  1. Mets have been shut out three times in seven ghost runner innings this season.
  2. For a team that's DFL in the entire major leagues in OBA [.290] the Mets have hit into a shit-ton of GiDPs (7th of 30 teams) ... and they've hit into their share of line-drive DPs too so far.
  3. Q: Do you want to pitch to Trout or any other player who ever played for the Angels ever? A: Not Trout And so it's on to the clown car rules.
  4. Christopher Walken hangs around in bars giving pick-up advice to folks 1/3 his age.
  5. Gary mentions "finger" as the injured body part. Meanwhile, eight straight NYM batters have gone down in a row.
  6. That's five very disappointing ABs in a row beginning with the bases loaded/one out following the Mauricio IF single.
  7. 78 pitches thru 4, but more importantly, two of those four frames (1st & 4th) were 30+ pitches each and the 4th was a real slog.
  8. And Mauricio is out of the game. Jammed hand/wrist or something of that sort.
  9. The 'worst outfield ever' has 2 RBIs, two runs scored, and an outfield assists so far tonight thru six-plus innings.
  10. In Pittsburgh today, all nine starters in the Pirate lineup had at least one RBI by the 4th inning as the Bucs jumped out to an early 15-3 lead en route to an eventual 17-7 win vs Cincy. 19 hits & 11 walks in 8 frames for Pitt bats.
  11. No, but that's where his muscle memory leads him and it shouldn't have been a 'stretch' play.
  12. And since nobody else brought it up, I will: the Mets failure to challenge the first LAA run scored is a direct result of relying on your eye-in-the-sky to decide on challenge or not rather than on an instant reaction from someone on the bench. Clearly that run doesn't count if a challenge was issued.
  13. I suspect that's from how a 2B normally sets-up for a DP turn: left foot on base so as to not get jostled by a sliding runner. The problem there was the throw.
  14. McLean in innings 1 & 4: 7 total baserunners, 3 runs, 6 hits, 1 BB, 1 WP, while going six up/six down in Innings 2 & 3 Maybe it's just my imagination but he seems to 'bunch' his baserunners so that he/the team give up an above average percentage of runs out of the small number of runners he allows. Tonight's game will push his season ERA to right around 3.00 with a WHIP at still under 1.0
  15. Running out a grounder to 2nd tonight in Denver, Ronald Acuna pulled up then hobbled off the field with what looked like the classic pulled hammy. Either that or it was the mother of all cramps and he'll be back in the lineup tomorrow.
  16. The headline 'Torrens Extended' makes it sound like he's bucking the ABS era trend by being listed as taller this year compared to previous years club bios.
  17. And let us not overlook the work of the pen in this game Brazoban going 1-2-3 in the 6th w/game tied [K, PO, GO] Raley in the 7th, now with a one run lead [GO, K, GO] Weaver in the 8th [K, K, GO] Williams in the 9th [K, K, GO] So with no margin for error that's twelve up, twelve down, and not a single ball leaving the infield.
  18. And on the eve of Kentucky Derby Day too ... nice choice!
  19. 9:38 first pitch with Nolan McLean facing Reid Detmers (I promise this time). Y'see, I wasn't wrong, I just had the correct answers too early.
  20. It's a slim lead ... not a sure deal by any means.
  21. 18 in a row retired by NYM pitchers. Looks like we did get rid of the belly itchers after all.
  22. 3rd inning: one out baserunner .... followed by 1st pitch GiDP 4th inning: two leadoff baserunners ... K, K, BB, ? ... F-9 Semien's bases-loaded drive didn't send Adell rolling deep enough.
  23. Well, one of the Mets finally managed to get the ball out of the infield. Unfortunately it was Alvarez when he had his equipment on rather than his batting helmet.
