David Sanborn gives Marcus Miller the first two minutes here, in deference to Marcus' high-quality shirt, and then he tears it up.



But when push comes to shove, he plays that one damn song that can make you break down and cry.

Flurng.

Joey gives it away.

Also sad.

They go with DJ Stewart. Sad move.

Mets caught a basestealer!

Replace J.D. Martinez with Christian Scott or somebody for your magic baserunner?

Well, this has been some old-school pre-pitch-clock baseball.

Strikes. I want strikes.

If they don't TCB here, it's Reid-Foley next out of the pen, right?

Also, despite what the booth is saying, I think this was a foul ball.

That was SUCH a swing!

Neither the fastball nor the slider have their life.

Bryson Stott and Edwin Diaz conspire to make that Alec Bohm error count.

Keith checking out on his grand-daughter's graduation ceremony and forgetting who the speaker was is SO on-brand.

I don't know how good a speaker he is, but it turns out that it was Steve Wozniak, who's not a nobody.

Harper taking two fastballs after being up 3–1.

Thanks, man!

You gotta put aside your RBEyes with the bases loaded. Just hang in there and let the pitcher panic hisself into making a mistake.

Sorry. Having a little dog trouble today that's affecting my lineup skill set.

Appears to be something wrong with J.T. Realmuto as well, with the late-filing of the lineup card showing the star catcher missing his second consecutive start. The replacements leave Phillie heading out against Manaea with a lefty-heavy lineup. https://cdn.freebiesupply.com/images/large/2x/philadel...

Of all Rob Manfred's screwing with the game in ways I object to, I have to give credit where credit is do. Baseball has finally broken the player barrier and it happened on his watch. Bravo for him.

Christopher Sanchez leads the charge for the Phillies against fellow-lefty Sean Manaea and your host New York Mets. The two division rivals have yet to match up this season, even during spring training, but now begin an unusual home and home series in which they play two at Citi Field and then head ...
