He's from the Canadian Maritimes and lives full-time in Bangor, Maine.
They all talk like that up there.

[Benjamin Grimm]

They all walk around with vomit in their mouth?

[Zvon]

First time I heard him say about (aboot) I knew he was Canadian. I'm referring to his vocal chords, not his accent.


Verrett, we've got no where to put him. Bare down.

[Zvon]

Conforto has to keep playing. He just missed one there. And Duda is rippin' em.

Come on 'lil d.

[Edgy MD]

Bottom of the lineup is in charge.

[Edgy MD]

Lookit Boo's hair sticking out of the ventilation holes in his helmet.

[Edgy MD]

If d'Arnaud reaches, I go to Bruce, but Terry has Nimmo in the on-deck circle.

[Edgy MD]

Nope, hard ground out.

Do they try to get more out of Verrett?

[Chad ochoseis]

Didn't even notice the double switch. Little d takes a seat.

[Edgy MD]

The double switch is questionable. Are they really expecting to get more than one inning out of Smokes?

[Chad ochoseis]

They're quickly running out of alternatives.

I noticed that too!

[Zvon]

Ohhh man, that was a bad shot to Cabrera's knee. Like a fuckin bullet. Ugh.

He gonna stay in? Wow.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He's amazing.

[Edgy MD]

If I manage against a team with Ryan Howard 2016 at first, I bunt all day.

[Edgy MD]

Not a lot of speed on the base paths out there.

[Edgy MD]

Let McClure pitch to Granderson.

[Fman99]

Nice of the Phillies to leave Hellickson in long enough for the Mets to get a lead.

[Frayed Knot]

The Phils were required to take Hellickson out here because otherwise this game was in danger of running up against the curfew rules.

Whatever speed-up rules they put in -- and I think they're going to visit that this winter during CBA talks -- they've got to run film of how he pitched tonight and make everything he did illegal from here on out.

[Zvon]

Kelly!

[Edgy MD]

If they go to a lefty, do the Mets counter with righty pinch hitters?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

there we go

I am REALLY happy for Michael Conforto right now.

[Zvon]

[RealityChuck]

Conforto!

[Frayed Knot]

Man, what a kick in the ass that would be if he returns to anything resembling April form.
Him, Duda, and d'Arnaud. Just two of those three wold be YUGE.

[Edgy MD]

Confort Food.

It would be devastating.

[Zvon]

That was Smokers first MLB at-bat. How bout that?
