  1. Holy shit I jinxed Heredia, and McCann is halfway to a cycle
  2. Heredia plays with a head of steam. I liked him as a Met
  3. And Nido erases Acuna stealing
  4. Underway. Got away with a foul ball call on what should have been a passed ball
  5. Need a 40-man move to get him. I suppose we could dump Tovar. Or Maybin
  6. http://mbtn.net/images/broom.jpg>
  7. HBP, SB, 1B: Tying run up. This pitching change is brought to you by some law firm
  8. I like how the late-arriving second baseman's shoulders just collapse in shame after he can't corral the throw. The announcers are awful.
  9. I keep score of all the Cheetos games, what I need is the Ultimate Cheetos Database
  10. Tuesday night Mets club keeps score but I stopped doing it myself once I officially outsourced my memory to Google
  11. Oh c'mon. An umpire shouldn't be allowed to call a baserunner safe because he was "close enough" in tagging the base. Maybe next, a first baseman wouldn't have to have his foot on the base to complete an out play at first. Or maybe the home ump should be allowed to call a strike on a pitch that he truly believes to be a ball because the pitch was "close enough" to home plate. Because it's so ticky-tacky to call a ball on a pitch that, by an eighth of an inch, barely misses home plate. Youse want a really good football analogy instead of the crossing the end-zone plane stuff? This is like a running back who's about to lose control of the football being allowed to call a timeout just before he fumbles the ball. No it's not. I'm saying leave it to the umpire to determine whether an infintessimal and momentary separation of body and base ought to be reviewable when a guy clearly beats a tag/throw to 2nd or 3rd base and signals no intention to progress further than that bag in the moment. Now if some palooka tries to nick a corner of the bag with his pinky and his entire body slides into the baseline, maybe you can review. Or when a dumbass times his slide poorly and passes the base entirely, yeah review that. But this bullshit we saw last night--beat the throw, only intended to stop his motion and remain in place-- that's the kind of shit that makes every play some theoretical result and reflects poorly on everyone.
  12. I'd consider making momentary loss of contact with the bag--after arriving safely--a non-reviewable call, unless in cases where in the umpire's judgment, a slide goes beyond the bag or into the baselines. It'd be a grey area for sure but they already use interpretations in rule at plays at the bases wrt contact and obstruction
  13. This McKinney Kat ain't so bad, did time filling in for Cain when he was out
  14. Being at the game was a joke, I was so upset I nearly left. The three most exciting moments in the game turned into bullshit delays, 2 obvious miscarriages of justice on tickytack reviews that made me want to punch the Rockies manager in the face, whoever that guy is. Seriously I feel as old as I ever have saying there is no way baseball survives if this is highest and best expression of play.
  15. Tuesday Night Mets Club will be taking this sucker in from section 405, behind 1st base
  16. This game has that Endy Chavez walkoff bunt feel to it.
