The Mets own Doolittle, they have 10 ERs against him this year and he's only allowed 9 to the rest of MLB combined. Also how is their second best guy still Rodney? Yikes.Nats bullpen had been alright lately, that’s a killer.
How unlikely was that #Mets comeback in the 9th?
They were 0-187 in games they trailed by 3 runs or more in the 9th inning later since the last time they won a game like that – on Sept. 13, 2015!

You are spot on based on the replays I saw. Eaton appeared to simply give up on the ball but the likely answer is that he misread the ball off the bat.70% catch probability on the final hit for Eaton, who played it wrong and it went over his head. Good job giving up Giolito for that dude, Nats.
Why? What is so offensive about the "opener" to you?Both the Yankees and Blue Jays used openers today. This abomination is going to be a permanent fixture isn’t it?
I think we need a rule that says the starting pitcher cannot be removed until he pitches at least 3 innings. 60 pitches, or 3 runs, barring injury, which, if invoked, would necessitate a minimum 10 day IL stint
i'll take the overHouston in a squeaker over the Orioles, 20-1 in the top of the 7th.
That last HR was a bomb. 452 feet and an exit velo of 107.4 MPH.Reds rookie Aristides Aquino just came up a week or two ago, already has an amazing nickname (The Punisher!) and has 7 HRs in his first 27 ABs, including 3 in the first 4 innings tonight against the Cubs.
His HR on Thursday had an exit bell of 118.3 , equal hardest in majors all year tied with Alonso and Sanchez. Same game he threw castellanos out at 2nd with an 101mph throw.That last HR was a bomb. 452 feet and an exit velo of 107.4 MPH.
Wait until the Giants roll into Fenway next month. Talk about some interesting moments for this kid. Gonna be crazy.Mike Yaz just took Arrieta deep. Gotta admit, it got dusty for a moment
Harper just hit a walk-off grand slam straight to the moon in Philly.
Didn’t your car stealing friend take them all?The NL contenders bullpens all seem so so bad, ATL had to use Jerry Freaking Blevins to close last night, CHC gave up 6 runs in the 9th tonight while getting 1 out (Strop and then the just picked up Holland), etc, etc. Do any NL contenders have multiple reliable back-end guys?
Mets had 23 hits in that nine inning gameAnd now the Mets are trying to blow a 10-4 lead in the 9th. 1B, FC, Acuna HR, F5, Freeman HR, Donaldson HR, forcing Diaz into the game to close it out. 4 pitch walk and ball 1 before 3 straight sliders to end it.
