    Man, Wheeler has thrown seven shut-out innings with only 82 pitches. Granted it’s the Marlins, but still. Everything is going right for the Mets.

    Chip,"pitch count a little high for Folty"

    Define "little".

    61 pitches, 33 strikes thru 3 innings is more than a "little high". Leo's magic number would be 36 for 3 IP.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Eh I see both sides. Obviously it looks bad cause it didn’t work out but Ender’s one of our best runners and if he makes it a single scores 2.

    what's going on?? Braves are 2-2 w/RISP. Not complaining mind you, just surprising considering how bad they have been recently.

    I actually think he’ll drop him to sixth or seventh.

    Reverse regression?

    Didn't look like the third strike to JD ever had the plate but the umpire is only about 1200 miles closer to the play than I am...sigh.

    Disappointed Folty didn't strike out the side in the fifth. Seriously, he's dealing right now but, unfortunately, averaging 17 pitches per inning will limit his longevity in this game.

    6 strong is all we can realistically ask for, from anyone.
