Royals bullshit is pretty great if you have no investment in this series whatsoever. Need some met dingers, though.

If the Mets want to stop giving up hits, they should stop throwing the ball down the middle.

our pitchers are incredibly good but the royals are literally perfect at this point, in addition to a lot of help from this ump

it's absurd

The royals have a special talent that no one else in baseball has.


They can aim, apparently.

Bad, very bad!
I get that he's probably just making sure the hitter isn't looking back while he's calling the pitch but d'Arnaud staring down the batter like he's willing him to die kind of cracks me up.

Usually all the balls that get squibbed on broken bats or blooped don't fall for hits four times in a row

As in he is really good and tonight he's a little off with some poor defense behind him. Also the Royals having some insane BABIP bullshit.

Because I'm wondering if this guy throwing in the dirt and running into his first-basemen without communication is any better than this and these are flukes, or if I should just go a head and call it a night because he's going to let a bunch of small ball happen.

The throw too first was the shortstops fault that pulled the 1b into Syndergaard.

Much like cueto had a very bad game a couple weeks ago and is still a good pitcher. Also don't forget Ventura has been pretty volatile lately and we're only in the second inning
