A 3 run inning is a good inning, even if it could (should) have been better.

Well, they found five runs of offense, which eclipses the output in the Seattle series.



The Syracuse Mets went down 8-1, which is more like the Mets in Seattle. They lost to a guy named Brzykcy.

Yuck

You get the feeling that the OMG and Grimace fairy dust is wearing off, and this is what they really are as a team.



Not enough pitching, not enough hitting, not enough bullpen.

Unless he hits a home run on that first pitch. Or even a single. That would've gotten it done.



Again with the don't swing on the first pitch.

Is there another game today?

Reading Austin Adams' lips.

He better not be too cocky, he has an ERA near 4 and is barely an average pitcher.



Finishing up this game now.



Weak team.



Actually, I lied...weak pitching.



Check out the offense. Every primary starting position player, save for McNeil, has an OPS+ over 100, and McNeil is getting there. The team OPS+ is 110. Iglesias and Torrens also have great OPS+s.



The team is 6th in BA, 6th in OBP, 5th in SLG and 5th in OPS. And 6th in R. 6th in H. 2nd in 2B. 3rd in HR. 7th in BB. 5th in TB. The offense is really solid.



And the pitching isn't BAD, per se. Hard luck is more like it. They're 9th in the league in ERA, so it's not like they're at the bottom of the pile. The ERA+ is 96, which leaves a lot to be desired, but they're also 3rd in Ks, which is excellent.



If the pitching can put it all together for this last month-and-a-half, they'll make the playoffs. Not just that, they'll be formidable. But they need to coalesce, stay coalesced and perform consistently. The streakiness is not going to take them to the promised land.
