Probably just a sign Hurdle been overworking him

Low moral character
Wow, that game was nuts! Thank God the Pirates held on there.
Strange inning from Grilli. Some weak hits that found holes, some questionable defense, and an inability to finish batters off. Grilli had 2 strikes on almost all of those batters and couldn't get the K. Very un-Grilli like.
Nasty pitch to finish off Trout, though.
46-30 with some winnable series on the schedule leading into the All Star Break.

The worst thing about being a bad team is ESPN doesn't even pretend to care about you. Even during a rain delay, where Baseball Tonight is doing nothing but stalling for time, they mention Harvey pitched 6 shutout innings and the Mets won 8-0. That was it. Maybe 30 seconds. No mention that Harvey is the first opposing pitcher to win twice in a season at CBP; no mention of David Wright's four extra base hits; no mention of this being the first time ever the Mets have won series in both Atlanta and Philly on the same roadtrip.
Even later, when talking about the dropped ball by Nava in the Red Sox-Tigers game, the segment was called " Dropped Balls" and the graphic even included Revere next to Nava, yet none of them even mentioned it before moving on to the next story.
I know ESPN is gutter trash that only gives a shit about the Yankees, the Red Sox, and whatever other teams are doing well, but it still pisses me off.

It's worse with NBA stuff. However it's amazingly funny because when they cover NFL stuff, it's way more balanced. If the game is between crappy teams yet yields a classic, you'll see it.

Is he the guy saying Matt Harvey can hit because he's a 1st round pick and because he probably played shortstop or something earlier in his career, or something like that? I was like "Huh?"

Manny Acta used to be the third base coach under Willie Randolph.
Egh...I get that the Mets are bad and the Phillies are sub-par and so it's not exactly a hot topic. But at the same time it feels like they really aren't keeping up with these teams the way they should. Today, when they were talking about All-Star balloting, was the first time I think I saw ESPN recognize that David Wright is actually having a very, very good season, and deserves that starting spot.
But then I've kinda gotten myself out of watching ESPN so much, as Baseball Tonight has been terrible for a good while. So maybe I'm wrong about that.

I know who he is. After that he was the manager for the Nats and then the Indians.
I can understand when they only have an hour and need to get everything in. But they're literally doing nothing but stalling for time right now, and I don't think they've even mentioned a few games at all, so I guess even getting any airtime is a plus.
I think they're pretty much just redoing the BT broadcast instead of going more in-depth. Which they should do; they've already gone over all the games, why not take the time to go through the details of each game? That rain doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon.

I meant that as that dogshit used to be a valued coach.

Our bats have gone cold the past few games. I thought Tepesch was supposed to be bad? :/
He's not bad, but he is a rookie. A WHIP of 1.3 isn't bad all things considered.

That was a nasty ass curve ball.
Making up for lack of bud norris in the national league
Edit: hope Norris doesnt pitch Tuesday or Wednesday I'm gonna be there
Is it worth sacrificing your self respect to stay in the majors? It is for Munenori.

Is the K zone as fucked up as Gameday says it is? That curve and a cutter earlier in the AB were squarely in the box.

May the Schwartz be with you
Was at the Giants game today. Shame we lost :/
Came close to tying the game a few times there.

I guess the only constant is that Wright deserves to go both years.
It'd be great if this game got rained out and I get Wainwright for 2 starts next week
Good thing we didn't need his win tonight.
Yea damn koz
