Solid inning for the bastard. Would like to see more of those.

Could Neil Walker's hair be any straighter? Holy moly, he looks like Alfalfa without the hat.

Yeah that part was suckalicious

That photo is my favorite one so far.

He got that one breaking ball to fall in and then he righted it. Just like that.

When that fastball is zooming straight down, he's overthrowing it. And it looks ugly.

I hate when Familia tries to throw it 200 MPH.

It's another 2nd/3rd chance, let's hope this one goes better.

Yeah, that last sequence of at bats with 2nd/3rd and no out was gross.

Damn. Whole lotta not so much tonight.

I'm going to be out of band for most of the evening -- so if the Mets win the first game, I may need someone to pick up the ball and start a game 2 IGT for me, thanks kids!

Let's try this again.

Been meaning for many years to go to a Mets @ Pirates game with Fboy, and see this park, but they only go there once per year, and it never times out well for me. I miss the old days when the Pirates and Cubs were division rivals and we had more chances to hate on these two specific teams.

Last I heard, they planned on taking Juan Lagares to Pittsburgh, and then evaluating him after the series when they get back to New York. I suppose that ... could ... make sense, but I sure haven't figured out how yet. They go two deep in centerfield, and Ty Kelly is their emergency outfielder if their margin-of-error of zero gets exceeded. So, unless they have a good reason to expect the health fairy is coming to bless them, they probably want to take a good look at what's available to them. Roger Bernadina Hitting .301 / .373 / .444 // .817 in 41 games at Vegas. Has hit two homers and driven in 17, including hitting a game winner in the 10th inning a few nights ago. Has plenty of big league experience and is strong like bull. Has stolen nine bases and would be the first Mets player from Curacao since 1990s designated pinch runner Ralph Milliard. Hits left. Not on 40-man. Kyle Johnson Hitting .239 / .333 / .345 // .678 in 41 games, 30 at Bingo and 11 at Vegas. Probably wouldn't merit any consideration at all, but he is primarily a center fielder, for what that's worth. Hits righty. Not on 40-man. Brandon Nimmo Going .305 / .391 / .463 / .854 in 46 games at AAA. Bats lefty, first rounder, has stolen four of 10 bases (boo!). Four triples. Forty appearances in center(!). On the 40-man. Eric Campbell There's little I can tell you about Eric Campbell that you don't already know. Travis Taijeron Likely the team's best hitter last year, and he's putting together a pretty similar season this year at .297 / .388 / .547 // .935. Has eight homers, but has also whiffed 65 times, which almost makes him an honorary 2016 Met already. Only plays center in emergencies. Rocks a mullet. Bats righty. My favorite guy on this list is "not Eric Campbell."

The pool rules! It's not just Mets chat -- I have coworkers who are baseball fans, and play in fantasy baseball leagues where we can dig into the minutae of stats and whatnot. It's the cumulative experience -- the sum is greater than the parts kind of thing.

This has been a fun game to listen to on the radio (innings 1-3) or watch (4+).

I've had enough of "Do Or No Do There Is No" Ty Kelly, that's for sure.

A guy that has an average of .300/15hr-20hr/20-25sb/90-100r over the course of nearly 2200 minor league plate appearances (with even better numbers at AAA). Yeah, that's somebody for whom you say to that nice Walker fellow, signed only thru the end of this season, "hey Neil, would you please move over here to 3b for a while? I'm sure reminding everybody you can handle that position, the way you did a few years ago with the Pirates, will not only help the team but increase your market value when you become a FA this year." And Neil being the intelligent gentleman he is, would likely say, "of course, sir!" and skidaddle on over across the diamond. What i do know is that Loney ain't worth shit anymore, if he ever was, and giving him ABs is like flushing them down a port-o-potty. He's got 2200 minor league plate appearances? Are we waiting for him to invent a new base or position or something? Get his ass in the lineup.

Waiting all day to watch the replay, to see that. Yuk. The Mets lost. I was sad.

Hansel Robles sucks a dumpster full of rodent dicks.

Yeah, Familia went from 0-2 to 3-2 on the first batter, then Rivera took 15 seconds to tell him to quit being a shitty baseball player, and he righted it and mowed them down from there.
