[ashie62]

A great opportunity for the Mets to a series against a team they should be able to complete with

You know Megill and you know Gore, McKenzie not Al

Jake Alu gets his first start in MLB today

26 years old and a late 2019 draft pick out of Boston College. Good for him

[kcmets]

Funk Jay Alu!

Let's not give up first inning runs. Then take it from there.

Rough crowd

I imagine there will be a ton of Mets fans in attendance.

[ashie62]

Mets are looking at a lot of pitches which was working for them in April

[ashie62]

Bags juiced zero runs

Gore did throw 37 pitches

I have been tuning in a little late, and I think this is the first time in a week I didn't tune in with the Mets already behind.

That said, I tuned in only one out into Washington's evening.

The Cab Calloway "Minnie The Moocher" call-and-response is kind of annoying, in an "evahbody clap yo hands" sense.

[Edgy MD]

Well, there's the run I was supposed to have missed. I guess the hole isn't my fault after all.

Don't fall apart Tylor

Oh geez, we can't lose to a team in cherry blossom jerseys.

[ashie62]

Those are horrible unis

[ashie62]

Oye, the new kid is hurting us

[Frayed Knot]

We've got a walk-a-thon in progress here from both sides.

[Frayed Knot]

Just for contrast, they're already thru 4 innings in Toronto where the Braves and Jays are scoreless.

[Edgy MD]

Gore vs. McNeil is #1-vs.-#1. I doubt I've ever seen that before. If I have I didn't note it.

Cue Hall & Oates.

[Edgy MD]

Tim Wallach's nickname was "Wally."

[ashie62]

Gore around 80 pitches

[MFS62]

I'm tired of hearing about Canha's quiet contributions that "don't show up in the box score". (The first of many: )

I'd prefer some loud contributions that do.
