Dong city.

Love seeing all these dongs.

Love seeing all these dongs.

I knew as soon as I bad mouthed Kris just a little he'd catch fire.

20 GAMES OVER .500

 

[Annyong]

71-51

Still 3 back from Pitt and 6.5 behind StL

Stupid sexy NL Central

 

[pantagrapher]

Soler has left oblique strain, and could miss a month. With La Stella's call up, Coghlan will see more playing time in RF

OOF

20 GAMES OVER .500

I don't know what to do with my hands.

Joc Pederson is a better hitter, and better looking.

update?

update?

Wow, pretty wrong on both accounts.

 

[pantagrapher]

I'm only monitoring the game cast, but what a ####### game.

 

[shady inc]

left lester in the game a batter too long IMO

KRIS

 

[Blind Tiger]

This is fun!

DONG!!!!

fantasy question: Coghlan going to be forced into playing against lefties now?

 

[Annyong]

fantasy question: Coghlan going to be forced into playing against lefties now?

Good question. I would imagine so.

fantasy question: Coghlan going to be forced into playing against lefties now?

Good question. I would imagine so.

I think Denorfia would play right, Castro at second (If Russell is healthy), I think Schwarber plays left full time now.

21. It's unreal.

 

[Annyong]

These kiddos are really sumthin. They don't know they aren't supposed to be winning like this.

Castro really doesn't hit anyone.

1 win away from last year's win total. not a bad turnaround

Kaplan was talking with Jed and he left open the possibility of Bryant to RF, and Baez coming up to play 3b.

That's odd. You would think it'd be less disruptive to just stick Coghlan in RF full-time and bring Baez up to play 2B/SS with Russell and Castro.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Can Schwarber play SS?

 

[pantagrapher]

Kaplan was talking with Jed and he left open the possibility of Bryant to RF, and Baez coming up to play 3b.

Lotta buzz today about Baez coming up soon. Probably with the roster expansion, since that would make the most sense.

The crazy thing would be: what if he comes up and hits? He's fresh from all his time out due to injury. He can play the field. If he hits, this team will be completely insane.

Lot of position player options. Wish they could bring up some pitching.

David Ross has 2 innings of no-hit ball under his belt this season with a 67% GB rate

I heard schwarber is 95-97 with break and has a 70-grade curveball.

 

[Wrigley]

BONERFACE!!!!!

 

[Blind Tiger]

Is Russell dinged up?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Schwarbanator.

 

[pantagrapher]

Is Russell dinged up?

Wife in labor.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Seems young to be procreating.

 

[Wrigley]

W/22

 

[pantagrapher]

This is bonkers.

 

[Annyong]

They've matched last seasons win total, and have won 21 of their last 25. Now 2.5 2 behind the Pirates.

 

[pantagrapher]

Len Kasper was on 670 yesterday and they talked about revamping playoff seeding. It really doesn't make sense that the Mets can kick their heels up in late September and then watch as one of the top 3 teams ahead of them gets eliminated.

 

[Grahamburn]

With all the hype and buildup I really tried to temper my expectations. I convinced myself all of these highly touted prospects couldn't be successful in some capacity. Crazy.

The scary thing, or super exciting thing, is Soler has really struggled at times, Russell started slowly, Schwarber has only been up for a few weeks, and Baez is still in Triple A. These players should all be together for multiple years.
