hello frends
>Matt Moore
let's go mamamoo
Based Wilmer driving up that pitch count
How'd the Mets score without a hit or a Giants error lads?
>>76770072
Grandy got walked then scored on a Bruce groundout
>Rene Rivera 2-run homer
Yeah, sure, cool
Since Bruce is almost definitely gonna get sold off, any ideas as to where?
sup
>Montero
Posey pls
For fucks sake why I know you want the hit and run to tie the game but just let the man hit
RIVERA!!!
>Travis D'arnervous
hm. i'm looking into juiced ball theory and the findings are consistent with what we're seeing. the balls are being made with augmented specifications to increase exit velocity and distance. fuck i thought this shit was a myth but someone got ahold of 2015 and 2016 balls and chopped into them and the 2017 balls are completely different. i thought it was roids and better tech in understanding physical mechanics of batting, looks like the balls are in fact juiced. sheeeeeeeit.

Good looks senpai
These threads aren't nearly as fun when the Mets are winning.
also found this vid on youtube called How It's Made - Baseballs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPuRoStEdw
this shit is as fun to watch as mr. rogers crayon factory.
>>76771773
Well then maybe the Giants shouldn't be so shit
>>76771454
Timmy knew about how they do it in Denver. Because Affeldt and/or Lopez knew and told him.

They're both having awful seasons, this series is like watching a kid with Down syndrome bullying a slightly smaller kid with Down syndrome.
>>76771792
How it's made is great, could watch that shit for hours
>>76771800
"fuckin' juiced ball bullshit"
wow. i always thought it was because of the elevation, that's why they keep balls in a humidor, right? but damn this is a lot of proof between all this shit. fuck, it's like +7 feet of distance on these new balls according to that chart. that's a hell of a lot of space that can make or break a game.
>come home
>turn on game
>winning 5-1 in a montero start
jesus fuck how bad ARE the giants?
>>76772158
i woke up to a 3-0 montero lead and was shocked myself.
>>76772158
Giants have no starting pitching, their bullpen has been one of the worst for like 2 years now and best of all, The Giants have not had a real bat since like 2012
>>76771454
>juiced ball
It was very evident after the MLB strike. Sosa and Mac's race to 61 brought people back into the ballparks.
lol bochy is a moron
whoa, even NY post references that study. http://nypost.com/2017/06/14/the-shocking-juiced-ball-evidence-behind-all-these-homers/
>>76772274
ya this is ridiculous. but then that means they can legit rig games. apparently the cores are different, oldschool balls have cork, the juiced balls have what's basically a high bounce ball that you'd get out of a quarter machine in them at the center, on top of the smaller circumference and different stitching material and height. i'm not a scientist but wow.
>>76772199
Why are you always awake at such weird times
>>76772428
i've worked night jobs for years, typical graveyard shifts, going to bed at 6 or 7 am. i just have a crazy sleeping schedule.
>>76772325
Forgot to tell you yesterday (DG told us this before) ...
There are A LOT of folks that filter trips AND don't go to the general to see notifications. Gamethreads with trips are filtered on the catalog.
So, remove you trip when making a gamethread.
>>76772546
i don't give a shit if i'm being honest
>>76772568
You're making a gamethread as a courtesy, to invite other fans NOT as a private blog.
You can put your trip on the body/comment as a signature.
>>76772643
i'm making a gamethread because i want to post about the game. if people don't like my gamethread or me, they don't have to post in it
>>76772688
I don't give a shit who makes the game thread as long as there is one, trip on bro
>>76772688
>fan of same team
>confirms worse than DG
k, forget 'bout it
>assdribble is batting above .500 since he asked to be traded
makes one think
BBRUCE!
lol remember when everyone hated bruce because he was garbage in 2016
>>76772901
Why can't you protect his smile?
>>76773114
because the Mets have the worst infield defense in the majors
the fuck was that about, assdribble. put on your shades.

oh thats funny i need to edit that
Why does Belt swing or check swing at every inside pitch
>I feel like Moses
MY BODY IS READY
Why does Gary keep saying "Chase" instead of "Chasen?" Is it just wishful thinking?
>>76773511
>Those shadows of the birds
