    yea he was terrible, but I did like him giving MM a strike two inches inside in the 9th as he owed us big after that first inning BS.

    Unless mt memory is totally failing me, they do grade umpires, there are just no consequences for being bad and they're forbidden from making the grades public.

    I sure am glad Acuna entered the HR derby. He used it for practice and getting his swing locked in.

    Man I hate we had to burn so many relief pitchers tonight. They are all available tomorrow but with DK pitching we might see several have to pitch again making the pen shorter on Thursday. Newk and Tomlin could be pivotal tomorrow

    I know it's only one game, but winning game 1 sets a tone. Nice to see a closer to normal 9th from a closer.

    McNeil will have an MRI on his hamstring. Potential disaster for the Mets.

    Ugh - Terrible news. McNeil is the kind of guy that you root for even on your most hated team.

    Imagine Chip narrating when MLB gives grades to Angel and Bucknor.

    MLB rep: Angel here is your graded strikezone. Might need to take a look.
    Angel: Shrugs and walks off.
    Chip: And Angel spits at that offering.

    He has a cannon for an arm.

    Acuna, aka the Venezuelan Trout, is one of the most dynamic 5 tool players I've had the pleasure to watch. Damn he's fun.

    Was watching last night and saw Frazier wasn't exactly hustling around the bag at 3rd, and told my wife he's toast. Then BAM! I thought he got in there at first.
