Wonder how Rosario is feeling.

[Edgy MD]

I wonder if he would have caught that game-turning drive off the top of Reyes' glove.

[ashie62]

Rosario is still dealing with a stomach issue.

I like Asdrbal 3rd and Dominic fourth.

[ashie62]

Rosario is hospitalized with gastroenteritis.

[Edgy MD]

And Ozuna needs to be hospitalized with awesomeness.

How long can you keep a team down with Stanton-Yellich-Ozuna in the outfield? It's like Valentine-Dawson-Cromartie for the new age. Or Bell-Moseby-Barfield.

Only better.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I just took a peek at the score. Things don't seem to be going all that well. Marlins up 5-0 and batting in the fourth.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not even gonna tune in. Sorry Mets

[Guest d'Kong76]

I was using the game as an excuse to not get anything accomplished. Hard to justify.

[Frayed Knot]

All Marlins runs have scored with two outs.
Most of their rallies started after two were out.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Mets got a run back on a pinch-single by d'Arnaud.

Chris Flexen now pitching for the Mets. I anticipate another five runs for Miami.

[ashie62]

Down 5-1. Plawecki has two hits in his bid to be the 2018 starting catcher.

[Edgy MD]

We've got a Nimbus Bomb in captivity, helping the Mets pull within a 5-2 deficit.

YEAH! Solo homers!

Seriously. I hate day games that suck.

[Edgy MD]

Into the eighth inning. Zero walks.

This is a big part of what the Mets need to address for the 2018 offense.

[Frayed Knot]

And just in case you thought that maybe a 3-run deficit could be erased two games in a row, Eric Goeddel decides to open bottom 8th with back-to-back HRs by the dynamic duo of the .194 hitting AJ Ellis
and the 1st HR of the year (250 ABs) for Miguel Rojas

[Guest d'Kong76]

Goeddel having himself a little happy homer party!

[Edgy MD]

Eric is auditioning for the 2018 51s.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My apologies to Chris Flexen. I should have reserved my scorn for Erik Goeddel. (Perhaps Erik is still dizzy?)

He's been the 2017 Mets' best hitting pitcher. He just walked!

[Edgy MD]

This game crashed like Cassini.

Circling the drain for a the last few months isn't living, 2017 Mets.

That's unfair, Cassini was purposely destroyed after a long and successful campaign.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Agreed, she retired a pioneer and hero.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Making this team a contender for 2018 is going to be quite a challenge. I hope they have a plan that goes beyond hoping that all of their starters with 6+ ERAs remain healthy.

[Edgy MD]

One game is one game, but I fear that this game alone has cost Goeddel his spot on the 40 this off-season and possibly his big league career.

The team never seemed to think much of him even when he's been pitching effectively.
