Mets defense really shit the bed in that inning. Cabrera should have had that DP.

You wanna be the Mets? If they don't homer, they cant score. It's like I'm watching the 70's Orioles

It'll get better. Duda has a .291 OBP. His career OBP is .343, and was steady around .350 the last three seasons. Grandy probably won't finish with a .290 OBP either, but 2015 may have been his last good year.

Losing d'Arnaud is a blow though, and the Mets bench is pretty underwhelming.

Yeah, he was turning it in his mind before he had his hand on the ball. We were sitting in the left field upper deck, and had a really good view of it.

platooning Grandy would be a good start.

Texeria gets how much to hit .225 and 11 rbis???

I know De Aza came here thinking he would get to play more frequently, at least in a platoon sitch w/Conforto, who is still not quite comfortable against lefties

They are also giving him some reps at 1B....I posted the article in the Mets forum yesterday.

Looks like it's the Two Jakes going tonight near Chinatown over at AT&T park, @moxie

Arrieta vs. Peavy

Just saw it...that's fine by me if he can field the position. I don't know that Eric Campbell is the best option for spelling Duda

I think he was going to be platooned with Lagares. Righty/Lefty.

Yeaaahhhh...that's what they said, but Lagares has been nothing but a late-inning replacement ever since he won that gold glove. He ain't platooning with NOBODY these days

Too bad it's going to be a match up between an MLB pitcher and a dude that can't even knock down the milk bottles to win the small prize at the carnival.


FUCKING PEAVY!!

You could also look at it as they're both overdue to go in different directions for a start or 2....although I wouldn't bet on it....but ya just never know.

One thing's for sure...that wind is gonna be wreaking havoc on everyone out there tonight...

Bwah...that's a new one to me! I'm guessing the "charity" he's selling it for is himself.

How many rolls did you buy?
