Still in 1st place as of APR 30, but under .500

4-3 good guys

 

[1phlapdown]

Duff starting out the month on a wrong note w/gidp.

Mets making Bum work: 24 in the first.

Criminy 39 ks and 4 bb for Syndergaard

1st and 3rd 1 out for Belt...


Yes, with a ground out RBI.

HERK!!!!! on a 98mph fast ball

3-0

Give those 3 RBI to Boch. That was all the skipper!

 

[SFGRTB]

1st homer of the season let up by Thor. Great timing!

If Bochy doesn't send Posey there, that's an inning-ending DP and zero runs.

I know Boch sends guys a lot on 3-2, but it took some balls there with Thor, who is a massive strikeout pitcher, and Posey who would definitely get thrown out.

As it is, the Mets can only get 1 out, and the next batter goes yard.

 

[SFGRTB]

Looks like Pence picked up the energy on the team (what's new?). Craw made a pretty normal play by his standards.

I am watching the Mets feed...

They have a good crew.

They have a good crew.

Is Ron Darling still in the booth? I always liked his input.

He is. Not sure who the other guy is.

Darling has been very insightful.

 

[calsnowskier]

Now why can't the Padres put together a crew like this? I would actually watch more Padre games if they had a decent crew...

 

[SFGRTB]

90 pitches through 5 innings. Most of those came in the first couple innings.

 

[calsnowskier]

Well done, boys. This is the peskiness I was expecting from this lineup.

And Belt is showing the master-age of the zone that he demonstrated in the minors this last week or so.

 

[SFGRTB]

BBrandon BBelt has taken things to a whole new level.

 

[calsnowskier]

Pesky pesky pesky

 

[RamsFan88]

Have to be happy with how they bats have hit Degrom and Thor.

 

[SFGRTB]

That is easily the slowest move out of the stretch I have ever seen.

 

[1phlapdown]

Herk again!!!

 

[calsnowskier]

Now we just need Bum to eat a couple more innings. Cindy is almost Coors-East. We will need the bully intact...

 

[calsnowskier]

Now I am just hoping he gets out of this inning...
