Juan Soto just tried to hit a baseball to Staten Island
Big Buckston

@Jon - Doesn't Citi Field face towards LI, not Staten Island?
Davy Andrews
3:20
Actually, it faces White Plains.

Daylen Lile had an RBI single for the Nationals to tie their game with the Cubs 2-2 . The kid can hit.
Brian

Im late, its too nice outside... What happened to Skenes? Please
Davy Andrews
3:21
Got shelled in the first inning, and wasn't helped by Oneil Cruz losing two balls in the sun.
Jon
3:21
If he made contact, that ball was orbiting the Earth and landing on Staten Island
new world order

Davy Andrews

You are welcome.
Bob

Contact hitting…that’s the Mets new hitting philosophy…put the ball in play and good things will happen
Brian
3:22
Cool glad for baseball and fans he is not hurt. Thank you!
Jon
3:22
The Mets lost a World Series in 2015 to that exact philosophy

Davy, what's it going to take for us to get a regular chat out of you?
Davy Andrews
3:25
I am certainly game. I think the issue is that we  have so many chats already. (Also, I'm going to be out for a couple months this season.)
Sirras

If you could invite any former FG writer to join you on today's chat, who would you invite?

Pete with a standing ovation from the Baltimore crowd in his first PA. Tips his helmet. That's rare

Baltimore legend Pete Alonso
Gust

Tipping the helmet before your first AB and striking out, whoops

Pete Alonso is still wearing orange but the O's uni just looks so wrong on him

8 walks by Pirates pitching, and in just 4 2/3 innings, good gravy
Jon

That won't get it done Jay

I can't believe the NYM-PIT game is even this close
Matt Martell
3:27
They have buffed some easy outs too on defense, beyond just the Cruz first-inning flies.

Laz Díaz first overturned strike call
AvatarDavid Laurila

Pirates pitchers have combined to throw 150 pitches over four-and-two-thirds innings.
Matt Martell
3:28
And I have felt every single pitch they've thrown...

Murakami with 2 BBs so far in his 2 PAs
Gust
3:30
Skenes, Webb, Boyd hooked early, now Rogers in trouble. Is there some monster coming for guys who got CYA votes last year?
AvatarJay Jaffe

It's on me for writing about these starters
Hinch might want to have a long man heating up when Skubal takes the mound

I did write about Yamamoto ahead of Game 6 of the Word Series last year and that turned out OK
Key Jangler
3:32
Keibert Ruiz with his first hit of the season, which I think ties his total from last year.
Charlie
3:32
Was really interested to see Murakami face Misiorowski as a test for his ability to hit a good fastball and Mis has decided to throw nowhere near the zone for his ABs
Gust
3:32
Holy, oh my goodness, Jacob Young just hit a homer. This is worth noting.
