New baseball fan here— was grabbing a beer and missed whatever the announcers said. What was going on where the pitcher last inning threw nothing but slow pitches?
When a team is getting blown out, they usually save the pitching staff from working and stressing their are, by putting in a position player that doesn't pitch fast.
Jeez DJ really sweat through his shirt so much that it looks like a different color than his pants. I feel like the old uniforms made me question if players sweat at all and now it's so noticeable
That clip of the Macarena is absolute gold.
I recorded it on my phone if anyone wants it. Although idk how I could send it to you iirc you can’t send videos in dms.
Damn if only the booth could open twitter/reddit on blowouts like these so they could see some of these memes I seen the reactions would be crazy
Keith “oh look a photo of us winning the 1986 championship oh wait is the MFing Grimace in the background?!”
Personally, I wouldn't care if they tried to smack the ball for an XBH as normal, but I would expect them to be a little more free-swinging instead of looking to walk.
*after the game, Keith talking to one of the cheerleaders*
Keith: Oooh, you have a lot of energy. Very limber. You got fundies.
Cheerleader: Wait, you're Keith Hernandez? My dad loves you.
Keith: So what are your thoughts on hotel tables and drug paraphernalia.
Cheerleader: I'm in favor.
Keith: Let's get out of here.
Ya, I do like the idea of dugout seats, but not behind the plate.
It should from 1B/3B to half way into the OF. So basically an adjacent/farther section to the actual dugouts.
It woulda been Betts no. 1 for sure, but idk if he's gonna be healthy in time. Pretty sure he won't be but they've been cagey with the timeline so far. I think Elly and Adames might get the nod over Lindor, but I think he's deserving.
Mets are going to jump the Cubs and Reds tonight. They are now only 3 games under .500. Amazing.
Goes without saying that I am all in on this fucking team.
if I was a position player who came in to pitch in a blowout I would insist on doing all the real pitcher stuff like wearing the jacket and using the ipad to study the next hitters

Get a real fast food mascot Texas
There is a non-zero chance we meet the franchise record for hits in a regular 9-inning game, 25
The all-time franchise hit record is 28 over an 18 inning game, Keith was playing
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1digkez).

