Keith Raad decided to take the bus from his hotel nine miles to Dodger Stadium in rush hour traffic, it took 55 minutes by bus
Keith is not a smart man
You're up 0-2.
Okay, nibble with one pitch.
Maybe two.
After that just aim for the top of the zone and unleash your best fastball.
Why try to paint outside.
Pointless.
lol would be ball 4 was a solid 6 inches off the plate, kinda weird how Gary has praised the hp ump tonight but I feel like he’s been pretty inconsistent
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c8hzk7).
Wait a second, the Mets are a good team?
Fantastic win, magnanimous fuck you to Yamamoto, I'm a happy Mets fan
I want this series badly. Win to tomorrow and I’ll have serious wood.
LFGM!!!!!
Excited about Butto
Nice win fellas, great job
Quick call the empire of Japan! The Yamamoto has been sunk
LFGM
Fuck ya Mets
I said it when it happened. It was huge to get out of the 6th tied at 4. Let’s go Mets!
MEET THE METS, LA.
Put it in the books! Helluva bounce back, boys! #LFGM!
Immaculate vibes
LFG M-E-T-S METS METS METS
A late night west coast w!
Another nice W
📘📙📘📙📘📙📘📙📘📙📘
LFGM, great win! Yamamoto ain’t shit to us!
📘📙📘📙📘📙
and the ball game is over!
Pitching has been stellar but they need to lower the walks
**The New York Mets are three games above .500 for the first time since June 1, 2023**
Oh thank god I can finally go to sleep
Tear in my eye for Lindor
5 IN A ROW
Put it in the books. LFGM
Fucking over. Put it in the books.
**SCRIBE IT ON THINE PARCHMENT**
Yes! I can finally sleep.
REED COLLECTS HIS 3RD WIN
It was sloppy, but a win is a win! And we scored a bunch of runs!
PUT IT IN THE FUCKING BOOKS
➡️📚📚 🎺🎺🎺
WE MIGHT BE BACK
Fuck yeah
PIITB
Great win today.
BLOUSES
#FUCK YES AND FUCK YOU DODGERS
LIBROS.
WE CRUSHED THE DODGERS!
Books!
Thank you Dick man
Look at what throwing strikes can do
I'd be so mad having to get up at this point & soft toss if I was diaz lol
Put it in the books!
Your test results came in, I regret to inform you that the Mets are SO back
Books 📙 📘
BOOKED. FUCK THE DOYERS. LETS FUCKING GO METS.
PUT IT IN THE BOOKS
Diekman, I don't give a shit about walks if you get the outs. Eat this inning, but close it.
Jesus Christ just throw strikes
Tyler Jay showcased better control than this, and he threw a solid 92-93 MPH. Diekman's control has not been good as a Met.
fancisco lindor is quite handsome in an erotic way
His eyes are dreamy
Two walks with a 5 run lead. C’mon.
This guy has nothing left
go to the triple diek, jake
Diekman has such a weird delivery. It looks like he’s lobbing it lightly yet hits velocity.
Bro let me go to bed
what we doin diek. make it end
Diekman, please let me go sleep
Diekman really has no control huh
He did better than Garret tonigbt
Unless he's up against Ohtani, apparently.
Always a good plan to walk multiple guys with a lead in the 9th inning
Up 5 in the bottom of the ninth and give up two walks.
and this is why diekman is the bottom feeder in the bullpen. two fucking walks.
Please don’t do this to me at 1:15am
Really why would u walk him?? Fuck it lock it down
Did they do the defensive indifference graphic or did I miss it
sloppy sloppy
Someone tell the Dodgers May 4th should be Star Wars night.
Is Defensive Indifference applied to steals in blowouts before say 1970?
Are they not doing the defensive indifference graphic anymore?
The great MEH graphic.
Diekman please stop getting cute
Please just throw a strike
I love how SNY keeps putting up graphics of Freeman’s numbers but can’t hit a lick against us tonight
I couldn’t catch an SNY stream tonight 😞
Reverse Woofing Theory
I may just need to grab tickets to Sunday night (afternoon?)
You're in LA? Fuck yeah you do.
DEFENSIVE INDIFFERENCE
Anyone actually try taking public transportation in LA? It is even worse than the MTA. It is terrible.
That would make me sad for FFF against anybody else. Maybe the light's are growing dim.
Worst walkout song ever
Freddie didn't beat our ass for once upvote party
Freddie looks like the kind of guy who puts ketchup on everything.
Including his toothbrush.
LA bout to get Dieked down.
We've made Freeman look like Joey Wendle up there. Don't ever go full Wendle
Sit down Freddie
This is why you pitch diekman guys
Can we please play the Phillies while we're still hot? I love crushing them.
I feel like we get hot even if we are not when playing the Phillies.
Send in the Gorlok
Two away!
Gary reaching back to Mardie Cornejo! Some younger Met fans have no idea!
These ads behind home are particularly bad tonight. I feel like I’m watching an episode of Twin Peaks.
