And then when he reached base, they pinch-ran for him, which tells you how much I know. Apparently, he's a bigger liability after getting to first than he is in the batter's box, relatively speaking. And then when they pinch ran for him I said he's gonna steal. And he didn't. And when he didn't I said well what's the point of pinch running then. Then he scored on the double.

    Reversion to the mean!!!

    On the bright side. Would have killed for 5-3 given this pitching matchup.

    Brazoban still has pretty good overall stats. So maybe it's possible he regains his form. But check out these numbers. ERA in June: 13.50 ERA last 15 days: 24.75 ERA this past week: 108.00 He's walked ten batters and given up five hits over his last 4 IP. That's a WHIP of 3.75. In his last 12 appearances dating back to May 23, he's been scored upon in 7 of those appearances. So yeah, this guy's been lost for over a month.

    The Phillies fell behind 5-0 early. Fought back to claw within 6-4. They had the tying runs in scoring position and Kyle Schwarber at the plate. They still lost, but showed some toughness and fought back. Think of the last time the Mets did anything close to this. Like every game during this stretch, the Mets respond to falling behind by falling further behind.

It hardly even qualified as a stretch, so much as an instant collapse. Almost cause-and-effect. Five runs before recording a single out.

    These fucking walks. Every single pitcher.

    Mets offense. 0 for 6. 3 strikeouts.

    I feel like the Mets have been trailing for three weeks straight.

    I don't get that lineup. Why is Marte in the 2 spot?

So here's the question. Why? Is it all just random? Why were the Mets, who were terrible with RISP through May, also terrible in June?

Blackburn: his beard Brazoban: his haircut Alvarez: his designer eye black Vientos: some of his swagger (it doesn't carry over from last season ... ya gotta earn it) Vientos. We know the talent is there. He needs to clear his head and just focus on hitting the ball hard. Like McNeil. Suggestion: a live chicken. Alvarez. Has already sacrificed his spot on the big league team. Brazoban. Has reverted to the 2024 version. Needs to sacrifice his high leverage status until he finds it again. Blackburn. I'd be fine to just sacrifice him outright.

    Beyond the numbers with RISP, my original complaint in this thread is that this Mets team simply does not fight back after being behind. They’ve overcome a 3 run lead exactly once. That was against Miami in the second series of the year. Outside of that game, every other team that’s built a 3 run lead at any point in the game has gone on to win. Basically once behind, the Mets fold. So the idea that they might come back today after falling behind 5-0 is even more far fetched than it would be normally. In many cases, like today, not only do they not come back, they fall even further behind (outscored 3-1 after the 5 run outburst). There’s no such thing as a clutch hitter. But this team has failed to hit in the clutch. There’s probably no such thing as a “fight back” player. But this team has not fought back all year long. And it’s now half a season.

    We’ve been noting the poor OPS with RISP for just over a month. And though we all thought it would even out toward their overall OPS it’s stayed terrible. So the question becomes at what point does this thing, which is usually randomness and bad luck, actually become a thing? I still think it will even out. But I’m getting sick of waiting.

    They're a good team. Not as good as the team that started the season but still good. They've lost Minter, Young, Senga, Megill, Canning, and Kranick. No one can lose that many arms and not take a hit. They've also added Blackburn which is a negative. Offensively they are a middle of the pack offense. Which is disappointing given their potential to be much more.

I hate that they'll use this as an excuse for the poor performance when the reality is that he's just a terrible pitcher.

    Terrible job by Peterson. But yet again the offense does nothing to give the team even a chance to win. Never seen a good team have such little resolve.

    =Centerfield post_id=196533 time=1751068000 user_id=65] We'll see if this team has any fight to them. Their history suggests no.

    I wonder if he's tipping pitches. How is he this bad all of a sudden.
