This team is pretty much FINNISH

Well that was fun. It's been a struggle lately but the team keeps fighting through it.
Thank Goodness we are in second place now.

Add the sleeping sissies who miss the excitement. Damnit.

Swanson is a fundamentally sound baseball player who just has to make a few adjustments at the plate to really blossom. He is well schooled. As soon as he made the stop, he was up and throwing home.

Need a win today. Having the lead at 3.5/4.5 after this week would be huge considering the competition both teams have faced
Great game guys! I knew we could do it!
Let us not forget ender had a huge hit, Swanson cut down tying run and somewhere Blair and Miller having a beer laughing at Dave Stewart.

What the hell, Mets? degrom was supposed to go today
Bumping him back a day means he will miss Philadelphia again next week. He is, of course, in line to pitch against Atlanta in the last week of the year.
Planned to scratch him if inclement weather was too much of a problem. Didn't want to have a rain shortened start and didn't want to risk their elite starter getting injured.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Phil's luck out again. That team is going to have to add serious talent in the off-season just to offset the regression they'll face
Thanks OP for proper GDT formatting. That was the difference maker in last night's game and probably the contributing reason as to why we won.

Shameful behavior by the crowd in Flushing yesterday though.

what did you think of the chair umpire
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
OP has got to be in the running for MVP this year, right?
The first warning, could have been a soft warning. But thankfully Pam Shriver interviewed Serena's coach immediately after it happened and he admitted it was coaching. And not coincidentally the next few points Serena did exactly what he was motioning her to do (go to the net more).
The second violation was clear. There's no leeway for a soft warning when you clearly smash and abuse the racquet.
The third violation could have gone either way. Serena was already on thin ice with two warnings, but she kept going on and on. I think where the umpire drew the line was when she called him a thief. That's where you question the integrity and motives of the umpire. It's one thing to rant (and tennis umpires probably take more verbal abuse than any other referees in any pro sport) to the umpire, it's another to accuse the umpire of basically having an agenda.
Serena's behavior was shameful, and even more shameful was the crowd boo'ing Osaka and making her cry for no reason. This is a microcosm of why the US Open has fallen in prestige to the worst slam out of the 4. Because of how the event has been run. It's a metaphor for American greed.
