Gosh, is Ozuna really that bad a baserunner?

Have you tried dark mode?

Checked swings in such situations are deadly.

That was about $110 million worth of Mets that Barco just got through there.

Semien should have come in standing up there.

Young running for Vientos. Empty Met bench.

Semien might have helped the Mets more by dodging that pitch.

Ouch. Extra innings it is.

I remember that weird daisy-shaped neck tat, with his Adam's apple at the center. It underscored how out of alignment his neck is.

Pirates pack their pen with ex-Mets.

Pick a hero. Imma go with Brett Baty.

Hello, Devin Williams!!

Brooks Raley looks glorious, but only gets 11 pitches.

Apart from baseball, Bo Bichette clearly likes to fish.

We are gonna break the seal on Tyrone Taylor here.

Well, that was some good road-plowing by the Pirates bullpen there.

Baty up in a cash-in spot here.

Ozuna has a long track record as a Mets in-division villain. These cold folks need some runs.

That was some terrific pitching by Keller there, thought — hammering him up and in.

Ends the threat on a popup, but it was chilling seeing Polanco fighting the wind on that one.

My in-game box score says Disengagement Violations: Keller, M. It reads like he got himself in trouble for being anti-social. This is the moment here, with Ozuna up with two outs and the bags loaded.

I do not remember ever seeing a third-throw-over balk. I'm sure I have, but I don't recall it.

Polanco wearing some sexy multi-tone eyeblack to match the city connect jersey.

They will probably break out Vientos against lefties.

O'Neil's presence against lefties had been a declining thing anyhow, and very much up in the air at the start of the season. On the other hand, the Pirates lineup does have a high Nick factor, which you always have to watch out for. # PITTSBURGH POS. # NEW YORK POS. 1 Jared Triolo (R) ss 1 Francisco Lindor (S) ss 2 Ryan O'Hearn (L) 1b 2 Juan Soto (L) lf 3 Bryan Reynolds (S) lf 3 Bo Bichette (R) 3b 4 Marcell Ozuna (R) dh 4 Jorge Polanco (S) 1b 5 Nick Gonzales (R) 3b 5 Luis Robert, Jr. (R) cf 6 Brandon Lowe (L) 2b 6 Brett Baty (L) dh 7 Nick York (R) rf 7 Marcus Semien (R) 2b 8 Joey Bart (R) c 8 Carson Benge (L) rf 9 Jake Mangum (S) cf 9 Francisco Alvarez (R) c Mitch Keller (R) sp David Peterson (L) sp
