IGT 7/8 Wins come in threes Mets v Pirates 12:35 MLBN

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Well Carlos fucked this one up

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, plus the breaks are going badly, but Mendoza gambled on the margin of error he had.

[Lefty Specialist]

[Edgy MD]

Gary announced that the Mets were "looking for a soft spot for Orze's debut."

I don't define that term the same way that he does.

The bullpen is a mess. This is just another day

[metirish]

The arse has fallen out of this pen ,brutal

[Lefty Specialist]

Gary pleading for bullpen help. Preaching to the choir, reverend.

[Edgy MD]

The bullpen is a mess. This is just another day

I thought it was different from other days.

The only sameness I saw was lifting the starter too early.

[Edgy MD]

Gotta fix that dirt at home plate. Somebody is going to get hurt.

[Edgy MD]

A lot of infield tricklers and the Mets finally beat one out.

[Edgy MD]

That's not Newton's First Law, Gar.

[MFS62]

What a hot steaming pile of doggie-poo the game has turned into while I was away for a while.
Maybe Houser is one of those relievers who is better starting an inning than inheriting runners.

Later

[ashie62]

They will be home taking on the Nats tomorrow in a series they really need to win

The trade deadline is still something that hangs over their heads and could go either way

The bullpen needs a fix asap. Moving Baty for a serviceable arm would be my way to start anyway.

Win more games

[Edgy MD]

The trade deadline, of course, hangs over everybody's heads.

[Cowtipper]

On the bright side, I have Mitch Keller on my fantasy team.

[ashie62]

The trade deadline, of course, hangs over everybody's heads.

You're being ultra literal here, relax

[Edgy MD]

That post was neither particularly literal nor particularly unrelaxed.

[Lefty Specialist]

Feels like it's hanging over my head, too. Tracky sez the missus is looking to upgrade.

[Cowtipper]

If the Mets go for it this year, I have a hunch it's going to end up A LOT like 2021, when they brought on Baez and Hill and ended up going 77-85.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I can see that happening. I hope they find a way to upgrade the bullpen without giving up any top prospects. And maybe they can be better with more Iglesias and less McNeil. Who knows?

[Fman99]

I got borked by Hulu on this one. Watched innings 1-4 on DVR, in the 5-6 PM hour while getting some kitchen prep done. Had to leave to go watch my kids play a volleyball game at 7. Came home to cook a late dinner and I was not able to pick up my recording where I left off. I did see that SNY had a replay of the game starting at 8 PM, maybe this prevented my recording from working, but I already had watched those innings and I'm not staying up to 11 PM to watch a game that already happened.

Plus they lost so w/e

[Benjamin Grimm]

Cast your vote!

[Centerfield]

If the Mets go for it this year, I have a hunch it's going to end up A LOT like 2021, when they brought on Baez and Hill and ended up going 77-85.

September's schedule is pretty competitive too. I wonder if that will be a factor in their thinking.

I'm glad I'm not the one who has to make the call. But if I was, and things are the same as today, I think I'd be inclined to sell.

[Cowtipper]

This was hard to watch. Poor Orze.
