Good start.

Bum We are all looking at you !!!!

 

[Glix]

Lets jump on this motherfucker before he settles in

 

[Silver Arrows]

Damn this commercial for Whistler just makes me miss Vancouver

This.

Alternately, at least extend him early and get to the bullpen.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

This is really the only big hiccup I can think of. The handful of times he's had a really terrible game in his career, it's when he gets jumped on in the first inning or two.

I don't watch a lot of Mets baseball, but holy shit is Thor like this most of the time?

[sf2fanatic]

Is Santiago Casilla the closer tonight?

Yes. I love him.

Yoenis looking fire in that hoody

Atleast make the guy work.

Romo's been closing as of late. Him being the most reliable option isn't great either, given he's given up the longball in previous postseasons (though not as closer).

 

[billeh]

Work some deep counts pls.

Atleast make the guy work.

Seriously. A 7-pitch inning? He'll throw a complete game with ease at this rate.

 

[Choomp]

Yoenis looking fire in that hoody

Dude is cool looking

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Bum just tied to take Cespedes' head off.

What a thug.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Dude is cool looking

Mookie did the same on Sunday

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Hunter Pence looks like a meth addict.

 

[Line_HTX]

Has there ever been a postseason game where both pitchers went to complete game?

 

[Choomp]

Jesus Pagan bring a bat next time

 

[Silver Arrows]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

 

[GK86]

Thor putting in that work.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Thor looking filthy at the moment. Pence is looking filthy too..jesus..dude looks like a bum.

I assume it's only a matter of going back far enough.

it wasn't two complete games (b/c Smoltz was pulled in the 8th) but i don't know that Smoltz v Morris has been topped in the modern era. that's still the most hype pitching duel for me.

Imagine, he cant afford that high rent in SF and he actually is a bum. Haha

 

[GK86]

Mets want to make sure Bum doesn't break a sweat.

 

[Chuck]

Woops I read that as the other s pitch

 

[Choomp]

I heard y'all like popups

Ryan vs Gooden in 1986 is an underrated matchup in Postseason lore and somewhat similar to the one you mentioned...

I'm not expecting much at this point. The Giants won't even need to use their bullpen.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Bumgarner with 14 pitches through 2.

 

[Lexxism]

Are the Mets even trying?

 

[Line_HTX]

No-hitter complete game duel, let's go.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

My goodness...make him work! MadBum is going to cruise if this keeps up.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Bumgarner can pitch 11 innings at this pace.

 

[Windu]

RIP Mets

11? More like 16 at this rate.

pirates media saying that Neil Walker elected to get surgery when he could have played?

that season was shortly before I got really into baseball. the world series that year was the first one i watched at all seriously.

 

[Line_HTX]

The Girl on the Train?

 

[Silver Arrows]

Both teams seem to be swinging often.

 

[Line_HTX]

4th strikeout, Dayum

Nice article on good guy Tony Barnette, non-Japanese Japanese pitcher

[Line_HTX]

Classy move by the Jays apologizing to the Orioles. Arrest that cretin and ban him for life.

The ny papers made it seem like this but never came right out and said it

 

[Loco4Coco]

Thought that was out...

Man that would've been something huh

Bum almost hit a homerun my heart skipped a beat
