[G-Fafif]

Jacob deGrom blocks out the Sunday afternoon home woes. Adam Conley shouldn't look directly at No. 48 without protective eyewear.

Mets Lineup of the Future, ACTIVATE!

[ashie62]

That does kinda look like what to expect next year,

with healthy starters and a legit bullpen. (Sandy, spend some saved money on the bullpen.)

[Edgy MD]

How did I miss the Marlins signing Shane McGowan as a starting pitcher?

[Edgy MD]

Both Miami runs have been produced by Gordon's wheels.

[Edgy MD]

First two guys on in the fourth. Let's make hay.

[Edgy MD]

Nup.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, babyMets! Let's reward deGrom in the middle innings the way you rewarded your boy Montero yesterday.

[ashie62]

No batz

[Edgy MD]

Conley strikes out the side on 10 pitches.

#scuffer

[Edgy MD]

Gordon's legs may be about to buy the Fish their third run.

[Frayed Knot]

Aaaaaaand ballgame

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Céspedes, the offseason starts in two months. We've got paying customers here.

[Guest d'Kong76]

6-1 halfway through seven... time to stretch. Watch youtube, it's better than
the dreck that's on SNY this afternoon. Cy Conley 2-hitter and like ten K's.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Ichiro on to PH. Oh, and fuck you!

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Yellich, it's centerfield. There's no side wall, and you don't have to slide.

[Edgy MD]

Kyle Barraclough has done great in his career vs. the Mets, but he walks a lot of folks. Just keep it going, Mets.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tying run at the plate. LGM, let's make up for all that shit playing you did earlier.

[Guest d'Kong76]

On to the last licks, let's get some base runners and salvage this debacle!

[Edgy MD]

Bring on the ninth-inning thunder.

[Frayed Knot]

Dominic seems to have a bunch (relatively speaking) of quick -- three or four pitch -- almost 'no contest' strikeouts so far in his ML stint.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cabrera I-GIDP to end the ball game.

Yeah, he and Conforto were golfing at sliders and changes in the dirt all afternoon long.

I guess at this juncture, you want the lefties to get experience against lefties even in particularly over-matching situations, but it's not the sort of thing one wants to watch.

The goat of the day, though, was Rosario, with Smitty and Céspy riding shotgun.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's not the errors, so much. It's that they were all mental, not mechanical.

That makes them frustrating. But it also means they're less likely-- in theory-- to pop up when games "matter." (Still, the kid probably should be read the riot act. By Reyes?)

[Edgy MD]

The thing is that Gordon is probably the only guy in the league who is going to beat that out. It shouldn't be hard to keep a mental rolodex of one. Gordon is up, you cheat up a half step, you field the ball stepping forward, and you get rid of it with all the economy you can muster.
