Rain forecast

[ashie62]

In an official rain delay

[metirish]

Could be a long wait ,although some brightness is trying to break through here in Pelham Bay

[Edgy MD]

Is the Sanitation Department's inclusion a newish thing?

[ashie62]

I saw a window to play around 9

[Edgy MD]

The game is on now, Ash. Ketel Marte strikes out to lead off.

Is that anything like a Ketel Mimosa or Ketel Bloody Mary?

An 0-2 pitch with too much plate gives the 'Backs the first run of the game, and they're still first-and-third.

[Edgy MD]

Mets answer a two with a three and counting!

[Frayed Knot]

That young boy do hit the ball hard when he connects.

[Edgy MD]

I stepped away for a minute. I was not expecting the Mets to swap pitchers.

[Frayed Knot]

We've hit balls a lot harder than the Snakes have tonight.

It would nice to have a bigger lead on account of it and not spend the next two innings being one pitch away from losing the lead.

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know, kinda like that.

[Edgy MD]

It would be wrong to make something out of Pavin Smith being named after golfer Corey Pavin, so I'm not going to do that.

[Frayed Knot]

PO, K, K from the middle of the lineup.

Our offensive juggernaut rolls on.

[Edgy MD]

Brent Strom likes to address his pitchers while sticking his finger in their faces.

[Edgy MD]

Wow! Big steal!

[Edgy MD]

Weak night for Roberto Ortíz. Unfortunately, the Mets put themselves in a position that they needed better from him.

[Edgy MD]

Bunt, Nimmo!

[Frayed Knot]

There's just ZERO faith that anyone on this entire team is going to come through with an important hit with a tying or go-ahead run on base.



Nimmo coming up with an attempt to prove me wrong.

[Frayed Knot]

Nope

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have scored more than four runs three times in their last 17 games (losing once and needing extras to win in another) and more than six runs just once.

[ashie62]

Oh well, they are doing their best.

We've had many discussions on the CPF as to whether or not there is something called "clutch".

But are we allowed to use the word "choke" because that's what they seem to do. Has anyone seen performance (BAwRISP VS BA) numbers that might prove this?



Later

[Frayed Knot]

It's not a case of hitters being either 'clutch' or 'choke', it's that they're simply not hitting enough in ANY situation. Look at the box stores (<4 RS 3 times in last 17 games) they're averaging about 3 RS/G on about a half dozen hits. Most of the HRs are solo nor because they don't know how to hit with men on base but because there so rarely are any.



I think we get so busy sometimes piling hate on whichever reliever gave the runs that particular day that we fail to note that nothing but perfection from each of them is good enough because we so rarely score following a few token runs by the 2nd inning.

Of course you are allowed to use the word "choke."
