Well this is messy.

Nimmo should have been deeper, right?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Familia was owning Zobrist down and crap... why throw him a strike?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Aw hell.

He has coaches, it's like his third game.

[Edgy MD]

OK, that's a biggie.

[Edgy MD]

Staying with the same pitch since that double.

[Edgy MD]

Two biggies. My stars and stirrups.

[Edgy MD]

Holy smokes. Loney seemed so detached that I thought he lost it.

[Guest d'Kong76]

A little more dramatic than I care for, but hats off the Familia
for working through it. Bookagoogies!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Wow. I confess that I lost faith there.

Indeed. I was speaking to Goodwin there.

[Edgy MD]

I think Nimmo's smile is great.

I couldn't give a shit about Familia's 'streak', but geez that was a much needed win!!

Wow, me too. I could see them go down in flames but Familia just manned up.

It's hard not to grin with him!

What a game, holy crap! Nice to see some signs of life.

Parachuting in here late, but that pinch runner really has to score on that double in the ninth, right? I know he's a pitcher, yes, and theres no one out, but Nimmo misplayed that bounce off the wall. I was shocked on the initial view that he didn't get sent.

[Edgy MD]

No outs. The third base coach is likely playing the odds there.

But yeah, if he gets down the line himself (a la Bobby Valentine), he can get a better read on the mis-play, but he may have already had the sign up before the ball dribbled away.

[Frayed Knot]

He danced between 1st & 2nd for a second or three before he was sure it was going to clear Nimmo's head otherwise, yeah, he would havee scored easily.
I think it was probably 50/50 that he would have scored anyway if sent but, with no outs, holding him there was the right move. After all, (besides the Mets) who doesn't score from a 2nd & 3rd / no-out situation?!?!?!!

[Edgy MD]

I like to think the Mets have given the Cubs their LoB cooties.

Don't want this to get lost on the bottom of the previous page.

Oh Miss Crabtree, I have something heavy on my heart...

[Edgy MD]

Pretty good call.
