Love this overlay #metsally

A couple innings before, Ronnie saw a high fastball by Butto and said "He's just setting up the change up away with that pitch" and the next pitch Butto struck him out on a changeup tailing down and away. Darling is, by far, the best analyst in the game right now and it isn't even close.

Still need to get another SP, but this is a great move. Nimmo, Marte, Winker, Bader, Taylor is a nice OF group, and McNeil in there too with his versatility

Went to the game Saturday. I did not go to a game live last year and was really surprised at the impact of the pitch clock in person. We sat down, blinked and it was 0-0 after 3 innings in a flash.

It made everything else seem rushed and crammed in too. All the stupid media games and giveaways. I gotta say. I left with a bad taste in my mouth about the experience.

I don’t have a problem with all the deadline moves. I think they’re low risk with medium reward. We didn’t give up anyone significant and hopefully filled the gaps.

I do worry about the gap Senga created last week but with their place in the standings I’m okay not paying a kings ransom for some rental.

Agreed, there's value in being able to run out a major league team every night. Particularly in the bullpen where it's been rough.

Rotation has 4 locks with Severino, Quintana, Manaea, Blackburn. And hopefully you get something out of Peterson, Megill, Scott and someone steps up. Personally I'd like to see Peterson at AAA, Megill in the bullpen, Scott as the #5

Bullpen now has Diaz, Brazoban, Stanek, Maton, Butto as locks. And can hopefully just cycle through the guys not starting above and then Ottavino, Alex Young and the IL guys (Garrett, Nunez, SRF) once healthy

I'm not sure how much longer I can watch Megill and Peterson get pummelled the 3rd time through the order. They give you 4 decent innings and every friggin time the 3rd trip through they get torched. 5 IP, 5 H, 4 ER.

It was the traditional, annual "Camp Day" yesterday, day camps bring the kids out for an afternoon game. Image the counselors trying to explain to their campers who she is :eek: Either Uncle Steve is a huge pervert, or someone's going to get fired!

2 games out of the W/C. Again I reiterate to this thread”s PeteyBear fanboys……The next big hit in a clutch scenario will be his first. Hope he catches fire or isn’t an auto K over the last 40.

Can we talk about the run Manaea has been on the last month? And Peterson? 8-1 with a sub 3.00 ERA?

Tough to really pick at Stearns moves since coming here. Keeping some and getting others. Not giving up the farm for it. If we could only get over that hump and get a couple games cushion in the WC standings.

2019 Edwin Diaz is back. Those are 2 killer blown saves against the teams they're chasing

4 games out of the last lifeboat looking up at Atlanta, who can’t seem to lose.

Don't look now, but... Cubs.

You think your pen is bad? Pirates just scored 8, 5 and 10 vs Cubs and lost all three games by four or more runs.

Vientos is something else. It's great to see our farm system develop a legitimately great power hitter for the first time since Alonso.

Wasn't expecting us to be a serious world series contender this year. Just going to enjoy the ride as long as it goes on.
