It's a 12:20 PM ET start. Chris Bassitt against Charlie Morton

https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-braves/2022/07/13/661505#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661505https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-braves/2022/07/13/661505#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=661505

Morton started the season poorly but has pitched well in his last 5 starts. Bassitt has been good but the Mets need him to be great today. My theory is that he pitches better with Max watching him. It's time for Pete to get his head out of his ass and mash. It's time for Escobar to wake the frig up. It's time to win this game and win the series.

Big Game Gaydar activated.



Often this year, the Mets have pleasantly surprised us even when they looked bad going in, like today does. What I'm saying is, today is the kind of situation the Mets biff seemingly 90% in any of the last six years, unless it's very early in the year (2020), or long after it matters anymore (2019). So not to put too much meaning on 1/162nds of a season, but this is why the Gaydar exists, and when we gotta believe yyybbb

Wow.



I think it's clear that we can kinda no longer hoping that Smith can find himself. We're at the point where we need it to happen.

Dom Smith's streak of 102 consecutive games with at least 1 plate appearance and 0 home runs is tied for 45th-longest in Mets history. The upper echelons of the list (per Baseball Reference's searchable Stathead) is littered mostly with Bud Harrelson types. Buddy has six streaks of more than 100 games games without a homer. A couple of names you wouldn't instinctively expect to see with longer steaks than Dom's include John Stearns (whose 46 HRs as a Met matches Dom's total) and young Wayne Garrett (though he blasted a World Series homer in the midst of that 1969-1970 regular-season void).



The point here: Dom really needs to go yard.

For a meaningful number of weeks there, the Mets had, like, five guys seemingly qualified to hit behind Alonso, and this lineup seems kind of like Buck's way of telling them they've all lost that status.



Hopefully that KABOOM! was Escobar's way of showing he got the message.

If Gary is mystified that Austin Riley (or Lindor or Nimmo or Taijuan) aren't All-Stars, it's because David Bednar and Joe Mantiply are due to that dopey, antiquated "every team" rule.

I'd be curious to see this list. Backman? Treviño?



John Valentin?

Also a lot of 1980 types.



Also interesting to see Justin Turner and recall the run that sealed his fate in new York. But no Valentin action.

The sixth inning is when reality punches Mets' starters in the nose.



Scherzer got punched in the seventh, but he's Max Scherzer.

Strange how if you dodge a tag on the way to first, but stay in the baseline, but your change of direction takes you out of the baseline a step later, you're safe.



Braves didn't even challenge.
