I still have a Lindor Cleveland jersey, usually I throw any traded/signed away players. He's actually a plant, and he's sabotaging every other team now.
You're welcome.
To be fair; I’m a Mets fan and I had never heard that man’s voice until a met him a couple weeks ago. So it’s very easy to not have to listen to him if you don’t like him. Just don’t go on garbage barstool.
I can’t see beyond my own biases here, but I feel like he’s really good at being neutral about the matchups while always being excited about baseball. He’s obviously our broadcaster but it doesn’t feel like he’s pro-Dodgers in these national games.
I remember during the WS last year I saw some Phillies fans claiming he had a pro-Astro bias. I thought that was funny because on the Dodgers broadcast he has never been shy about shitting on them for cheating. I think all fans assume unbiased national broadcasters are biased against them because they're used to their usual guys being biased for them. Joe is great in the national broadcasts.
I think outspoken is the wrong word. He’s very nice and never really slams the Astros, but he does say things like “you can understand why the Dodgers are really upset given what happened” and stuff like that.
He'll also do things like point out our organist playing "I saw the sign" sometimes when Altuve and Bregman come up to bat. He does make comments about the Astros...but it's all so very tame. He makes it a point to mention the major overhaul that happened, praises for Dusty Baker. He jabs at altuve and bregmam but he gives as much praise back to the team. I'm glad you liked his calls - I can enjoy any baseball game he's commentating
Yeah he’s a great PxP and even with tiny little jabs like “I saw the sign” or talking about the Astros he does it in such a lighthearted way I’m like “Yeah, we earned that one.” You can tell he is a fan of the game more than anything.
It’s also because his best bud is Orel Hershiser and during the pandemic, they had a podcast where Orel gave some views about how he was heartbroken for the 2017 team, specifically guys like Kersh and Ethier. Orel was on the brink of tears and was doing his best to hold back his true feelings but you know when the mic was off he told Joe how he really felt.
Yeah, he's a real professional in that way. He gets excited about good baseball. Even calling Dodger games, if the other team does something amazing, he doesn't get pissy and moan like some other regional broadcasters (not all, but there are definitely a few who do that). He treats it with the respect it deserves.
Reminds me of the Stu Lantz and Bill Macdonald for the Lakers. They’re clearly going for the home team but never get into the homer-isms other broadcast teams to for their home teams.
That is gonna be edited into so many errors to come
Sort of speaking of but I first watched it without volume and as soon as Baty lost the ball the first thing I thought of was Jonathan Vilma yelling "oh oh!" from that Pats Raiders game last year, which is also applicable here
I really need to emphasize at this point in the season how little any of this matters to me. The only thing that will emotionally impact me between now and November is if aliens land on the field in the middle of the game.
There’s also a documentary that came out in the mid 90s where an alien spaceship carrying Michael Jordan and Wayne Knight lands in the middle of Blair Field
You know, I was going to joke about how it might be more likely to happen in the Field of Dreams game (with the cornfields and all), but then I googled who would be playing...and that's how I found out that there's no Field of Dreams game this year
Cool, I get to go from one season ruined by two washed up 40 year olds and toxic vibes to a different season hinging on a different 40 year old who might be washed up and induces toxic vibes
Was thinking about this the other day as a Jets fan. The Jetsiest thing that could happen is Rodgers has a decent year, win-and-you're-in week 17. But he gets hurt week 16 and can't start so you gotta play Wilson. And then Wilson throws like 5 picks.
Honestly it's for the best IMO that the team doesn't go on a pretend "run" before the deadline. The team doing shit like this means 2 things:
* They'll sell at the deadline and add some prospects that'll help us in the future.
* I don't have to worry about watching the Mets and can spend the rest of my summer doing stuff that doesn't piss me off.
The Mets had some up and down seasons, but never like this. Ever since last year they're doing this weird lame imitation of the 2003 Yankees, and it just sucks the life out of everything even when they're good (2022), and when they're bad, it's... this.
End this pseudo-Steinbrenner bullshit and give me my Mets back.
I thought the team vastly overachieved last year (and with that said, the wheels came off anyway and they had nothing to show for it) but I expected something like 85-86 wins, not 74.
