[Lefty Specialist]

They must have heard us muttering about JD Martinez, as Marte is DH'ing.

[Edgy MD]

More notably perhaps, Lindor continues to not be shortstopping.

Marte is a career .375 / .444 / .438 // .882 in 18 career plate appearances vs. Ranger Suarez.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Maybe the Phils will be a little hungover from celebrating last night.

[MFS62]

That guy Bohm thinks he's Mike f'n Schmidt when he sees a Mets uniform.
Later

[ashie62]

What's up with Lindor?

Have we been misinformed,?

Yes, big butt game

[Fman99]

What's up with Lindor?

Have we been misinformed,?

Yes, big butt game

I am hearing now that Lindor has essentially been ruled out for today and tomorrow and that there's hope that he can take the field Tuesday in Atlanta.

[Fman99]

Well that's an unfortunate first at bat of the game

[metirish]

Inauspicious start to say the least

[Edgy MD]

Well, the big lummox was going to get his sooner or later.

May payback be swift and unsettling.

[Edgy MD]

I'm going to invite José Iglesias to my home this autumn.

Because he likes to rake.

[Edgy MD]

I'm going to invite Iglesias to go dancing next weekend.

Because he likes to boogie.

[metirish]

Alvarez and Acuna hit homers , Mets up 2 to 1

[metirish]

Games can change fast , OMG with a hit

[Frayed Knot]

Difference between 21st century baseball vs 20th century ... 1900s pitchers didn't see #8 & #9 hitters who could do that!

[Bob Alpacadaca]

This Acuna kid seems pretty good.

[Frayed Knot]

However this inning (3rd) ends up, it's going to take Suarez 60+ pitches just to get through it.

[Edgy MD]

World War II guy gets VotG.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Difference between 21st century baseball vs 20th century ... 1900s pitchers didn't see #8 & #9 hitters who could do that!

Confession: I don’t hate the DH and all that it brings as much as I thought.

[Edgy MD]

Holy crap! Matt Harvey is in the house, and he's wearing a Mets jersey.

[ashie62]

Acuna is playing somewhere almost everyday from here on, he just is

[Edgy MD]

It's a very homerunny afternoon.
