Well, maybe the change of scenery will help.

We know all about the pitchers so good luck hitters.

Uh! Come home already!

[metirish]

Going to try and stay up for most of this , I'm on vacation so ............

[Frayed Knot]

Ruggiano back, Ynoa sent down - which both helps the L/R balance in the OF and puts us back with a more normal sized bench too.

Cabrera & Cespedes expected to be activated tomorrow so more changes a'comin'.

[Zvon]

I tuned in during the Reyes at bat. I have stadium and crowd sound, but no broadcasters whatsoever. Graphics are being posted with sound effects. But no SNY booth. What gives?


It's kinda kool. I'm gonna do the play by play for myself.

"....Bruce swings at shit and K's to end the frame."

0-0 Mets


I ain't no Gary Cohen

[metirish]

hard hit double for Span

[Edgy MD]

Denard Span is sporting some silver in his beard.

Speaking of beards, it's Angel Pagan.

[Zvon]

Gary's back. YAY!

Lead off double for Span. Oy, we need deGrom to pitch a good one tonight.

[Zvon]

Pagan always looks like he's about to cry.

[Edgy MD]

Trading him for Torres was one of the handsomest challenge trades ever. Certainly the handsomest exclusively involving Puerto Ricans.

[metirish]

Kelly gets Nunez trying to stretch into 2nd

[Zvon]

HaHa, wow. Nunez out by a mile trying to stretch a single. He must have been hoping to catch Kelly sleeping.

Kelly don't sleep.

Was Benny Agbayani one?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Fonz?

[Zvon]

Fonz?

That would be my next choice.

Niiiice. deGrom gets out of it.

The cars are still out there on the OF wall.
This one's an oldie:


Could that be 10 years old^?

[metirish]

Ruggiano with a great at bat ..............and a grand slam wow wow wow

[Guest d'Kong76]

Ho-Lee-Crap!! Rugianoslamami

[metirish]

Mets are tattooing Bumgardner

[Frayed Knot]

Can't say as how I saw that one coming!!

3 HRs off Bumgarner for a guy with only 50 in his career. That's freaky-deaky.

Players to hit a grand slam off Madison Bumgarner:
Jordan Pacheco: 5/17/13
Jeff Francouer: 6/6/15
Justin Ruggiano: 8/18/16

[Edgy MD]

A Ruggiano grand slam to straightaway center would have been a great thing to predict going into the game.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I was gonna do that, and then I forgot.

[Frayed Knot]

Ruggianofacts:

- How many players have more HRs off Bumgarner than Ruggiano's 3? Just one, Carlos Gonzalez - 5

- Justin Ruggiano career NYM Grand Slams: 1 in 8 ABs; Derek Jeter NYY Grand Slams: 1 in 11,195 ABs

[metirish]

three straight hits for the Giants , 4-1 Mets , 2 on and no outs

[metirish]

Fuck , 2 runs score, 4-3 now and no outs ,man on 3rd

[Guest d'Kong76]

That fun evaporated quickly.
