That's .943 OPS Marcel Ozuna riding the pine in favor of .532 OPS Ichiro Suzuki. Mets, don't let that opportunity pass you by.

Uh, this lineup lacks a certain amount of Dudaosity.

Lucas has a "stomach bug."

Miami cookin'.

No Conforto. That's 4 days (including the off-day) since being hit on the hand or 4/10th of a DL stint. If he was getting better it would one thing but Terry said that it's getting worse so DL him and add a body. Why play down a player?

Ashie62 Jun 29 2017 09:59 PM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

The Mets are still learning how to use the 10 day DL.

Edgy MD Jun 29 2017 11:02 PM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

When did Collins say that Conforto's condition was getting worse?

THIS IS NOT WHY WE INVENTED REPLAY!!!! # toofuckinglong #toofuckingclose

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 12:01 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Really pounding the crap out of the ball this inning, ain't we? ... two IF hits, followed by a bloop, and now a solid RBI hit

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2017 12:03 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Five-oh

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 12:04 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Bruce has run more in these three innings than I have in the last three years.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 12:11 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Gary drawing a blank on Ronnie's Terence Trent D'Arby reference.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 12:13 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

I remember a mock ad for a Terrance Trent Barbie doll -- Wishing Well sold separately.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 12:25 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Cool, they get on the board with a solo homer, and Lugo just continues on unabated. Very Bartolovian.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 12:30 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Cabrera's cooling off. Time to insert him at catcher without warning him.

bmfc1 Jun 30 2017 12:35 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

The Phillies have an off-day while the Mets play tonight in Miami. Does the CBA fix such inequities?

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 12:45 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 30 2017 12:48 AM

That coming-across-the-bag DP just turned was exactly the type that Murphy failed to turn (he never got it out of his glove) which continued the Cubs 9th inning which led to them scoring twice and stealing the game earlier today.

It's tough enough to make the schedule without then having to synch-up mutual off days. The only thing I know that will kick in next year is a requirement that get-away games be day games if the team getting out of town has to cross more than one time zone.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 12:58 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

R. Rivera guns out Dee Gordon stealing. Close but he was out. Not sure why Mattingly didn't challenge it anyway. He gets six challenges per game, right?

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 01:01 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Stanton, it wouldn't kill you to slide.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 01:03 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Man, we should have a lefty pitching to Bour.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2017 01:07 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

We need some tack-on. Lots.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 01:09 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Leadoff triples following shaky defensive innings will get you to heaven Matt.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2017 01:09 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

That's. WRAP for Reynolds! Foiled again! Oh Suzyn...

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 01:14 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Short bench tonight ... I would have left Zimmo in to face the LHP

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 01:17 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

I'll take that ground ball RBI.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 01:20 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Nice running by Reynolds ... first on the decision to go 2nd to 3rd and then 3rd to home. Neither one was a gimme.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2017 01:20 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Big test for Blevvy against a RHB here

Yeah, although I wouldn't exactly tab Flores as Mr. Fundamentals The rest though would bring a shot of youth and daring onto this team which hasn't had a lot of either recently. The vets on this team don't necessarily take either of those running chances, and if they did they might have been out.

Kevin Elster runs marathons and could use the Stair Master at top speed for an hour solid back in Spring Training, love those nuggets from Ron

This J.T.Riddle kid is pretty good.

I'm impressed!

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 01:38 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Opening the inning with Edgy over Blevvy. Big spot for The Edge.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 01:41 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Wow. Eats Stanton up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2017 01:43 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Nice job, Edgo

It's a beautiful day

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 01:46 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

Nice inning from the Edge. K's Stanton and induces Yelich into the GiDP On the DP that ended the previous half-inning, not much Bruce could do on that one. But more importantly, there seem to be a lot (as in far too many) of that type of hit off Reyes's bat this year, balls that start out looking like decent line-drives up the middle but wind up without enough oomph behind them to even get out of the infield. Probably a sign that he's getting beat more often than he's used to. #slowbat

Series win, and pass the Marlins in the standings.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 30 2017 02:05 AM Re: IGT 6/29 Rolling Along

That could have been the knockout road trip, instead 5-5 and gaining on their foes.

Mets would be just 1 game under .500 at the break and a not disastrous 7 back in the loss column. That's when we can get hope back out of it's box in the closet imo. That's also oddly possible given how crappy the Mets have been most of the year.

This was the 100th 6-3 win in Mets history. This inconspicuous score had not emblazoned itself upon a Mets victory since last September in Cincinnati. Among the more noteworthy 6-3 wins in Mets history: May 7, 2016: Mets 6 Padres 3; Bartolo Colon homers. April 23, 2015: Mets 6 Braves 3; Mets finish 10-0 homestand, tie team record with 11th straight win. April 9, 2015: Mets 6 Nationals 3; Matt Harvey makes successful return from Tommy John surgery. April 5, 2014: Mets 6 Reds 3. Ike Davis pinch-hits come-from-behind walkoff 9th-inning grand slam after Terry Collins makes first replay review challenge (and gets a call overturned) May 29, 2012: Mets 6 Phillies 3. Jeremy Hefner homers. Last Mets win after which it could be said the Mets had never thrown a no-hitter. September 7, 2008 (N): Mets 6 Phillies 3. Santana and Delgado star in night half of Shea's last day-night doubleheader and last showdown between the two rivals who were fighting for the division lead. September 21, 2002: Mets 6 Expos 3. Esix Snead homers to win it in the bottom of the eleventh. October 3, 1990: Mets 6 Pirates 3. Frank Viola wins his 20th, the last time a Met would do so for 22 years. September 13, 1990: Mets 6 Pirates 3. Doc Gooden beats Doug Drabek in critical NL East showdown, with Darryl Strawberry homering -- basically the last great moment of the best era in Mets history. July 9, 1989: Mets 6 Reds 3. Juan Samuel homers off Rob Dibble, wreaking vengeance for the previous day's beaning by Dibble of Tim Teufel (and offering much satisfaction after the brawl that ensued). July 22, 1986: Mets 6 Reds 3. Just the game where Dave Parker drops the sure third out in the ninth, the Mets tie the game, it goes to extras, Knight and Davis go at it, several are ejected, pitchers shuttle between the mound and the outfield, Gary Carter plays third base and, oh yeah, HoJo hits one out in the 14th. July 9, 1982 (2): Mets 6 Reds 3. The formula for 1982 -- Kingman homers, Foster homers, the Mets win -- happens for the first time all year. September 19, 1967: Mets 6 Dodgers 3. The Mets' first-ever amateur draft choice, Les Rohr, makes is promising major league debut and, in doing so, becomes the 54th and final player to appear for the bustling (if futile) 1967 Mets. September 3, 1965: Mets 6 Cardinals 3. Jim Hickman becomes the first Met to go deep three times in one game. August 24, 1962: Mets 6 Dodgers 3. It's the first 6-3 Mets win and the first time the Mets beat the former Brooklynites in Manhattan -- their only home win against the frontrunning Bums and, conceivably, the game that cost the Dodgers the NL flag, considering they wound up tied with the Giants at season's end and how on earth did the first-place Dodgers lose to the last-place Mets? They beat Don Drysdale, en route to a Cy Young (25-9), no less.
