Put it in the books

[Edgy MD]

Just brilliant!

[metirish]

Yeeeeees Lindor

[Edgy MD]

Francisco Lindor making a really solid bid to wrap up May's Bench Player of the Month early.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, good, the guy has the flu, so let's soak him in ice water.

[ashie62]

What a game!

Mets win!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Oh, good, the guy has the flu, so let's soak him in ice water.

You beat me to it!

[ashie62]

It's 80 out, but still

[Centerfield]

The flu-like symptoms game.

[metirish]

Best win of the season so far ?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Maybe. Big win anyway. Losing 3 of 4 at home to the Cubs would have put me in a bad mood for a week or two

[Edgy MD]

Oh, good, the guy has the flu, so let's soak him in ice water.

You beat me to it!

This is the real way to congratulate a guy on a walkoff.

[Frayed Knot]

Just finished watching (well, at least part of it*) and that game was ... something?


* So I'm watching via delay when suddenly (around top 4) my stream loses a connection and before reappearing a few minutes later ... in the 7th inning!!!!
I went from down 1-0 to a 5-5 tie and missed everything in between. I backed up about 20 minutes, enough to see the Mets make it 5-5 from 4-5 but
didn't want to see the three innings I missed having already known the result (watching them go down 4-0 would have REALLY put me in a bad mood).
So I essentially just saw from the 8th inning on although that turned out to take well over an hour.
I have to now go back and reconstruct the nine runs that I missed.
That's never happened to me before on the stream but I know the fault wasn't at my end.

Great win though:
- Marte with two great throws
- Baty - multiple nice defensive plays
- Narvaez - two great tags
- Lindor - four RBIs in a game he didn't start
- Nimmo tying hit
- Bader winning run
- Diaz two innings
... and that's just the parts I saw
We're gonna need a big delivery from the folks at Schaefer

[Centerfield]

Load is a little lighter when you don’t need beer for the starting pitcher.

[G-Fafif]

[Edgy MD]

Lindor seemed to be distributing Schaefer points in his post-game comments, and he managed to save a few for Haouser.

[The Hot Corner]

Very good win for the team. The Bullpen continues to carry a heavy workload. Lindor rewarding the Mets faithful after his horrendous start. Tough series for runners trying to score on throws from the outfield. At least today, the good guys won.

[Fman99]

I also completely ignored this game and watched it during/after dinner. Quite enjoyable. Solid win
