ROLLIN DOWN THE STREET
HEADING TO CITI
GONNA GO SEE JAY BRUCE!
The two most disappeared fanbases on /mlb/
Milone is awful, enjoy the win Vagiants
>no Conforto today
>>75820460
we don't need those buttfucking quitters anyway
>starting 4 guys batting under .200
Mets pls
Hey, Grandy actually did something.
did.... did Curtis Granderson just get a hit??
I've never seen a giants team this bad
>The Mets have put up Italian the first inning.
what? oh. "a tally in"
>baseball at 10am
>team already loosing
Is it too early for whiskey?
Anyone else weirded out by Christian Arroyo? He looks like aliens grew him in a vat. He has no distinguishing facial features, he's just a generic approximation of a human being. It's disconcerting to me.
>2020 being a gint
pretty sad when the only thing not completely awful on your team is fucking busted pussy
>>75820983
I see what you mean
>>75820983
He was made in a lab
>>75821006
He's going to murder the entire team in the clubhouse
10 am west coast baseball must be comfy
>& the other guy
fucking rekt
I always thought Jacobs would be the next big thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aORdmGtxoy8
>>75821032
not to hear those west coast ingrates complain about it
BRUCE!
BBRUCE
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
>the opposing pitcher has 2 ABs after 4 innings
>only given up 1 run
this nigga likes to play with fire
why does the catcher sometimes gesture to the umpire at 3rd base?
clueless britfat here.
>>75821606
Getting a second opinion on whether the batter was able to check his swing
>>75821606
he's asking for an appeal
>he'll point to either first or third base umpire
>those umpires can say if the batter swung
>if no umpire waves his arm like 'safe'
>if he swung umpire does the fist motion like 'out'
>>75821674
>>75821665
i see
can you do this on every pitch? or is it limited
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checked_swing
The check swing is so bs anyway. It's impossible to tell in real time where a guy stopped his swing.
>>75821665
>>75821674
You guys know the catcher can't actually check with the base umpire, don't you? Only the home plate umpire can do that.
>shades of grandpa mets game
MALONE IS ELITE
wtf i love tommy millone now
>jints
>>75821716
Only if the batter holds up his swing, and only if the pitch would have been a ball had the batter not swung at all
>>75821717
I've seen maybe once in 20 years of watching baseball where a home plate ump refused to check when the catcher asked. It's defacto up to the catcher if you want to check, it's rarely refused and just makes the ump look like a douche if he refuses.
>>75821716
The ump only does it when he can't tell from his angle (though it's not clear to me what reason there is to believe that a first or third base umpire would have a better view of it).
>i rate the gints
>Tommy Milone RBI single
>>75821797
what? the ump ignores it like 10-25% of the time
Just want the 5 innings from this Malone guy
Off day tomorrow, just use the bullpen.
No need to go deep with this guy.
Let him leave in line for the win
Randy exposed for dome babby
>>75821757
>>75821832
are you spelling it like this on purpose?
>no single admission double header
those are the best. and its not like atlanta is going to sell out.
Casual watcher here, what happened to the Giants?
>>75822084
Father Time is undefeated
>>75822084
Fuckin' Busted Pussy. Can't he just fall in line and suck like the rest of his team?
Here comes the implosion.
>>75822236
someone stop this
>Flowers
meh
> no conforto in lineup
>tfw no double play
>double play ground ball
>throw to home
Fucking Wilmer.
>>75822451
if we lose, I'm blaming it on this
Yeah Busted Posey ruined the sport, Arroyo has to spear the catcher like he's at a WWE event. Sport of pussies now, someone necromance Ty Cobb
> tommy millone
this makes me nostalgic of when this team picked up shitty journeymen and only kept them for a year around 2009-2014.
Considering that was bases loaded and no one out, i'd say things turned out pretty well.
Thank you based Salas you Aztec god.
Keith Hernandez was MAD about Christian Arroyo not even trying to score.
>>75822528
>you now remember Alay Soler
>>75822567
this desu
You guys think Granderson will even get his average to the Mendoza-line this year?
>>75822730
>you now remember he's making 15 million to bat .190
Him and Wright are literally stealing money and should retire immediately.
>>75822730
>signed through 2017
definetaly his last year as a Met
>>75822836
>implying I or any real Mets fan ever forgot
I doubt there is a single Mets fan who actually likes Curtis Granderson, the baseball player. Sure he's a decent dude, though.
who taught flores how to hit righties? also, is cain actually good this year or what? he looked washed in 2016
Lol bunt
>le gold glove bunt
>>75822836
cain is just a little less of a shitshow than every other starter
>>75822969
>is cain actually good this year
>ERA over 4.50
>WHIP of 1.50
>ERA+ of 89
>0.3 pitching WAR
'no'. At the very best he is painfully mediocre.
>not bring in Conforto v Righty with bases loaded
>that FUCKING bunt
Absolutely delicious
come on Assdribble
Reyes is gonna pop up, isnt he
Conforto gets a run in here. Fuck off, Terry.
>Reyes to make the play
well fellas
>hunter pants
>Reyes
one more pitch and the inning is over
Paid umps
vintage April reyes right there
Really Terry?
after his implosion earlier in the year, robles has been pretty good
There's no reason to play in London. There's just no reason for it.
Jesus Christ Panik has looked horrible today
>mfw
>walker
>walks
>someone actually claimed Adam Wilk off waivers
KEK enjoy him Minnesota
>>75824273
no more 'Wilk Day'
for me, wilk day > harvey day
just end us already
We should relocate the Mets to Charlotte and only have a good team in New York, the Yankees.
