IGT 8/2 Mets vs Giants Senga vs Bullpen game 4:10

[ashie62]

The Mets won 6 in a row in early Junish and then went into a June swoon



They just won 7 in a row and are swooning again and would the baseball Gods cut this swoon short



Cedric Mullins makes his debut

[MFS62]

Both teams called the Polo Grounds their home.

Kai-Wei Teng 0-0

Kodai Senga 7-3 2.00



Later

[Frayed Knot]

McNeil woulda had it.











j/k

[Frayed Knot]

Looking at this Teng guy's numbers at AAA this season, he didn't give up many hits/inning (39 in 54 IP) but also walked a bunch (21)

He's been state-side since 2018 although prior to this season he hasn't had a lot of success aside from some early years in A-ball.

Guess we are looking at a reasonable chance that the team home run mark is equaled or exceeded during this homestand.

Probably a decent chance that he might have, considering that was a familiarity-with-the-ballpark kind of play.

[Frayed Knot]

Senga seems deathly afraid of pitching to Chapman since serving up two HRs to him in the game last week in SF.

He walked him twice today and both looked to be semi-intentional. He did it the second time with two outs and none on and got burned by it.

[Edgy MD]

How did Schmitt not get to that Nimmo grounder?



It looked like Mike Schmidt would be able to get to it.



Let us hear it for the squeeze!

Mets getting burned a lot lately after getting to two outs and nobody on.

[Frayed Knot]

Yes, but it's even worse when it's self-inflicted.







Meanwhile, another day, another four innings from the starter.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, but this is the post-deadline deep-bullpen Mets.



No Alex Carrillo expected.



For whatever that may be worth.

[Edgy MD]

Dom still looks like he carries around a lot of depression.

[Edgy MD]

Keith Hernandez had 10 sacrifice hits, two with the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Another hit gets past Schmitt.



Difference maker.

Hey! Tyler Rogers is on our side now!

[Frayed Knot]

Mullins HBP

He's a 'True Met' now.

[Edgy MD]

I thought the scoreboard wouldn't be able to handle 10 runs. That's a hard one to anticipate.

[Frayed Knot]

Tigers win!

It's starting to smell like 1st place around here.

[Frayed Knot]

That's the best double dive in sports since Sonny Liston.

[Edgy MD]

Phillies lost, so first place is within the Mets' grasp.

[Edgy MD]

Grant McCray — son of 1992 Met and minor-league wall-smasher Rodney.

[Frayed Knot]

He almost stranded the leadoff triple.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice to get the win and not have to use either of our closers.



Something is wrong with Senga; he's not throwing strikes and he throws the ghost fork so much that they're laying off it, because it's almost never a strike if you don't swing.

[Edgy MD]

Mets end a losing streak, move back into first, use six pitchers, but keep Diaz, Stanek, and Helsley in reserve for tomorrow.



A winning day.

McNeil robbed one that actually left the yard a few weeks ago. So yeah.

[Edgy MD]

We need a game thread, smashie.
