IGT 8/30 Sequel to Tong day Mets Marlins Peterson 4:10

[Frayed Knot]

Chicks dig the stand-up triple!

[The Hot Corner]

Lead off triple by McNeil to open the Mets 7th.



The Mets have to drive him in.

[Edgy MD]

Marte getting the beloved-veteran-off-the-bench treatment upon his introduction.

[Frayed Knot]

Is this (awful) Jon Cena rally video exclusive to the Mets or are there 29 other versions of it being played at stadiums not near you?

[The Hot Corner]

Two unproductive outs so it falls to Mullins who promptly lines out.



That was a painful, and very possibly a costly failure.

[Edgy MD]

Liam Hicks and his hot licks.

It certainly felt like an alliance of convenience.

[ashie62]

Missed most of this



Oops 11-8. Diaz fails

[The Hot Corner]

The Marlins get to Diaz to extend their lead to 11-8

[The Hot Corner]

Well, that did not go according to plan.

[The Hot Corner]

Mullins is tying run at the plate with 2 outs.

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets squander the momentum they had coming out of the sweep of the Phillies. Big game tomorrow as the Mets need to salvage a series split with the Marlins.

[ashie62]

Pitchers not named McLean or Peterson are having tough times



Sproat just may get a shot

[Frayed Knot]

There were a handful of disappointing ABs in those last couple innings. Not just bad results but what looked like bad approaches.

Vientos (twice), the 3-pitch K by Marte, and a few others.





On the plus side, the Braves just tied up the Phils in the 6th

[Gwreck]

I guess if the team's best starter and its best reliever are going to have crap outings, may as well have them on the same day.



The continued inability to put away bad teams is a real frustration.

[Edgy MD]

They will win by 10 tomorrow, I think. Or not.



My strategy in simulated baseball games was always to make sure, if I can't win, at least I get the tying run to the plate in the ninth. And they did that, but the dice roll didn't quite come up in the end. But hey, they've got six starters, and none of them are Montas. None of them are Blackburn. So tomorrow is looking good most days. I think they look good for the stretch run.

[Cowtipper]

Devenski has been such a solid asset this year. It makes no sense for him to constantly be shuffled up and down. He's a known commodity, yet they've treated him like a no-name Quadruple-A guy in how they've used him.



On the bright side, the offense is surging and for the first time in a long time they have a team batting average over .250. Alonso, McNeil, Lindor, Soto and Marte all have OPS+'s over 125; Nimmo is at 122. Alvarez is at 123. A good September could get them to 90 wins on the year.
