Brian Yesterday at 7:12 pm
See we’re trying to lose with these unis
Metsense Yesterday at 7:13 pm
Haven’t won yet in the uniform
Brian Yesterday at 7:14 pm
two up, two on. Butto doing his Houser imitation
Passionate Human Yesterday at 7:15 pm
Hear we go again!
oL
Brian Yesterday at 7:21 pm
all’s well that ends well
Metsense Yesterday at 7:22 pm
Butto cracked but not broke
Brian Yesterday at 7:23 pm
Nothing worse that a broke Butto
Metsense Yesterday at 7:26 pm
I’m glad you caught my play of words
Imanaga was on my off-season wish list
Brian Yesterday at 7:27 pm
I had no idea the H/R split was so extreme for the Mets this year.
Metsense Yesterday at 7:28 pm
That was a good piece of information today. Thanks
Brian Yesterday at 7:30 pm
Much better start to the 2nd
Metsense Yesterday at 7:32 pm
Baty is so much better in the field this year
Brian Yesterday at 7:33 pm
Now we just need him to work on his hitting
So many weak groundballs…
Metsense Yesterday at 7:34 pm
But he has a sweet swing!

Grateful Traveler Yesterday at 7:35 pm
Sometimes it works
Brian Yesterday at 7:42 pm
Thanks for the jinx, Gary!
Metsense Yesterday at 7:43 pm
That was so cool that visual
Brian Yesterday at 7:45 pm
I would have been shocked if JDM went to 3rd on that hit
Bader blows
4 Ks for Butto
Metsense Yesterday at 7:52 pm
The Mets have Butto for the next 6 years.
Brian Yesterday at 7:55 pm
A weak grounder from Baty – whoda thunk it
Those running Mets
Dom’s making the rounds. ST with the Cubs, minor league with the Rays and now majors with the Red Sox
Looks like Butto is over the early inning trouble. Should be able to go 6
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:09 pm
Evening Mets fans
Brian Yesterday at 8:09 pm
Hey Chris
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:09 pm
other teams ball drop and our nice hoots always find a glove. Donovan, Happ etc
2nd high schooler on the mound in as many noghts
Brian Yesterday at 8:11 pm
Who?
Imanaga is 30
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:11 pm
christ, the guy looks like he should be prepping for pom
prom
Brian Yesterday at 8:12 pm
You know you’re getting old when all of the pitchers start looking young…
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:12 pm
oh i have absolutely no doubts there!
Im starting to use radiocarbon dates for birthdays
Brian Yesterday at 8:14 pm
The Vikings just drafted JJ McCarthy, who could pass for a HS student. But then he’s 21 or the same age as my son.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:15 pm
yeah, as I see my students and how their world works, I realize im from an extinct world
hows school? Band?
Is he done?
Talkative Self Yesterday at 8:15 pm
Cmon Marte
Brian Yesterday at 8:15 pm
He’s finishing up the Spring semester. He’s got 3 classes this summer and then capstone in the Fall and then he should graduate.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:16 pm
awesome
hes at Boone right?
Brian Yesterday at 8:16 pm
He’s joined a band where he’s just the guitar player, rather than the main guy.
Yes, Boone
They’ve been around for awhile and they play all over. They’ll be in Wilmington next week.
That was a great throw!
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:19 pm
thats great!
Brian Yesterday at 8:19 pm
I love those throws on the fly that don’t bounce
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:19 pm
must be pretty proud
Or sure
Brian Yesterday at 8:20 pm
Very much so. He just had one of his last concerts for school. He played an original piece with his instructor. In three years of watching these concerts, never saw a student do an original composition.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:21 pm
cool
Talkative Self Yesterday at 8:21 pm
Can our Mets score two?
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:22 pm
ehhhhh, maaaaybe
Talkative Self Yesterday at 8:22 pm
hope so
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:24 pm
a lot of mileage out of these CC unis
Brian Yesterday at 8:24 pm
And nary a win
Talkative Self Yesterday at 8:25 pm
Are you saying…
Brian Yesterday at 8:26 pm
Click on the person icon next to your post and change your user name.
Talkative Self Yesterday at 8:26 pm
Oh sorry
Brian Yesterday at 8:27 pm
Welcome back, Albert
Bench Bader
Talkative Self Yesterday at 8:29 pm
one of these days Baty will get a big hit
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:30 pm
Maybe
Brian Yesterday at 8:30 pm
At this point, I’d settle for something that wasn’t a weak grounder.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:31 pm
a classic Nido AB
Brian Yesterday at 8:32 pm
Bader-Baty-Nido. Just not many hits there.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:36 pm
Shouldn’t baty have done more there?
nice dp
Brian Yesterday at 8:37 pm
Not sure we should expect anything when he’s going up against a tough lefty.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:37 pm
Dive for it? Seemed pretty close and just gave up
Brian Yesterday at 8:37 pm
Oh, sorry, you were talking defense
Another good outing for Butto. Can’t see any way they keep Houser when the injured pitchers come back.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:39 pm
Houser is bad
in any of your fancy data sites do you have an easy way to see how many pitches each team throws in a game?
and back the the foul balls thing, I was thinking about watching a set of games and just doing the cataloging
Brian Yesterday at 8:42 pm
Easy? Not unless you subscribe to Stathead by B-R
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:42 pm
copy
shocking its not a standard metric
Brian Yesterday at 8:43 pm
Each box score will have that info. You’d just have to check each one
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:55 pm
Where did reed garrett come from?
Brian Yesterday at 8:55 pm
Think they got him from the Reds? Anyway, he added a couple of pitches, including a splitter.
