IGT 6/21 Mets @ Colt 45's, Game Three

Shite is going to hit the fan sooner rather than later

Starting with the Toronto series on June 2nd, the Mets have lost games by: 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3 (but in 10 innings), 7 (1st game of Pitt series), 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, and 2 runs

They mixed just four wins among those games by 4, 1 (10), 5, and 10 runs, so they've gone 4 - 13 with a -2 run differential.

And except for the blowout to the Pirates they've played justbadenough to lose each time and had tying or winning runners and hitters up in the 9th in most of

them but failed every time.

That condition is treated with either the Heimlich Maneuver or a personnel transplant.

Many of those games, they could have tied or gone ahead if just one specific at-bat turned out different.



In this game, there were nine or 10 at-bats that failed them. I'm sure some team in history has more deserved to lose a game and still managed to win, but apart from leftfielder Corey Julks (among others), this was a terrible effort by The Astros.



And somehow, a demonstrably worse effort by the Mets.



Also, it was a game that really showcased some of the downside of the nu ruelz.

Scoring 7-8 runs and losing is the worst. How bad is this pitching staff ?

Walker got an error on his crappy shovel pass, but somehow Ottavino didn't on his.
