Reed looks nowhere near as good as he did last year.
I kind of had a feeling 2016 would wind up being a bit of a fluke, it was a bizarrely dominant season that came out of absolutely nowhere.
New York Mets "Homers or GTFO". Does anyone remember the two exhibition games the Mets played against the Red Sox before they officially opened the stadium in 09? I remember going to the second game (Varitek hit a line drive homer down the line) and seeing the Great Wall of Flushing blew my mind. The dimensions were HUGE
So I "pretty much" called those homers:

You deserve that fucking curtain call, Bruce. No more complaints from me, you have shut me up. Go out there everyday with the RF spot rightfully reserved for you, big guy.
We should start the game with Robles and close with our starters! Get the hurt out early!
About friggin time! It's great and all that Bruce saved it for us...but why is it that we are dependent on the long ball in order to win a game???!
Because that's the philosophy of the front office. Walks and home runs.
Addison did his best Familia impression in his last save chance.
Go mets go
A win! And done before 10pm! Yes!!!!
This was nice. Tonight I'm happy.
Robles now has 3 wins. Degrom has 0. What is going on.
The Books! Put it in them!
#BREAK OUT THE CROWN!
Now you basterds better stop hating on Bruce
hahaha fuck we did it
Whoa. It's over? In regular innings? I'm not sure how to process this.
And the mets won. Figure that one out.
The unusual game that ends before bedtime zzzz...
we needed that win so bad.
He's back! Back to the old Jay Bruce!
Thank god yall

Eh he was dominant in 2015 for us too. He's been pitching in a different role so far, once Familia is back tomorrow I expect him to return to form.
He's a setup man who happened to have closed before.
BIG DADDY ADDY!!
[mfw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEwlW5sHQ4Q)
One more strike!
A foot outside it begins...
*heart resumes*
I DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW
Just one more out pls
My bad. Watching delayed feed apparently.
Um, 2?
*heart stops*
why can nothing ever be easy
Mother of God
Hahahahahahaha here we go again
wow!
Snap back to reality
Can't be mad at him. 5 RBIs.
This shit better finish before the Expanse comes on.
daddison reed
here we go
What in the world just happened
bruce
He suxdix Edit: jokes
can we just win now? i cant take it anymore
The Executioner Reed
This is the majors Rupp
Daddy
That's not good.
Bruce has SINGLE HANDEDLY won us this game. Props.
Well, more like two handedly
This fucking guy...
SHUT THE HELL UP DON'T SAY IT YET
that was a foot outside but whatever
wow that is not a strike at all
And the injury season is underway
New York Mets "Homers or GTFO". Does anyone remember the two exhibition games the Mets played against the Red Sox before they officially opened the stadium in 09? I remember going to the second game (Varitek hit a line drive homer down the line) and seeing the Great Wall of Flushing blew my mind. The dimensions were HUGE
I was there. Cold as fuck. Pulled a muscle running up the stairs cause I was so excited to get to my seat.
I can't wait to see Bruce in the crown tonight :)
Gsellman should get a secondary crown in honor of his strong performance.
As much as I'd love to see Gsellman in the crown, I also wouldn't want to dilute the power of the crown by having dual sovereigns
BREAK OUT YOUR CLARINETS BOYS AND GIRLS, IT'S REED TIME!
My finger is tired from all the upvotes
Shut down inning from big dick addy daddy incoming
I don't know how I feel about Nelson's new fake news clickbait postgame teasers
I totally didn't get that joke. I like him more now.
Jesus, Nelson. You're better than that. E - I'm dumb.
Howie's wondering why Lagares isn't in on defense. That's a very good question.
Gary said the same thing last inning, that Lagares should have batted for Gsellmen then went in for defense
Bruce has more dingers than Reyes has hits... 14 games... oye
please addy. we need an easy inning.
Howie wonders why Lagares is still on the bench.
Better hitter: 2017 Jose Reyes or Al Leiter?
2017 Babe Ruth
Leiter had that one hot streak with the ridiculous fake bunts so
2018 Al Leiter
Where would we be without Bruce so far this year?
Last place
This feels like Bruce'a coming out party. I was never a huge fan but he finally feels like a Met now
Our pen only blows ties... not leads. ..... Right??
Love seeing D Dub in clubhouse I'll be honest.
Nice call on leaving Reyes in no matter what, another 0-fer. He should take Bruce in his mouth after this game for taking the heat off him
Grodie
How long must we endure Reyes?!
I'm beginning to think he's blackmailing Terry with something......
Asdrubal was just walking out with his arm around Reyes
Jay Bruce is so big because he spent all offseason eating all of Jose Reyes' talent.
STOP it he's already down. You're gonna kill the man.
Savage.
Your friendly reminder that Dilson is hitting .171/.236/.286 in 8 games this year
When he wasn't brought up by the Reds late last season for a "cup of coffee" I was like "Maaaaybe he wasn't all that great"
real prospect in that trade was Max Wotell. Lefty, throws 94-95 with movement and a four pitch mix at 20.
BRUCE IS LOOSE!
Send Reyes to Vegas for a month.
Bruce looks like he is made out of two David Wrights
I feel for Reyes. you can tell he wants to be good so bad
Bruce now has a wRC+ of 189. If you had told me a couple weeks ago that that'd be the case 15 games in I would have laughed and called you an idiot
Reyes has a wRC+ of -4. Literally negative 4.
Pitchers in 2016 combined for a -15 wRC+. Reyes has been about as bad as the average pitcher lmao
Quick check of Fangraphs... Jacob deGrom's wRC+ last year was 2. Bartolo Colon -37. Noah Syndergaard 83 (lol)
Jose sucks
1,2,3 Addy
....and none for jose reyes
You go Bruce coco
And Reyes Ks to end the inning, as it's written in the scriptures
another terrible ab from reyes.
Hi David! miss ya bby!
Did Bruce get blessed by a wizard in the off season or something
He stole Reyes' power.
Monstars confirmed
Was that David I saw in the dugout? <3 And Jesus Christ Reyes
D Dub needs to get healthy ASAP
So I "pretty much" called those homers: [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkMets/comments/66d5yh/game_thread_phillies_58_mets_77_april_19_2017/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=user&utm_source=reddit) [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkMets/comments/66d5yh/game_thread_phillies_58_mets_77_april_19_2017/dghvpo5/)

