From 0-and-2 to a grand zlam for Bryan Reynolds. Gosh, what a meaty pitch.

A terrible start to the seventh, and Severino leaves with the bases loaded and no outs. I was surprised he was still in the game.

Isn't logging into the IGT to state how uninterested one is in the game Cowtipper's act?

But that's three big slips by Severino.

Pickoff throw at second going into center, and then nailing him at third. What a bizarre sequence.

Gleyber Torres, whose lack of hustle was palpable during his series against the Mets, has sort of become the story, being benched a few times since the series and called out by his manager, which now gives best-play-by-play-man-in-baseball Michael Kay implicit permission to call him out from the booth.

Marc grew up a Mets fan. The two times I went to a game at Shea with DGW, he recognized Marc. Apparently, they both had the same instinct for finding an interesting perspective, and would end up in the same perch.

He got caught in his lone stolen base attempt, despite having previously been 31 of 32 this season at AA, but he made a big sliding catch in his debut. It stinks to lose him so quickly. We'd love to write that it was really important to get Matt Festa onto the roster so he could pitch that one inning for the Mets, but my keyboard tends to push back against writing such things.

Duke celebrates his independence from the Mets by getting claimed by the Mariners.

I'm of a different mind. There's never enough bullpen. There never will be enough bullpen. There certainly isn't enough bullpen to help a team that scores zero runs. You stretch your bullpen not necessarily by thinking there's another guy just out of reach who can save you, but buy letting guys pitching well continue to pitch. A team used to be able to get a division title with seven or eight good pitchers, get through the playoffs with six or seven, and then only trust five guys in game situations in the World Series. The rest were just guys, taking up a roster spot, pitching low-risk situations, throwing strikes, and taking lumps. Now we have fallen into the notion that we think we need a dozen trustworthy guys. We don't, though. And there's nothing magic about 100 pitches. If we all had six fingers on each hand, we'd be letting starting pitchers throw 144 pitches, as long as they were effective, before pulling them. We'd need even smaller bullpens. Let guys who are effective keep pitching, score a few runs when you can, and run up the opposition pitch counts, and then you don't have to worry about getting more relievers. But there isn't enough pitching in the world to win your team is shut out. And there isn't enough room on the roster to keep enough pitching around to keep the game 0–0 forever.

Well, that's that. How long was that? About 57 minutes?

And there you go. Pull your pitcher when he's cruising, watch the next guy take a bruising.

Hey, Mets and Nats, a lot of people paid to watch this game. And on that note, Snake Irvin strikes out Tyrone Taytay to retire his 17th straight Met.

Seems like the two teams want to go to the clown car rules early in this one.

Dr. Jake is kind of bringing it effortlessly out there, isn't he?

This game is flying by.
