Athletics (Lopez) vs Mets (Senga): 4/11/26, 4:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

Besides the fact that it would stop a three-game losing streak, getting another strong start from Senga would be such a promising sign for the rest of the season.

Folks, start some In-Game Threads.  Don't leave it to the site managers to get it done.

I'd like to know what convinced Stearns that Polanco could be an everyday first baseman

Benge looks terrible 

 

 

[metirish]

Butler dumps one into LF and Benge casually misplays it allowing Butler to go to second , not a good start for him

Again, the Mets come out looking unprepared. 

[Edgy MD]

Heartbreaking to see Benge's head in his ass.

Probably not healthy for his head, either.

[Edgy MD]

Also kinda scary to see Senga have to hammer over to first to cover.

Stearns effs up on Polanco 

My boy Robert Jr is raking

Polanco, by hitting behind the runner, was a key in getting that run home.

[ashie62]

An effort of Polanco Robert and Bo Bo

[Edgy MD]

Marathon at-bat here by Cortes.

[ashie62]

Cortes was a 20th round Mets draftee in 2019

He passed to be a South Carolina Gamecock 

[Edgy MD]

Lindor also not particularly playing clear headed there.

[metirish]

Seems to have been some confusion on what looked like a likely DP Lindor doesn't go to the bag and Semien is forced to tag second and throw it to first 

 

2-1 A's 

[Edgy MD]

Benge walking up to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."

Motown is gonna end up owning a piece of Citi Field.

What on earth was he doing there 

[Edgy MD]

Mets need a road trip.

And a couple of guys need to taste some bench.

[Edgy MD]

Amazin' to see Vientos being the defender who is most on his toes and on his game.

And Senga has one foot in the shower here.

[Edgy MD]

"My mother got thrown out of a roller derby match.  She threw her shoe."

— Ron Darling, as the A's bury Senga

This game may be worth it just for that line.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Fuck this. 

[metirish]

Wow 3-run homer for Cortez , who previously had a great at-bat , terrible all around from the Mets today

[Edgy MD]

Bad Day for Senga, sure, but Mendoza should have known he was toast at least two batters ago, probably more.

[ashie62]

Mendoza is not going to get any slack this season

[Edgy MD]

Gotta hand it to Cortes, fouling off forkball after forkball. Senga had nothing after losing him.

How he lasted another turn through the lineup is another matter.
