Should I tell this guy on twitter that posting a METS SWEEP graphic before the game is a Bozo no-no?

I hate seeing a B lineup, but I guess guys gotta get days off.

This would be a good game to win. Of course, all of them are!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was totally expecting Conforto to hit into a 1-2-3 double play when he was up with the bases loaded and nobody out in the first.

That two-run single was a very pleasant surprise!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Yes on Conforto, d'Arnaud when he's not stinking is unlucky.
Dislike leaving so many runners stranded, that won't cut it in post-season.

I tell you though, while the Mets lineup isn't a murderers row, their depth is such that I don't see them giving anything much up at all with their Sunday squad.

[Zvon]

This one's new, 202!

I'm anticipating that T.J. won't be wearing #54 next season.

In fact, I'm hoping he won't be wearing it on the post-season roster.

[Zvon]

TJ Rivera is now hitting .356 in the major leagues.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw today's lineup.

[Zvon]

Mets porn.

Yes.
If it turns out to be a jinx, tell him we will track him down and find him.
What would follow is too terrible to describe.

Later

[batmagadanleadoff]

After four innings, Gabriel Ynoa is on pace to strike out 21 Twins if he pitches nine innings.

CitiFieldHR ‏@CitiFieldHR 3m3 minutes ago
TJ Rivera's home run had a 92mph exit velocity, the only homer in Citi Field hit slower was Murphy's homer off Arrieta in last year's NLCS.

lolol, it was a slow home run. Now I've heard everything.

Never mind. Howie Rose said Ynoa had 10 K's after four innings. Instead, Ynoa's only got eight after 4.2.

[Lefty Specialist]

Hm. Not sure I would have pulled Ynoa there, but maybe Terry knows something I don't.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Terry pulls the plug with one out left to get for Ynoa's potential W. I dunno, that's
some pretty crappy feeling stuff but what do I knoa?

[bmfc1]

Ynoa should have demanded that he stay in the game, like Harvey.

[Frayed Knot]

Well at least we can't get on Terry for managing according to stats.

[Benjamin Grimm]

A lot of overmanaging this inning.

[Zvon]

I feel an unraveling. BE GONE THESE FEELINGS!

[bmfc1]

Terry created a problem when there was none. It's not like Ynoa had given up a bomb, several hits or there were no outs.

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, that was uncomfortable, but bullet dodged.

[Lefty Specialist]

Gary and Keith doing the Cholula infomercial, lol.
