IGT 5/10/26: Celebrating Mom in the Desert 4:10 ET

[seawolf17]

Looks like we've got Huascar Brazoban "opening" (this will never not be stupid) against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Rodriguez whooped us at Citi Field last month, in game two of the famous Twelve Game Losing Streak That Ruined Everything.

No lineups posted as of press time.

I forgot to assume that some combination of Peterson and Manaea are "following."

Also, Mets on getaway days in 2026: 2-7.

The two wins were the last game in San Fran back when we were good, and the last one in Anaheim or wherever the Angels technically call home now.

Opening is only a natural development in the evolution of the ever shortening workday of the American starting pitcher.

That's a doozy of a Mets lineup

 

[Edgy MD]

And, after eight warning-track outs to center last night, we open with a warning-track out to right.

[Edgy MD]

Three flyouts.

Well, in Mendoza's defense he has limited weapons to work with.

[Edgy MD]

Huascar Brazobán had been out of the game for over a batter before the scorebug changed the name to Myers.

And now Myers has demanded he be acknowledged by giving up a two-run double.

[ashie62]

Let's get a hit, ok?

[Frayed Knot]

Poll: Next Mets hit

- 5th inning?

- 6th inning?

- 8th inning?

- Wednesday?

[Frayed Knot]

So the first hard-hit ball is  grounder directly to the SS and it comes right on the heels of the 1st baserunner AND it comes with one out to make it an easy GiDP.

What are the odds?

[ashie62]

I believe we will see Ewing Reimer Clifford and Morabito if the Mets through in towel for experience 

You could use AJ Ewing soon in the attempt to get to .500

[Cowtipper]

Jeez Louise, this offense is anemic!!!11!111!

How about the 7th

[Edgy MD]

Find some grass, Mets hitters.

But boy Genuis said it was our defense. Boy Genius took a very good offense and dismantled it and left us no real improvement defensively and less offense. The problem was least of all our offense and not our defense but our pitching. Even us fans below our Boy Genius know that.

 

 

[Edgy MD]

This is the inning.

The bottom of the order is the key.

[Edgy MD]

Carson Benge, only lefty in the lineup, makes me look soothful.

[Frayed Knot]

Finally ... but one out so you know what's coming next.

 

 

Y'know, an RBI double

[Edgy MD]

And Torrens — from whom you could take away 75% of his hits by positioning a player on the right-field line — makes it official.

[Edgy MD]

Don't chase shit, AC.

[Radar]

What a roster Boy Genius has constructed. Oh, but a new manager would help this? 

[Radar]

Now that's great defense. Now remind me who are third basemen is?

[Edgy MD]

I don't know that a new manager would help.  I do know a new manager could help.

Does anybody, anywhere, actually call the Mets president "Boy Genius"?

Our.

Thanks. But we still suck.

[The Hot Corner]

Well, considering our pathetic offense, that 2 run double by Marte is pretty much game over.  I expect the Mets will likely have trouble getting 4 more hits in this game, let alone 4 runs.
