Defensive indifference needs to be scored No Fucks Given.

[Edgy MD]

AHHHH, Guillorme could have run to third.

[Frayed Knot]

He had the play at 3rd!!!!!

DeGrom doesn't get the loss. Small (minute) victory.

[bmfc1]

Are you fucking kidding me? Come on Luis, just run to 3B .

[Edgy MD]

Acoonie was snoozin'.

[Gwreck]

Wtf. You had the force at third.

[kcmets]

Well, that kinda sucked monkey poo.

[bmfc1]

LUIS CASTILLO GUILLORME.

[Edgy MD]

The real screwup was getting to 0-2 on Enciarte and pitching afraid.

Nibbling shit. McCann has to put the target down and tell Lugo to throw the fucking ball.

[Edgy MD]

The rest of the inning was a series of bad breaks, but Loogie just didn't seem to have gone over the book on Enciarte.

[bmfc1]

Lugo: THIRD, THIRD, THIRD!

Luis: HUH? I'm not even looking that way or remembering that the bases are loaded. I'm just gonna throw! WHEEEEEE!

[Frayed Knot]

It wouldn't have been an easy play -- he would have had to change directions and hustle over there -- but it was his only play.



Meanwhile, we got beat by three balls that never got past the pitchers mound.

[bmfc1]

Yes, he had no play at first so third was the only option (even if it would have been futile).

[Edgy MD]

Other relevant question is whether Lindor gets to that ball if it doesn't rebound off of Lugo.



I think he probably does, but again, he'd have a tough play to make, and no option at second.



Breaks.

[Fman99]

That inning is on Lugo. Never should have attempted the throw to first against the leadoff hitter.



Then, he has to get Enciarte after having him down 0-2.



Umps didn't help any Mets RP last night either.

The NY Post article on the game:

But this part got me thinking.

“I was really frustrated,” deGrom said, referencing between-innings conversations with catcher James McCann and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner. “I said to James, ‘How did he hit that?' I felt like I made my pitch and he was able to get a bat to it and hit it over the fence. I've got to tip my cap to him.”

I recalled many post game interviews with Tom Seaver after he had given up a home run. He would talk about his mechanics failing him, or bad location or something he did or didn't do. But I don't think I ever heard him give credit to the batter for hitting a good pitch. (And if he did, it was few and far between)



And maybe that's why I like Jake more than I liked Tommy Terrific.

He's a mensch.

Mods - if you feel this is more appropriate to the Jacob DeGrom thread, please move it there.

[Edgy MD]

Tom Seaver credited batters plenty.
