I'd think he's got to have a leg up on the 2017 2B starting job. I'm forgetting whether Walker's a straight FA at the end of the season, or if there's a club option, but either way, I wouldn't want to risk the balky back.

Cole Hamels has 32 starts against the Mets.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Noooooo! I like it when Koehler stays in the game!

Of course, he needs a map to find his way back to the dugout.....

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, like he knows how to read a map.

Hamels was the one guy I thought about.

[metirish]

Ron has had it up to here with stories of this pitcher and that pitcher going to PSL to pitch , he's had it with stories of injured Mets pitchers

[HahnSolo]

I'm encouraged so far by Thor's recovery from the strep.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Thor and Reyes w/ back to back singles to start the 6th. Asdrubal flies out softly. Up to Cespedes and Granderson to bring in some insurance runs.

Okay it falls to Granderson to get a 2 out RBI.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

marlins apparently wanted no piece of Granderson and walk him on 4 pitches. Bases loaded with 2 outs for Bruce.

[MFS62]

He battled. To no avail.
Later

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn, another great scoring opportunity falls by the wayside.

[Frayed Knot]

Too many LOBsters out there.
Hope this doesn't come back and bite us later on.
Can't have too big a lead with Stanton & Bour out there.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice consecutive K's of Yelich, Stanton, and Bour (by Syndergaard, Syndergaard, and Salas) to end the 6th and start the 7th.
Might need Jeurys to do something similar in the 9th.

[MFS62]

Fuck Ichiro.

[Fman99]

Jesus, Jose, stay healthy please.

[Fman99]

It's all coming together here -- Duda hitting, Bruce htiting, Cabrera/Cespedes/Reyes all hitting, production from all over the field right now. Good time to trend in this direction.

[Frayed Knot]

LOOOOOOOOOOO-CUS

Now all we need is to get Cespedes running on occasion. Nice that he scored on Duda's hit but it was one batter later than he should have.





And one more thing ... SUCK ON THAT you scoreboard watchers out in the mid-west and far-west!!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Someone explain to Koehler that his team is losing before he goes out there and gives the Mets high-fives.

[HahnSolo]

Yeah that poor, poor kid--IN THE FIRST ROW!!!!--barely gets grazed by a foul ball when his dopey dad runs for cover. Let's give him autographed baseballs and bats.

[Edgy MD]

Met lefties all hitting.

[Edgy MD]

Scruggs > Bour

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Nice to see the bats come to life, but it would be nice not to use up all the offense tonight. Need to save some runs for tomorrow.

[nymr83]

St Louis up 5 runs and SF just getting underway. Mets can't let off the gas pedal at all this week.

[Frayed Knot]

2R HR by Cincy. Still 8-5 Cards but the Reds not going away easily and they're still just in the 6th.

[G-Fafif]

Anybody catch the dig at GKR's predecessor earlier? A clip from 2000 played, Ronnie referred to Mr. "CAHN-fidence," while Gary simply uttered, "Can of corn."

[Edgy MD]

Amazin'.
