Wilson next, no?

He'll get at least one more.



Meanwhile, we should just save our pitchers some pitches and automatically wave the #9 slot hitter onto 1st base each time.

Hell, they're going to wind up there anyway. Kendrick PH'ing this time.

Agee used to destroy him.

So limiting Lugo to just 10 pitches last night turned out to have a positive effect in today's game as he gives us two scoreless.

So, y'know, there's that.

[Lefty Specialist]

I purposely stayed away from this game until 4 PM. Even now I won't watch, just following gamecast.



Back in the day a 4-run lead in the 9th made you feel confident. Now I just want to reach for the Pepto.

[86dreamer]

Much love to Lugo for that. I still would have pitched him last night....

[Lefty Specialist]

So what to do with Familia? Ignore him for the last month like Terry did to Ollie Perez?

[Guest 41Forever]

There goes the streak. Took a great play to do it.



Bravo, Wilson. It was an amazing run.

[86dreamer]

So close. Congrats to the Buffalo. Lets hope he doesn't get another AB.

[Edgy MD]

Ramos swung at about seven balls there.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Haggerty gets an appearance

[Edgy MD]

Let's bat around and get Buffalo one more swing.

[Frayed Knot]

ML debut as a pinch-runner ... and he [Haggerty] goes 1st to 3rd on a single that most likely would have seen Frazier stop at 2nd

Yep. Also Diaz, Zamora, Bashlor, Mazza, and Sewald.

[Frayed Knot]

Four run lead, 9th inning, our 'Win Pct' is up to 21%

Get the leadoff hitter and it'll jump to 23%

[Edgy MD]

That was Jerry who ignored Perez. And it was more than a month.

[Frayed Knot]

Howie: "Justin Wilson coming in to a non-save situation"



Well, it may not be a "save" situation, but that doesn't mean it's not a save situation.

After last night, we most definitely need saving.

Fake Sweep in the Books

[Guest 41Forever]

This is a great win, and a must-win. But so painfully close to sweeping this series.

I stand corrected. Of course, 9 years later Ollie is still getting major league hitters out. So go figure.

[Frayed Knot]

Win Tuesday's game and that's 5 of 6 from Philly & Washington and everyone's feeling good about it.

Instead, we're still down about the whole week and are going to be here 20 years from now as old men (or even older men) cursing

about the time we blew that 6-run 9th inning lead during a pennant race to the Nationals (before they left for Portland).



Oh well.

[LWFS]

Playing much better than during the homestand, nearly sweeping AT the Wild-Card leaders... and still just about 5 out of the WC.

[G-Fafif]

Mets need to win their upcoming one-game series Friday night. They have 22 one-game series following that.

[Edgy MD]

Man, how tight did they look in the ninth?

• Wilson fielded the comebacker cleanly for the first out, but hooked his throw to first pulling Alonso into the baseline. Had the runner been fleet and busting it, it might have been an ugly situation.


• Davis' basket catch for out two looked like he was trying to catch an egg with a glove that wasn't broken in.


• Rosario fielded the ball cleanly, then stepped on the bag and threw to first, indicating either (a) he didn't know how many outs there were, or ( more likely, just wanted to add an extra out to be safe in case somehow the runner heading to second was called safe, even though he had the guy by a mile. Or perhaps © he knew how many outs there were, but didn't quite fully trust himself.

[Centerfield]

Maybe after Trea Turner last night, Rosario decided, "I'm going to turn two on every ball, regardless of the number of outs I think have been recorded."

[Edgy MD]

Something like.



Anyhow, if they weren't all that tight, maybe I was just projecting, like, a lot.

I'll say this about Familia. He's consistent.