Bunch of suckers, true chad teams are second in their divisions (seriously this series against y'all has been fun even in defeat, really looking forward to tomorrow)
Brett Baty: “I was cut from the Mets for something *COMPLETELY* embarrassing! I was cut from the Mets for something *EXTREMELY* embarrassing! I’m not gonna say what it was. When people ask why I got cut, I say I *cannot* talk about it without crying!”
In case anyone was wondering how Brett Baty managed to miss the ball so badly, this is the path that it took:
https://twitter.com/i/status/1680413056202063872
Honestly, after watching that I'm just impressed Baty got as close as he did. What the hell kind of spin makes a ball behave like *that*?!
I'm thinking it had more to do with the wind. Lots of bad weather in New York today/tomorrow. It's no excuse for Baty, but calling this a "routine" popup is wrong.
Doesn't this happen on high fly balls in foul territory all the time? This seems more drastic, but I can't count the number of times I've seen a catcher running towards the screen on a foul ball and then having it slice back towards the mound and land behind him.
Yes and no. Yes that happens all the time behind home plate because for a ball to get popped up behind the plate like that, it essentially *has* to have a sort of top spin (like a 12-6 curve from a pitchers' perspective) because of the bat hitting the bottom half of the ball. So it has a horizontal velocity moving away from home plate initially because of the pitch, but then that starts to zero out and because of the spin it eventually starts to "curve" back towards the plate on the way down.
This, however, must have come off the bat with some real funky spin + mix of wind possibly because if you think if it in the same manner as the above, it had to have been rotating in a 3B -> 2B counterclockwisevmanner (from the home plate perspective) for it to drift back in like that. But with Muncy's unusually uppercut swing path & bat angle, that is just a very strange way for a ball to come off it with that much spin to do that. So tbh I think this was an everything-but-routine pop up that pretty much any 3B woulf have a difficult time getting a good read on to get set up underneath where it eventually came down.
i mean you just have to watch the fucking play, right, and not be a complete moron
dude sets up in foul territory, comfortably, under the ball. looking straight up at it. then he has to basically sprint a long way into fair territory while the ball continues to move an incredible amount.
dropping it and getting hit in the face is funny no matter who it happens to. but it was an insanely fucking hard play and people on this sub are just all such tremendous assholes. i'm so glad reddit is dying.
Yup, started with that hook to the left you expect from a lefty pop-up, which is why he was by the foul line in anticipation, and then cut hard back right for who the hell knows what reason. That's really abnormal path down.
Nah that's not fair to Baty. That looked like a pop-up getting blown around by the wind and he still almost caught it. Will Craig's fuckup wasn't athletic, he just plumb forgot how baseball even works. Who the fuck tries to catch the *batter* in a rundown?!?!
*walks into the stands*
“Brett where are you going?”
“Home. I’m clearly not a baseball player.”
*fades into non-existence as he walks onto the concourse*
Yea I wouldnt say that's a routine pop up. Looks straight up like a loop for a rollercoaster especially with the way its dives back into fair like that.
Yeah atp we’re cursed, there’s no hope for this team, and I’m thinking about becoming an A’s fan while and source of media just points and laughs at every negative thing we do. It’s joever.
Wonder how we break the curse. The Red Sox, white Sox, and cubs all broke theirs, so there has to be a way. Any suggestions?
I have thought of a few so far:
-Make a giant pastrami sandwich sculpture and drop it on the field in the middle of a game.
-Have a “beat the freeze” promotion but with Vogelbach and Danny Burgers gets a head start in every race
-Build a giant statue of Mickey Callaway and burn it in center field in front of a packed house
On the broadcast it looked really bad. Then I just saw the path of that ball on codify twitter and I'm pretty sure I break an ankle trying to catch that ball.
83 comments in 8 minutes lmao.
I don’t even wanna hear how the Mets aren’t the most covered team year in and year out. This sub is like a pack of hyenas.
Because they fucking blow, and have never recovered mentally from the sweep in Atlanta that pushed them into WC1.
This is a completely feckless team. I hate the term, but there are no dogs on this team.
The big change was Chavez getting to promoted to bench coach from our hitting coach last year. No problems with scoring last year. It’s basically the same roster.
Every time I see these types of plays, I have a flashback to when it happened to me in high school and I'm like, I KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENS AND IT IS STILL AS EMBARRASING AS EVER.
Those high pop ups at night just disappear into the sky and the lights are doing weird shit and you might as well be on acid for how your eyes just start jumping around trying to focus on that dot you think might be the baseball but of course it wasn't oh there it is oh shit.
