Must beat the lesser of the two Evil Empires

[IdahoBert]

Manaea had some decent seasons early on in his career until injuries, I suppose, intervened. 

[IdahoBert]

Game begins ominously with two walks and a stolen base then a well received 5–3 DP

Charlie gives up a double Met score two

[holygoat]

This is about to get ugly.

[1776]

Yes, I have serious concerns about this rotation at this point of the season. 

[holygoat]

Wow, Morton gets out of another jam by K-ing Soto, but his pitch count took a beating.

Torkelson MIA recently. Too many pop-ups and GBs to 3rd. Maybe a little pull happy.

Is the site doing the whole sluggish thing again? Or people busy with their BBQ preparations?

Asking because no Wenceel reactions.

I saw the Mets play the Tigers at Tiger Stadium on a midweek afternoon.  I can tell you the exact date, it was July 2, 1997.   I can't remember the score, I think we won 9-6, but I do remember 3 very specific things about that day

 

1 - The orange outline on the numbers on the Mets uniforms were really sharp.  I was sitting right by their on-deck circle.

 

2 - Melvin Nieves hit a Home Run into the CF upper deck bleachers that day.   I had never seen that before.  I and it was a line drive, too.   I think the humidity may have helped...........and speaking of humidity, 

 

3 - All hell broke loose that day.   During the game, the hair on your arm would stand up because the air was supercharged.  It was slowly darkening all afternoon.  As I drove home, I saw a line of very dark skies heading to the east.  I lived in Dearborn (still do), and its a 15 minute drive.  Just as I got home the sky started getting greenish.   That OH **** greenish thing that's very very bad.  I turned on the news and saw all the weather warnings.   Then the sky got really green and black and it was one of only two times I have gone to my basement because of weather.    They showed  a shot from Tiger Stadium where it looked like night and the rain was sideways.  A tornado had touched down about 2 miles north of there and it skipped through Highland Park, Hamtramck, and Grosse Pointe some people were killed.

I raised my fist in real life.

[Motor City Sonics]

Okay, 1 out.    Bases still loaded. 

 

Inning-ending Double Play time, right?

[Motor City Sonics]

Chase Lee.  In Toledo yesterday, coming into the 5th inning today.  No doubt.   Morton is not coming out for another inning, even if he does get that DP. 

[IdahoBert]

I stopped watching the game for a while because I wanted to watch my favorite Twilight Zone episode because it was more hopeful. 

[holygoat]

No matter what happens, this is Morton's last batter.

[holygoat]

And that'll do it. Game over.

you mean hopeful like the one where Burgess Meredith gets all the books to himself because everyone else is disappeared but then breaks his glasses? That's certainly more hopeful than this game right now.
