Squirrel sits, lest his bat remain sizzling.

[MFS62]

Not exactly a scary 4-8.

Later

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mickey gave deGrom the zero run support lineup with Amed batting leadoff, Davis batting third and Lagares batting.

[kcmets]

With no McForto, it does have a settle-for-the-Sunday-split vibe.

[Edgy MD]

It was nice knowing you, Strawberry.

[kcmets]

1. ALONSO

2. STRAW

[G-Fafif]

225 to catch Straw all-time.

[G-Fafif]

The Mets have gone two seven-game stretches thus far without a Pete Alonso home run. Those are the dry spells.

[Edgy MD]

Nido > Alonso?

[Edgy MD]

Hmmm... I felt like Davis quit on that ball too quickly, but he almost certainly played it correctly.

[Edgy MD]

Great throw, but second questionable tag by Rosario today.

[Edgy MD]

Heck of list of options for lefty pinch-hitters today:

2. McNeil if you're looking for a base hit.


4. Conforto if you're looking for four bags.


6. Smith if you're looking for either and have already burned the other guy.

[Edgy MD]

Three innings to protect a one-run (currently) lead. Who you gonna call?



That Poundcake guy has climbed the depth chart quickly, hasn't he?

[Edgy MD]

Oh, I had not realized Lugissimo was available.

I wonder what an analysis would show concerning lengthy ABs -- however you want to define them: 7 or more pitches?, 8 or more?, 10? -- both for and against.

Now maybe it's just biased thinking, but it seems to me (and right as we're having another one courtesy of Kris Bryant) that our pitchers have a lot more of those

to contend with as compared to what NYM hitters do to opposing hurlers. iow: we seem to serve up a whole fucking lot of foul balls.

Rats.

[bmfc1]

Plenty of second-guessing here.

[kcmets]

Not to second guess, but my 1.99-guess is they unnecessarily road Lugo

into that unfortunate outcome.

The problem is that everyone else in the BP is not reliable other than Diaz so Mickey managed for the stat--saving Diaz for the 9th--instead of using Diaz with 2-on and worrying about the 9th inning later.

[HahnSolo]

I generally try to be patient but I'm ready for a new skipper.

[bmfc1]

Unless they score 2 or more, Diaz will have gone unused and Mickey will have saved him for a situation that never happened.

[Edgy MD]

Not that it should matter, but neither should it go unacknowledged: deGrom burned by his bullpen (and his manager's bullpen deployment) again.

[kcmets]

It's Wrigley, bring some lumber into the ninth and rise above...

[Edgy MD]

That Canó hustle. It's moving.
