I'm feeling a big Vientonight.



Enjoy this one because no game tomorrow and AppleTV Fri.

Nimmo with the rare day off. McNeil also sits.



Tough lefty on the hill.



Baty, though, plays.

[MFS62]

Every time I say that Marte isn't good anymore, he has a good game.

So, hoping the pattern holds, Marte sucks.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Baty has hit the ball hard against some lefties recently, so maybe they are trying to build on that, or maybe he is playing for his Metly life

[ashie62]

Almost seems like an unfair fight for Baty against the lefty fire baller. I'll go contrarian and say he has a good game tonight



I don't know what to make of Nimmo. He seems to have a lot of city miles on him. Maybe when the weather gets warm he starts to feel better



Did Francisco Alvarez already have his career year with the 25 homers? I hope as hell not. He still seems green in many ways with improvement to be had



LGM!!

[kcmets]

I think Baty is of getting the sink or swim treatment from the

team. I've also read there's rumblings they're not so happy that

Vientos isn't more of an offensive presence. Who knows, sometimes

these things all work out and sometimes there's a new face or two

here before you know it.

[ashie62]

Every time I think I have Baty or Vientos figured out things go off in a different direction

[ashie62]

There's a lot of hits up in Soto's hair to be had

[metirish]

I have a feeling Soto is going to explode tonight

[Frayed Knot]

Good news: Lindor gets on to start the game

Bad news: He hardly ever scores when this happens*





* Six 1st inning runs scored this season after reaching base 18 times including 9 singles & 4 doubles plus one walk

But four of those runs scored he had to drive in himself w/a HR. So in those other 14 times on base he's been driven in twice.



(now 19 times on, four self-driven in, 15 other times on/13 times stranded)

Yup

[Frayed Knot]

Bregman's got a bigger beef on that strike three call than Buehler did on last night's non-strike call.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, if nothing else, they've figured out how to get to 2nd on balls off the Monster.

Now they need to figure out how to get one across the plate.



0h-fer-five w/RiSP ... just in the first eight batters!!!

[Fman99]

Dogshit at bats there by Taylor and Acuna

[ashie62]

What a horrible couple of at bats. I mean wtf

[Frayed Knot]

I agree with the send even though it didn't work.

The way things are going, if you wait around for a clutch hit you might be waiting until mid-June.

Cooney playing himself to Syracuse.

[ashie62]

Brett Baty cares



The rest of them look like extras in "Lucky Lindor and the Plot against the Mets"

And not even a single ball out of the IF in those five ABs: PO, K, K, PO, GO

Fortunately Baty put an end to the run.

[kcmets]

Cy Megill through four! Score some runs NOWW!!!

[Frayed Knot]

9 Ks in the first 14 batters. Megilla's dealing!

Mr. Peebles must be so proud.

Oh, gee!

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

A good night for Good Tylor to show up. Props so far!

[Cowtipper]

Wow, he's doing well.

[Frayed Knot]

But then a shoulda-been-out IF 1B, a coulda-been-out IF 1B, and a HBP all to the bottom of the order guys and he doesn't even last the inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Gary: Tomorrow is an off day for the Mets

Me: Every day this week has been an off day for the Mets

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I confess I thought for sure that was going to be a grand slam.



Nice strikeout by Brazzy!
