So much for the Conforto-third/Céspy-fourth thing.

[Chad ochoseis]

This is Plawecki's second straight start, no? Anything up with d'Arnaud?

OE - no, Td'A started yesterday, and Gary said he's now splitting starts with Plawecki.

[Edgy MD]

I like the way Cheech gets around on pitches.

They want to do the things that might help Travis not get hurt at this point of the season.

Plawecki was raking AAA. Mets might want to see him more to get a better idea how/if Rene Rivera needs to be replaced.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cespedes has homered, my phone said.

[Chad ochoseis]

Cespy goes kaboom. Good to see him hitting like Cespy again.

[Frayed Knot]

Second no-hitter broken up with a solo HR in the last 15 hours or so.
This one was not quite as dramatic as last night's, but we'll take it anyway.

[Edgy MD]

Here's hoping d'Kong recovered the homerun ball. To judge by his photos, there is only a few dozen other folks at the ballpark to compete with him.

[Frayed Knot]

Not a bad inning for Montero despite the two runs: legit single, fluke single, misplayed bunt, single up the middle, then a medium Sac Fly w/a weak throw
iow, unlike past outings, Rafael didn't panic, or start to nibble, or go into a shell

And we know he's taller than MetFairy, so he's got a better reach.

[Chad ochoseis]

Jeezus. Conforto.

[Guest d'Kong76]

What's the buzz on Conforto?

[Ceetar]

dislocated shoulder.

[Edgy MD]

Twitter users are saying shoulder dislocation, and you know, that's never good.

We may see Tebow after all.

[Chad ochoseis]

Gary just confirmed that it's a dislocated left shoulder. So nothing that would stretch into 2018. Gary and Ron speculating on whether he'll be back this season.

[ashie62]

Well, I guess Nimmo gets to play everyday.

This injury run is ridiculous.

[Frayed Knot]

0-for-8 w/RiSP

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Cheech = also good.

I think the Mets ought to be more jazzed about all these good young guys we got.

I know Conforto's arm just fell off but Rosie, Dommy, Zimmo and Cheech oughta play

[Edgy MD]

Reynolds, maybe not so much.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Flores whiffs with the baggs juiced

0-for-11 - albeit with one RBI via Nimmo's groundout

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

9th inning rally. Put on yer caps.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

down to our last out, tying run on 3rd.

Cespedes intentioanlly walked putting GW run on base for Flores

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fudge

[Edgy MD]

Brandon Drury and the Blockheads.

[Frayed Knot]

THIS is the game where we don't get tack-on 9th inning runs.

[ashie62]

Same old same old.
