7/19 - Mets (Syndergaard) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 6:05 CDT ESPN (out-of-market), CSN-C, SNY

how the horsefeathers was that a strike? what is going on?

[Andy]

Awful. Montero is useless and horrific base running. This is like the Strasburg game so far.

At this point Montero only serves to reduce the mileage on Contreras and Ross until the playoffs. He's not playing in October.

[Andy]

how the [expletive] was that a strike? what is going on?

Pitcher at bat strike zone

[TruffleShuffle]

I don't totally mind Heyward going there, but once he's obviously going to end up in a run down, Russell just needs to get to third, because Heyward is screwed.

Not that it's Heyward's fault at all because Russell was an idiot, but if he just kept going into the tag Russell will reach 3rd. Jake probably strikes out anyway so it doesn't matter much but annoying.

[David]

tls needs to show them what's up for playing so shallow

[Bryants Disco Ball]

This is the pitch Tommy. Hit it hard.

[BigSlick]

This team despises runners in scoring position and no out

 

I say, with no facts or info in front of me, and based only on emotion

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh man, then he does that. Russell should have taken 3rd at least

 

At least?

I don't mind it at all, really. You might be able to sneak in a run, and if not and it turns out like it did, you should at least have first and third, instead of second and third. Not that big of a deal. Addi not getting to third is inexcusable, though.

[UMFan83]

Man 2 on 0 out in each of the first 2 innings and no runs scored

[David]

:(

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I have no problem with Bryant getting a run watched in here.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Crap.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hate the Mets

[Bryants Disco Ball]

:(

 

Wow. I must be a minute behind.

[Andy]

This successful high wire act is going to be real annoying if some Met sneaks one out later

[BigSlick]

So we've gotten like 15 men on base in the first two innings and no runs

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Well, probably should have scored a run but the dude is an elite pitcher and likely has done that plenty of times. Still sucks, though.

[TruffleShuffle]

So we've gotten like 15 men on base in the first two innings and no runs

 

Plus a hard-hit out to end the inning with the bases loaded.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I really couldn't be feeling any better, considering the men left on base issue. The only thing that matters tonight is Jake and he looks terrific.

[Schwarber Fan]

God mode Jake tonight. Someone hit a dong

[bcl412]

Jake is pitching like Jake. Score some damn runs.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I'm so happy. Don't make this feeling go away, Jake.

[TruffleShuffle]

27 pitches, 25 strikes.
