good thing they pulled Tolle for this loser.

He’s been sharper than Tolle was today.  One solo homer doesn’t change that.

This L is on the hitters, or more accurately, on this Mets’ pitcher who has been really good.  Sometimes you have to tip your cap to the opponent.

No one on the bench to hit for a .150 hitting Eaton?  No lefty perhaps?

Just bec. another team has a .190 hitter doesn't make  our .190 hitter any better.

it IS better in the fact that we aren't paying him fortyf***ingmillion dollars a year for each of the next 7 years.

I know.  ghe whole game feels very lazy approach. resting on the recent success. 

Not a smart approach

He may prefer a change of scenery at this point.

I don’t think we would get much for him

Feels like they can’t wait for their little vacation

No, so we will keep him.

[vegasbob]

This still winnable game smells so much like April-May-June losing , no offense games. I am having flashbacks to last place nights

[moonslav59]

I hope this no offense day is just an outlier, but it looks scary.

9th inning magic?

How?  The only change is Eaton in for Yoshida. Otherwise  it’s pretty much same group that’s won the last 3 days.

Mets pitching has been outstanding today.  That has a way of making teams look sluggish. I seriously doubt Yoshida would have changed that.

[vegasbob]

The positive for today may be that Bello shows he can pitch in long relief, throwing strikes with lots of movement. 

He could help going forward or we could get some value for him

[moonslav59]

Romy time!

Durbin time!

[vegasbob]

A single here would be a great hit

[jad]

Oh for Gods sake DURAN AGAIN???
 

[FredLynn]

Should have pinch hit for this stiff

[vegasbob]

Duran getting lucky, but it all counts

[FredLynn]

I’ll take it says Duran 

[jad]

Ha ha!  Baseball.  Duran bloops a ht, and Yoshi drills one into a DP.

[FredLynn]

Bad luck for Yoshida. Hit it on the numbers 

[vegasbob]

Finally get Yoshi and he hits into a lightning DP .

Hit it anywhere left or right and it's a 2 run single.

But it isn't over yet

[illinoisredsox]

Baseball.  Duran gets a hit with an exit velocity that wouldn’t get you a ticket in a small town speed trap.  Masa rips one into a DP.

Beat me by a few seconds.

Chapman with a lot of breaking stuff lately.  Something up?

100 there for the K

[jad]

Just play Yoshi.  Enough of the Duran pampering.

Okay, 100 mph.  Never mind.

[illinoisredsox]

Extras is problematic.

First, the Sox suck at it, especially on the road.

Second, Masa’s the ghost runner.

Third, who the heck do you use in the bottom of the inning?

Forgot Whitlock is still available.
