I kinda feel lucky to see Durham out of the lineup. He's been murdering the ball recently.

Uh... fixed it...

Biggest game in the history of the franchise!

Well, while you were fixing it, I swapped Mookie and Brooks.

I must've gotten the wrong lineup from SportsPhone.

Fast forward 40 years.


1) F Lindor (S) SS
2) B Nimmo (L) LF
3) J Martinez (R) DH
4) P Alonso (R) 1B
5) F Alvarez (R) C
6) D Stewart (L) RF
7) M Vientos (R) 3B
8) J McNeil (L) 2B
9) H Bader (R) CF

Luis Severino RHP

1) N Hoerner (R) 2B
2) M Busch (L) 1B
3) C Bellinger (L) RF

9) M Amaya (R) C

Javier Assad RHP

I'm not sure what Jeff McNeil brings to the table anymore. I see him as a placeholder for Mauricio or Acuna

ESPN Announcers tonight

David Cone - amazing what big money TV will pay to some people who
bring absolutely nothing interesting to a broadcast,

Mets need to win a game against a wildcard hunting foe

I like Cone but I would take Gelbs here

Francisco giveth and taketh away

Bad read

Pete Crow-Armstrong throwing out Francisco Álvarez is wrong nine ways to Sunday.

Making the first out of the inning at third base is also deeply wrong.

That went into the crapper real quick

Three batters up, two of them get hits, ... inning over!

They are talking up Crow Armstrong as a defender, he doesn't hit much yet

Lord Counsell is butt ugly

Bader masters a double

Anudder leadoff dubble. Let's do it right this time.

Remember, if things are tight in late innings, we've got Danny Heep, Jerry Martin, Kelvin Chapman, and Rusty all available off the bench.

Francisco Lindor says we've got all we need in the lineup right here!

The printer is running out of purple toner!
