Wow. That's not the way you want to see the bases cleared.

[Frayed Knot]

Since the one good offensive outburst of the entire road tripe (the final game in Denver) the Mets have been out-scored 29-2

[Centerfield]

Yeah. I’m not watching tonight.

See you guys tomorrow.

I demand a recount.
How did this offense score two runs?

Later

[ashie62]

Maybe another team meeting is needed

The 1927 A's are crushing the Mets

Had enough, later

He said, "Road tripe."

[Frayed Knot]

Put another way: the Mets have scored two total runs in the last 29 innings and have given up at least three runs in a single inning six different times during that span.

[Edgy MD]

About seven more hits this inning, please.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like Vientos is finally the DH for the 2024 Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Boyle is getting it done, isn't he?

[Frayed Knot]

Mets had a chance at a three run inning there ... but they don't do those.

[Edgy MD]

Home-field Mets still engaged as heck defensively.

[Edgy MD]

I think Kingston Korn is going to be a homer of sportscaster.

[Fman99]

This game is sucking a big fat corn dog.

[Edgy MD]

Holes in our infield gloves is not a good thing to discover.

[Edgy MD]

OK, we deleted that four-run third.

Now to wipe out that three-run first.

[Edgy MD]

Boyle chased!!

[Edgy MD]

McNeil starting to chase that inside slider again.

[Frayed Knot]

Boyle chased!!

He had reached his boyling point.


So we finally got a couple runs, then have a couple runners on with three chances to get even closer ... and no one hits a fair ball for the rest of the inning.

[Edgy MD]

The interesting thing is that McNeil and Álvarez went down in their respective classic manner.

Almost like the A's are reading scouting reports.

[Frayed Knot]

And remember, all replay decisions will be made quickly.

[Edgy MD]

Clean slide. Let's play ball.

[Edgy MD]

I think we might have a busted nose.

[Frayed Knot]

It was also a clean slide ten minutes ago.

And even if there was a 5% chance of getting that flipped, is it a smart move? When the downside to not challenging is runner on 1st and two out and the downside to challenging is not having a challenge for the rest of the game, I'd argue it was borderline stupid.
That it took so long to adjudicate is beyond borderline stupid.

[Edgy MD]

If that nose isn't broke, it's because the brim of his hat broke some his momentum into the face plant. And the brim being driven into your forehead hurts like a mofo also. He was totally disoriented trying to get up.
