Jayden Sullivan
The two most disappeared fanbases on /mlb/
Isaiah Ross
Milone is awful, enjoy the win Vagiants
Adam Torres
>no Conforto today
Caleb Bailey
we don't need those buttfucking quitters anyway
Christian Gutierrez
>starting 4 guys batting under .200 Mets pls
Liam Hall
Hey, Grandy actually did something.
Tyler Lee
did.... did Curtis Granderson just get a hit??
Jason Ramirez
I've never seen a giants team this bad
Kayden Hall
>The Mets have put up Italian the first inning. what? oh. "a tally in"
Owen Harris
>baseball at 10am >team already loosing
Is it too early for whiskey?
Thomas Ward
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.
Benjamin Parker
>2020 being a gint
James Ward
pretty sad when the only thing not completely awful on your team is fucking busted pussy
Jordan White
I see what you mean
Austin Turner
He was made in a lab
He's going to murder the entire team in the clubhouse
Ryder Brown
10 am west coast baseball must be comfy
Connor Sullivan
>& the other guy
fucking rekt
Cooper Hill
I always thought Jacobs would be the next big thing
not to hear those west coast ingrates complain about it
Ian Clark
BRUCE!
Jackson Rivera
...
Jayden Anderson
BBRUCE
Andrew Sanchez
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
Jaxon Sullivan
>the opposing pitcher has 2 ABs after 4 innings >only given up 1 run
this nigga likes to play with fire
Lincoln Evans
why does the catcher sometimes gesture to the umpire at 3rd base?
clueless britfat here.
Lincoln Martinez
Getting a second opinion on whether the batter was able to check his swing
Kevin Cruz
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'
You guys know the catcher can't actually check with the base umpire, don't you? Only the home plate umpire can do that.
Samuel Reed
>shades of grandpa mets game
MALONE IS ELITE
Luke Moore
wtf i love tommy millone now
Grayson Robinson
>jints
Ryan Garcia
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
Carter Jones
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.
Oliver Sanchez
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).
Ryder Gray
>i rate the gints
Jaxon Evans
>Tommy Milone RBI single
Brandon Martinez
what? the ump ignores it like 10-25% of the time
Elijah Barnes
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
Jaxon Sanchez
Randy exposed for dome babby
Caleb Hill
are you spelling it like this on purpose?
Daniel Ward
>no single admission double header
those are the best. and its not like atlanta is going to sell out.
Charles Powell
Casual watcher here, what happened to the Giants?
Aaron Edwards
Father Time is undefeated
Jace Williams
...
Colton Rodriguez
Fuckin' Busted Pussy. Can't he just fall in line and suck like the rest of his team?
Blake Russell
Here comes the implosion.
Jaxson Clark
someone stop this
Colton Hughes
>Flowers
meh
Nolan Cruz
> no conforto in lineup
John Martinez
>tfw no double play
Jaxson Murphy
>double play ground ball >throw to home
Fucking Wilmer.
Josiah Perez
if we lose, I'm blaming it on this
Isaiah Young
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
Ian Baker
> tommy millone
this makes me nostalgic of when this team picked up shitty journeymen and only kept them for a year around 2009-2014.
Zachary Carter
Considering that was bases loaded and no one out, i'd say things turned out pretty well.
Cameron Sanchez
Thank you based Salas you Aztec god.
Camden Clark
Keith Hernandez was MAD about Christian Arroyo not even trying to score.
Daniel Reyes
>you now remember Alay Soler
this desu
Sebastian Anderson
You guys think Granderson will even get his average to the Mendoza-line this year?
Evan Walker
>you now remember he's making 15 million to bat .190
Him and Wright are literally stealing money and should retire immediately.
Landon Mitchell
>signed through 2017 definetaly his last year as a Met
James Mitchell
>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.
Adam Martinez
who taught flores how to hit righties? also, is cain actually good this year or what? he looked washed in 2016
Bentley Cox
Lol bunt
Jackson Thompson
>le gold glove bunt
Landon Williams
cain is just a little less of a shitshow than every other starter
Logan Lewis
>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.
Connor Scott
>not bring in Conforto v Righty with bases loaded
Isaiah Gutierrez
>that FUCKING bunt
Absolutely delicious
Sebastian Sanchez
come on Assdribble
Nolan Parker
Reyes is gonna pop up, isnt he
Eli Evans
Conforto gets a run in here. Fuck off, Terry.
Jeremiah Nelson
>Reyes to make the play well fellas
Jackson Taylor
>hunter pants
Blake Moore
>Reyes one more pitch and the inning is over
Joshua Adams
Paid umps
Ryan Collins
vintage April reyes right there
Evan Parker
Really Terry?
Robert Watson
after his implosion earlier in the year, robles has been pretty good
Jeremiah Cruz
There's no reason to play in London. There's just no reason for it.
Parker Foster
Jesus Christ Panik has looked horrible today >mfw
Benjamin Martin
>walker >walks
Logan Foster
>someone actually claimed Adam Wilk off waivers
KEK enjoy him Minnesota
Benjamin Cooper
no more 'Wilk Day' for me, wilk day > harvey day just end us already
Isaac Ross
We should relocate the Mets to Charlotte and only have a good team in New York, the Yankees.
Matthew Rivera
>yankees >good
Adam Gutierrez
t. no world series appearances this decade 2 > 27
Ethan Davis

Mason Hall
...it didnt go very well
Brayden Sanders

Luis Miller
it's a little known fact that between 2009 and 2014 the mets employed every single outfielder in major league baseball
Samuel Butler
I don't get the whole butt pat thing, it's pretty gay desu
