Javier Baez came to the plate five times today.

He struck out

and struck out

and struck out

and struck out

and... struck out.

Eight left on. Reminds me of an old post at Faith and Fear in Flushing.

Quote:
On a night when few did much and many did little, Bay continued to brave the storm in a skiff made of futility, standing in proximity to home plate six times for no immediately discernible reason. He produced a groundout, reached on an error and then struck out, struck out, struck out and…struck out.

0-for-6 with four strikeouts, none of which came with a Met runner on base, which prevents me, in all good conscience, from picketing the team hotel in L.A. this morning while chanting:

HEY, HEY, JASON BAY!
HOW MANY METS DID YOU STRAND TODAY?
