ROLLIN DOWN THE STREET
HEADING TO CITI
GONNA GO SEE JAY BRUCE!

The two most disappeared fanbases on /mlb/

Milone is awful, enjoy the win Vagiants

>no Conforto today

we don't need those buttfucking quitters anyway

>starting 4 guys batting under .200
Mets pls

Hey, Grandy actually did something.

did.... did Curtis Granderson just get a hit??

I've never seen a giants team this bad

>The Mets have put up Italian the first inning.
what? oh. "a tally in"

>baseball at 10am
>team already loosing

Is it too early for whiskey?

Anyone else weirded out by Christian Arroyo? He looks like aliens grew him in a vat. He has no distinguishing facial features, he's just a generic approximation of a human being. It's disconcerting to me.

>2020 being a gint

pretty sad when the only thing not completely awful on your team is fucking busted pussy

I see what you mean

He was made in a lab

He's going to murder the entire team in the clubhouse

10 am west coast baseball must be comfy

>& the other guy

fucking rekt

I always thought Jacobs would be the next big thing

youtube.com/watch?v=aORdmGtxoy8

not to hear those west coast ingrates complain about it

BRUCE!

...

BBRUCE

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

>the opposing pitcher has 2 ABs after 4 innings
>only given up 1 run

this nigga likes to play with fire

why does the catcher sometimes gesture to the umpire at 3rd base?

clueless britfat here.

Getting a second opinion on whether the batter was able to check his swing

he's asking for an appeal

>he'll point to either first or third base umpire
>those umpires can say if the batter swung
>if no umpire waves his arm like 'safe'
>if he swung umpire does the fist motion like 'out'

i see

can you do this on every pitch? or is it limited

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checked_swing
The check swing is so bs anyway. It's impossible to tell in real time where a guy stopped his swing.

You guys know the catcher can't actually check with the base umpire, don't you? Only the home plate umpire can do that.

>shades of grandpa mets game

MALONE IS ELITE

wtf i love tommy millone now

>jints

Only if the batter holds up his swing, and only if the pitch would have been a ball had the batter not swung at all

I've seen maybe once in 20 years of watching baseball where a home plate ump refused to check when the catcher asked. It's defacto up to the catcher if you want to check, it's rarely refused and just makes the ump look like a douche if he refuses.

The ump only does it when he can't tell from his angle (though it's not clear to me what reason there is to believe that a first or third base umpire would have a better view of it).

>i rate the gints

>Tommy Milone RBI single

what? the ump ignores it like 10-25% of the time

Just want the 5 innings from this Malone guy

Off day tomorrow, just use the bullpen.
No need to go deep with this guy.
Let him leave in line for the win

Randy exposed for dome babby

are you spelling it like this on purpose?

>no single admission double header

those are the best. and its not like atlanta is going to sell out.

Casual watcher here, what happened to the Giants?

Father Time is undefeated

...

Fuckin' Busted Pussy. Can't he just fall in line and suck like the rest of his team?

Here comes the implosion.

someone stop this

>Flowers

meh

> no conforto in lineup

>tfw no double play

>double play ground ball
>throw to home

Fucking Wilmer.

if we lose, I'm blaming it on this

Yeah Busted Posey ruined the sport, Arroyo has to spear the catcher like he's at a WWE event. Sport of pussies now, someone necromance Ty Cobb

> tommy millone

this makes me nostalgic of when this team picked up shitty journeymen and only kept them for a year around 2009-2014.

Considering that was bases loaded and no one out, i'd say things turned out pretty well.

Thank you based Salas you Aztec god.

Keith Hernandez was MAD about Christian Arroyo not even trying to score.

>you now remember Alay Soler

this desu

You guys think Granderson will even get his average to the Mendoza-line this year?

>you now remember he's making 15 million to bat .190

Him and Wright are literally stealing money and should retire immediately.

>signed through 2017
definetaly his last year as a Met

>implying I or any real Mets fan ever forgot

I doubt there is a single Mets fan who actually likes Curtis Granderson, the baseball player. Sure he's a decent dude, though.

who taught flores how to hit righties? also, is cain actually good this year or what? he looked washed in 2016

Lol bunt

>le gold glove bunt

cain is just a little less of a shitshow than every other starter

>is cain actually good this year
>ERA over 4.50
>WHIP of 1.50
>ERA+ of 89
>0.3 pitching WAR

'no'. At the very best he is painfully mediocre.

>not bring in Conforto v Righty with bases loaded

>that FUCKING bunt

Absolutely delicious

come on Assdribble

Reyes is gonna pop up, isnt he

Conforto gets a run in here. Fuck off, Terry.

>Reyes to make the play
well fellas

>hunter pants

>Reyes
one more pitch and the inning is over

Paid umps

vintage April reyes right there

Really Terry?

after his implosion earlier in the year, robles has been pretty good

There's no reason to play in London. There's just no reason for it.

Jesus Christ Panik has looked horrible today
>mfw

>walker
>walks

>someone actually claimed Adam Wilk off waivers

KEK enjoy him Minnesota

no more 'Wilk Day'
for me, wilk day > harvey day
just end us already

We should relocate the Mets to Charlotte and only have a good team in New York, the Yankees.

>yankees
>good

t. no world series appearances this decade
2 > 27

justin ruggiano WAS a met at some point right? i didn't just dream that?

...it didnt go very well

2 > 27

it's a little known fact that between 2009 and 2014 the mets employed every single outfielder in major league baseball

I don't get the whole butt pat thing, it's pretty gay desu

>he thinks slapass is gay

>slapass
>gay

pick one
