OMG, <90 min til game time IGT - Rays @ Mets 6/15

[Frayed Knot]

Griffin Canning vs Shane Baz (not to be confused with either movie director Baz Luhrmann or musician Boz Scaggs)



Shane Baz:26 y/o; R/R; former 1st round pick (12th overall) of the Pirates in 2017 out of HS

13 starts this season: 5-3, 4.97, 1.34

[ashie62]

Happy to see Acuna in the lineup without it having to be against a lefty. Maybe he can provide some spark

[ashie62]

Lindor DH

Nimmo 7

Soto 9

Alonso 3

McNeil 4

Taylor 8

Baty 5

Alvarez 2

Acuna 6





Canning 1

[The Hot Corner]

Not going well in the 2nd inning. TB small balling the Mets to death. Questionable defense walks and wild pitches are helping either.



Quickly in 3 run hole.

[Frayed Knot]

Nothing like 3 runs despite just one piece of solid contact by the offense ... and even that might not have happened had the (slightly) taller Lindor been out there instead of Acuna.

[Frayed Knot]

Pitches through 2 innings: Canning 46, Baz 24

And that's not going to help going forward either.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh good, more walks, missed cutoff men, and soft infield grounders for a run.

[metirish]

Come on Acuña

[metirish]

Like the weather this game is dreary

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta say, Baz's blond stache with the darker brown beard is an interesting look.

Mine was slightly like that but not nearly as big a contrast.

[Edgy MD]

Do not chase away, here, Alonso.

[The Hot Corner]

Basrs juiced for Pete. No go.

[Edgy MD]

He did not chase away, but they got him upstairs.

[Cowtipper]

Their current magic number is down to 89.



They can go 45-46 the rest of the way to be a 90-win team.



Team ERA still below 3 at 2.91.



The magic of AI has the Mets clinching the division somewhere between August 25 and September 26. If you wish to tighten that up a bit, it will be between September 15 and September 22.

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets need to get the offense cranked up.



I didn't travel 500 miles to see the Mets lose.

[metirish]

Not looking good, Hot Corner , bummer, they better wake up before Atlanta, pitching too

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have hit a bunch of warning track flies in this series.

[Edgy MD]

Little girl with the Mister Met stuffy has been the highlight of the game.



Lindor nearly topped that with a solo homer, but they need bezrunners.

[The Hot Corner]

Giving up 6 runs on 5 hits (without a HR) means the Mets have contributed to their deficit with walks, passed balls, and questionable defensive decisions. The Mets have only had one legitimate scoring threat. They are making Baz look like Cy Young.

[Centerfield]

This is the reverse of last weekend.

[Frayed Knot]

That was a replay review we hadn't seen before.

[Cowtipper]

Technically every replay review is one we haven't seen before.

[ashie62]

The girl in the OF pregame meeting Nimmo was sweet



No sweetness between the lines though. We may have seen the last of the "good" Canning for awhile

Through seven, I stand by this statement.

And this

[ashie62]

This girl was chubby and awkward which made it more endearing

[Cowtipper]

My grandma used Griffin Canning to store her vegetables during the Great Depression.

Caminero is going to be a problem age 21



Hell hath no fury like a horny chubby girl

[ashie62]

Jacob Young to pitch
