IGT, 2024-04-14 (actually 15) PIT@NYM, Chasing the Break-Even Point

[Cowtipper]

It's fun again.

[Edgy MD]

Here's two legit ones: Daulton Jefferies and Daulton Varsho were both named after Darren Daulton.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I had to look up Daulton Jefferies, wondering if he was Gregg's son. Turns out he's Blas Minor's nephew.

[Cowtipper]

Mets pitching has impressed me so far this year.

[Cowtipper]

Holderman > Vogelbach

[Edgy MD]

Holderman > Vogelbach

I'm not sure the data since the trade would support that.

[Edgy MD]

Man, did Ottavino make McCutcheon look bad.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Need Bader here

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hot damn 🔥

[Fman99]

AWESOME

[metirish]

Wow , this team has some fight in them

[Cowtipper]

I missed it.

[Edgy MD]

Mets should honor a retired number or retire a new one every damn night!

[Edgy MD]

The Mets can really honor Jackie Robinson with bunt hits followed by tearing up the basepaths.

Happy to see them working the second half of that suggestion.

[Frayed Knot]

6-3
And still only one out.

[Edgy MD]

And here's to foot-first slides.

[Frayed Knot]

I still think Bader slid too early.
This seems to be a trend I've noticed lately.
You should be accelerating into the base on your slide ... or at least not decelerating so early.

[Cowtipper]

An emotional roller coaster.

[Edgy MD]

He indeed might have slid early, but he got it done.

Diaz really seems to be still searching for his better stuff, but he got it done and he got it done.

[metirish]

Very satisfying win

[Frayed Knot]

Chapman certainly has some legit beef on a couple of B/S calls.
But he also has himself to blame: too many pitches, inattentive to runners, walks,
and then coughing it up when the chips were all on the table.

[Centerfield]

Love the way this team has shown the ability to fight back. Fun!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

[Edgy MD]

Chapman gets himself a two-game suspension over his beefing with the umpire.

The funny thing is that, as bad as the ump was blowing it, he was blowing it both ways. It was a crazy sequence of pitches.

[Frayed Knot]

That seems harsh. He was upset about some B/S calls (rightfully so in some cases) and blew off some steam.
Unless he questioned the species of the ump's parentage (and even if he did) I find it odd to see this warranting a suspension.
