That foul tip Vientos hit when Taylor was stealing. That was the difference right there.

Scooch closer to the plate, Francisco.

Pinch-running Taylor for Winker, but not Iglesias for Alonso. Hmmm.

Pinch-run for Alonso?

Big Winky at-bat.

Not happening.

Lindor DEEPLY OFFENDED by my comment. Did he homer or didn't he?

Whatever lifting has been done, it's been done by the bottom third of the lineup

Here come the hits.

Álvarez is sitting too far off the plate. He can't reach anything on the outside half.

She may well end up there for tomorrow's game if Keith can't secure transport to St. Louis.

But he can now negotiate a new deal. Reed Garrett and Sean Reid-Foley on rehab assignments can help explain why the Mets went for relievers with options at the deadline. If one or both of those guys can return and contribute, things can get crowded quickly in the pen.

Too much cuteness from Quintana.

Well, that was a lost opp in the first.

We had a mother of a storm last night. The power went out at about 10:44 PM and came on about eight minutes ago. I blame the outage for the Mets loss, as my rooting vibes were unable to travel through the Interwebs.

That is one comical slide/tag play. Stefanik had about eight chances to tag McNeil there.

This pitcher is tough. I don't think they're going to do much with his 99-mph sinker. Ron sounds like he's on medication.

Ron Darling kind of sounding a little messy tonight.

Stunning play by Lindor and Alonso.

Those first three guys all sound like names out of a Jean Shepherd story. Good to see our old buddy Kevin Pillar.

Mendoza likes a hot hand. The Mets can't get Tyrone Taylor out of the lineup.

I'd've taken about 300 guesses before getting to Johnson. I would've guessed guys I was virtually certain were incorrect (Gooden? Viola? Matz? Byrd?) before Johnson. I might be wrong, but I seem to remember Youmans got his 200th strikeout against the Mets, and that's why I pulled him out of my butt.
