It would be kinda fun to light Ranger up with like 8 runs in 3 2/3's.

To sleep, perchance to dream...

[Edgy MD]

Ranger Suarez is a good pitcher.

But I would've never believed he was 7-0 / 1.50 kinda good.

Well, we're 12.5% of the way there in 27.3% of the innings.
So you're saying there's a chance

[Edgy MD]

Can we just declare Vientos our offensive MVP right now?

[ashie62]

What a glorious rainy mess

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Those conditions look brutal!

[ashie62]

Pete gets through the mud to third

[Cowtipper]

Today's word to describe the Mets will be "dreary." I repeat, "dreary."

[Frayed Knot]

Thought Pete's ball was going to go ... then I thought he get a single and be out at 2nd ... turned out he wound up on 3rd.

[MFS62]

whoever wrote "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" should re-think that title.

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't see if Pete changed his shirt after his first base dive on defense last inning.
Cuz if he did change he's going to have to do so again after this half.

[Edgy MD]

Realmuto doesn't look like Realmuto back there.

[Frayed Knot]

So he looks like Fakemuto?

[MFS62]

When I see someone in the Philly lineup named Rojas, I think of Cookie Rojas.

We fell a slim six runs short.

[Edgy MD]

Five-pitch innings are the enemy.

[Frayed Knot]

Lou Casey in the midst of his one bad inning which he has seemingly every game out.
And the Mets staff having their usual inning where we don't even make the opposition earn their way on.

And, of course, the offense has two runs despite 4 hits, 2 walks and two Philly errors.
Why? 1/6 w/RiSP of course.

[Frayed Knot]

Just put 'em on anyway you can.
The important part is that you hand them free baserunners.

[Frayed Knot]

Considering that a one run deficit is usually an insurmountable hill these days, these tack-on runs we're handing them are essentially meaningless.

[Cowtipper]

I disappear for a few and what do I come back to but a very dreary score.

[Fman99]

Ruh roh

[Fman99]

Ruh roh - didn't realize I was a full 3 innings behind. It was just 2-1 Mets and now all of a sudden it ain't. Dammit

[Frayed Knot]

It was only just a question of whether getting the first two runners on was going to be followed by GiDP then K or K then GIDP
