Maybe they should aim a bit higher than backup quality? Realmuto is only signed for one more season.

It’s pretty early to be that drunk on a Tuesday.

I'd probably hit em with this tweet after the game lol. Bad juju

Implying they won't re-sign him? I have a hard time believing that.

Are you being serious?

He threw the ball directly at harpers head from a foot away and then laughed about it. Why is that treated any differently than a pitcher doing it?

 

[DancingPanther]

Wonder when the last time a pitcher retired the side on 3 pitches while allowing a hit to the leadoff hitter

I think you might be the only one on the planet who believes that wasn't an accident

What are they 2-65 today with risp? Great recipe for heartbreak

[Danko]

what a boring game.

Regardless, I think they'd need to add a better than average backup. Don't know if there's much help in the upper minors aside from Marchan. Tait is one of their better prospects but he's several years away

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Stott & Bohm are just carrying these schlubs right now.

 

[DancingPanther]

Finally breaking through with risp. Keep it moving!

Bro, the Mets f***ing suck. Ask Ron about that fundemental baseball

I'd rather have Stubbs up there in this spot. At least he has a chance to lay a bunt down. No cap

I am once again here to tell you that automerge is the worst feature ever rolled out in the history of the internet

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We’re getting another banger.

 

[DancingPanther]

3 over the minimum is usually a good sign I'd say

Nice mini sweep

It’s noticeable when Kruk isn’t there. Kruk even elevates TMac imo.

He usually (sometimes multiple times a games) gives praise for a skill or attribute to a player who nobody around baseball actually believes is good at that skill or attribute.

 

[SnS]

Nola had it today or the Mets suck?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Not that Stubbs is great or anything but he’s gotten a bit shafted by the platoon split. Before today he saw as many LHPs as RHPs which is quite rare for a backup LH hitting catcher. It’s also hard to hit big league pitching if you don’t play consistently.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Gotta hope ya boi wins any type of drawing for the first time in his life lol

Prayers up for my dude.

I think full STH’s got to buy from the Hall of Fame Club and the CP Rankin Club today and that was it. So in theory their should be A LOT of seats available to the general public.

From what I can tell the HOF offering hasn't sold out yet but that could be wrong.

P.S. Topper says Harper's migraine wasn't due to the throw to the dome and he was available to pinch hit today. Says he and Realmuto will play tomorrow barring any unforeseen circumstances.

 

[Halladay]

Nola was fantastic, an easy boring game.

 

[trostol]

I really can't stand Ben or TMac

I need to re-watch that soon

Marchan hitting his first professional HR in the big leagues is one of the best random factoids.

The last 40 years wouldn’t have been so contentious if Bill James was only 95% utter prick. He just needed to be able to fake it for an hour here and there. Alas.