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:56 pm
hes definitely dealing some shit. Love to see him throw
his change up reminds me a bit of Clippards
Brian Yesterday at 8:57 pm
Got him off waivers from the Orioles
ChrisF Yesterday at 8:57 pm
thx. Great grab from the trash heep
Brian Yesterday at 9:02 pm
Maybe we can make hay versus the bullpen
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:03 pm
8th inning optimism!
Brian Yesterday at 9:04 pm
And they haven’t done much in the 8th here lately
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:04 pm
true. It’s my hindsight optimism
Brian Yesterday at 9:05 pm
We’ll take any optimism from you we can get!
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:05 pm
🙂
im trying
after our home disaster…its been hard
Brian Yesterday at 9:05 pm
Where do things stand on that front?
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:05 pm
done! We just finished
Brian Yesterday at 9:06 pm
Great!
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:06 pm
it was a 12 week ride, Ill tell ya that
Brian Yesterday at 9:07 pm
Gary jinxed Otto
Nido!
close but looks like it will be overturned
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:13 pm
yep
Brian Yesterday at 9:13 pm
Nido’s done all he can on the steals tonight. Not his fault
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:14 pm
O dialed in big time. I love him attacking the zone like this
he and Reed are fun to watch
Brian Yesterday at 9:15 pm
You know what else is fun? Offense!
Or so I hear…
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:15 pm
whats that?
Brian Yesterday at 9:15 pm
It’s that thing we did when we scored 16 against the Braves
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:15 pm
exciting games
Let’s see, 3 games with cubs, 28 innings total, cubs have scored 6, mets 5
In 28 innings
Brian Yesterday at 9:16 pm
I see the white sox lost again. They’re now 6-25
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:17 pm
It’s like watching geriatric slow-pitch softball
Hello Brian
Brian Yesterday at 9:17 pm
As stated in the Open Thread today, Citi Field is really stifling offense here this season.
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:17 pm
sox are going to beat the 62 Mets
Brian Yesterday at 9:17 pm
Hey Jose – did you get the email I sent you
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:17 pm
Yes, I di
Thank you
Brian Yesterday at 9:17 pm
Certainly!
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:18 pm
I have to say you guys are pretty great
Made me feel like part of the gang by tossing those subtle low-key insults
Show that you really care
I’m actually not being sarcasti
Brian Yesterday at 9:19 pm
Can we PH for Baty and Nido, too?
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:20 pm
So, Shea/Citi being low scoring environments explains why NYM have had 7 NLCYA among 4 pitcher
and zero MVPs
Brian Yesterday at 9:20 pm
Indeed, although Darryl might have deserved one in ’88
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:20 pm
Right. Didn’t he split the vote with McReynolds?
Brian Yesterday at 9:21 pm
Stop the presses! Baty gets a hit
Yes
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:21 pm
1988? Right, PegLeg Gibson
Gooden should have won the MVP in 1985 over that guy… he looks like an insect. Can’t remember his name
McG
Brian Yesterday at 9:24 pm
Willie McGee? Always thought he looked like E.T.
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:24 pm
Willie and Bobby McGee
Sure. ET from an insect planet
Gooden had a preposterous 12.5 WAR I think
Brian Yesterday at 9:25 pm
We have a rally!
Too many people refuse to vote for pitchers for MVP
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:26 pm
And thats dumb
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:27 pm
Right That’s why Fingers, Hernandez and Eckersley snagged MVPs as relievers
Didn’t verlander win an MVP?
Brian Yesterday at 9:27 pm
I was in Boston when Pedro had his big years. One year some writer voted him 9th for MVP. I can see not voting for a pitcher. But voting for him and putting him that low was unbelievably dumb.
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:28 pm
That was the years that catcher won it – Hispanic Carlton Fisk
Brian Yesterday at 9:28 pm
Verlander won it in 2011
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:29 pm
Cant recall his name. Played for TX at the time
Brian Yesterday at 9:29 pm
Ivan Rodriguez
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:29 pm
Brian is the man
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:29 pm
Trivia question: Tom Seaver entered the HoF with 2 other pitchers, can you name them and the year of induction?
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:30 pm
no and maybe
I’ll say 1992
Brian Yesterday at 9:30 pm
Should have been 01
91
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:30 pm
’92! Winner
Brian Yesterday at 9:30 pm
That rally fizzled
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:31 pm
Oh. I thought you meant the trivia question
Speaking of fizzled, this game is giving me arthritis
typing more than watching
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:35 pm
Rollie Fingers and Hal Newhouser
the only triple crown pitcher there was Newhouser!
gotta PH for wendle
Brian Yesterday at 9:37 pm
SRF trying to get in the AO-Reed category
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:38 pm
nice inning for sure
i hear our minor league pitchers are doing pretty great but the hitting, not so much
Brian Yesterday at 9:40 pm
Tough for hitters with Gilbert and Williams being hurt.
We have a baserunner
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:41 pm
JD!
Brian Yesterday at 9:42 pm
I was hoping for a walkoff
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:42 pm
sorry…
gosh, McNeil just feels like a DP
i mean pull a grounder to get the run. For gods sakle
out
Brian Yesterday at 9:45 pm
I ask him to pull every single AB
He’s blocking the plate without the ball
ChrisF Yesterday at 9:45 pm
maybe safe?
seriously worth the block
not clear enough to overturn
but he got his hand down it seems
McNeil sucks
cant get a fly ball cant pull a ground ball cant get a hit. He blows
another BS loss
see ya
José Hunter Yesterday at 9:51 pm
Prediction: This will be overturned
Call it Pine Tar The Second
