IGT 7/11 Mets at KC Wacha Gonna' Do?

[MFS62]

Kodai Senga 7-3 1.47

Michael Wacha 4-9 3.83



8:10 PM



Later

[Fman99]

Will be happy to see Senga pitch again.

[Cowtipper]

We had Michael Wacha once and he sucked. He was good before, but he sucked with us. Well, now he's good again. Since leaving NY: 45-28, 3.72 ERA, 111 ERA+. With NY: 1-4, 6.62 ERA.

Wacha and Lugo were on the 2020 short season staff



Hoping for Senga and the Mets to come out of this start and series healthy and with at least two wins

[ashie62]

Nimmo 7

Lindor 6

Soto 9

Alonso 3

Vientos 5

McNeil 4

Mauricio 5

Torrens 2

Taylor 8



Senga 1

Rain delay

[Edgy MD]

This will be the third series in a row when the Mets match up with a former World Series opponent of theirs.

[whippoorwill]

I must be bleeding brain cells because I do not recall a Mets/KC World Series:(

[kcmets]

It was an easy one to block out:

Broadcast underway.



Steve Gelbs with the play-by-play tonight, and apparently for the weekend.

[kcmets]

I think things are about to start. At least they didn't drag it out

until 10:10 and then call it.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gelbs. Dammit

[Edgy MD]

I ain't sure, but given a draft, Bobby Witt, Jr. is pretty close to my first overall pick.

[Edgy MD]

Jonathan India don't look right without a Reds uni.



I guess Salvador Perez is the only veteran of the 2015 World Series out there.

[Edgy MD]

I fear Mauricio is going to get beaned.

[Frayed Knot]

Senga tip-toeing through tulips so far.

Five baserunners = zero runs but some luck and at'em balls were involved.

[Frayed Knot]

Bases juiced ... we need a HBP!!

[Edgy MD]

The Mets are making hard throws, and it appears because these Royals have a couple of guys that are capable of beating out routine grounders.

[Frayed Knot]

Whatever we do tonight, getting into a brawl is probably not a good idea.



Salvatore Perez: 6' 4" / 255

Vinny Pasquantino: 6' 3" / 245

Jac Caglianone: 6' 5" / 250





But Caglianone just got forked over by Senga

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Senga's ownership of Cagilanone paying dividends

[Frayed Knot]

Rave almost got on via that simple grounder. That would have been a crazy feeling.

The only team that scares me in a brawl is the Cards, because they have Stubby Clapp.

[Edgy MD]

Ronny Mauricio at third may end up being a thing.

[Edgy MD]

CARLOS MENDOZA: "You did a great job, Kodai. Pat yourself on the back. We're going to turn the game over to Alex Carillo."



KODAI SENGA: "Who the hell is that?"



CARLOS MENDOZA: "Not sure, to be honest."

[Edgy MD]

Pete is going to park one here.

[Edgy MD]

Or he is going to get parked.

[Edgy MD]

Somebody tell Nimmo how to keep a ball in front of him.

[Fman99]

I think Carillo is the first #84 in team history

[The Hot Corner]

Nimmo's gamble on that ball costs a run as Perez lumbers home from 1st base to tie the game. Field that ball on the hop and it's a single with Perez likely on second (or at worst third).
