Damnit

 

[GK86]

Our d is determined to give the run back.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

I don't know what the fuck happened to Lagares.

Arod is really great with this analyst stuff.

 

[zroid]

He's actually good at being an analyst.

he is soooo much better than these other hacks

 

[Frozenprince]

Juan has totally gone to shit. Should have just left Yo in center and Conforto in left.

 

[Najaf]

Ok, I'll admit I know next to shit about baseball, but I've been exposed enough to have an opinion about A-Rod. Can someone explain why he's now this media darling with the networks and providing commentaries etc.? Surely there is a more respected player that can be paraded in front of the masses?

I feel like this is some sort of media angle to patch his tainted reputation. Can anyone shed some light on this? I know he wasn't the only one on PEDs, but there are certainly better options out there to bring in for things like this.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Lagares needs that surgery in the offseason

 

[JDHarbs]

load 'em up

Because most people realize that PED's are rampant in the game, A-Rod is an all-time top-10 player, he's well spoken, he's always been respectful and he hasn't done anything the rest of baseball hasn't. People who know baseball know he deserves to play. Selig just hated his guts.

Bud Black named Nationals manager. Strasburg's arm has been saved.

A Gawd is a great commentator. Loves baseball and very knowledgeable

Thanks. Fair enough.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Hearing this game from the perspective of Mets fan is like a wild roller coaster ride of emotions.

 

[GK86]

Good shit, Jacob.

 

[lazybones18]

that takes care of that

 

[Hopfrog]

Damn. Cannot be wasting opportunities like that.

 

[Frozenprince]

Jake's been dialed in. Love it. If Duda wasn't slow as hell and Juan's head was right, he'd have had a nice, easy inning.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Bud Black named Nationals manager. Strasburg's arm has been saved.

Pity, Baker with those arms would have been a treat to watch from afar.

Dusty to the Dodgers!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Nice hire. Always liked Bud Black.

Baker would have killed them.

Jon Heyman is reporting the Blue Jays are picking up R.A. Dickey's $12 million option for 2016. It had a $1 million buyout.

Smart move, he's still a solid #5 pitcher.

 

[Frozenprince]

Man Conforto just cannot make contact right now.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Baker would have killed them.

Exactly. The drama would be hilarious.

Nice. God Bless Dickey

 

[ZootedGranny]

I'll take Cueto's performance tonight.

Now, will Yost operate as normal and let Cueto struggle before getting someone up in the pen?

 

[lupinko]

Looking like the Missouri is the River of Dreams for the Mets so far tonight.

 

[UltimaPooh]

Well hey....

At least Cain deliver breakfast to all of America... So we got that going for us!

 

[JDHarbs]

pen is tired after last night. i think both teams are going to leave the starters in for as long as they can.

 

[Gouty]

Why do we keep taking these first pitch meatballs? Fucking swing, its the only surefire look you'll get with Degrom

 

[Tragicomedy]

Because he's starting to walk guys? I dunno.

 

[GK86]

Come on, Ump.

 

[jmaine_ph]

This ump man.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Marlins are expected to announce the hiring of Don Mattingly tomorrow.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Come on, Ump.

Calls favoring deGrom so far. Some bad calls against Cueto, tbh. Some very low strikes called for the Mets.

 

[Hopfrog]

Gotta get something here.

 

[ZootedGranny]

pen is tired after last night. i think both teams are going to leave the starters in for as long as they can.

I know he's normally long relief, but Medlen can go 2, and they've said Herrera can go 1. Maybe Cueto is fine, but he's walked a tightrope tonight, and this will be the 3rd time through the order.

In summation, I'm nervous.

 

[lazybones18]

Miracle Magic about to kick in >_<

 

[Frozenprince]

Not really. Cueto is being squeezed against righties, deGrom against lefties. It's been fairly even that way.

 

[see5harp]

Can't give up leadoff walks man. Come on.

 

[User 479360]

Sad to hear about the three Royals players losing parents. I can't even imagine.

Hoping the Mets can eke out a win tonight, though. Last I checked it was 0-0.

 

[Malo]

KC needs to stop bunting.

 

[lazybones18]

lol, nice bunting Esky

 

[JDHarbs]

ESKY! Tie game!

 

[detectiveconan1]

Yes!!!

 

[UltimaPooh]

Tiiiiiiiiiiie

lol, nice bunting Esky

Yeah... He got tired of those.

 

[Hopfrog]

No bunting now please, just base hits.

 

[Elfforkusu]

"Fuck you, should've let me bunt."
