Why is McLean out after only 4 innings?

He seemingly hit some sort of no-more-pitches-in-a-single-inning-than-this-many threshold in the fourth.

He was McMid

78 pitches thru 4, but more importantly, two of those four frames (1st & 4th) were 30+ pitches each and the 4th was a real slog.

[Frayed Knot]

That's five very disappointing ABs in a row beginning with the bases loaded/one out following the Mauricio IF single.

[Edgy MD]

Brazzy works fast.

At least, when he is feeling good, he does.

[Edgy MD]

Melendez, batting for Slater, will be your ninth-inning hero.

And Mauricio is out of the game. Jammed hand/wrist or something of that sort.

Gary mentions "finger" as the injured body part.

 

 

Meanwhile, eight straight NYM batters have gone down in a row.

[Edgy MD]

That "Let's make a no-chance challenge in the ninth because we might as well use it" move is bullshit.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We're in trouble

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kimmy

[Frayed Knot]

Q: Do you want to pitch to Trout or any other player who ever played for the Angels ever?

A: Not Trout

 

And so it's on to the clown car rules.

[Edgy MD]

Be a car full of angry clowns, Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, Halos, you burned your review in the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

Should've bunted, Bo.

(No, probably not.)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Dammit

[Frayed Knot]

For a team that's DFL in the entire major leagues in OBA [.290] the Mets have hit into a shit-ton of GiDPs (7th of 30 teams) ... and they've hit into their share of line-drive DPs too so far. 

[Centerfield]

This team can’t do anything right. 

[Edgy MD]

Turn three.

[Frayed Knot]

Mets have been shut out three times in seven ghost runner innings this season.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Terrified that Vientos was gonna try and make that catch

[Edgy MD]

Warren is burning fumes here.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Offs

[Edgy MD]

And there it is.

Zero walks on the night apart from the intentional jobbie to Soto in the tenth.

[Edgy MD]

If the Mets were still playing as shallow as they were for the sac fly, they might have gotten to that doink.

[Frayed Knot]

The Mets have now lost six of seven Nolan McLean starts this year despite him giving up 15 runs (13 earned) in 39.1 innings.

This is a problem.

[Fman99]

Mauricio out 6-ish weeks with a broken thumb. 

As my father and former little league coach advised me in 1981, don't slide into first, kids.
