So many options right now. Taylor batting for himself. J.D. is tempting but they don't want a double-play.

I was hoping for one there.

I didn't dare dream we'd get two.

Wasn't there a long period there when the Mets were hesitatant to let Luis Torrens catch Diaz?

Apparently, nobody plays the ball off the wall in right field here.

Now listen carefully Edwin: if you don't allow a runner here then the tying run can't come to the plate.

Having said that, my hotel inexplicably does not carry the channel on which this game is being aired locally. I have to watch on my tablet despite this suite having two big televisions. So that's stupid. They are carrying FS1 which has the SD/PIT Game. In Denver. What the actual hell is that all about
Big hotel on the outskirts of town? Are you in the Gaylord Conference Center?
Nah we work at the airport all day so I'm at the Embassy Suites out there.

It was a good game and while it would have been fun to have attended and seen it play out live, I was definitely too tired. I watched the last three innings from bed.

As you drive back into the airport, look for the massive statue of a blue horse with red eyes. It literally killed the artist.

I'd be curious to learn how a statue of a horse came to life and killed an artist, but first, this...

Thanks. Tipping me off to the 8:40 time slot was a big help.

Catching up on some games. This was a high-quality performance with decent levels of excitement. Diaz's K rate is down dramatically this year, but, despite his on-paper fairly mediocre performance, his WHIP is still a very solid 1.091.

The Mets have the skill to be a playoff team, they just have to exhibit that skill CONSISTENTLY.