>>75824431
>yankees
>good
>>75824431
t. no world series appearances this decade
2 > 27
justin ruggiano WAS a met at some point right? i didn't just dream that?
>>75824460
...it didnt go very well
>>75824431
2 > 27
>>75824534
it's a little known fact that between 2009 and 2014 the mets employed every single outfielder in major league baseball
I don't get the whole butt pat thing, it's pretty gay desu
>>75824557
>he thinks slapass is gay
>>75824557
>slapass
>gay
pick one
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mlp_Gcc_5Q
who /goldstandard/ here
That's what Blevins looks like without his hat on?
>>75824555
>you now remember Colin Cowgill was our opening day centerfielder one year
>>75824729
>Key & Peele
>funny
>pick one
>>75824734
How much so you think he got paid for that commercial? I'd guess he got like 20k for the one day of filming
>>75824762
>you now remember kirk nieuwenhuis hitting 3 home runs to set a mets record
i also remember having to try and spell niuewenhuis
>>75824736
cute wife desu
>>75824820
jerry blevins bobblehead fucking WHEN
>dat catch
>>75824820
>be a multimillionaire
>take your pure blonde wife on the dirty grimy NYC subway
Why? He can afford Ubers. Rich people don't use the subway.
can't even be mad about that one
time to get confortable
>>75824861
dressed as Han Solo?
michael GODforto
Blown Familia save incoming.
>walgreens traded us blevins for matt den dekker
>>75824955
nationals is such a dumbass organization
>>75824881
its about the journey, not the destination
come on senpai
will Nunez hit into a DP?
Why can't familia just do things normal
>>75825147
he'll walk
then pence will gidp
Flowers pls
FLOOOORRRRRRESSSSSS
flores is such a shitty fielder
this isn't going well
Flores is so fucking bad in the field. Like holy shit. Duda in the OF bad.
can we just get ONE fucking SWEEP
>Mest
Fucking kek
>>75825195
based swing at everything outside man proving me wrong
Thank God Terry pitched him in a meaningless game yesterday
Good work, cocksuckers. Real good. Fuck off Flores and Familia.
Flores doing work to throw
>get home right on time for the 9th
>we tie the game
Feels good
>le throw the ball in the dirt man until there's a hitters count
>>75825385
familia induced a double play ball, not his fault. it's the mets fault for not having a real 3B
Fucking wife beating piece of shit. Can we just get rid of Familia
When will the Wilmer Flores experiment end?
I'm surprised there's not a 3 foot valley encircling home plate at this point
Familia is such a mental midget and Flores is a legitimate liability for a NL team with no place to play him. Prove me wrong.
>this fucking inning
That's what happens when you fucking get behind EVERY SINGLE BATTER
wew collins
Goodbye. It was fun for 8 1/3.
Fuck this shit.
Fuck you Terry you senile old fuck.
Hahaha I'm not even mad
>Finally throw a ball above the dirt
>right down the middle
Lmao fuck the Mets you don't see the Yankees doing this.
terry, flores, and familia can fuck off and die at this point. gg gints
Shut the fuck up, Terry-haters. He's not the one who shoehorns Wilmer onto the roster.
God forbid they just left Blevins in
>>75825553
Lmao Nipscribbles on suicide watch.
Uh friendo. You need to reconsider your statement, respectfully.
>>75825571
Terry used Familia last night when he didn't need to (it was 6-1)
Always one batter too late with Terry "worst manager alive yet somehow manages to hold onto a job" Collins and the spic known as Jeurys "professional choke artist that somehow passes as a major league closer" Familia. I really want them both to die painfully. They can take that pretend baseball player Flores with them.
>>75825604
Poor baby Familia can't pitch two games in a row? ;_;
>win first two games of series
>third game is a miserable loss
not sure how to feel about this trend
it could be worse
>>75825604
Also the night before
that guy is a perfect representation of the Mets
>>75825634
3 games (at least, counting just this series).
He pitched 2 night ago also.
4 series wins in a row with the slumping brewers next. Fuck yes.
>>75825604
What the hell is he thinking? Bring the head of Collins
Maybe the Mets can rally for once in the 9th inning
Our bullpen is trash and we don't even have a closer
You guys still have a chance
SHAKIRA SHAKIRA
>>75825730
but we're the mets
3rd base ump wants to go home
I still don't know what's a check swing and what isn't.
Is it determined by looking how much you rotated your shoulders or something?
HAHAH TIME FOR CESPEDES PINCH HI-- oh wait.
>>75825840
a swing is checked if it is pulled back before the bat is parallel to the front of home plate.
>>75825840
Check swing = when the batter stops, or tries to stop his swing
If the head of the bat crosses in front of the home plate (visible to the 1B / 3B umps) it's a strike.
6-5 now
Don't pull my heartstrings. It still hurts after yesterday
Could we win this one?
almost enough to make up for the fuck up
FLORES DIDNT RUN HARD OUT OF THE BOX REEEEEEEEEEE
BENCH HIS LAZY SPIC ASS
Dildo power activate
GG Gints
FUCK OFF FAMILIA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GG mets, we really needed this.
>mets win games 1 and 2
>mets get embarrassed in game 3
I'm getting tired of this
Thanks Flores
gg from a dodgers fan, watching these 2 dumpster fires go at it this week was pure kek
w-we finally won a game again
GG mets
gg mets. And thanks for the W.
See you next month.
