5/14/24 - The 'Why is this a Day Game?' IGT

[MFS62]

I can't watch, so I'm following the box score on Yahoo Sports.

Wendle reached on catcher's interference, but it wasn't counted as an at bat.(like a walk)

I never knew that.

Isn't catcher's interference an error?

Two-hit now, the Mets are 100% better than they were before.

[Centerfield]

A SECOND HIT.



In business now.

[Cowtipper]

Maybe they'll spoil us and even score a run.

[Cowtipper]

I still can't imagine they'll be this bad offensively all year long.

[Cowtipper]

You'd think they'd regress to the mean eventually.



Then again, they hit .238 last year, so maybe this is the mean.

The interference call was overturned.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

They miss Alvarez a lot, and I think they miss Mauricio as well.

[Edgy MD]

Kodai Senga is missed too.

[Cowtipper]

RGJ (Reed Garrett, Jr.) still sporting a 0.00 ERA.

[Centerfield]

The Mets don't hit and the pitching staff walks everyone.



I feel like Stearns was trying to get us to hate this team so we won't mind when he blows it up.

[Cowtipper]

Sean Reid-Foley is one of only 22 Mets relievers to start their season with no earned runs allowed through their first 10 appearances of a season.



^^still stands even though he just gave up a run.

Reid-Foley is no longer the man without an ERA.

[Edgy MD]

One more reason those walls up against the foul lines in the outfield are bad is that they force outfielders to put the breaks on when pursuing readily catchable flies.

Damn it, Brandon. Don't swing down 4-0 in the ninth.

[Cowtipper]

Well, it was fun while it lasted.



Without doing a deep dive, I think this is the first time in team history the Mets have had two pitchers with 10+ appearances and one or fewer earned runs allowed through the club's first 40 games.

[Cowtipper]

this club is bleak, dismal, morose and lugubrious.

[Edgy MD]

OK, Alonso on deck is the tying run.

[kcmets]

I got an idea, let's go down to Philly and get embarrassed some more!

[Cowtipper]

Mets shut out!



Also, parenthetically, the Mets have the highest payroll in the league at $308,681,514 and the third-highest active payroll at $209,903,946.

[Cowtipper]

Today's Player of the Game was Mr. Met.

[MFS62]

The offense is too terrible for a masochist to endure.

Later

[MFS62]

Joey Lucchesi will be brought up to start tomorrow because Houser warmed up to come into the game today.

Later

[MFS62]

Mark Vientos is being recalled.

No other moves announced.

and Yoenis Cespedes, too.

[Frayed Knot]

NYM pitchers: 8 walks plus a HBP (w/bags loaded natch)

Nola: three times went to a three-ball count



Nuff said

[Cowtipper]

Mark Vientos is being recalled. No other moves announced. Later

Wendle is being DFA'd it appears. Looks like Yohan Ramirez will also be DFA'd to make room for Lucchesi.