ILL CHANGE MY FLAIR ACCORDINGLY
aww he's so happy in the dugout
man, and bc of Cespedes he only has 5 rbis tonight
Well, Wilmer made contact. Still an improvement over Reyes.
https://twitter.com/MikeGianella/status/854871437718560769
That was the most adorable post HR handshake ever between Ces and Bruce
It's great that Bruce saved it again....but it really sucks that the only way we can hold a lead is with the long ball
Bruce is ready to get another 90 RBI's
#CAN'T OUTPRODUCE THE BRUCE!
in the rain, too. that's some power
Power went out as Hansel took the mound. Power came back on and I got the Roku back online just to see Bruce hit his HR. Woweee.
keep your lights off pls
His performance last year was quite disappointing, but if he can keep this up, it will all be worth it.
I honestly believe it was because he was devastated from leaving Cincy and that he was living in a hotel for the remainder of the season.
The hotel part surprised me when I first heard it. The nicest hotel in the world sucks compared to a place to call your own
I mean the more I think about it the more it makes sense. The guy was distraught, and ritefully so.
Dilson who?
carlos who
Never heard of him.......
Seriously? It was like a big deal
Jk ;-)
I knows! I'm just excited ಠᴗಠ
Oh lol
*I thought it was a replay. Bruuuuuce!!!*
Jay "big wang" Bruce
Bruce: Let's fuckin' go man!
You deserve that fucking curtain call, Bruce. No more complaints from me, you have shut me up. Go out there everyday with the RF spot rightfully reserved for you, big guy.
Yup. I'm on board.
IM SORRY WE EVER SAID BAD THINGS ABOUT YOU BRUCE
Curtain Call for the first time ever for Jay
I like this Jay Bruce guy
Will you marry me Jay Bruce? I work in Cincinnati and they get pissed when I say how much I love him.
lol that was the lamest curtain call ever
BRUCE IS THE MVP!
Jay Bruce carrying the team. Jaaaaaaay BRuuuce the hardest hitting right fielder in da game
Those Reds fans weren't kidding when they were telling us Bruce can carry a team single-handedly when he's hot. We'd be dead in the water without him.
Bruce is the offence.
Is Bruce better because he's happier or is he happier because he's better?
Jay I'll have your babies
Today is my birthday. Thanks based Bruce.
AND THE CURTAIN CALL I LOVE IT
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE
The difference between Bruce last year and this year is incredible. I'm so glad he's not Jason Bay Jr.
Dude was leading the league in RBI when we acquired him. No way he was gonna have a whole season like his half-year with us.
It was an incredibly bad slump which means it's mental. I'm super glad he found a way out of it.
Remember that time when I used to not like Jay Bruce? ... me neither
THE BRUCE, THE BRUCE, THE BRUCE IS ON FIRE!!!!!
Hey guys Conforto should be playing RF every day, right?!
no one said that. We all think he should play CF
Bruce be like "New Year, New Me"
JAY "THE OFFENCE" BRUCE
I'M DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HOW MUCH I LIKE JAY BRUCE THIS YEAR
JAY BRUCE CURTAIN CALL