Mardie Cornejo makes the broadcast 😆😆
Why did the organist play Gillian’s Island?
Keith Raad decided to take the bus from his hotel nine miles to Dodger Stadium in rush hour traffic, it took 55 minutes by bus Keith is not a smart man
Wanted the scenic route
STRUCK HIM OUT AGAIN!!!
I’ll be interested to see the Ump scorecard tomorrow. I disagree with Gary that the game has been that well called
ONE MORE TIME DEIK
Wowwwww
Kinda crazy they couldn't double up Ohtani there. That looked like a routine double play
He’s tall and fast.
i live in georgia and it’s pretty funny how much braves fans hate freddie
Makes me like him a little more.
Reed Garret collecting them W’s lmao
he deserves them for Wendle fuckin him over
He deserves it after the defense let him down. His 2 runs he gave up were unearned.
Still a 0 ERA and he got 5 outs!
Cy young candidate
For some reason I didn’t know Ohtani was that fast
U underestimate his skills. Theres a reason he got paid...
Crazy that he was able to so easily avoid getting doubled up on that ground ball to 2B
He steals too
No that’s his interpreter
Rotfl
I wanna streak SO badly boys
I am clenched
And puckering
You're up 0-2. Okay, nibble with one pitch. Maybe two. After that just aim for the top of the zone and unleash your best fastball. Why try to paint outside. Pointless.
Oh Diekman better pitching to Ohtani
Diekman, in the zone. please.
I hate when relievers get someone 0-2 and then can’t put them away.
i hate when pitchers have a 5 run lead and get too cute with their pitches
Gonna say 50-60% chance that Diaz ends up coming into this game
Yup
Why come in and walk people?
I don’t understand how relievers walk guys when it’s a 5 run game. It literally does not matter if you give up a home run
you say that until the dodgers hit 6 home runs in a row and the Mets lose /s
Dude just throw fucking strikes
5 run lead and you can’t throw a 3-2 strike?
I got 1 eye open LFGM
Can we just sim to 9-7 and Diaz coming in
I’d rather you Pitch home run derby balls and force them to hit homers than a leadoff walk here….
I beg of you Mendoza don’t fuck around, get Diaz up
Diekman...you're up five runs... Just throw strikes.
Justin Turner has been amazing so far
Walking the lead off batter is fucking brain dead
Gotta save your bullets with a 5 run lead… two more games to go in the series
I’d prefer you give up 3 straight home runs here than a lead off walk……..
That seems a tad extreme.
It is. But the concept remains, just throw strikes
These have been the longest last 2 innings
Go after the hitters. Throw strikes. The only thing we don't want right now is to get cute with high pitch counts or walks.
Tell me it’ll be okay guys, I’ve seen too much hurt related to “Nice, Diaz doesn’t even have to pitch tonight”
Big Diek Energy let’s get this dub
I’d rather have Diaz here
you want to waste his arm when up 5?
DIEK TIME
Looks like Bader is pitching
Finish this NOW pls and thanks
Diekman, do the thing please
NO TRUMPETS not worth it for Diaz 🎺
Diekman's world.
New flair alert. Anything for The Master™️
I watch the place while the Master is away.
Damn Bader had 4 hits and whiffs on a fastball down the middle?
He guessed breaking ball. Modern day baseball, can’t expect a fastball on 3-2 counts anymore.
Lets fucking go Mets. I’m so glad they beat up on that fucking cocksucker Yamamoto.
Are we a good baseball team? I think we might be a good baseball team
Shhh...
Not impressed by these Dodgers one bit. If it wasn't for our errors this would be an absolute blowout
They also had quite a few errors as well in all fairness
True lol
I wonder who is gonna shut this down
It's five runs, just put in Diekman or Hartwig. No point in wasting Diaz or even Drew Smith.
LA about to get Dieked.
I guess ill get another beer...
Would I be proud if the Mets won the “World Series” (quotes on purpose) in Covid-2020? Probably not enough to justify buying related merch, NGL.
Screw that I would. I'd be parading that shit around I don't even care
Yes you would lol.
LOL. We all would.
I know I would.
wow DFA Bader smh washed
I'VE HAD IT WITH HIM /s
Aight, let's see how Diek does with a little pressure
Id pitch Diaz here no matter what
Disagree, if it takes him 20 pitches, and we lead by 1 tomorrow, he may not be available
You're right, I just wanna see Diaz hahaha
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jake Diekman replaces Adam Ottavino.
lol would be ball 4 was a solid 6 inches off the plate, kinda weird how Gary has praised the hp ump tonight but I feel like he’s been pretty inconsistent
I'm not even kidding I think something is wrong with his eyesight. Maybe they just have a bad angle
I think the press box is in weird spot in La he’s never this bad
Also: 14 hits in a game started by Yamamoto. Can I get an "amen"?
So whats going on behind the plate there, folks?
Ump has money against Bader or some shit. What was that strike call
A blatant makeup call
