G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2025 Posted April 28, 2025 First-ever 19-5 win in Mets history.First Met save that encompassed five runs allowed.
metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2025 Posted April 28, 2025 This was a fun game to be at. Nats park is very pretty. Amed Rosario. Wow. The scoreboard had him at 41 mph on his last pitch to Pete. It was humorous as it tried to classify them at curveballs. His 50mph pitches showed up as sliders. When he busted out the 60mph heater, the scoreboard mocked it with a change up designation. Mays fans abounded in the park. My left field section (104) might've made Brandon blush when he came back onto the field after his 9th rbi. He's just a big sweetheart and is high among my list of favorite Mets.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2025 Posted April 28, 2025 It's a bit of a small sample as I only caught pieces of this whole WAS series but, while my feeling is that Muffy needs some smoothing out in his timing and delivery, the analysis part of his game is pretty good. I think he's every bit as good as Keith in talking about the mechanics and mindset of hitting (or at least is on the road to being so), plus is more apt to incorporate modern stats/ideas into his thinking rather than just falling back strictly on old skool BA/RBI type of stuff.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted April 28, 2025 Posted April 28, 2025 24 combined runs on 33 hits and, surprisingly, Only eight combined pitchers (several of whom were sacrificial lambs): 3:02 ToGHow long would this contest have taken prior to the speed-up rules? Lemme put it this way, it would probably still be going.The Average game [which is approximately nine runs scored combined] in the years just prior to the rule changes topped out at around 3:07
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 28, 2025 Posted April 28, 2025 Part of what kept the pace moving along is that the overturned calls were mostly so obviously and egregiously wrong that the replay umps in Chelsea were able to turn around the appeals really quick.My general experience was that high-scoring blowout games were rarely the long ones, because the lack of tension diminished the amount of strategic incursions, such as mound visits, mid-inning pitching changes, holding runners aggressively, grinding out at-bats, and the like.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted April 29, 2025 Posted April 29, 2025 A lead so big even Jose Urethra couldn't piss it away
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted April 29, 2025 Posted April 29, 2025 Well, that was a nice palate cleanser after the implosion on Sunday. Urena was hard to watch, though, and I imagine he'll be DFA'd this morning.

Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted April 29, 2025 Posted April 29, 2025 29 games into the season and the Mets' ERA is still just 2.62. Its ERA+ is 149. This team's pitching is astoundingly awesome so far. Only 14 home runs surrendered. They have five guys with ERA+s over 200, including the bane of my 2024 existence (one of them, at least), Reed Garrett.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted April 29, 2025 Posted April 29, 2025 A lot of well deserved Schaffer is going to be diluted.This is one of those games where we wish we had more than 10 points to distribute.Later
