Swarzak to DL, Robles up

5 scoreless innings from Harvey, hot-cha

that facebook live thing is a load of crock (i don’t use facebook + the game is blackedout on mlb.tv from Canada).

it's blacked out everywhere, fwiw

Conforto leading off vs Strasburg

Post-season odds are now in the low 60s %.

Wheeler spot-starts on Wed; the Golden Five!

Super enjoying this team so far. Lugo and Gsellman in the bullpen has been quite a weapon. Can't wait to see more of Rosario (despite the wild free swinging) & Nimmo.

the mets have traded (former pirate great) lee mazzilli's son to the yankees

9-1, an unprecedented start in franchise history

85 wins if they go .500 the rest of the season.

FREE NIMMO

Bruce was taking some 1B practice tonight. Tough to find time for 5 healthy outfielders who have all been very productive so far.

10-1, but on the scorpions side, d'Arnaud may need TJ

Mets 10, scorpions 1

really need to acquire another catcher, i think

keep your pants on fellas

Mets fans always do til a clinching orgy.

nido's probably as good/better than any of the random backup catchers they could painlessly acquire

unless you *really* want chris stewart or erik kratz, i mean. (i already know you want recker)

xp ew

as i was saying

https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/free-brandon-nimmo

This is the first time I find myself actively wishing there was a DH in the NL, just so Nimmo could bat more.

You know lots more about Nido than i do, mook, but i'm already thinking ahead to a backup to Nido.

welp . . . plawecki has a broken hand now, so yeah

oh Christ

as Casey said you need a catcher, or passed balls

also im trying to get a ticket for tonight and the fuckers won't let you do will-call with the discount thing

forgot abt Jose Lobaton

apparently they're bringing back johnny monell (for depth, one hopes)

8 strikeouts in a row for thor

is the mets record 10? i heard a broadcaster mention that he was "halfway to a seaver" when he hit 5 Ks

jeez, that rosario play to end the 5th. the mets are enchanted right now

Seaver has the MLB record w/10 straight I believe. Glad to see Nimmo has been freed for a day.

I thought somebody tied Seaver, but perhaps not.

That Albers pitch to Wilmer was "right down Broadway," as Keith would say.

...

not the last bullpen meltdown of the year

just need less than 20

Ah, I remember this feeling. As brutal as ever.

ooooh, the seaon is lost!

i think woulda signed up for 12-3 three weeks ago

Robles down, RHP Gerson Bautista up from Binghamton

Fangraphs now projects Mets for 86 wins, 3 behind Nats and enough for WC2.

THE TODDFATHER

that comeback was badly needed tonight, as much as one can be on 4/18
