METS August 21…going for a series win with mighty Cole Irvin

[RavensNOsGuy]

Another one that should be an error but won’t be scored that way.

[O's84]

Another DP messed up by the Defense.

I feel like Mountcastle is always coming off the base.

Henderson showboating again, and he almost threw it over Mountcastle’s head. He had plenty of time to set his feet and throw carefully, but wanted to toss his golden locks and flourish his splendid arm…and almost threw the ball into the dugout.

This is a problem.

I don't know how he was showboating there.  

[Spakman]

Another easy play that Henderson tries to make look like a hard play. And basically gifts them a base runner.

I said a nice DP.. I didn't really see Henderson showboating per se.. it looked like he had to run a long way to step on 2nd and it made him rush the throw a bit. Or did I see that wrong??

[eddie83]

Be nice to see slow mo replay.

Sounds like he's having another bad day. Even the best of players have bad days, but sure would be nice to see him take care of the routine play more often.

He isn’t 7 feet tall.

you don’t? Make the routine play it doesn’t have to look spectacular.

[eddie83]

Appreciate you showing that again.

He also has allowed three earned runs and we know that he has totally sucked lately. You want him there, you can go to the Hyde school of bullpen management. 

I don't want Kimbrel pitching anything close to a tie game. He's a disaster waiting to happen every time he pitches.

This is very short sighted. Whether we like it or not, right now Kimbrel getting right makes this a better team. It’s not really that hard to figure that out given the poor options we have.

Kimbrel being pressed into some higher leverage situations is necessary.

I didn't think it looked spectacular.  I thought it looked pretty routine.

His momentum was carrying him toward 1st.  Runner slid early, went over him.

He was running hard when he caught that. I wonder if his momentum made that throw be a little high?
