Wow. It should be 4-1 right now. 

[brooks_quichenick]

Boy this offense has completely shut down since that 2nd inning. Shocking

If we lose this game it's going to be difficult not to look back on Hiura's massive brainfart in the second inning. Should have been 3-0.

Hey, they've been the second-best scoring offense in baseball over the past few weeks. Lodolo is a good pitcher and we should have two more runs against him.

It’s a pretty typical performance against a pitcher with a pulse.

They hit the Yankees' pitchers around pretty good last weekend, including Cole. 

[Brewcrew82]

Let's do damage against the Reds' bullpen now.

Blind squirrels.

Blind squirrels. 

And the Mets' pitchers, too, other than Scherzer. 2nd highest scoring offense in baseball over the last few weeks. #8 on the season. But sure. 

[Brewcrew82]

Boxberger against the top of the Reds' order makes me nervous. 

[wibadgers23]

When is Counsell going to stop giving Boxberger high leverage innings? He has been awful in the 2nd half. 

[Brewcrew82]

ROBOTS

[Brewcrew82]

Pheww. I hope we show no interest in bringing Boxberger back this offseason. He's been great for us in general, but it just feels like he's starting his downslide. 

[yourout]

Probably going to have to get this to extra innings to win..

[NBBrewFan]

oh FRRRRAAAAPPPP!

 

Edit: It's always good to have a word to substitute for another 4 letter word that starts with F when children or grandchildren are around.

[yourout]

Thats probably going to do it.

[wiguy94]

Should be 3-2 if Hiura had a brain.

[wibadgers23]

Yeah that might be it for 2022 if the Padres and Phillies both hang on and win today. 

[treego14]

Knocked on our tush thanks to a straight pitch from Mr. Bush!

[BruisedCrew]

These deadline acquisitions sure have “anchored” the bullpen.

So, Mets pitchers other than the good one. They didn’t face deGrom or Bassitt.

Two years in a row. Stearns should never be allowed to acquire relievers at the deadline again.

[BruisedCrew]

Adames has had a tough series. A lot of really bad swings. 
 

Yelich has had an abysmal series.

Literally every Mets starter has been good this year. Definitely have a "pulse". Also, #2 offense in MLB over the last month or so, and #8 on the season. 

[NBBrewFan]

Well that's at best half a game down today and possibly a full game depending on if the Phillies hold on to their lead. 

I've had a bad feeling the Cards were bringing in the dagger to kill our season for about a week now...
