Our starting pitcher deserves his first Met win, then a relaxing night's sleep.

Pretty much



Nimmo and Marte get the day off

[Edgy MD]

James McCann = Highest-paid player on the Orioles roster.

[ashie62]

Wow



Difficult season for Pete

[Edgy MD]

Well, a different approach by Alonso would certainly be better than the alternative, which would be the Mets refusing to put runners on in front of him.

[ashie62]

Can Quintana go 9



It might take that



Pete doesn't get on much either. Team slump

[Edgy MD]

McNulty either likes hitting in Baltimore or suddenly likes hitting leadoff.



Dang, Alonso worked the walk!

[ashie62]

Pete does walk. Bases loaded



Pitching change and maybe a pinch hitter for Stewart

[Edgy MD]

Mets opted not to pinch-hit a righty for Stewart, which I guess means Marte is on ice.



The other option — pinch-hitting Álvarez and putting Nimmo in the outfield — was also apparently unpalatable.

[ashie62]

I thought Mateo had an inside the parker

[ashie62]

Well at least everyone is getting service time today



Buck seemed determined not to use Nimmo or Marte today

[Edgy MD]

Another very good outing by Q-Tip.

[Edgy MD]

Only O runs coming on futzy defense and groundout RBIs.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, we got the tying run to the plate!



No double-play opportunity (at the current time) either!

[ashie62]

Now he uses Nimmo

[ashie62]

Whiffs



Done

[Edgy MD]

That was like trying to win a crew race without any oars.



Six days in a row.

[metirish]

I've watched very little Mets this past week , which sucks

[Frayed Knot]

A few random Thoughts on the Game!!!!



Balls hit to 3B right now are essentially a coin flip as to whether or not they'll be turned into an out.



At least this sweep, unlike the previous one, had the advantage of hurting the Yanx which is ... something.

He's getting an amount of run support that would make him jealous of Jake DeGrom.

Maybe, but at this point, it's not typical run support particular to a pitcher. It's just what the Mets offense is right now.



Hey, Happy 1000th post!!

[G-Fafif]

Big ups to Quintana, who's http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2023/08/06/empty-garden/doing the job he was hired to do by a team that no longer exists. He might be my favorite Met of the moment, though there isn't much competition.
