IGT 5/14/17: NYM@MIL -- Jake It Off

[Edgy MD]

[Frayed Knot]

That was bigly, at least it was once he settled down after getting knocked around initially.

[Edgy MD]

T.J.'s triple was the softest hit of the inning to that point.

[Edgy MD]

It seems Terry is shy about using Robles, Montero, or Sewald in a game situation.

That's a lot of arms to bury.

[Edgy MD]

Sheesh, Thames as the tying run vs. Edgin.

Let's go, 66.

[Edgy MD]

I didn't see that pitch hit him.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We're in trubble

[Edgy MD]

Think of my heart.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Manny Pina just killed the 2017 Mets.

[ashie62]

Poop

[Edgy MD]

You go ahead and flip your bat, Manny Piña.

[Frayed Knot]

And on the day when we hit AND getting decent* starting pitching ... no one in the pen can get an out.






* decent, but not quite Good

[Frayed Knot]

The pen faced 15 batters and recorded 6 outs.

[Frayed Knot]

And add another 'loss in the other team's last AB' to the list.
Two of the last four losses have been of that variety, plus we had a whole bunch of those early in the year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I wish there were other easy answers but salas is very close to earning the Barry Manuel treatment. I hate to be a know it all because I don't know it all but that guy stunk of the "dead cat bounce" when we got him last season and I was shocked we were expecting more of the same this time through. My bench/bullpen rule of thumb is churn some every season.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Miserable series, miserable team, miserable me....

[metirish]

IN a season of shitty losses this was very shitty , vile from the Mets , even when they hit they manage to lose

[G-Fafif]

Holy fuck, that was awful.

[Centerfield]

No words really. Wondering how it got this bad.

[HahnSolo]

Nightmare flashbacks to the 2001(?) series at Miller Park that helped destroy that season.

[Fman99]

The Mets lost. I was sad.

[TransMonk]

It may take me a while to get over this series.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It feels like a window is closing.

It may be early, but I agree.

75 wins?

Yep. They can win 75 more. That'll be 91 for the season, which is probably good for a playoff spot.

Cast your vote!

[Guest cooby]

wow I just read that they lost a 7 run lead on this game. We can't even look forward to certain starters because the bullpen just blows

Yeah that only worked for Reyes and maybe Rennie Stennett

[Lefty Specialist]

Raise your hand if you thought going into Spring Training that the offense would be decent and the pitching would just flat-out suck in 2017.

[Guest cooby]

not I
