Here we go. I hope that Shelty has a "lucky" lineup today. For Shelty "lucky" means "No Luck at All"

[Bobster]

They finished 2 innings in 20 minutes. Very fast pace.

Keven Young was praising Gonzales and Reynolds for running hard to 1B on a ground ball. It's a shame when a basic fundamental is so rare that it draws praise.

[Bobster]

Cruz HR! 2-0.

[Bobster]

Nimmo HR. 2-2.

[Bobster]

3-2 on infield hit by Tellez.

Let's talk about the Mets Manager pulling his starter with two outs and nobody on after only giving up one hit all day.

[Bobster]

5-2 after Gonzales double (takes 3B on bobble by RFer).

6-2 on WP.

7-2 on Palacios HR.

[Bobster]

Let's talk about the Mets Manager pulling his starter with two outs after only giving up one hit all day.

And replaced him with a guy making his MLB debut who didn't get anybody out.

[JollyRoger8]

Maybe Palacios will be that “internal option” that lights a spark for the offense

[Bobster]

Pirates have 7 runs on just 5 hits.