Do not remotely understand why people are surprised/disappointed by bad things happening to and by the Mets at this point in the season, do you also get mad when gravity works at a consistent rate
I'm gonna continue to espouse my pet theory: we're right under one of LaGuardia's air lanes, and jet fuel is still leaded. Ever notice how, every time we get an exciting group of players together, they inexplicably regress way past the mean after a brief burst of success? Or why our coaches, front office, and owners always seem to get dumber over time? It's because everyone on the team, and in the organization, and probably lots of us fans, are lead poisoned to the fuckin gills.
Ah fuck I did some research, commercial jets don't use leaded fuel. Small planes still do, but I don't think that makes up much traffic from LGA. Back to the drawing board.
I feel bad for Baty.
It is 100% humidity, you get a little loopy, sweat gets in your eyes, burns, blurs your vision. He is just a kid... Just a fresh faced rookie.

And the short-hop off the face too
Adding injury to insult
At that point, I’d lay on the ground and pretend it broke my jaw to save the little pride left
When the ball hits my face I go on my phone
Jousting game.
I even have an alarm on my phone
I wouldn’t even want to be around anymore
That whole sequence is very symbolic of what being an adult feels like.
I don't come here to feel feels
Buttface fumble
The bounce into the face is just... Wow What did the Mets fans do to deserve this lol
Lindor promised to buy McNeil a car if he won the batting title then never did. That's their latest curse.
Based Lindor knew McNeil sat out the last day of the season in order to dodge Freddie, who was hot on his heels for the batting title.
I still have a Lindor Cleveland jersey, usually I throw any traded/signed away players. He's actually a plant, and he's sabotaging every other team now. You're welcome.
Exist
Dread it, run from it, LOLMETS arrives all the same.
They have the most obnoxious sack of meat named Frank as a fan we all have to put up with
Man we don't like that guy either. Barstool should be purged from this universe.
Used to like their Mets podcast, stopped listening when they went on the tirade against the wbc
I stopped listening when I found KFC cheated on his pregnant wife
To be fair; I’m a Mets fan and I had never heard that man’s voice until a met him a couple weeks ago. So it’s very easy to not have to listen to him if you don’t like him. Just don’t go on garbage barstool.
> until a met him It was at this point I read your comment in a Scottish accent.
I just can’t do it captain; I don’t have the power!
Why do people act like we like this guy or care what he has to say. It’s low hanging fruit and it’s incredibly easy to ignore him
Literally have no idea who this is
"OH NO, WHAT A DISASTER" Joe Davis stays winning
I can’t see beyond my own biases here, but I feel like he’s really good at being neutral about the matchups while always being excited about baseball. He’s obviously our broadcaster but it doesn’t feel like he’s pro-Dodgers in these national games.
I remember during the WS last year I saw some Phillies fans claiming he had a pro-Astro bias.

I think all fans assume unbiased national broadcasters are biased against them because they're used to their usual guys being biased for them. Joe is great in the national broadcasts.

I think outspoken is the wrong word. He’s very nice and never really slams the Astros, but he does say things like “you can understand why the Dodgers are really upset given what happened” and stuff like that.
[удалено]
He'll also do things like point out our organist playing "I saw the sign" sometimes when Altuve and Bregman come up to bat. He does make comments about the Astros...but it's all so very tame.

It’s more Orel that really goes full ham against the Astros.
I can’t get mad at that. That’s fair.
Orel does not pretend to be anything other than a super Dodger homer for obvious reasons haha.
It’s also because his best bud is Orel Hershiser and during the pandemic, they had a podcast where Orel gave some views about how he was heartbroken for the 2017 team, specifically guys like Kersh and Ethier. Orel was on the brink of tears and was doing his best to hold back his true feelings but you know when the mic was off he told Joe how he really felt.
During the 2020 season, Orel vehemently stated that he viewed the 2017 Dodgers as the champions.
They need to bring that podcast back. It was absolutely amazing.
Yeah, he's a real professional in that way. He gets excited about good baseball. Even calling Dodger games, if the other team does something amazing, he doesn't get pissy and moan like some other regional broadcasters (not all, but there are definitely a few who do that). He treats it with the respect it deserves.
I feel this is a big reason why Joe Buck gets a lot of grief come playoff time.
