There's some nice Nimmo centerfieldin'.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe we didn't win the Dickey trade after all.

[Guest d'Kong76]

He is dominating, hit and in the field too.

[Edgy MD]

Okay, that's two.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Rosario turning on the two out jets yikes...

[Frayed Knot]

So tonight was R. A.'s 400 ML game and 300th ML start.
And it could be his last.

If it is, his was one of the more unusual career arcs in recent memory.

[Edgy MD]

Tying run on third and ... Taijeronie whiffie.

But they chased Dickey, in what may be well be his final appearance on the Citi Field mound.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Pleasure to watch, and then get some back to run him.

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see Aoki work the walk against a tough lefty.

[Edgy MD]

Trying to figure out of if Aoki could have scored on that play.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I don't think so.

Glad he did on THAT one, though. Inciarte. Ye gods.

[Edgy MD]

Great catch.

Not sure why Reyes didn't tag. If that drops in, he can certainly score.

[Edgy MD]

Nimmo doing the over-selective thingie.

Nah, that's not a tag play from 2nd IMO.
If it drops and bounces in a way where you CAN'T get two bases on it you've been handed the lead but gave it back.
And if you do tag and are right then you merely go from 2nd base with two outs to 3rd base.
The upside isn't nearly as high as the downside is low there.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cabrera Wrightesque

[Edgy MD]

Terrific play by Drubie.

I'm suddenly leaning toward him in the Cabby/Reyes showdown.

[Edgy MD]

Pinch-running for Wecki. Down to our last catcher!

[Edgy MD]

Keith: "I'd send him just for giggles."

Maybe not such a great managerial candidate.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bifl

[Edgy MD]

He looked confused up there.

[Guest d'Kong76]

!!!

[Edgy MD]

Wow.

That seemed like Peterson quit on that, but good job, TT.

[Frayed Knot]

Didn't like the bunt there w/Rosario, and hated it after the count got to 2-0
Nice AB by Taijeron to win it though!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Breaks the Tai.

Nice ending. Off tomorrow. May stop by for our first home closer in a couple.

[Edgy MD]

Great answers, Travis. I actually feel like I know less than I did before that interview.
