I got the idea that they were intending to use both this evening.

[Edgy MD]

Still one out.

I was hoping Stanek would go after Rogers. Helsley was bad last night and could be given the night off not to happen

[ashie62]

That was my first option

[ashie62]

Well done, boo

[metirish]

Looks like the arse has truly fallen out of the Mets

[ashie62]

You can believe you have a well constructed roster but the results say otherwise

[Frayed Knot]

Not only should Ringo have been brought in to throw the first pitch tonight, he should have been brought in to pitch.

Could scarcely have done worse.

[kcmets]

What a fucking miserable last fifteen days.

[metirish]

I don't know if I've disliked a Mets team of recent vintage as much as this one

[Frayed Knot]

Mariners bullpen: retired all nine Mets they've faced



NYM pen: retired 6 of the 14 batters they faced*



*and now 6 of 15

[ashie62]

Soto should have had that

Both catchers are wearing teal colored gear. I don't get it. Players Weekend colors?

[Frayed Knot]

15 hits by the Mariners, 10 for extra bases

Three different Mariners each have two doubles.

[Edgy MD]

I know the Mets will someday win again. Probably not a game featuring Ryan Helsley, but they will win again, somehow.



I know it. I just cannot feel it.

[Frayed Knot]

Five of the six NYM pitchers have given up a run or runs [4, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1].

The only unscathed is Stanek who faced just one batter.

[Edgy MD]

Three runs help.



To bad Mauricio went down on three pitches. It seemed like a good time to pinch-hit Baty.

[Frayed Knot]

Big hit by Alvarez but, right now, I refuse to allow myself to Believe or Imagine.

[Frayed Knot]

I have a feeling this Matt Brash guy has a lot of confidence.

[Edgy MD]

Man, Brash's slider/fastball combo looks like peak Diaz.

[Frayed Knot]

Nine Mariner doubles tonight.

Do the Mets have nine doubles in August?

[Edgy MD]

Well, I am happy to see Brash out of the game. He was frightening.

[Frayed Knot]

So I'm thinking: leadoff soto HR from Solo, and then 1-2-3 to end one run short.

[Edgy MD]

OK, so this guy has a slider, too.



Just get on base, Zimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Freeky game. Raley's worst showing since forever.

[Frayed Knot]

You feel like that when the Mets are up by two they're actually down by three.

[MFS62]

These debacles can in part be traced to the overworking of the bullpen, which we've commented on throughout this season. The chickens have come home to roost, and they're laying a big, fat egg.

The good news is, they've started to hit.

Later
