[ashie62]

Defensively I would put Baty at 3B and Mauricio at 2B. I'm not entirely sure that Mauricio plays 2B but...

Vientos — three homers in three plate appearances.

[ashie62]

Like a V8 engine

[ashie62]

Hmm, I don't remember that cartoon at all



Mauricio gets a hit

[Frayed Knot]

We haven't exactly tattooed Elder in these last two starts, have we?

5 runs (4 earned) over 12 innings for a guy who otherwise has an ERA north of 6.00

[ashie62]

Peterson is spot on again. 8 K's through 5



He does remind me of Matlack. The same measured windup and effortless follow up

[ashie62]

Two walks in the 6th leads to two runs and Peterson's departure



Brooks Raley time

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Walks do in our pitchers time and time again.

[Frayed Knot]

Too many walks, a couple of non-calls on borderline pitches, a few soft hits, and a GiDP attempt that Mauricio/Baty were slightly slow to turn all contributed to the two tying runs.



Meanwhile the Mets have three hits thru 7, and nothing since two two-out singles in the 4th.

[ashie62]

But we do have a two out rally with Soto coming up after the pitching change

[Frayed Knot]

Good news: runners on base

Bad news: Soto up







I kid, I kid

[Frayed Knot]

I'd rather see Soto swinging 3-0 than Pete swinging 0-0 in that situation.

[ashie62]

Soto was perfectly happy to take a walk. The pitch on 3-0 looked ripe to hit



There's two outs meatball, swing

[ashie62]

Brooks Raley lifted with Acuna coming up. Brazoban is the choice.



I'd rather see Stanek or Garrett here

[ashie62]

Of course Acuna singles



I don't see Brazoban A's a high leverage guy

[ashie62]

Top 8



Hits and runs needed

[kcmets]

I guess this is about the time for things to unravel again...

[Frayed Knot]

This game is an example of non-clutch pitching.

In the 6th Peterson had three shots at closing out a scoreless inning and failed to get the 3rd out each time allowing two runs.

In the 8th Soto also had three shots to get the 3rd out and also allowed two before finally getting the fourth batter out.



Seven shots at keeping the inning scoreless and the hurlers went 1-for-7

[Frayed Knot]

So how many times have we said: 'Here's an opportunity for a BIG Juan Soto moment'?



And few, if any, times it's been answered.

[Frayed Knot]

OK, not the ultimate moment we would have liked, but nice two strike hitting and we'll take it!

[kcmets]

Juan Soto, Professional Hitter haha...

[ashie62]

I'm outside waiting for the miracle

[Frayed Knot]

Mets STILL have never swept a series at this ballpark since its 2017 opening.

[MFS62]

Not nasty enough.
