'S alot of empty threatenin'.

[Edgy MD]

Eight LOBs in three innings.

Half a shlubbick and they'd be in this game.

[Edgy MD]

This may be the strandiest shutout game in Mets history.

[Edgy MD]

An even dozen LOBs on the game.

As individuals, they have stranded 28 teammates.

The Reds have struggled badly at the plate in their recent stretch and just lost their fifth consecutive series. I hope their bats stay dormant until the Mets leave town.

Oops.

Mets have 6 hits, the Reds have 7 ·⁶🤷⁷

[Edgy MD]

Indeed, the Reds have used four pitchers to the Mets three, as David Peterboro is on to finish the eighth, robbing the world of a Luis Torrens mound appearance.

[Edgy MD]

It would be a good night to get McLean a trip to the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Benge not showing me his ups.

The schedule is tightening. There really isn't room to lose 7 of 10 or something anymore

I want to be like "especially now that we're playing good teams" but fuck, everyone who plays us is better than we are so that doesn't mean anything.

[The Hot Corner]

The difference in this game is a microcosm of the Mets season.

The Reds with bases loaded draw a run scoring walk followed by a grand slam.

The Mets managed to load the bases on three occasions and not surprisingly failed to score.  The first time the Mets loaded the bases they produced an infield fly rule pop up to the shortstop followed by a strike out on a slider in the dirt to end the inning.  The next inning the Mets again have bases loaded with one out and they foul out to first baseman and fly out to right center to again leave the bases loaded.  But wait, there's more, they loaded the bases for a third time with one out, then proceed to strike out and hit a weak dribbler to second base to end yet another pathetically inept display of offensive futility.  

The Mets were 1-12 in RISP and even one hit, Bichette's clean single to left center did not score a run because Melendez paused half way to third base to watch the ball in the outfield.  Absolutely horrible, clueless base running which cost him a base and prevented him from scoring.

It is the continuous mental errors and bad fundamentals that make this team very difficult for me to watch.
