So if you're going to get steamrolled 12-0 with 10 of those coming with two outs while the offense leaves 12 on base courtesy of going 1/12 w/RiSP (and even that one hit doesn't produce a run), you might as well choose to do all that on a day where other side is throwing their best starter and we're in the midst of (yet another) bullpen game.  Turn the page. 

Tonight's 7:10 start features another in a series of 'returns' for Kodai Senga who was slated to throw one more minor league game until circumstances dictated otherwise, Now I don't want to say that Kodai has been erratically available or anything but under the list of 'Last Seven Starts' in his BB-Ref page you notice that the first two of those seven are from last year and the most recent from April. Take a step outside, does it feel like April to you? ... didn't think so! So who knows what to expect, maybe "Pain" as in the words of Clubber Lang.  From the other side's dugout, the 6' 5" righty Brady Singer has been pitching regularly this year (as he has each season since his 2020 debut) just not particularly well as his 5.61 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, and 4-2/3 IP/S average will attest.

Lineups and, who knows, maybe five or six new roster moves, to follow.

I the Mets are going to need a lot of innings from the bullpen, as on most Senga starts.  Singe will likely look like a Cy Young contender against the Mets feeble line up.  There are far to many players in the Mets line up that are hitting below .225 with OBP below .300.  Team average of .229 with a team OBP .295 .  For the season, the Mets have struck out 592 times in 2401 at bats (24.66%).   

It's very hard to build a consistent offense around such ineptness.

That bullpen usage chart may become very useful with Senga starting.

This is Senga's sixth season with the Mets and at age 33 he just may be done

On the other hand I am pulling for reverse mojo here

Reds thru one inning: 4 runs, 2 HRs

Mets thru two innings: still seeking their first ball out of the infield

 

 

 

And, were being very, VERY stupid with ABS challenges, not just tonight but for maybe the last month or more.

Oh good, another bases-loaded AB. What are we, oh for the last six or something in these situations?

Actually, it was oh-for-seven. Now it's eight. At least this one was the first time getting it out of the infield but it comes with two outs so it wasn't helpful.  Imagine how poorly we'd fare if they were doing stuff like this against Good pitchers?

It's fascinating how two teams can play each other pretty close to even over the course of a series, while one team is outscoring the other 17-1.

Mark Vientos suddenly getting something done.

Maybe there's a law of conservation between him and Baty.  When one is productive, the other is utterly drained of skills.

Young and Melendez both got lifted against the lefty, but right now, Baty seems like the guy I would have liked to see pinch-hit for.
