IGT 4/7/2025 (#10): MIA@NYM — Take the Fifth

[G-Fafif]

Mets attempt to grow their winning streak to five versus the eternally pesky pesci, 7:10 on SNY. Senga on the mound for the homestanding New Yorkers. A yet to be announced Marlin pitcher who's not Alcantra (paternity leave) will oppose Kodai's bat-wielding teammates.

[Fman99]

I'm happy to have a Monday game immediately following a weekend sweep. Keep it all rolling positively, says I

[Gwreck]

In a curious scheduling quirk, the Mets play on Monday for each of the first 9 weeks of the season. The first. Monday they're off isn't until June.

[G-Fafif]

Lindor SS

Soto RF

Alonso 1B

Nimmo LF

Vientos 3B

Winker DH

Taylor CF

Acuña 2B

Senger C



Senga RHP

[Benjamin Grimm]

I see we're getting that eagerly awaited Senga-Senger battery!



What's the prognosis on Torrens? It appears he's available if needed, as we saw a couple of days ago.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Low 40s tonight, will be an uncomfortable one

[kcmets]

I'm cold just reading this:



Corona, New York (NOAA)



Tonight—A 40 percent chance of light rain, mainly before midnight.

Patchy fog after 8pm. Otherwise, cloudy, with a steady temperature

around 42. Northeast wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable.

[MFS62]

Aren't those the kind of conditions in which Paul Wilson hurt his arm?

That scares me when we have a Faberge egg like Senga pitching.

Later

[G-Fafif]

Righty Valente Bellozo starts for the Fish tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos, Baty, and Siri are a combined 7-for-75 ... jus' sayin'

That four of those seven hits are doubles is of little consolation.

[ashie62]

Senga struggling, nothing new

[roger_that]

Eventually the Mets are going to load the bases with two outs and Jack one out.



I said "eventually"!

[ashie62]

Soto my man!!



1-0 Mets

[ashie62]

Poor Gelbs, he is so overmatched but he tries like heck

[ashie62]

Pete flashing the leather

[roger_that]

Soto on base all ten games!



Has anyone mentioned what the record(s) is/are? Mets' record? NL record? MLB record? Record for most consecutive games, start of a season? Record for most consecutive games, player joining new team?

[Centerfield]

Every night. Anemic offense.

[The Hot Corner]

Damn. Lindor & Soto reach to open the inning. Pete GIDP and weak chopper to second on first pitch end the promising inning.



Senga finished after 5 innings.

5 shutout innings, but not what I'd call strong shutout innings.



Danny Young? Really? Well, I guess he's got to get that 7.71 ERA down sometime. Vientos bobbles a 5-3 to start the 6th.



Blue calling some borderline pitches Young's way.



Tomorrow's game has been moved up from 7:10 to 4:10. It must be chilly in NYC.

They just announced in the park that tomorrow's start time has been moved up to 4:10 PM.

I always figure that the Mets' attitude should be "Yeah, we don't like the cold, but the Florida players must HATE it."

[Lefty Specialist]

This team really can't hit.

[Fman99]

That's a nice pick by El Butto

[Lefty Specialist]

But they CAN pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

That's what now tonight, two GiDPs, one CS, plus a pickoff?

Pitching gets easier when you only need to retire 17 hitters to get 21 outs.

[Centerfield]

Come on Pete. Lefty on the mound.

[Centerfield]

Nimmo looking to set a record for LOB

[Gwreck]

Soto is…not that fast. Not Vientos-slow, but not that fast.
