Rockies pound the Cards, so time for Bart to take advantage and put the Mets up a game. Bruce out of the lineup, and who knows when he'll be back in it.
Sigh. No sooner do I compliment Collins, then this brings back all of the reasons I've thought Collins was a lousy manager for years.
Cespedes dogs it off the bat and ends up on second when Kemp drops the ball instead of on third. Lovely.
Yeah, getting the .189 hitting Plawecki up in the most important at bat of the game was definitely what we were hoping for, Terry. Him swinging at two balls way out of the strike zone couldn't be expected or anything.
Don't really understand how Bruce or Nimmo don't hit for Plawecki. That guy is such a hot steaming pile of shit
The last two innings was as big a c*ck tease as anything the Jets ever pulled and that's saying something. I swear between these two teams I wish I was a non-sports fan. Really this whole run was one whole tease. Go from life support to a 20-7 run with our starting pitching falling apart, only to melt down AGAIN against the FREAKING ATLANTA BRAVES!
It never ceases to amaze me how limited the timespan of dominance is for closers. They're never shut down for more than 2-3 years which makes Mariano Rivera so amazing. He may not have been that 99th percentile guy for a couple years, but he was always a consistent 95th+ percentile guy for 2 decades straight