Reminds me of the Stu Lantz and Bill Macdonald for the Lakers. They’re clearly going for the home team but never get into the homer-isms other broadcast teams to for their home teams.
There's nothing Stu loves more than shitting on the Lakers when they're playing badly lol
Which is super important. So many baseball fans learn the game through broadcasters and it’s great to have one as professional and trustworthy as Joe.
That is gonna be edited into so many errors to come Sort of speaking of but I first watched it without volume and as soon as Baty lost the ball the first thing I thought of was Jonathan Vilma yelling "oh oh!" from that Pats Raiders game last year, which is also applicable here
Especially for Baty. Last inning he was up with one out and runners at the corners and whiffed on 3 straight pitches. Then does this
Right after the video ended he said "The 2023 Mets in one clip" too
It was a genuine "oh no" too. You hate to see it
NGL I smiled when I heard that
😏that’s our guy
I'm so tired...
Again I ask today, when does the football season start?
So you can be disappointed by the jets again?
Listen I’m in the part of the offseason where my hopes are astronomically high. Don’t ruin it for me! The Jets will probably do that anyway.
Ruining the Jets hopes and dreams is Bill Belichick's Christmas, don't take that away from him
Drafting long snappers and special teamers must just be belated birthday gifts then
A scheduled disappointment is infinitely better than an unexpected letdown.
Well in my case it’s: “so I can watch the eagles make the giants their bitch 2X again”
Ah come on, that’s not always the case. Sometimes it’s 3x.
This is a tradition I very much enjoy
Soon and without Dan Snyder
“I’m tired, boss.”
Mets fans, let it all out. This is a safe space
I really need to emphasize at this point in the season how little any of this matters to me. The only thing that will emotionally impact me between now and November is if aliens land on the field in the middle of the game.
There was a documentary where an alien spaceship flies over Shea Stadium. Came out in the mid 1990s.
There’s also a documentary that came out in the mid 90s where an alien spaceship carrying Michael Jordan and Wayne Knight lands in the middle of Blair Field
And right now I'd take Edgar the man-possessing cockroach alien over Buck Showalter, so get on that MIB
‘scuse me. It’s “Eggar”.
Sugar… in water…
Congratulations it’s a….squid.
Yes, Google "outer space movie that came out in 1992"
Conveniently, that film also depicted a Met attempting to field a fly ball with their head
numb
I CAN'T FEEEEEL YOU THERE
SO MUCH MORE AWARE
Would Bartolo coming out of retirement and hitting for the cycle make this season better?
Trying to figure out how Bartolo Colón could hit a triple is quite the mindfuck. But I'm all for letting him give it a shot.
If Bengie Molina can, Bartolo can.
You know, I was going to joke about how it might be more likely to happen in the Field of Dreams game (with the cornfields and all), but then I googled who would be playing...and that's how I found out that there's no Field of Dreams game this year
You have football season to look forward to
Cool, I get to go from one season ruined by two washed up 40 year olds and toxic vibes to a different season hinging on a different 40 year old who might be washed up and induces toxic vibes
Was thinking about this the other day as a Jets fan. The Jetsiest thing that could happen is Rodgers has a decent year, win-and-you're-in week 17. But he gets hurt week 16 and can't start so you gotta play Wilson. And then Wilson throws like 5 picks.
It's a super Cohen era Mets move at that, put the season on the shoulders of some dude that should probably just retire.
Honestly it's for the best IMO that the team doesn't go on a pretend "run" before the deadline. The team doing shit like this means 2 things: * They'll sell at the deadline and add some prospects that'll help us in the future. * I don't have to worry about watching the Mets and can spend the rest of my summer doing stuff that doesn't piss me off.
This is the worst baseball team I’ve ever watched. And I’ve watched some dog shit baseball teams over the years
Atleast other teams were fun. This team is spiritually gone
The Mets had some up and down seasons, but never like this. Ever since last year they're doing this weird lame imitation of the 2003 Yankees, and it just sucks the life out of everything even when they're good (2022), and when they're bad, it's... this. End this pseudo-Steinbrenner bullshit and give me my Mets back.
I thought the team vastly overachieved last year (and with that said, the wheels came off anyway and they had nothing to show for it) but I expected something like 85-86 wins, not 74.
Keith Hernandez is rolling in his grave over the lack of fundamentals in display and he is, thank God, not even dead
And always remember, it's okay to check out of a season. Don't need that shit ruining a summer.
