Finally found some sink on the last pitch.

Tomás Nido, if you call any more fastballs, we're going to fight right here.

That was a batting practice pitch to Joc Pederson. And a batting practice hit.

And shit.

Everything up this inning from Reid-Foley, and now we're going to Reed Garrett with two on. Damned if it isn't over until it's over.

I'm thinking of having a clubhouse meeting of my own.

With the Mets stacking the lineup with righthanded bats that have been knocking Montgomery all over the park, I would have figured that the Diamondbacks would have lifted him two innings ago for a righty. Then I remembered they lost their starter in the first yesterday and burned most of their pen. And with their AAA team all the way back in Reno, getting reinforcements into New York isn't easy. One of the most overlooked strategies in baseball — chasing the starter early in Game One of a series. Or, in the Mets case, being fortunate enough to see him chased by the fates.
