Defense not great either.

Offense continues to be shit.

This would be a terrible loss.

My feelings on the City Connect jerseys are kinda mixed. I don't like City Connect jerseys that are a different color scheme than the team's actual colors. I think it dilutes the product (the team). Nothing is better than walking into a stadium and seeing a sea of red, or blue, or whatever color is the team's primary. But if you keep the same color scheme, then that limits your options. You get things like this Pirates jersey, or the Reds jersey, which just kinda looks like an alternate Reds uniform. Maybe I'd be more flexible on the color thing if they wore them less often. I think you have to focus on the city itself. So you remove anything that says "Pirates" or any sort of team logo. You're there to represent the city itself. And you have to figure out how to do that without looking like a cheesy airport shirt (don't just slap a picture of your tallest building), without being just a throwback jersey (using an old Negro League jersey is lame), and without being so obscure that you're constantly explaining it. And most of all, it should be a once in a while thing, not a regularly cycled alternate jersey. Maybe you have one City Connect week, or one City Connect homestand. Otherwise, you wear your traditional gear. They should be banned for the postseason, along with that stupid Strauss advertisement on the helmets.

ERod (does he go by that?) has a 0 ERA. No ER in 12 innings against the Dodgers and Braves. over his career he’s been not great.

Swing at ball 4. Ground into the DP. Pathetic effort today.

Scoring 6 here would make tonight a lot happier.

Also. Sean Manaea’s WHIP is around 1.80. So definitely not a candidate to take Peterson’s spot.

Yeah. Robert’s defense hasn’t been nearly near what was advertised.

It’s not just that he’s struggling. He looks overmatched. still. I think you have to give him 3 weeks minimum.

Well I guess if you’re not going to hit and not going to pitch and not going to catch the ball it’s best to do it all in one game.

Let’s get 3 back here.

Can’t win them all. But Peterson and the Mets don’t look competitive so far.

Peterson making it pretty clear that the problem last year wasn’t fatigue.

Get Manaea up.

Peterson not looking good. Again.

Also. Today will be the Mets 12th game of the season. They have yet to have a 7:10 pm start. I would think that has to be a record.

Relatively important start for Peterson coming off his last one. Two bad starts and you start thinking that last years Peterson is back.

Also, Sewald’s pitch selection was interesting. shook off the catcher twice, went with the fastball, then missed the target (high and out of the zone) and went middle middle.

That’s important. Also Mendoza said afterwards that Loaisiga is a ground ball pitcher, and obviously Vientos is double play candidate. Ballsy calls on both.

Edgy not the only one making good calls today. I didn’t agree with PH young for Vientos. Didn’t agree with PH Mauricio for Taylor. Both worked out great. also didn’t agree with PH Torrens on Sunday. Mendoza on a great streak. Me not so much.

Excellent work.

Ok Loaisiga is hittable. Let’s get him.

Disappointing for the bats to go so cold after a good road trip. Two chances to turn it around.

We could use a forum medical expert
