John Means 4-0 1.37

Marcus Stroman 3-3 2.10



Vamos los Mets!

* = cage the birds

[Lefty Specialist]

Very often, a guy coming off a no-no has a stinker the next time out. Let's hope for that. Means is pretty good, though.

once de mayo is left out in the sun, you're better off just throwing it away.

Almora CF

Villar's gotta make that play. If that was JD some would be yelling for Villar to play 3B.

So when the hell is Pete gonna hit a fucking HR, already?

[G-Fafif]

Lindor's bunting is not effective.

[Frayed Knot]

It also passed the buck to a LHB vs a LHP ... although it turned out that McNeil and Conforto had the best contact in inning 1

[Edgy MD]

McNeil gets hit #2 and pulls up a little gimpy.



Good thing I have Todd Frazier on speed dial.

[Edgy MD]

Supposedly, McKneel looks OK.



Sorry, Todd.

[Lefty Specialist]

Mets hitting like Jacob deGrom was pitching.

Means is no slouch. If the season ended today, he should win the AL Cy Young Award. He'd deserve it, too. He's the AL's deGrom in 2021, so far.

[Edgy MD]

Howie is reporting hit data just to get angry at hit data.

Mets trying to find the ways to defeat the Means

[bmfc1]

Oh Luis, I don't know about this move.

[LWFS]

A) Loup tends to come thisclose to hitting dudes all the time

Stroman is the groundball pitcher

C) This gets you a worse matchup

[bmfc1]

Stewart did what Pete couldn't do.

Luis F'd that one up.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, let's hope their bullpen sucks.

[bmfc1]

I can't believe I'm saying this but Nido has to start more often.

[Fman99]

Ugh, McCann

[Lefty Specialist]

McCann really really needs to sit down. He's not hitting and he irritates umpires by constantly bitching about the strike zone.

[bmfc1]

Ugh, McCann

Sandy: "I have a great idea! Let's not wait for Realmuto. We'll sign this guy now coming off one good season and save the Realmuto money for a big free agent!" (which they didn't).

[Fman99]

Oh no. Awful collision there between Almora and the CF fence.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets not only lose Almora here, but they lose Smith's bat in the eighth.
