This is a relatively pathetic offensive performance.

Thank you Judge. I wanted to go to sleep.

Dear Lord. He hit it 119mph off a loving changeup?!?! Some stat nerd has to have a list of the greatest disparities between pitch speed and exit velocity. That has to be near the top.

Boston won the division last year because they played better against the bad teams in the division... Thats what I was getting at.

It's really amazing how good this team has been with Bird out for so much time, Stanton still not hitting like himself, Sanchez flailing around at the baseball, Didi not having a hit in 9 months and Gardner only recently starting hitting.

I love this team and they are going to be scary if they all pull it together.

No but I will say they should probably win the Division. Losing a 110 win season in a 1 game playoff would be less than ideal. Or playing another game 7 on the road...

Ross is a guy who had 2 good years in probably the best pitchers park in the majors in the NL, went to Texas as a FA and was so terrible that he got released and then went back to SD and is having a decent year this year. That's the guy we're going to bring to our bandbox in a pennant race? That would be an utter disaster.

I got his injury years messed up, but I think I might be willing to take the risk because his stuff looks way better this year than it did in Texas.

Did Tanaka get injured after scoring on the sac fly? I had to leave and pick up my wife from work. If so, gently caress the NL.

I gave up on being a Mets fan a few weeks ago. The team is just not interested in at least trying to put together a contending team. Callaway and Roessler should be fired.

Maybe I'll revisit it when Alderson's gone and the Wilpons finally sell. When the team succeeds it seems to be in spite of the front office and ownership.

It's not the manager's fault that Cespedes is disinterested in playing and the rest of their lineup is horrifically bad... Or that their farm system is so shallow that they have no one else to bring up to replace players that are clearly done.
