This year he's Mr. Late August.

Anybody know where Cespy's HR landed? Too bad this game isn't being broadcast by anyone that might be able to show me.

In the seats.





Seven complete for Noah but in only six innings worth of pitches (90).
No sweat to go at least one more unless his spot in the order comes up in a critical PH situation ... and even then I'm not sure I'd do it. None of the Robles/Reed/Familia trio has been so dependable lately.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Love the pace of this ballgame, I hope it lasts!

[Edgy MD]

Bunting keeps you out of the double play.

Oh, wait.

[Zvon]

Tsk, tsk.

I don't want to see the pen til Fammy starts singing.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Just a terrible bunt and with two strikes from a dude that can go yard. Boo.

[Zvon]

And a few more runs could have afforded him 9. I doubt TC lets him w/only a 2 run lead.

[Zvon]

98 pitches. LET HIM GO NINE!

[Frayed Knot]

If I'm managing, Syndy is pitching the 9th -- at least until he gets into trouble at which point you can go to either Jan or Marcia.

At least start the 9th, no bumps, bingbangboom. 1 bump. Hook.

[Lefty Specialist]

Worst three words you can hear on an ESPN broadcast: "Time now for......"

Worst four words: "Coming up on ESPN........"

[Zvon]

We could always get 10 runs here.

If I'm Mike Brady, I play it the same way.

[Zvon]

Oh boy. It'll be Fammy. If this backfires I throw TC on the fire myself.

They just showed the replay again and I still don't know where it landed.

[Frayed Knot]

Fasten 'em!

This ones an oldy. Haven't had to use it.

Noah should have demanded that he stay in the game. Terry always falls for that.

[Zvon]

They bunt. Thank you BB.

[Guest d'Kong76]

What fun, and a quickie!!

[Guest themetfairy]

[Edgy MD]

You're the tying run at the plate and put down a bunt ... that's pretty crazy, unless you're Bud Harrelson or Ozzie Smith.

[Zvon]

I expected most games to go just like this in 2016. Great starting pitching. Someone pokes a long ball, Cespedes at least 30 times, and Fammy closes the door. It's all been about expectations this season. Much frustration with the lack of one or the other or both. A few more of these and...

And if Cespedes can duplicate his late season run from last year, wow, that would be legendary shit.

Lets go Mets.
