[Edgy MD]

Well, Aaron Judge just re-wrote the Citi Field record book.

Leadoff double followed by .... absolutely fucking nothing for the next four innings/thirteen batters.



And, yes, Gary, d'Arnaud has been hidden defensively.
The problem is that he's also been hidden offensively!

[Lefty Specialist]

Somewhere in America, Matt Reynolds is heading for the airport.

[Edgy MD]

THIS is a situation that calls for a Josh Edgin.

[Edgy MD]

Which Mets pitcher has the most Subway Series wins? I'm guessing Trachsel.

[Frayed Knot]

so now, even when our HRs are preceded by a walk and a hard smash they still wind up as solos.
And isn't it amazing how often, even when they do hit against the shift, they manage to find the one fielder on the off side?



And now walk-walk-double doesn't score a run!!
It's like they're inventing ways not to score.

I don't know who, but I'm guessing the amount is two or fewer.

[Frayed Knot]

That was definitely an interference (obstruction, actually) indication but no way was Cespedes going to score without it so he wasn't going to be awarded home.
What I was worried about is that he was going to pull the idiot move of assuming he was going to be awarded the base and get tagged out as he loafed between 3rd & home.
That came up in a (non-NYM) post-season game a few years back but I forget the specific actors.


That's also at least the second time this season that G, K, & R seem confused as to how that rule works.

Scrappy Eric Byrnes for the A's against the Red Sox.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, let's issue a few more free passes, nothing bad ever comes from that.

[Guest d'Kong76]

There goes da Judge...

[Edgy MD]

How come you never see a team, when the infield fly rule is called, intentionally drop it to see if any of the runners panic and try to advance?

It's probably been tried, but I haven't seen it in a while. Does one's manhood compel one to prove he can catch the ball?

[Guest 41Forever]

Rats.

[Frayed Knot]

They get extra base hits with runners on, we get Sac Flies (if we're lucky) so as to keep our one run at a time limit in effect.

[Edgy MD]

Nuts to you, ump.

[Frayed Knot]

WE WANT ROBO UMP!

[ashie62]

Amazon is working on a Robo-Ump prototype.

[Edgy MD]

I had forgotten Smokey was even active on the roster.

Meanwhile, Travis d'Arnaud is breaking the boxscore on my mlb.tv broadcast.

[HahnSolo]

Good bunt by Juan. Helped by a poor effort at it by warren

[Edgy MD]

What a shlub of an umping job tonight.

[Fman99]

Yep umpiring has been bad. Giving a nice help to the Shitdicks tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Wow, a stranded leadoff hitter. No way to see THAT coming.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

How much are the Mets paying Cespedes this season? I don't think they are getting a fair return on their investment.

Come on Conforto. Damn. that took no time. Inning over.

I'm really starting to hate baseball.*


*Or at least this season of baseball.

[HahnSolo]

Well we kept the Judge K streak going at least

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

That ws nice to see, but it doesn't cancel out the bomb he hit earlier in the game.

[Edgy MD]

My nightly announcement that you're supposed to TAKE A STRIKE when down by more than one in the ninth, guys.
