That's just what I was thinking.

[Elster88]

If they ever guessed right on one of these batting practice fastballs...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm pouring another.

(Rum-cider-bitters, with a dash of liquid smoke; I'm calling it "Orchard Smolder")

[Fman99]

Poop.

[Valadius]

Oof.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm-a need some more Orchard Smolder.

[Edgy MD]

Nice job, Soler, but we've got a big, strong Cuban dude, too.

[Lefty Specialist]

DeGrom keeps nibbling, falling behind, and getting burned when he has to come in with the fastball.

Hendricks out. Don't know if that's good or bad.

[nymr83]

I love seeing the soft underbelly of the bullpen in the 5th inning AND a game tomorrow, this is very good for the Mets! Now go hit them!

[Benjamin Grimm]

71 pitches through four for deGrom.

I assume he'll lead off the fifth inning, right? Nobody's been throwing in the pen. But I doubt Jacob goes much longer. I'm thinking at most six.

[Edgy MD]

Always good to get into the pen before the sixth. ALWAYS good. I don't care who your starter is.

He is the absolute worst , talk about mailing it in

[Benjamin Grimm]

So who's next? Clayton Richard, the lefty?

[Fman99]

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Madden apparently has no love for Hendricks. Pulls him after 4 innings for a pinch hitter with 2 outs and no one on base. Now comes the parade of relievers for the Cubs.

The dugout broad isn't any better, she asked White Jerry if he thought deGrom's success in the past was helpful in overcoming adversity. Really, lady?

Hey CC!

[HahnSolo]

Ok we've wasted enough base runners now...

[Edgy MD]

Well hit anyway, Daniel Murphy.

[Piggiestomatoes]

That's what happens when you don't try to drive the ball.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Walk by Granderson and Wright smokes a line drive single.

The offense promptly grounds into a 6-4-3 inning ending DP.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

He's human after all.

[nymr83]

The area out at 2B really bugs me, even more so now that we can replay everything else.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Murphy has already hit his homer for the day.

She's the same one who talked to Mattingly JUST after the Ethier blowup, and didn't ask anything even tangentially related to it.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Love that half inning.

Good stuff, there.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

I'm starving and I only have gin, Merenda and yogurt in the fridge.

He's got one more.
