Then I should only speak for myself. But 9 walks in 10 innings (and that was before the game) and he's not on a short leash, he's got a tiny short noose to work with. IMO, of course.

Washington getting some pitcher attrition of their own. With the tying run on 2nd Id be okay with that as well. But I know TC. He wants to know if Montero can find it. He wants to know what he's got. Especially after the guy does his worst. Collins seems to always give the player the opportunity to balance the scales. I kinda respect that as a character building thing. But this is not the time for such tests. You know what we got w/Montero, I know what we got w/Montero, by now TC should know what we got w/Montero. A Sept. race for a spot is not the time to be giving a pitcher with such a glaring problem a second chance. And as I said, I was also ok w/him starting the 2nd. But as soon as he gives up a gopher to the PITCHER(!), Terry gave him a third chance. I'm still a TC fan but he's gonna hear a lot of shit about this one. More than the Flores business and more difficult to deflect.

Oh wow. With 2 outs to go for a decision. Maybe just a cramp. This may bode well. It can't bode worse.

I would have run Montero out there for the 2nd but after the HR to the pitcher leading off the inning..that was it 4 me.

I guess he's gonna have to go thru some shit til he finds what we all know he has. The ability to hit like a mo-fo. He needs to believe one thing. That he belongs in the majors.

We needed one a these.

Recker isn't as good looking in a Braves uni.

Of course twitter is ripping him a new one.

TC taking fault for not running for Flores is a hot topic. He admits he was distracted by pitching matters. Pretty ballsy, going out on a limb like that.

Damn. We need a miracle.

I hope Jose was watching and learning. No more head 1st slides @ home Jose.

ugh, I know he's slower than shit but what an effort!

Nice Flores! NICE!

Kemp?! Ugh. I missed it. I guess that's good. Notice I don't use the TIED graphic when they tie us. Bastages.

Cards losing 1-0 in the 7th. If I had a pic I wudda put your face in there JCL.

i think this guy knows way too much Yoenis Cespedes has 135 career home runs. The same amount as Tony Gwynn, Brandon Moss, Luke Scott, Ripper Collins and Travis Jackson.

same guy Yoenis Cespedes now has 46 home runs as a Met, tying him with John Stearns for 38th on the team's all-time list.

Michael Mayer ?@themainemets 51s51 seconds ago Yoenis Cespedes now has 29 home runs on the season, 14 of them have tied the game or given the Mets a lead. ___ wow.
