I mean, I think he might still be gunshy from messing himself up on a catch at/in the wall in 2015.

He sat out Thursday night but I think that was just Dusty's decision.

And welcome to the season, Curtis Granderson!

Time for you to follow, José Reye ... too late — instant popout and the cheers turn to boos. Blegh.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big night for Grandaddy

Does José lead the league in one-pitch at bats? Is there any way to look that up?

I don't think those coaches that every team seemed to have at one point who specialized in fungo-hitting high pops for infield practice could hit high pops as frequently as Reyes is so far this season.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On the plus side, he's consistent.

LOVE the Activision thing, Z.

He was 1-for-11 prior to tonight's game.
But unless you know somebody at Elias I'm not sure how that compares.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Harvey out there for the seventh. Bottom of the order, but potential PH rattlesnakes-- Wieters, Zimmerman, Turner-- lurk in the weeds.

Matt Harvey has been great this year, afaic.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

All you can hope for, no?

He's got to be done after this, though, with his spot coming up in the order. Is deGrom available to PH? Noah?

Zach Wheelie, pinch hittin'.

Mets, short benchin'.

[Edgy MD]

Pinch hit double for the pitcher!

[Zvon]

Wooooooow. Zach doubles past Harper!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The dugout: loving it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I Juant you now. I need you now.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

JohnnyLags seems to have grown a sense of plate discipline. Nice.

Bruuuuuuce vs. Ollie for the marbles.

I'd guess that too, but I just checked and there are 44 qualifying guys who have seen fewer pitches/plate appearance. So if he leads the league in one-pitch appearances, he must have a few nine-pitch trips to make up for it.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Bases loaded for Jay Bruse. Right now, Conforto and Bruce are the most productive bats in the line up. Come on one more time......please.

[Edgy MD]

Bruce 0-9 with four K's vs. Ollie.

But if Harper can defy the past, so can Jay.

[Zvon]

UGHHHHHH, HE RIPPED THAT!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

History wins. Stupid, haunting history.

Goddammit. Ollie couldn't have done this when he was under contract over here? Coño, he didn't even have the courtesy to make himself a decent trade chip.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Eaton's a wee little dude, isn't he?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

DAT'S HOW WE PICK IT UPTOWN, BAE!

Nice play by TJ to nab Wilmermanque.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Blevins not getting calls AND Harper seems to have the measure of the guy. I put him on.
