Not many games tonight. The eyes of the baseball world will be on Citi Field. I can’t help but think of FP when I see Mister Met. I guess it takes creepy to know creepy.

Bob at a road game?

Train ride.

Watching the Mets broadcast. They showed that Dickerson won the Gold Glove one year. 2019 I think.

Davie in Fairfax, I guess the weather in Queens "Weather: seems OK", since I grew up in Washington. The summer after I graduated high school, I worked for the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission helping to build a park way down around the Beltway, the almost new Beltway, near Fort Washington. We worked down along a little creek digging out saplings and brush, and all July the high temperature was never less than 90. Having spent a couple summers in the Bay Area, I now call this hot and humid weather "unspeakable". (Just looked at DC weather, which is 91...we are "only" at 88, so maybe that's "OK"?)

Gray has no command.

Why does Dickerson keep showing up in the lineup?

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #11 on:** July 27, 2023, 07:46:12 pm »

Darling notes that Gray’s right shoulder is opening up. A shame the Nats pitching coach could not see that. Fortunate to get out of that.

Cause he is a Gold Glover.

Did they actually call a sacrifice there? Looked that way. Didn't look like a bunt for a hit. Weird

Until I was 16, I spent a grand total of three days outside of Florida, and all but maybe 6 months of that was in South Florida (I was born about 2 miles east of the Nats spring training complex). 95°F feels normal to me. 75°F is winter weather.

Ed Kranepool at the game. He has a book out. Might have to buy that. Loved those Mets teams. I also might have to buy Eric Kratz new book. Backup catcher with a few teams.

This game is like watching a faucet drip.

Mets seem to like their players on the hefty side or very skinny.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2023, 08:31:07 pm »

I don't have a problem with the Call steal attempt. Need RISP before the top of the order. Great throw.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20 on:** July 27, 2023, 08:32:09 pm »

Golden glove Corey!

aBaltoNat · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2023, 08:32:38 pm »

Gold Glove Dickerson.

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #22 on:** July 27, 2023, 08:35:07 pm »

Yep. There is your gold glove. Get those GMs on the phone Rizzo.

Why wouldn't there be a sixth inning?

Keibert throws out a guy?
