We're the Mets, we only do solo HRs.

I demand this game be put out of reach.

What?? That's treason of the highest order! That's worse than my innocent purchase of a pulled pork sandwich at the Greg Luzinski stand at Cit Bank, and I still get abused for that!!

Assuring someone of a 1.000 OBA will always be a losing proposition in the long run.
But if this becomes a one run game in the late innings ...

[Frayed Knot]

21 (outs) or over, that's what we want from our starters.
Nice job by deGrom who's been behind the pitch-count eight-ball since the very first inning.

[Zvon]

Just learned about Flores....and STANTONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Jeez, he's not even on my nemesis list.

It's not the OBP I'm worried about, it's the safety of the people sitting in the outfield stands. And on line at the Shake Shack. And walking in the parking lot. And driving in Glen Cove. And arriving Delta Flight 2465 from Tampa...

I'm joking, but it's conflicts like that why I shy away from fantasy sports.

[Zvon]

Reed lookin' good. Big K there.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd have liked us to have a 7 or 8 run lead but it's 2 for the Familiaman

[Zvon]

Hey, good news. Stanton can't hit anymore than a solo homer as he leads off the 9th.
GO FAMILIA!!!!Bring it home!!!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Uno.

[Zvon]

Familia shows Stanton who's boss.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

DOUBLE PLAY PITB

[Guest themetfairy]

Or not?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Con-fucking-firmed

[Frayed Knot]

THIS IS FREAKIN' ABSURD!!!!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Donnie Baseball delays the official shouting of "Books!" with a review call.

[ashie62]

I had posted in a Wright thread that Flores could provide the 3B production that David might.

Maybe?

[Lefty Specialist]

[Zvon]

Wow. Familia is on such an amazing run.

Ahhhh shit. Now the Fish have no challenge left and this should not be reviewed.

CALL STANDS!!!

[Guest themetfairy]

The Mets Win!



And FUCK YOU ICHIRO!!!!!

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a Suzuki GiDP.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Fuck Don Mattingly and additional reviews. Fuck Ichiro too, while
we're fucking. Arrive home safely.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

[Frayed Knot]

Why does every team we face seem to have unlimited reviews?
This is MLB, not coffee at FRIENDLY's!!

I'm getting sick of it FK. If that call today was reversed I would have gone ballistic on baseball. The business where you lose your challenge after an unsuccessful one has to be adhered to. There could be rare exceptions by the umps to review it themselves, but if the manager tries to start the process after losing a challenge, if he opens his mouth, any possibility of review should be nullified by his actions.

Like with the kid who lost that no-hitter to a bad call on the last out. I would want the umps to be able to get that right if they mess up. And in that case, if the manager had used his challenge, I would expect the umps to take it on themselves. But this business where they will review things they had no intention of reviewing because a manager who had no challenge, challenged, has to stop.

If game length is a major concern of baseball this is detrimental to what they are trying to do.

[Centerfield]

What he said.
