Since When does Conforto get a hole to shoot one through?

[Lefty Specialist]

Since when is d'Arnaud allowed to hit?

[Frayed Knot]

Since when does either make contact?
Or get ahead in the count?

Hits to right, left, and center, in consecutive at-bats.

Put the next one over the fence, Lucas.

[Zvon]

I feel things going our way. I EMBRACE THESE FEELINGS!

[Edgy MD]

Or Cabrera. That's good too.

[Edgy MD]

Damn you, Berenstain Bear.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, fuck.

[Zvon]

Its gotta be some kinda record, right? How many times have we not scored w/no out, bases loaded this season?

Y'know what the stunning fact about Mets w/bases loaded is? That they have one walk this season in 114 bases loaded plate appearances (stats prior to today's game).
Now you figure that walks might be low with the bases juiced, but the Mets' 0.8% rate compares not-too-favorably with the approx 5.8% (115 of 1,992) of the league as a whole.

Does Terry ever consider NOT make a pitching change i.e. Ynoa.

[Edgy MD]

Nice throw by Conforto, but if that's Céspedes in left, Grossman stays nailed to second base.

[Frayed Knot]

Quite a coincidence with Cespedes because this game is giving Me nausea and dizziness as well.

[Zvon]

Cespedes left the game because of nausea and dizziness. Not leg related. But still,...oy.

[Zvon]

Lags sighting!

[Edgy MD]

Welcome back, Laggy!!

TJ!
That's all I got.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice play TJ.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Mauer. I thank you for your slowness.

[Edgy MD]

Wow!

[Guest d'Kong76]

[Edgy MD]

Blevins, by the way, with the beard, the shnozz, and the bleached hair, looks like a skeezy London street operator. All he needs is a rumpled raincoat and he can get a lot of character acting jobs.

Mauer is so slow I'm surprised he's not a Met.
Mauer is so slow but he still is faster than Flores.

What would follow is too terrible to describe. Later

I still take issue with this.
This is the 2nd time the fan has done this. We lost out on the first sweep and I bit my tongue. Now he's batting .500 with this sweep. But next time he does it before the game, regardless of the outcome, 3 strikes he's out. I will jump on his shit.

Now it's okay cuz it's under our belt.
