Mets lookiing to Even It Up vs Guardians - 8/5/25 IGT

[The Hot Corner]

Shut out watch gone as well.

[The Hot Corner]

Well, having a lead was nice while it lasted. Cleveland playing station to station, but they just keep getting hits.

I wonder if Holmes will get pulled from the rotation when Megill comes back.



What's troubling is the guy closest to being back is Paul Blackburn



This game is starting to look like last nights

[The Hot Corner]

I think Montas is at greater risk of losing his spot in the rotation upon Megill's return. I doubt Blackburn is much of a threat to take anyone's rotation spot. As bad as Montas has been, Blackburn has been even worse this season (looking at ERA & WHIP).

[The Hot Corner]

Nimmo is completely lost at the plate in this series.

[The Hot Corner]

Another game, another starting pitcher that can't get through (or is allowed to) get through 6 innings. For the Mets, virtually every game is a bullpen game of sorts.

[Gwreck]

Holmes had 75 pitches through 5 and was pulled! Unless he's on some sort of undisclosed pitch count/limit, I can't make sense of that decision.

Matt Festa threw one inning for the Mets in 2024 and gave up 5 runs.

In his one inning (so far) tonight the Mets don't get the ball out of the infield.

When you can't even hit Festa I think it's time to cry 'Uncle'

Knock that shit down, Jeff!

Sorry if i missed this elsewhere, but why does the grass look so shitty at Citi lately?

[The Hot Corner]

Cleveland demonstrating that if you just keep putting the ball in play, good things can happen. Three soft hit singles give them the lead.

The booth mentioned during the Giants series that it was due to a concert while the Mets were on their west coast trip.

[Frayed Knot]

The Guardians have six hits in this game, all singles.

But they're winning because they have three hits in the 4th to net two runs and now three consecutive hits in the 7th for another.

Limp Bizkit concert.



I mean, it's gotta be, right?

[The Hot Corner]

Meanwhile, the Phillies beat the Orioles 5-0.

[Frayed Knot]

Last Met to get the ball out of the infield was Lindor leading off the 5th.

[ashie62]

The Mets just won seven in a row. Looks like a different team

There's an expression "dull as watching grass grow."

This offense is so bad, we are now actually watching the grass.



Later

[Frayed Knot]

Gary: Shea Langeliers (of MIL) didn't get his 4th HR but he does have five hits tonight [and 13 total bases].

Me: The Mets have four [and five]

[roger_that]

Hard to blame Rogers for giving them the lead. Those were barely hits, off balls out of the strike zone.

[Centerfield]

Gwreck was right. Offense needed to be addressed.

[Frayed Knot]

Vogt going with his closer in the 9th in back to back games.

He should just use a position player instead, the result will be the same.

[Edgy MD]

If it comes down to Taylor against a righthander in the ninth, do you send up Baty, Mauricio, or Mullins.



Gotta be Ronny, right?

[The Hot Corner]

Rogers was definitely a victim of bad luck tonight. Cleveland though keeps putting the ball in play. They hit a lot of balls to the opposite field rather than swinging for the fences.

[The Hot Corner]

Hopefully, Smith is tired from last night. They have to lay off the high fastball. He blew the Mets away last night.



I'm hoping McNeil can get to him.

Thanks, HC

Francisco Álvarez, be mine tonight.

Double-plus ungood.