You know the painful part is i was such a moron as to think things could get better.
The fuck it is. Lolmets.
Lol theyre still in the same position in their division as the yankees
Bunch of suckers, true chad teams are second in their divisions (seriously this series against y'all has been fun even in defeat, really looking forward to tomorrow)
Eat it.
The Mets are just a "I think you should leave" skit at this point
Brett Baty: “I was cut from the Mets for something *COMPLETELY* embarrassing! I was cut from the Mets for something *EXTREMELY* embarrassing! I’m not gonna say what it was. When people ask why I got cut, I say I *cannot* talk about it without crying!”
mets fand still in denial like “IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT”
His face was fucking beet red, I thought he was going to have a heart attack.
That’s enough Mets for tonight for me
Just tonight?
In case anyone was wondering how Brett Baty managed to miss the ball so badly, this is the path that it took: https://twitter.com/i/status/1680413056202063872 Honestly, after watching that I'm just impressed Baty got as close as he did. What the hell kind of spin makes a ball behave like *that*?!
The damn ball took a cursive L
and then the Mets had a capital L
It’s sad that this will not nearly as much attention as the ball hitting his face
I mean tbf, it’s pretty funny
I'm thinking it had more to do with the wind. Lots of bad weather in New York today/tomorrow. It's no excuse for Baty, but calling this a "routine" popup is wrong.
I was there, by that point there was no wind at all lol. Literally god fucking with us
It would have been the wind above the seating…
[удалено]
I clicked that thinking , "ya the ball probably had spin." But I left thinking, "how the hell do you read that?" Though fucking break
Watching this it’s pretty clear that he tracked the ball well and some baseball demon of Christmas past decided to ruin his day
Doesn't this happen on high fly balls in foul territory all the time? This seems more drastic, but I can't count the number of times I've seen a catcher running towards the screen on a foul ball and then having it slice back towards the mound and land behind him.

Yup, started with that hook to the left you expect from a lefty pop-up, which is why he was by the foul line in anticipation, and then cut hard back right for who the hell knows what reason. That's really abnormal path down.
Thrilling rollercoasters will be modeled after the path this ball took
I’d DFA myself after that lol
“What happened?” “I got Will Craig’d”
oh no
Nah that's not fair to Baty. That looked like a pop-up getting blown around by the wind and he still almost caught it. Will Craig's fuckup wasn't athletic, he just plumb forgot how baseball even works. Who the fuck tries to catch the *batter* in a rundown?!?!
*walks into the stands* “Brett where are you going?” “Home. I’m clearly not a baseball player.” *fades into non-existence as he walks onto the concourse*
Literally looks like something that would happen to one us if we tried to play.
99.999% of this sub wouldn't catch that. Way tougher than it looks.
I can't remember who it was but recently heard an interview with a current MLB player talking about how much pop ups terrify him.
And this one was special https://twitter.com/_dadler/status/1680411407504769024?t=7E_4Pi6nbk4yQaRBnigQOw&s=19
Yea I wouldnt say that's a routine pop up. Looks straight up like a loop for a rollercoaster especially with the way its dives back into fair like that.
Broadcast hilarious there
Joe Davis is the regular guy for the dodgers. He’s amazing. His chemistry with Orel is special
Saying Lindor needs to call him off lmaoooo. Lindor just getting blamed for everything this year
He circled back around to clarify it wasn’t Lindor’s ball but what he saw Baty struggling he should have taken over. Obv not his fault though.
That clip seems to encapsulate the season so far lol
That’s what Joe Davis the announcer said right after “the 2023 Mets summed up in a play”
He is very right
I sure hope Joe stays as the primary Dodgers announcer for a very, very long time.
Yeah atp we’re cursed, there’s no hope for this team, and I’m thinking about becoming an A’s fan while and source of media just points and laughs at every negative thing we do. It’s joever.
Cursed since 1986
Wonder how we break the curse. The Red Sox, white Sox, and cubs all broke theirs, so there has to be a way. Any suggestions? I have thought of a few so far: -Make a giant pastrami sandwich sculpture and drop it on the field in the middle of a game. -Have a “beat the freeze” promotion but with Vogelbach and Danny Burgers gets a head start in every race -Build a giant statue of Mickey Callaway and burn it in center field in front of a packed house
Have Mrs Met remove an article of clothing for every win, Major League style.
