Good, give them a little chin music.

Lol fake HBK

 

[Edwardo]

Thx for that one HR

haha

 

[Triple Oceans]

After watching that last inning, I think my Mets are gonna get swept.

 

[Hopfrog]

Gotta wonder how short Cueto's leash is right now. Ned won't want to go to the pen too early after last night but you don't want to press your luck either.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Oh man the Royals just keep making contact with the ball.

That's one thing I love about their aggressiveness. They might get in pitcher counts a lot, but they don't strike out.

You earn your outs against the Royals. For what it's worth, the Mets are playing great defense, outside of the inside the park homer.

 

[Syrinx]

Royals are just a better team than the Mets and match up really well with them.

That's really the most I've gotten from this game/series.

We knew this going in, it was going to come down to the pitching holding off KC for as long and as much as possible and we'd have to see some improvements from the offense. If they can't make anything happening and come back we have to hope they fare a lot better at the plate at home.

 

[HeySeuss]

Cueto channeling his former Cincinnati self. Happy for him.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Buck has no right speaking Winnie Cooper's name.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Damn, Cueto is getting up there in pitch count.

Don't want to regret not getting him out sooner, but he's rolling.

 

[clemenx]

=( Royals too good.

 

[JDHarbs]

 

[HeySeuss]

Damn, Cueto is getting up there in pitch count.

He's no stranger to 120+ pitches. Dudes a horse but with all these foul balls it adds up quickly

 

[Jack Scofield]

Royals are too good. Only the Giants can take down this beast.

 

[Chris R]

What is happening?

 

[Hopfrog]

Royals are too good. Only the Giants can take down this beast.

Even year voodoo is a powerful thing.

 

[Tragicomedy]

We know the secret to good Cueto now: have him pitch only home games

I'm positive that is why Yost moved him from third in the order to second. No more "Cueeeeee-tooooooo" like last series. Even if this series goes long, he'll pitch at home again in game six or seven.

 

[Raziel]

Cueto is also better than Shields for sure. But I thought this was a mets teams with at least 3 pitchers who were close to being as good as mad bum. I suppose it doesn't matter when your offense is incapable of getting a hit.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Adam Rubin on Twitter saying an ex-Met texted him saying the Royals clearly had something on DeGrom tipping in the stretch.

 

[psynergylover]

just turned on the game......

see you in new york -_-.....

 

[Hopfrog]

Herrera, Davis should be Ned's mantra right now.

Herrera, Davis.

 

[Tragicomedy]

For real, Mets fans in this very thread said that had better guys than MadBum.

No. And Kansas City is better in every regard this year.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Adam Rubin on Twitter saying an ex-Met texted him saying the Royals clearly had something on DeGrom tipping in the stretch.

That's on DeGrom.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

That's on DeGrom.

Yep. Not making any accusations of stealing signs or anything, just sucks.

 

[ZootedGranny]

Herrera, Davis should be Ned's mantra right now.

Herrera, Davis.

Yep. But if I had to guess, he lets Cueto go out until a runner gets on. Normally, I'd be driven to the brink of insanity by Yost doing that, because I'd rather Herrera have a clean slate, but after last night I can understand it.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Tonight you rest your pen until Cueto makes a mistake. He'll have tons of rest before his next start.

 

[Hopfrog]

Still makes no sense. We can hit Harvey, we can hit DeGrom. Befuddled so far by Jonathan Niese.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Niese can shutdown the Royals but not degrom?

 

[jmaine_ph]

Maybe Niese should be starting lol

 

[ZootedGranny]

The Royals struggle with soft-tossing lefties, so Niese shutting them down isn't entirely surprising.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Cueto going much longer than I thought he would. Impressive stuff.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Good Cueto is a joy to watch.

 

[Askani]

Wow Esky

 

[JDHarbs]

wow

 

[Hopfrog]

Feeling it.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Esky too good. MVP.

 

[SSPssp]

Damn, the Mets suck! I hope the Royals sweep them so I don't have to watch more of this.

 

[GK86]

So, are the Mets hitters gonna try and battle or nah?

 

[Banana Aeon]

This fucking defense is so good.

Ooh buddy. Mets just can't catch a break tonight.

 

[LJ11]

Yep. Not making any accusations of stealing signs or anything, just sucks.

What sucked more was his location, he was just up in the zone that entire inning. So he may have tipped something, but he wasn't spotting the ball. Didn't help that the ump squeezed the fuck out of him against Gordon.

Shit looks over to me, was pretty confident going into the series but I should have known better.

 

[The Elite]

Royals are a team of destiny, aren't they?

Can't believe the Astros almost had them.

 

[SSPssp]

Royals are a team of destiny, aren't they?

Can't believe the Astros almost had them.

Don't remind me...

 

[Banana Aeon]

Royals are a team of destiny, aren't they?

Can't believe the Astros almost had them.

Astros would have tested anyone. That team is going to be dangerous.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Mets can still win this series. I'm confident they will rebound on Friday.

 

[Tragicomedy]

I realize Mets fans have a defeatist attitude, but you have the next three games at home. If you take care of business, this series is far from done.

Now if KC steals one game in New York, then yeah...

 

[Syphon Filter]

Mets can still win this series. I'm confident they will rebound on Friday.

denial is bad.

 

[JDHarbs]

Salvy!

 

[Hopfrog]

Salvy!

Some insurance runs would be nice, be nice to rest Davis.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Sal!!! Joo know, he pree goo!

 

[Banana Aeon]

Sit Davis now. Let Cueto roll.
