I forgot to mention Voth is available.

Baker threw 6 pitches, he is probably fine too.

Baker being available isn't really a good thing. He's much more frustrating for me as a fan than Bautista is.

I would like to know whst the “strategy” was if any?  Did Bautista and Rutschman just somehow not know he was coming up?  What was the plan ?  Just challenge him? 

Adley had the target low, under the strike zone. Bautista missed it. Just a bad spot to make a mistake.

I wish there was better manager strategy, like walking Judge.  I know the Bautista wanted to show he can get Judge out and that he was not scared of him.  Judge gets paid $350 mil to beat you and Bautista wanted to prove he was not afraid of Judge, but it caused a heart wretching loss.

Walking Judge makes Rizzo (another guy on an absolute tear) the game-winning run with a single swing. Bautista struck out the side, he made one mistake to one of the best hitters of the last couple of years. He didn't miss it, it happens. 

Bautista had the yips for a couple outings but has since been pretty alright, it was our best vs their best, sometimes the other team wins that battle.

This is why I hate Yankees fans. They’re so spoiled that they can’t just be happy with a walk off win.

Mets fans are clearly the better fans from New York.

Kudos to the guy who broke up the fight for restraining himself when he was attacked by that insane women in the #48 jersey. There's a lot of people in the world who would have probably knocked her out for that.

I’ll be honest, this is something of a “house money” series so far as I’m concerned.  At the outset of the road trip, I would have been satisfied with 3-3, and we already can’t do worse than that.  The only thing running counter to that is that the Yankees also won their games last weekend, so they could tie us with a sweep.  That said, of course I’m greedy and want to win all three.  But are they “must win” games?  Not really.
 

This might just be the stupidest post I ever wrote.   I was physically ill when we blew that game last night, and was getting totally despondent when we were down 5-1 and i was staring at the possibility we could be swept by the Yankees.  What the hell was I thinking?

Huge, huge win tonight.  Biggest of the year IMO.  So far.

On the Yankee's broadcast, Michael Kay said at the start of the 7th inning, having Nestor Cortes pitching into the 7th was everything Aaron Boone had wished for. That aged well.

It was everything that the O's had wished for. Unfortunately John Sterling wasn't doing the radio tonight. He's actually not terrible other than the home run calls

Mike Elias during the game in the 5th inning and then again in the 7th.
