Mets need more hit batsmen.

[Edgy MD]

So the new Marlins mascot is ... a giant Cheez-it? Spider-Man's arch-enemy The Wall? A big Cuban sandwich?

We've hit the 2-1/2 hours mark and there is one out in the 6th inning.

During Ronnie & Keith's day (I picked 1985 for no particular reason) 1/4 of their games were already over by this point.

The 2021 Mets have TWO (9-inning) games under 2:30

The booth seems to think it's Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

[Edgy MD]

With healthy wheels, McNeil ought to be scoring on that error.

[Frayed Knot]

Since a hit here is too much to ask for, I'm beseeching the baseball Gods for three straight BBs/HBPs

Why can't SNY use a scoring widget that has not only the pitcher/pitch count but also the batter and his stats? The MFYs have it.

[Edgy MD]

Talking about the length of the game, but it seems like most of it was the bottom of the third.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hey look. Another error

[Edgy MD]

Mets take the lead thanks to the power of Jazz & Pop.

[bmfc1]

Have the Mets hit 85% b/c I don't see any masks in the dugout (other than the bat boy)? Perhaps Desantis confiscated them.



To be clear that's 85% vaccinated, not 85% of the double plays in MLB this season, that one's obvious.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice to see the opening pitches of the 7th inning slide in just under the 3 hour mark.

[Edgy MD]

May's looked terrific, but two guys have managed to hit their way on in an unlikely manner.



I had been hoping against hope that the Mets would open the next inning with him, but that's not going to happen.

[Fman99]

That's a big bad ass K there by May.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe Jazz is supposed to be a secondbaseman after all.

[Fman99]

Clutch knock by JD Davis! Ceets was just saying on our podcast that he needs to be in the lineup more

There's a bunch of decals of this guy on the right field wall, too.



Gotta hand it to the Marlins. They do weird shit, but they go all-in on it.

[Fman99]

Brad Hand with the seriously goofy looking mustache. Are you here to pitch, or fix the copier?

[Edgy MD]

Eric Clapton isn't scheduled to perform, but Slow Hand is putting on a show.

Clapton would perform in Florida because vacc and mask mandates are not allowed.

[Frayed Knot]

So, whatta ya figure, this game is 60% in the bag at this point? 70?

[bmfc1]

3:59 but worth it for a win.

[Edgy MD]

100% now.



Phillies getting destroyed so the Mets gain on them. They also catch St. Louis in the Wild Card race provided the Dodgers close the deal.

[G-Fafif]

The first game the Mets have ever played in which they've notched precisely 9 runs, 6 hits, 3 errors.

[Edgy MD]

Dodgers win. Mets catch the Cards. Albert Pujols hits his 679th career homer in his old haunts.

J.D. Davis? WHERE ARE YOU Who do you want to sit? Villar? Baez? Lindor? McNeil, and put Davis in left? Pillar, and put Conforto in center? Suggestions please.

specifics io the podcast: https://www.barleyprose.com/podcast/mets-on-tap-episode-23/https://www.barleyprose.com/podcast/mets-on-tap-episode-23/



but essentially, yeah, put Davis in left and figure it out. The only player on the Mets with a higher wRC+ is Nimmo and we just basically lost him.

They're playing Smith out there, who's come along a little bit, but not enough and he also doesn't hit. You could spot sit Báez, though the drop-off from Davis to him isn't as stark as to Pillar or Smith or McNeil. It's working okay against these garbage teams, but the Mets desperately need the added offense.



But yes, some of this is a product of not having the foresight to play Davis in LF in the minors when he was rehabbing this injury. Or, you know, signing Springer.
