Rays@ Mets 5/16 IGT

[ashie62]

The Rays look and play like an elite team

[ashie62]

Boo

Horrible team

[Edgy MD]

That's a terrible thing to write about the Rays.

Mets outscoring their opponents 1-0 over the last half inning.

[Edgy MD]

Well, 1-1 now.

[Frayed Knot]

27 of the 42 HRs the Mets have hit thus season have been solo shots, including 11 of the last 13

[Edgy MD]

There's a two-runner by Alonso.

Let's make a winner out of Josh Walker.

27/43 and 11/14 if you're scoring at home (or even if you're alone)

[Edgy MD]

You couldn't get a better or clearer shot than the replay officials had to overturn that call. It was down to the officials' interpretation of the rule.

[Frayed Knot]

Gelbs should go all rebel one of these times and say; if you want to bet on the Mets to come back on tonight's Point Bets odds ... then you're a fucking moron!!

I mean, sure he'd get fired, but it would be worth it.

[kcmets]

Might as well get rid of replay, it's not working...

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure why Álvarez positioned himself behind the plate instead of in front on that throw.

[Edgy MD]

Littell sure looked good for a guy getting the eighth inning of an 8–3 ballgame.

[kcmets]

EscoBOOM!!

[Edgy MD]

We had an Interweb outage so I didn't get to see the end. Pretty nettlesome to think that, ultimately the difference turned out to be Verlander's performeance.

[kcmets]

Braves are losing, so there's that.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves are losing, so there's that.

Except that there's also a good chance we'll be in fifth place by Wednesday night so the three teams between us and the Braves are an issue as well.

I'm punching out on these games more and more. It's no fun watching them suck eggs every night.

Yeah, watched a few innings last night, miserable team

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Another miserable night in the park with the Mets uncompetitive. We participated in the booing of Verlander, it didn't feel good, but that's part of the process.

There was an odd guy sitting in our row when we arrived. Older guy, white hair, big belly, skinny legs. As soon as we arrived he was like "Is this your seat?" and I was like this is our row, and he went to move a row down, though he could have remained in the seat he occupied (as it turned out). Anyway he's got a shopping stuff full of stuff, snacks and cookies, a hairbrush, and clothing and whatnot, and as he moves to the next row down, some of the contents pour out of the bag and he reaches over to gather them and somehow falls down, hits his head on the something and opens up a cut alongside his eye & blood is dripping out. I helped him up, gave him a bunch of napkins to stem the bleeding and went looking for an usher for real help but they don't exist on the Promenade level.

Turns out he was alright, spent the game talking to no one, and to us occasionally, about how they need to call up the kids immediately and damning Verlander for surrendering a home run on a 3-2 pitch. He left in the top of the ninth without saying goodbye.

Weird guys you meet at Mets games.

[metirish]

Wow , a story that encapsulates the Mets season so far

[Edgy MD]

☹️ ⚾️ ☹️

[kcmets]

Did any Krispy Kremes fall out of his shopping bag?

Bleeding at the ballpark, not good...

[ashie62]

Great story. It says much about 2023 Metdom

[Methead]

Baty has a nice swing though.
