IGT 5/29 Mets vs pesky Marlins 7:10 Peralta vs Meyer

[ashie62]

Max Meyer was a 2020 1st round pick who has had at least one surgery which cost him 2 seasons

He throws hard and has been spot on this season

Freddy Peralta will go for the good guys

Thursday is an off day for the Mets

LGM!

BA DA BING!

I didn't froget to tip the server.

 

Squish the fish, and leave the Marlins (pun intended) floundering. 

Later

Aaayy!

Jaayy!

[Edgy MD]

Bringing in the infield against Ewing with bases loaded in the first just turned a perfect DP-grounder into a two-run single.

And now it's in against Vientos?

[The Hot Corner]

The Mets score 2 first inning runs.  First and third with only one out.  

I am not accustomed to such occurences.

And if there's anyone you play for a GiDP against, it's Swaggy

[The Hot Corner]

Vientos - rally killer.

[Edgy MD]

Rally was wounded, but not dead.

[The Hot Corner]

Batty drives in 2 more runs after some poor defense by the Marlins.

[ashie62]

Ewing oil did his job

[metirish]

Four runs , a huge output for this team , let's go Mets 

[Edgy MD]

Getting 33 pitches out of Meyer is almost as gratifying as the four-run lead.

Also, Mendoza's stacking of the lineup with lefties paid off nicely in that inning.

[Lefty Specialist]

4  runs in an inning?  Is that allowed?

[The Hot Corner]

Benge wins that ABS challenge to get a walk.  I still don't think it was a wise challenge.  

[Frayed Knot]

Just in case you hadn't noticed, Caissie's at the bat

[Edgy MD]

Peralta in a hole with no visits available to him.

[Edgy MD]

Here's to 38-pitch innings.

They happen, but they've never been more of an anathema than they are in this age of pitch-counting.

[Edgy MD]

I'm under Vientos.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Vientos proves me wrong. I salute him!

Only if batters get credit for distance over frequency.

[The Hot Corner]

Going to be a lot of bullpen innings tonight.  Meyers with a 33 pitch inning (66 through 3) and now Peralta with a 38 pitch inning (65 through 3).

Vientos lives by the philosophy, swing hard because you might hit it.  That is his 7th HR with 38 Ks this season.  For his career that is HR 61 with 371 Ks.  Pair that with a .261 OBP this season and .290 OBP for his career and I don't think Vientos is the answer now or in the future.

[The Hot Corner]

The Marlins defense is a gift that just keeps giving.  It is almost like watching a Little League game.

[Frayed Knot]

Bad fielding AND bad defensive decision making by the Marlins tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Inability to get third outs undoes Wile E. Peralta.

[Edgy MD]

A.J. getting a game situation his second time out after 13 months off.

[Edgy MD]

SAVE by A.J.!

Now they just need four more saves in a row.
