    MMP is one of the better ball parks in baseball.

    The reaction from the umpire is one of the greatest reactions I have ever seen. Screwing over Harvey yet again.

    The ump then using the same swiping jesture as he explained it to the Mets Manager with a look of "I mean... I don't know what he was thinking" on his face was awesome.

    White and Reed with consecutive walks. You gotto love that too. Their bats are getting into opposing pitcher's heads already :cool:;)

    Dallas is such an amazing pitcher! If he stays healthy he could win another CY young this year.

    Probably not. It just makes more sense, in the long run, to start him at AAA.

    I'm just now noticing that the umpire is C.B. Bucknor, one of the biggest douchebags in baseball, which makes this video that much more hilarious.

    I kinda think he earned it more than Duffy while Gattis is on the DL, but really no reason to rush it

    How so? Before yesterday his OPS was sub-.600. They are both striking out too much, but Duffy is at least getting walked more frequently. Duffy can also play 3B.

    Duffy is only hitting .229 but he has had very good at bats even on the outs plus a lot of power. He can play 1b-3b and they are trying him at LF.

    I think he will make the team. Now, the question is going to be who is going down after Gattis is healthy? Tucker? White? Duffy? When Statiss is healthy, will Gattis be our backup catcher? Or are we sending one of the 3 mentioned before to the minors???

    I still think Staily is good, and could be in that last spot in the bullpen.
