom!

[Zvon]

DOODYBOOM!

[TransMonk]

The DUDAbides!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

That's gotta feel good for Lucas. Overdue bomb!

Anyway, my viewing us usually confined to my MLB ap, so this is great.

Nice play by Wilmer!

And, I gotta say it, I love seeing Mr. Met on the jerseys.

Matz could use a couple of quick innings.

[Frayed Knot]

That was a huge hit coming so early in the game because Tanaka looked like he was headed for six outs on about 15 pitches prior to that - as opposed to Matz who needed nearly 50.
Now if we can just avoid giving up shitty hits to the Yanx we may be OK here.

It's an OK gimmick but, as with most toys in the TV production world, they overdo it.
Put it up there at the beginning of the AB and then get rid of it, particularly if there's nothing unusual about the alignment.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Smoltz hyping Terry for manager of the year.

[Lefty Specialist]

Matz giving up too many foul balls and not getting swings and misses. That stuff catches up to you as they gradually get the range on pitches.

[Zvon]

I'm telling you right now:Duda is going to hit another tonight.

I'm sure he's amped up and probably has everyone he knows sitting in the stands. Hopefully he gets locked in and calms down. Some filthy curves, though!

Clippard unavailable tonight with a stiff back.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

There you go! Finding a groove. And some nice calls on low pitches!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Yo needs his canary yellow arm sleeve!

[Edgy MD]

His coach was right about Matz getting the side in order. Hopefully he's right that his next at-bat is going to be a big one.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Nice rip by Lucas!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Does it seem like Travis is swinging at a lot of first pitches lately?

[Zvon]

That counts as half a homer

I really wanted Wright to keep going tho I know he woulda been a dead duck if they made the throws.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. (About Travis)

And I think maybe Teufel should have sent David home.

[Fman99]

Pitchers' duel. Nice.

[Edgy MD]

MFPBHP = this young woman who spent several minutes putting her hair in a pony tail, and then crossed her arms in front of her like she was Jeannie the Genie.

I'm not impressed, Coachie.

[Edgy MD]

Awesome how that barehand roller ended up right in Wright's throwing grip.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I was gonna post that the coach was a YLDB and then didn't.
Ooops, did it anyway.

[Zvon]

SLOfeets!

I hope that doesn't bite us. LETS GO MATZ!

[TransMonk]

Matz did well tonight...too many pitches, though.

[Edgy MD]

OK, Mets. Let's go out there and get a lead.

Not to ask for too much, but, maybe a big lead.
