    Mets trying to see if they suck in all countries or just their own. Blue Jays, meanwhile, are just happy to see a team from somewhere other than Texas as they're currently riding a six-game losing streak [Astros x 2, Rangers x 4] all of it at home. All of which means that the team which was a play or two away from a WS championship on multiple occasions last October is now sitting in 3rd place in the AL East at 39 - 45 Game one: Monday 7:07 PM (I think that's 7:10 but altered by the exchange rate). Sean Manaea vs Trey Yesavage Yesavage, the big 22 y/o hard-throwing righty who made a splash during last year's post-season. He pitched six games last October, starting five, despite not making his ML debut until mid-September. He's pitching reasonably well this year with a 3.56 ERA in 11 starts. He's stingy with hits [6.1/9] and keeps the ball in the park [0.9 HR/9] but will walk more than his share [4.5/9] and his K-rate is down a chunk from last year [8.6/9 from 10.3 last year]

    And, oddly, one of the few who hasn't hit in the #4 slot is the team's leading HR hitter.

    Cubs failed to challenge a borderline pitch on a 3-2 count and bases-loaded/no-outs in the bottom of the 10th (looked like a strike to me). Don't know what they were thinking (or not thinking. They were up 4-2 at the time but of course 4-3 after the walk ... and they got away with it anyway!! The Brewers followed the bases-loaded gift walk with a shallow foul-out to LF and a GiDP. 4-3 Cubs is your final. They took 2 of 3 from the Brews in this series. Nats win, Marlins lose, Braves scoreless w/SFG in the 6th out on the left coast.

    Four runs scored with half of them coming on one swing (Ewing's PH 2R HR), So the other seven hits (six singles/one double) plus the eight walks and one Philly error all added up to just two runs and, unlike many Met games this year, there were no GiDPs, pick-offs, or caught stealings. No, today, instead of erasing runners today they just stranded 'em all. 2/16 w/RiSP and 14 LOB.

    Shortly after the start of the game Gary mentioned that, now that Eric Wagaman joined the fray, the Mets have now used 13 different clean-up hitters in 84 games this season. Do you want to know who the others were? Well I'm telling you anyway whether you want it or not. Mark Vientos (x 25); Jared Young (20); Luis Robert Jr. (10); Jorge Polanco (6); Bo Bichette (6); Brett Baty (5); Marcus Semien (3); Francisco Lindor (3); Francisco Alvarez (2); plus AJ Ewing, ML Melendez, Austin Slater, and Eric Wagaman once each.

    I had a feeling Torrens's failure to get to 2nd was going to come back to bite us. At least no GiDP though. Was probably 50/50 whether Luis would have been able to stretch out the double.
  7. Frayed Knot
    Chase Shugart chased. Now, if I heard correctly, they're bring Jim Backus as their next pitcher. I'm Lovie-ing it!
  8. Frayed Knot
    Mets have chased Luzardo. Now they have to see if they can Cchase Shugart.

    Are those for some specific threat or is that their normal Saturday exercise? A Boston win this afternoon makes it three in a row for the last place Sawx over the 1st place Yanx by a cumulative score of 16 - 5 [6 - 3, 6- 1 , 4 - 1] . They'll finish the series tomorrow on -- SURPRISE!! -- the national Sunday Night game.

    Triples by Lindor and Soto in consecutive innings ... Andy Green is a Genius!!!

    That's the Mets second four-run inning in their last 12 games which goes back to the start of the series vs Cincy. The other came in the lone win v the Reds when they won 9-1. Of course they only occasionally scored four in a game during that stretch.
  12. Frayed Knot
    Four straight balls to Young and now five straight to Vientos (he just happened to swing at one of them).
  13. Frayed Knot
    80+ pitches to get thru just 4-plus and dangerous LHBs coming up [Schwarber/Harper] ... it was the right move IMO and Minter's been gold since. retiring four of five with only the bloop single.
  14. Frayed Knot
    Yeah, that's what I have too. The issue with the NYM offense isn't when they score their runs but the run total itself. Their runs scored per 0 outs, 1 out, and 2 outs and consistent with MLB avg. But the pitching skews higher with two outs which means they're ALMOST getting out of innings without further damage but too often don't. During the last PHI series several of those 3R & GS homers came w/2 out. So just a couple of 2-out ABs converted into outs could have cut their runs against significantly.
  15. Frayed Knot
    MLB pitching as a whole allows 37.4% of runs with two outs. NYM pitchers give up 43.8% of their runs w/2 outs.
  16. Frayed Knot
    More two out runs. That's three of the four the Phils have scored in this series.
  17. Frayed Knot
    If so I doubt they'd be Connie's first farm animal. So if that loud-talking pitchman comes on again yelling at me to "Check My Socials" I might have to put my foot through the TV screen and kick him in the nads.
  18. Frayed Knot
    Nice 'bunt' Ewing. Now don't get picked off.
  19. Frayed Knot
    We're off and running. Crash Christian K's Trea T to start the game. Home Whites held hostage: Day # (I don't even know) K - BB - K - 1B - FO ... so not the cleanest of 1st innings, but a scoreless one.
  20. Frayed Knot
    Did you also see the game where he allowed four of the first eight batters he faced to score?
  21. Frayed Knot
    Sawx take second straight from Yanx at Fenway. They beat Schlittler 6-3 on Thursday and win 5-1 today. Oh, and Gary cribbed the above Phils/Meets 9th inning stats and used it in today's game. We know you're reading here Gary, don't even try to deny it.
  22. Frayed Knot
    Getting picked off twice doesn't help matters much. When you total six baserunners, don't give 1/3 of them back. OK, Ewing wasn't actually erased in one of them, but that's more luck than skill. And I believe all 'Thoughts on the Game' references need to be followed by at least four exclamation points. It's part of the bylaws or something.
  23. Frayed Knot
    The biggest problem is being named as a deified Met legend in the first place. Seven seasons: the first one was lousy, the final one was cut short, two others in the middle were curtailed by injuries to where they don't even add up to one full year. That leaves three full-(ish) years, one great, two very good. But, then again, the definition of legend gets a little fuzzy at times.
  24. Frayed Knot
    Not only was that fair by 8 or more inches, but I think it ticked Harper's glove as well.

    Barbarella says that the Mets have been sent by their government to find the weakness in Jhoan Duran
