Hundley - c
Hernandez - cf
Cain - sp

@calsnowskier , looks like you are getting your wish for more playing time for Tomlinson. Personally, I'd like a double here and there from him. But why no Nunez to the dl? This is the 3rd day in a row he hasn't played and 6th in the last week.

They have tend to want to salvage those 2 days from the injured player, meanwhile playing a player short.

I just don't get it. They haven't embraced the 10-day DL yet, me thinks.

Down 2-0 after one.

 

[calsnowskier]

The reports of Cain's revival have been greatly exaggerated.

 

[1phlapdown]

Back on top!!!

 

[calsnowskier]

Don't look now, but Panik is batting .275.

Almost respectable...

 

[Stokes1931]

Bases loaded and two outs, and GorKys with the FPOM.

And the inning before, he stole 2nd, and then made the last out of the inning trying to steal 3rd. Why?

He can follow Hill out the door.

Remember back in the day when our starting pitching was excellent, and we complained about the Bomko line (for Brett Tomko) being a 5.00 ERA?

Yup. Both are dead roster spots.

Slater plays center, so we don't need him anymore.

We still look at the Bomko line, it is just something we strive for instead...

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants score a run in the top of the inning.

Cainer gives up a homer to lead off the bottom of the inning, his 3rd in 4 innings pitched.

 

[Stokes1931]

Braves have scored in every inning except the 2nd

 

[calsnowskier]

Unfortunatly, Beede has not pitched well enough to earn the roster spot yet. If there is an injury, fine, but he can't push Cain out the door mid-season with the results he has had this year.

 

[calsnowskier]

The IR% of this bully is atrocious.

True that.

The Bully has Cained Cain tonight.

If/when Bum returns, I predict a phantom injury for Cain. His April was very good, but he has been dog meat since then.

April ERA 2.30

May ERA 6.40

June ERA 9.00

Bad, bad trend line.

 

[Stokes1931]

Morris has let 4/10 inherited runners score.

This team remains a complete and utter '62-Mets disaster.

 

[1phlapdown]

3 runs in, and still no outs, and SAXFULL!! Criminy.

 

[Stokes1931]

Morris so far: 0.0 IP, 3 hits
