The Mets are on one of their horseshoe-up-the-ass runs. They won game 1 of the series after being 0-187 in that same situation. Game 2 they tied in on a slap-hitter's 1st MLB homer--who had 5 HRs in 560-something ABs in MiLB. And Edwin Diaz is still terrible.

 

September is still a bear, after the Marlins and Mets we have Braves-Twins-Braves-Cardinals-Phillies-Indians, in that order. Cards and Phillies series could be huge. Hopefully, the Indians will have wrapped everything up by that series and play scrubs

The Mets are about to crash back to earth:

3 @Braves 

3 @Royals

3 Indians

3 Braves

3 Cubs

3 @Philly

3 @Nats

3 Philly

4 Diamondbacks

3 Dodgers

3 @Rockies

3 @Reds

4 Marlins

3 Braves

Ump show all night. Different strike zones when the crowd was loud. DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. Umps shouldn’t be influenced by the crowd...

So Corbin gets squeezed, and Synderrgard gets at least 2 balls around th edge of the strike zone?

The baby was brought back to the hospital at the request of the White House.

 

How did this play out? Did King Trump demand "Bring me the baby of the parents who were murdered!"

He probably had help this time.

He had help the first time!

Davey press conference on why he didn’t pull Doolittle, “He’s our closer.” That’s not the question, moron. He’s your closer, but he CLEARLY DIDN’T HAVE IT. Managers can pull closers and not demote them, idiot n

You don’t leave your closer out there for 30 pitches. 

———————

Davey Martinez has PROVEN he has no ****ing clue how to pull a RP that doesn’t have it. Rosenthal. Grace. Rainey. Guerra. Barraclaugh. Rodney. Doolittle. 

He has watched each demonstrate they had no command, and left them in too long. This alone has cost the team 10 games this season. Not guys failing, the manager failing to manage. This doesn’t touch on leaving a SP in to bat in a must score situation only to pull that pitcher 8 pitches later. 

He is a loser. PERIOD

Strasburg throws 3 strikes and issues a 5 pitch walk.

No real questions of guilt in this one, lets hurry along to the part where we push him off a bridge and refuse to let anyone collect his remains. 

? Why not just drop him off in Mexico City and let whatever happens, happen?

THAT’S A BLATANT BALK. Front shoulder and entire body went towards home. 

Wrong thread. 

Working with a less than ideal grill at a beach rental. Tritip:

Matt Grace somehow ****ing survives. Blezak and Guerra DFA’d. 

Giving up a top 5 prospect for 200 games of a RP is t worth it. 

Bob Sendley. This game should have been a walk-off win.  

No pics, but there is just something about grilling at the beach. Made some BBQ chicken breasts today, will be grilling a tritip on Wednesday, probably doing some seafood tomorrow. 

One of them will die soon

If they win tonight, the Nats have to keep you on the field for BP until they lose. If they lose, you shall never enter the stadium again. Rules are rules. 

I took the 4 years of 3 bureau monitoring and 6 more years of Equifax monitoring. I’ve had free credit monitoring for years from the Home Depot, Target, and OPM hacks. 

Hasn’t been a strike all night.

That requires hitting with RISP.

Rendon-Soto-Kendrick with bases loaded and 1 out? Yes please

If Henley holds Para at 3rd we probably score like 5 runs last inning...

Also, just because a guy joins the team doesn’t mean he has to be used immediately in a high leverage situation. Why does Davey ALWAYS go to the RP that is called up that day in high leverage situations?

Grace and Barraclaugh can both eat a bag of dicks on the way out of town. Guerra was cruising, pull him for a lefty. 

Can’t. Throw. Strikes. Only pitch that can hit the zone is a fastball. Other team knows it. Sit dead red. Crush.