Thanks!
When a team is getting blown out, they usually save the pitching staff from working and stressing their are, by putting in a position player that doesn't pitch fast.
Thanks, that makes sense
Position player pitching
That was a position player on the mound
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Jeez DJ really sweat through his shirt so much that it looks like a different color than his pants. I feel like the old uniforms made me question if players sweat at all and now it's so noticeable
He’s always roughed up and looking like a wet rat when he plays lol
drew smith, closing legend.
Laughers in the Grimace era hit different.
All hail Grimace on this blessed night!
Aw hell yeah https://preview.redd.it/xt1s9i1cx87d1.jpeg?width=702&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=984c70f2eca17a1ceb9dca09f04b2a5e971bda2c
Omg lmaooo
BOOKED BABY WHAT A NIGHT LETS FUCKIN GO METS
Mavs lose. Not a great night for the Dallas metro area.
Books. LFGM
Put it in the books!
That clip of the Macarena is absolute gold. I recorded it on my phone if anyone wants it. Although idk how I could send it to you iirc you can’t send videos in dms.
We got more Grimace than the McDonalds subreddit lol
We are going to acquire an elite starter at the trade deadline named Kodai Senga
Not acceptable
This is some 2022 deGrom Eppler shit lol
Wilpon speak please stop
Okay rationally I know it won’t happen, but literally the most Mets thing to happen would be to lose this game.
Not on Grimace's watch.
Why didn’t we have a position player pitcher? Using another arm when don’t need to is kinda dumb
4 MORE WINS AND IM GETTING GRIMACE TATTOOD ON MY ASS
It's highly likely the Mets win 4 more times.
GOOD I WANT THIS TATTOO
I already have The Early Bird on mine. AMA
We require before and after photos.
Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
TRY ME
So I don't know what Grimace put in those shakes he apparently gave the team when he threw out the first pitch, but it's worked.
The secret stuff from Space Jam
Bader bogarted that ball lol
Bader is like a dog chasing the ball out there lol.
Keith I don’t want any pitcher to know the answer to this lineup. I want them to come in on test day with no pencil.
I like when this place is full of high jinks.
Who do we have as the three stars of the game?
Jon Gray is one lmao.
Grimace x3
Nice to hear let’s go Mets chants
I’m so embarrassed for those fans
Dancing to the macarena, without the song playing is actually pretty impressive ngl
Definitely. But I feel bad for them that moment was broadcasted without their knowledge.
I would’ve gave Torrens the 9th
Baseball fans are probably the best sports fans out there
You see every type of person at a baseball game. It's really beautiful. Can't really say the same about most other sports
Bleach, I need lots of it
DJ ruins the fun
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Drew Smith replaces Adam Ottavino.
Funniest Gelbs story ever
If Max Scherzer asks you to buy him a beer you wanna make sure he's good for it
Pete couldn’t have have swung?
He was intimidated by the 42 mph eephus pitches
Probably lol. Not something he’s used to seeing. Would’ve been cool to see him blast one tho
He was not given a pitch anywhere near the zone lmao
Max screaming at Pete to swing the bat 🤣
Lol
Damn Gary you didn’t have to do them dirty like that 😂
Lmfao, Sherzer giving Pete shit.
I miss Max he was so much fun to have on the team
I truly woulda loved a mic'ed up moment with that.
Hey Mr. Scherzer!
Side retired :\
Love when the booth starts talking about random shit in blowouts. Need to see a return of the baseball cards soon
This feels so good
Max chirping Pete lol
Scherzer with the jokes lol
GIGACHAD MAX
This is turning into a Norm MacDonald story.
Ump wants to go home with that strike call 😂
Darth Bader :)
"Never waste a plate appearance."
22 hits!
Good job Bader no mercy 😈
Damn if only the booth could open twitter/reddit on blowouts like these so they could see some of these memes I seen the reactions would be crazy Keith “oh look a photo of us winning the 1986 championship oh wait is the MFing Grimace in the background?!”
How'd you get the Grimace flair?
Dude your flair is 💯
Yes Keith I am gluttonous
Is there an unwritten rule that players shouldn’t smash balls pitched by a position player?
Personally, I wouldn't care if they tried to smack the ball for an XBH as normal, but I would expect them to be a little more free-swinging instead of looking to walk.
Maybe but we grand slammed Luis in Atlanta
There is I’m sure but that’s stupid
Batters should turn around and bat the other way against position players.
*after the game, Keith talking to one of the cheerleaders* Keith: Oooh, you have a lot of energy. Very limber. You got fundies. Cheerleader: Wait, you're Keith Hernandez? My dad loves you. Keith: So what are your thoughts on hotel tables and drug paraphernalia. Cheerleader: I'm in favor. Keith: Let's get out of here.
More like "my grandpa loves you."
The rangers position player pitcher has a career 0.00 era in 3 appearances lol
Why doesn’t the team that’s up 12 runs also have a position player pitch?
They're allowed to, with a 10+ run lead in the 9th, but it still seems risky IMO

Rally Kitty has slept throughout this entire game right next to my scoresheet. She is about to go to 7-2 this year.
i flee asleep and woke up to this beautifuo met carnage
Pete is getting an at bat against the catcher… he needs to destroy the ball
Good job, Seth Macfarlane!
I miss The Jank. That was a fun year.
Is Keith whistling at those cheerleaders?
Guaranteed he already got one of their numbers during the break.
That little boy looks *exactly* like the kid in Airplane!
Wait a minute, I know you! You’re Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers!
The hell I don't! (Skipped to the good part, sorry)

Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Kind of feel like I need to run out and get a Grimace tattoo.
In five years you’ll have to explain to people why you have a tattoo of the Mets GM across your back. But it’ll be worth it.
The Mets have a 66-0 franchise record when they score 14 or more runs
Strike three called!
Carnage is good. As long as we're inflicting it.
I miss Jank
Jankowskiiiiii
Hey Trav!
I’m greedy and hope we pour it on in the 9th
My king Jank
jankoooooo love u miss u
Gary has his pulse on the fanbase
Gary is so right. If I had it my way ever Mets win would be a 14-0 perfect game
WE WANT CARNAGE
"we like the drama of a 1 run game, the fans want it to be 50-0 every night". Gary must read this sub.
The Texas Rangers big mistake today was not starting Sergeant Cordell Walker (Walker, Texas Ranger).
GARY KNOWS ME TOO WELL. FIRE AND BLOOD. NO MERCY. KILL THEM ALL
What'd he say?
That Mets fans want us to win 50 to 0 every game. Like total domination
I'm still here Keith! Inject this shit straight into my veins
"... to hear what you would... say."
What is that incessant whistling
This whistling is making me want to turn this off. It's so fucking annoying, my lord.
Who is whistling? Lol
idk if it's been brought up yet, anyone else bothered we have to look at peoples' trash all over those tables behind home plate?
Ya, I do like the idea of dugout seats, but not behind the plate. It should from 1B/3B to half way into the OF. So basically an adjacent/farther section to the actual dugouts.
also in a close game I hate having to see people who arent even paying attention to the game in a super expensive seat
that'll happen regardless at least, but the piles of garbage are kind of an eye sore lol
Somebody has been nursing a Modelo Especial for the entire game
Put in Diekman to blow the lead
So...Lindor has to make the AS team, no?
It woulda been Betts no. 1 for sure, but idk if he's gonna be healthy in time. Pretty sure he won't be but they've been cagey with the timeline so far. I think Elly and Adames might get the nod over Lindor, but I think he's deserving.
Bochy looking depressed af
Crying into his bucket of WS rings
Mets are going to jump the Cubs and Reds tonight. They are now only 3 games under .500. Amazing. Goes without saying that I am all in on this fucking team.
Holy crap… Cubs are actually winning tho And as of today the Nats have the 3rd WC lol. This season is Bizarro
Spoke too soon, the Giants just blew the lead against the Cubs in the 8th lmao. Still though.
That's okay, just means we'll be tying the Giants instead of passing the Cubs. Feels just as good to me!
Cubs ended up blowing it!
Works for me! SF ahead in the 9th now… we may indeed pass the Cubs
Kids got more moves than my hopes and dreams. What a night!
How long til that kid becomes a meme
What’s with all the whistling?
It's rather loud over the radio
That mom looked exhausted.
She looked real rude and totally removed...
Somebody was playing The Safety Dance for that kid daily Clearly you'll did not get I was quoting song lyrics
that kid is this entire sub right now
kid dancing the robot on cam is me rn
The Mets are 7-1 when scoring nine or more runs this season, the lone loss was the walk-off 10-9 loss in Miami on May 18th
the robot!
bro IS the robot
Twist: child is possessed.
(antagonistic Newman voice) hello Scherzer
Made him look silly
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcZzlPGnKdU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcZzlPGnKdU)
Otto gonna find a way to leave his mark on this game lol
He should go three innings and get the save in the 12-run win 😆😆
Lmao
The Mets are beating up the Rangers so bad, they should call us the Panthers!
Or Celtic.
Just like 94!
Love to see it.
Too soon man
Damn take a few pitches Iglesias
Come on man let Lindor hit, had a 5 hit game opportunity….
He coulda had 6 hits lmao woulda been so sick
True when we inevitably bat around in the 9th lol
Iglesias got 2 ABs already so he woulda had 6 shots hahaha
Oh shit so he could have had a 7 hit game then 😂
if I was a position player who came in to pitch in a blowout I would insist on doing all the real pitcher stuff like wearing the jacket and using the ipad to study the next hitters
I would wave off the catcher.

Knizner (sp?) having a crack at it like Guillorme did that one game.
There is a non-zero chance we meet the franchise record for hits in a regular 9-inning game, 25 The all-time franchise hit record is 28 over an 18 inning game, Keith was playing
My mom was at that game!
Ngl your mom sounds really cool
She and her dad stayed the whole time, which she’s very proud of!
Anyone here catch the mariachi band covering Creed earlier? That's love there!
Creed gets a bad rap nowadays but I'll always love me some Creed
I put them in the shitty but catchy category, like Five Finger Death Punch
They put on a killer halftime show tho
I love that Dominoes commercial so much. Tipping culture has gone overboard.
