David Wright doesn't project that sweet voice very well.

Apu in the house!

Saved from back-to-back walks in the third by what has to be the most generous called strike I've seen this season followed by a 6-4-3.

Well, sometimes you lose even before you lose.

Julio Rodriguez is fucking with you.

Well, no.

Gotta be lookin' steal here.

Pinch-hittin' Álvarez robbed in the eighth by the no-dubbles D.

Rehabbin' Sam Coonrod came in after the hit and finished up without a blemish.

Smith coughs one up, and the Mets trail.

Bottom of the seventh went fast for the currently being-three-hit Mets.

And a leadoff single in the ninth ends it.

For all that good defense erasing guys on the bases, he got an early hook. Strong inning, though, for Bicky, who still looks like he's going to fall on his face on his follow-through.

Alonso taking off from second after seeing the replay, without waiting for the umps to do the whirlybird signal brings up a good question: What do equipment do they have in Chelsea that's more decisive than the five-story monitor that is the Mets' centerfield scoreboard.

That glare in from centerfield was hurtful to look at.

He's already pulled into first place! All-Time Mets Abrahams, Ranked Almonte Nuñez

The body, then number, and the socks all say "Nimmo," even if the face does not. And https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/brandon-nimmo-of-the-new-york-mets-makes-a-leaping-catch-news-photo/1241766848?adppopup=trueBOOM! it's Nimmo.

I'm feeling Nori Aoki, but I don't think he wore his chin fuzz as a Met. Plus, that looks like a curved number, and Aoki wore 11.

Well, how about that?! I must've been looking at something else.

It's cool that, by the second half of the game, some of the newcomers were contributing to the win on both offense and defense.
