That's .943 OPS Marcel Ozuna riding the pine in favor of .532 OPS Ichiro Suzuki.

Mets, don't let that opportunity pass you by.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Uh, this lineup lacks a certain amount of Dudaosity.

[Guest sharpie]

Lucas has a "stomach bug."

[Edgy MD]

Miami cookin'.

[bmfc1]

No Conforto. That's 4 days (including the off-day) since being hit on the hand or 4/10th of a DL stint. If he was getting better it would one thing but Terry said that it's getting worse so DL him and add a body. Why play down a player?

[ashie62]

The Mets are still learning how to use the 10 day DL.

[Edgy MD]

When did Collins say that Conforto's condition was getting worse?

[Frayed Knot]

THIS IS NOT WHY WE INVENTED REPLAY!!!! # toofuckinglong #toofuckingclose

[Frayed Knot]

Really pounding the crap out of the ball this inning, ain't we?


... two IF hits, followed by a bloop, and now a solid RBI hit

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Five-oh

[Frayed Knot]

Bruce has run more in these three innings than I have in the last three years.

[Edgy MD]

Gary drawing a blank on Ronnie's Terence Trent D'Arby reference.

[Frayed Knot]

I remember a mock ad for a Terrance Trent Barbie doll -- Wishing Well sold separately.

[Edgy MD]

Cool, they get on the board with a solo homer, and Lugo just continues on unabated. Very Bartolovian.

[Edgy MD]

Cabrera's cooling off. Time to insert him at catcher without warning him.

[bmfc1]

The Phillies have an off-day while the Mets play tonight in Miami. Does the CBA fix such inequities?

[Frayed Knot]

That coming-across-the-bag DP just turned was exactly the type that Murphy failed to turn (he never got it out of his glove) which continued the Cubs 9th inning which led to them scoring
twice and stealing the game earlier today.

Nah, there are always going to be those situations. It's tough enough to make the schedule without then having to synch-up mutual off days.
The only thing I know that will kick in next year is a requirement that get-away games be day games if the team getting out of town has to cross more than one time zone.

[Frayed Knot]

R. Rivera guns out Dee Gordon stealing. Close but he was out.
Not sure why Mattingly didn't challenge it anyway. He gets six challenges per game, right?

[Edgy MD]

Stanton, it wouldn't kill you to slide.

[Edgy MD]

Man, we should have a lefty pitching to Bour.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We need some tack-on. Lots.

[Frayed Knot]

Leadoff triples following shaky defensive innings will get you to heaven Matt.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's. WRAP for Reynolds! Foiled again! Oh Suzyn...

[Frayed Knot]

Short bench tonight ... I would have left Zimmo in to face the LHP

[Edgy MD]

I'll take that ground ball RBI.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice running by Reynolds ... first on the decision to go 2nd to 3rd and then 3rd to home.
Neither one was a gimme.
