igt 4/16 Cookiepuss and another Tom vs. Arizona

[ashie62]

Carrasco was invented by Tom Carvel not to be confused with Tom Seaver.



I would advise that he stay away from soft serve offerings.

[The Hot Corner]

Great 1-2-3 first inning for Carrasco.

[The Hot Corner]

Cookie on cruise control through 3 innings.

[The Hot Corner]

Unfortunately, Gallen is also cruising through 3 for Arizona.

[The Hot Corner]

Carrasco gets into a 2nd & 3rd with no outs trouble. Then pitches out of with a pair of Ks and a fly out for the final out.



Solid pitching.

[Fman99]

Nice work by Cookie to get out of that jam in the previous inning.



On an unrelated topic, I still hate the digital ad on the mound. What an eye sore that is.

[Edgy MD]

I have to say, I ❤️ the way Showalter climbs the steps and glowers at the whole field when a Met gets hit by a pitch.



He squints through his sunglasses and pans around the infield thinking, "I know one of you kids threw that, and I'm gonna find out who."

[Fman99]

Cookie with 5 scoreless in the books and turning it over to the pen. Nice outing.

[Edgy MD]

And Joely getting in the act.

[The Hot Corner]

that one sounded good of Pete's bat. Unfortunately, he didn't quite get all of it and it's caught on the warning track to end the inning.

[Edgy MD]

Good appearance for Joely, but he gets knocked out in the beer inning.

[Fman99]

Well, farts

[ashie62]

Lugo goes poof.

[Edgy MD]

Lugo hasn't shown much so far in 2022.

[ashie62]

That was a major league play by Eduardo.



Yes, Lugo is underwhelming so far



Sore arm?

[ashie62]

What an effin mess. Yikes!

[The Hot Corner]

Great outing by Carrasco wasted by the bullpen. Hopefully the offense can come to life.

[Edgy MD]

Peralta is winning this game with his glove.

I realize that we had the abbreviated spring training and everything, but I tend to think the wasting of the great outing of a starting pitcher occurs when you pull him after 82 pitches.

[The Hot Corner]

The coddling of pitchers (particularly starters) is frustrating. Unfortunately, it is the way the game has evolved. Long gone are the days of pitchers going as long as their "stuff" allowed. The sad part, is that for all the pitch (inning) counting and heavy reliance on a squadron of relievers doesn't seem to have prevented injuries either.

[The Hot Corner]

KABOOM! Marte makes it a game again.

[Edgy MD]

MarteBOOM! and the Mets have finally dented the scoreboard.

[Edgy MD]

Ottavino got the strikeout but the ump called it on the wrong pitch.

[The Hot Corner]

Going to the bottom of the 9th down 3-2.



Mets will send Escobar-Cano-Smith to face Arizona RH closer Melancon

[Edgy MD]

Escobar should totally have Escobunted.

[Fman99]

Yah that's a shame. The bad inning by Loogs was the difference today.

[The Hot Corner]

Mlancon carves them up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. Damn it.

[Edgy MD]

Losing to the 'Backs. Poop.



First game they didn't lead in, too.

[kcmets]

Seth Lugo sucks bhmc, details at eleven.
