    I'm going to want to want to see that played out. But it's not just Bruce, who is hitting well, but Bruce and Duda and Granderson and Granderson and Granderson and to some extent Conforto and Walker too. So let's look past Bruce here for a minute. If Granderson, currently leading off—a batting order position that has been historically ineffective for the Mets—were to bunt something like every time he sees the shift, I'd bet he hit closer to .800 than .200. But let's be pessimistic and say .350. After a few days, defenses would start abandoning the shift with increasing regularity. No more groundouts to right that should be clean singles through the hole. No more liners to right center that nestle comfortably in the shortstop's glove. You can't give in. You can't let them take half the field away from you. It's in the hero's code. And Granderson and Walker have no homers between the two of the, so what are you really losing there?

I thought we were supposed to believe in OBP, no? Get on it, Sandy. It's what they preach, but it's sure not what they've been practicing. Dilson has been responding to his failure to make the Reds by stinking it up so far in Louisville. I mean, he's been outhitting Reyes, but still. As for the shift, I'll take a backseat to NO ONE in decrying how they just give in to that shit. It's just bad screenwriting to ignore that gaping hole in the villain's defenses that seven-year-old filmgoers can see from the back row, but the hero ignores.

    It could be nuttin' but Matt Reynolds was pulled from the Vegas-Fresno matchup mid-game.

    It ain't a bullpen arm the Mets need. They need to get their leadoff hitter on.
  5. Edgy MD
    No, he did alright.

    Did Gsellman mostly get to bat there because of the shorto bencho?

You go. I mean, looking back at Gsellman, is sliding for suckers or something? Great homer, but too much mailing it in, man.

    Reyes one-pitch outin'.

    If warning track flies was the goal, we'd be sitting pretty.

    Nice to see Gsellman get a lick with his bat.
  12. Edgy MD
    Looking over his shoulder was almost certainly the difference. Franco looks stiff and stinky at third. Mets should exploit that.
  13. Edgy MD
    Well, now we know Céspedes can slide.
  14. Edgy MD
    That secondbaseman left the bag. Man, everybody's mailing it in.

    Fifty visible seats behind home plate at game time, and one dude total occupying them. SAD!

    Wilmer will get his swings. [tweet:2h5arwqf] [/tweet:2h5arwqf]

    Well, it's no cakewalk in any other month either.

Not to be a broken-assed record, but the most disturbing part to me is the .316 OBP.

    The successful quick pitch on him may have been the highlight of last night's game. Lowlight: Beerman getting hit in the nuts with a foul ball liner.

    I think Terry plays it touch-and-go with star players (or would-be star players) not hustling. Maybe he'll talk to them in private, but he's got their back in public when maybe they need to be called out more. He sure seems to straddle a line between being a player's manager and just being weak. But I'm not really seeing it anywhere on the field right now. Céspedes also blew off another chance to slide yesterday, when he scored on the sac fly in the first.
  23. Edgy MD
    Oh, I don't think anything is here to stay, especially if it's shown to be demonstrably counterproductive.
  24. Edgy MD
    One more pitcher. One more pitcher. One more pitcher.
  25. Edgy MD
    I agree. Let's focus on building an incredible offense.
