  1. Man, the Mets really struck gold this season. How on earth does *Adam Ottavino* have a 2.08 ERA?

  2. Contreas framing a pitch in the dirt is a low key “fuck you” to CB Bucknor. Love to see it.

  3. I was going to ask for a double play, but I got one before I could even ask. I’ll take that.

  4. I feel like Fried is our new Maddux, Strider is our new Smoltz, and Wright is our new Glavine. Quiet and composed. Just goes out and does his job. Shows little emotion.

  5. Ayy, good shit. Kyle Wright fucks.

    7 scoreless innings and that’s pitching around the defense making it harder for him.

  6. This pitching staff is an embarrassment of riches. Our 4th starter is Charlie Fucking Morton. What a joke.

  7. We got exactly the game we wanted from Kyle after Fried just didn’t have it last night. Couldn’t have asked for better tonight!

  8. God fucking damn I love Kyle Wright. Comes in, grinds it out, let’s the defense work, and gives you 6-7 innings every time.

  9. It’s a luxury to have 3 of the best curveballs pitchers in the game in your rotation. Even more so when the slider is the current dominant pitch in MLB.
