I can't listen to Verducci lecture Reyes about how to play.

Has he had a glove on his hand since little league?

[soupcan]

And Kenny forgetting # of outs. These two are a dream team.

Logan Verrett isn't the problem here. The problem is that in this depleted state, against a team like this and a pitcher like this, the Mets need to cash in every opportunity they're damn well handed, and not give away the cheap shit... and they're 0-2 so far.

The other guys do the small things better than the Mets do at present, and our guys may not be equipped to do the big things to offset that. Especially tonight, against a team like this and a pitcher like this.

[Zvon]

This could be going better. Anyone get hurt yet tonight?

[Zvon]

Itll take more than that to get out of my doghouse De Aza.

[Centerfield]

Ok. TV is getting turned off. I can't listed to Verducci any longer and I can't watch Verrett walk any more batters.

Will check in on the score but I'm not sure why I'm expected to care about this game if the Mets front office doesn't.

He kept going too. Everyone's walking back to their positions and he keeps going, yak, yak, yak. That must be a play by play guys worst fear. I bet for a split second he was mortified.

Bunting is for ... guys who can bunt.

Well whatever it was, the streak continues. Pathetic.

Verducci verbally writing a baseball bible this evening. *yawn*

Maybe it's my being blacked out and stuck with radio, but this team is dragging ass.

It's not your radio.

I'm blocked on MLBtv. No FOX TV where you're at?

Verrett all done. Ate up 6 plus in a serviceable manner. If we can't get 3 runs we suck. I don't think we suck.

[Zvon]

Bastardo for Muffy. I should just turn it off.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Probably.

As for Verrett, 6-plus, seven baserunners. Not bad. But those walks-- especially the one to Scherzer-- killed.

[Zvon]

believable.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm starting to think that re-signing Murphy is something about which Alderson should have thought a little harder.

Count your blessings. I'm not blacked out in Cleveland, but I'm beginning to wish I was.

Yep, leading off an inning. I saw that and switched over to Mr. Robot for awhile so I didn't even see the triple. Scherzer looked a little shaky early on. We should have pounced.

We'll have to look it up, but my guess is most people here were
ok with Murph moving on.

[Fman99]

Bastardo's a bum.

Not anymore. And Sandy's supposed to know better than us.

A bum with a big bum.

OOO, just what I was longing to hear. Circus music.

If I remember correctly, I was OK with Murphy going unless it would turn out that his end of last season newfound skill-set was for real and not just randomness.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Not that Cespedes hasn't been good, but there was more statistical/video-based evidence to support a Murph-has-turned-a-corner argument than a Cespedes-is-a-destroyer-now one.

[soupcan]

American Ninja Warrior time.

[Zvon]

IIRC I felt if it was a choice between re-signing Muff and getting Cespedes to stay, because of financial restraints, then I wanted them to get Yoenis. But being a NYC market team, we really should be able to afford them both. So I don't know if I lay this all on Sandy.


I told you all last season. Murphy discovered lift and like a baby with a pair of keys, he's fascinated by it.

[Fman99]

Hard for these broadcasters to both call the action and fellate Dusty Baker at the same time. Such talents out there!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Verducci sucking on Dusty's toothpick a little bit.