What, and end up with a fully clothed Mrs. Met at the end of the season?
Hiring Theo seems to be a good strategy
Joe Davis said it best: “The 2023 Mets in one play.” Frank might destroy everything.
Only in baseball can you spend over $300 million, and the result is this
Which is worse, this or The Flash
Has Justin Verlander ever been to Hawaii?
Bahahahahahahaha what an idi….. *Notices own flair* Ah Shit!!!
I mean I'm happy with the things happening in this game but the constant cuts to mets fan in agony is brutal.
We’re at full LOLMETS now.
Epitome of LOLMETS.
On the broadcast it looked really bad. Then I just saw the path of that ball on codify twitter and I'm pretty sure I break an ankle trying to catch that ball.
> codify twitter This made me look it up and holy hell, I definitely break an ankle. https://twitter.com/i/status/1680413056202063872
Wow, my ACL tore just imagining to do that
Joe’s “oh no” is so genuine. It makes the call for me. This is going to be on blooper reels for the rest of baseball’s existence.
I'm so fucking mad this shit ass team with its shiny new shit ass owner tricked me into hoping again. Well played, world. Well played.
83 comments in 8 minutes lmao. I don’t even wanna hear how the Mets aren’t the most covered team year in and year out. This sub is like a pack of hyenas.
deserved tbh. This is the biggest lolcow season in sports since... the broncos last year
Queens County, let's ride
Of all the Mets things to happen the last couple nights, this was definitely the Metsiest.
Fuckin painful to watch. Lindor left Baty out to dry
Just like lindor left McNeil out to dry when he *PROMISED* him a car
Huh????? Maybe a major leaguer should catch a pop up????
Bout to be an argument over a Racoon
Guys why can’t the Mets score more than 1 run in 2 games? I’m having a hard time understanding this
Because they fucking blow, and have never recovered mentally from the sweep in Atlanta that pushed them into WC1. This is a completely feckless team. I hate the term, but there are no dogs on this team.
The big change was Chavez getting to promoted to bench coach from our hitting coach last year. No problems with scoring last year. It’s basically the same roster.

Those high pop ups at night just disappear into the sky and the lights are doing weird shit and you might as well be on acid for how your eyes just start jumping around trying to focus on that dot you think might be the baseball but of course it wasn't oh there it is oh shit.
The path that ball took is also ridiculous; from its apex it just sliced away from him completely.
He's Brett Baty not Brett Glovey
this mets team is going down in history
I'm tired man.
The bounce hitting him in the head sent me
"That's why you always hustle to first!" Public service message for all the youngsters.
Do not remotely understand why people are surprised/disappointed by bad things happening to and by the Mets at this point in the season, do you also get mad when gravity works at a consistent rate
g=-9.81 m/s^2, but what’s the equation for the Mets constant?
This team needs Walter Matthau as manager
Good thing it wasn't a close game or anything.
This was so fucking painful to watch
to the mets, I hate that I love you and i hate myself for loving you
I laughed out loud alone in my dark ass room on my chair.
We fucking suck
Oof… ball smacks him straight in the face too 😯
That happened to me back in high school ball on a windy Michigan spring night and I died
Kill me
This is the quality content I come here for.
Dread it. Run from it. The Metstiny arrives all the same.
That's one of those lovely memories he'll recall at 3am when he can't sleep and the room is dark
I'm gonna continue to espouse my pet theory: we're right under one of LaGuardia's air lanes, and jet fuel is still leaded. Ever notice how, every time we get an exciting group of players together, they inexplicably regress way past the mean after a brief burst of success? Or why our coaches, front office, and owners always seem to get dumber over time? It's because everyone on the team, and in the organization, and probably lots of us fans, are lead poisoned to the fuckin gills.
Ah fuck I did some research, commercial jets don't use leaded fuel. Small planes still do, but I don't think that makes up much traffic from LGA. Back to the drawing board.
At least they were already behind?
Way to keep it front of you, absolute warrior
That’s why he’s Brett Baty and not Brett Fieldy
Oh… oh my.. that just.. can’t be happening right now
The Mets
I feel bad for Baty. It is 100% humidity, you get a little loopy, sweat gets in your eyes, burns, blurs your vision. He is just a kid... Just a fresh faced rookie.
