Switch France and Correa?

Maybe. Lee and France manufactured a run Sunday. I like them together..

[Patzky]

27 pitch inning. Joe's got the arm warmed up anyway.

First walk of the year for Ryan  and the umpire  blinks

[RpR]

Four pitches to Julien and he chases the only ball for a K.

[Blyleven2011]

Alot of pitches in the first inning  for Ryan  , need to get them out with 15 pitches or less , if not 5 innings is going to be tough to complete  ...

[RpR]

Five pitches to Buxton and he watches strike 3 go bye.

Castro joins the K brigade.

[Patzky]

Holmes is in closer mode. How long?

[NYCTK]

Anyone with the choice should consider listening to the Mets booth. Provus just out there making up stuff as if Mark Reynolds $14 million dollar deal buying out his arb years was some huge contract? 

[Blyleven2011]

I do not want to hear about the cool temperatures  , it's a mental thing that these players have , if I move around in this temperature I break a sweat ...

Now it's got to be uncomfortable for a fan sitting  ...

[jkcarew]

MLB had the Twins at 52% to win based on the pitching matchup.

A bit flawed. How much better does our pitching ACTUALLY have to be than the opponent’s to overcome the chasm in hitting talent??

They have made the light weight advanced long-john for decades; if people are too ignorant to know they would make a day like this as comfortable as 78 in June, they live in the wrong state.

One run better 😂

[Patzky]

Wow can't hit it out if they can't hit it. Nice inning Joe.

I think it is different for every player actually. I could never get loose playing baseball in weather below 60 degrees but never suffered playing 9 innings in Florida in July. The players work hard to prepare but it probably does get in a few players' minds.

Yep , I think baseball players never learned or went to the boy scouts ...

Their motto is BE PREPARED  ....

Joe looked like an ace his last time out. Need a similar performance tonight.

He looks fantastic tonight.

It’s such a lame excuse and frequently used as a blanket response to why player X is struggling.

Agreed. 90% of them have spent their lives in Florida, SoCal, and Dominican Republic. And it’s not like trying to hit major league pitching (or pitching to major league hitters) is anything like layering up to go check your beaver traps.

[USAFChief]

3-1 cookie to Wallner...tapped to 1st.

That should be hit hard

 

[NYCTK]

Someone must have accidentally banged the trash can. Carlos was looking for the wrong pitch.

It’s cold in October and November too. So I guess we’re screwed if we make a run in the playoffs.

Missing the point…it’s the same for the opponents. It’s never a good excuse. I DO think it effects some guys.
