    Ummmmm, this game, and series, is at CitiField Tue - 7:10; Wed - 7:10, Thu- 1:10

    They're even challenging stupid today. Now, this could come down to a 9th inning situation and if the Mets wind up the victim of an Eric Gregg strike (a pitch in the LF batter's box to a RH batter) they'll have no recourse.

    Yeah, hits! Is a new manager going to wake up sleeping wood? In 27 games (#28 is in progress) they've scored two or fewer runs 13 times; three or fewer in 17; four or fewer in 20. Keep in mind that 4.5/G is around average. Any of that changing by booting Mendoza or is this just demanding bloodlust whether it accomplishes something or not?

    Four runs through 21 innings vs Rockies' pitching.

    Twice today NYM BBs have been changed into a K via the ABS challenge, and both were by maybe 1/8th of an inch.
  6. Frayed Knot
    Well, the Rox figured out how to turn two singles and a walk into a run. The Mets, OTOH, failed twice in the opening game to turn three runners within one inning into a run [BB, BB, 1B & 1B, 1B, BB]

    Mets strand a pair in the bottom of the 1st. No, this is not a cut-n-paste post from the earlier thread.
  8. Frayed Knot
    Senga through the 1st inning untouched. Soto singles with one out in the bottom half.
  9. Frayed Knot
    0-4 w/bases loaded and not a single fair ball hit [K, K, Foul Out, K]

    Robert employs his no-GiDP strategy too!

    In fairness to this HP ump, out of the five (of 7) overturned calls I believe all of them have been within one inch and at least two were just 0.1" one way or the other.

    The Mets, meanwhile, got three of their first four hitters on base ... and then just one of the next 18 with almost nothing hit hard aside from the solo HR

    And some RMPL

    McLean retired 8 of the first 9 he faced and picked off the one who did reach on just a soft single.. But starting with the 4th inning, he put down just 5 of the next 12 he faced allowing on four hits (all hard) plus two walks and the error. This has become a worrying mini-trend so far this season for him.

    What Gary Really needs to tap the brakes on is quoting a hitter's RiSP numbers as if it's a good predictive metric. And that goes double for Keith.

    Semien finds a way to avoid a GiDP
  18. Frayed Knot
    Colors: lighter use (under 20) or heavier use (20+) And Manaea threw 3.1 innings on Friday so 61 is only slightly high for that length.

    In a season full of expectations with a payroll so uncommonly high A hot start was needed to bolster emotions That it might be our time Then when Juan stroked a first inning single Before limping his way into third It was our very first clue, with the year still brand new And it was when we first heard Of the year of the calf When a dozen game losing streak followed With Mr. Smile also suddenly lame You wonder what we did, to deserve this skid Where they lose every game It clearly raised lots of questions How to score with their two big bats gone But don’t bother asking for explanations They’ll just have to plod on In the year of the calf Feel free to add verses if you got 'em

    Must have worked, the Sawx laid a 17-1 whoopin' on the O's today. Not sure if they had scored a combined 17 over their last dozen games prior to today. on edit: Not quite, but they scored 3 or fewer in eight of their last ten ... sounds like another team from the N.E.
  21. Frayed Knot
    Well, the Mets lost the first game of a series to the Giants earlier in the year and went on to take the series 3-1 They also recently lost the opening vs the Twins but still won that series 2-1 So there's no reason they can't win the final two at home against the Rox ... no reason that is except that we're missing our star player, and the starting pitching is often a mess, and the closer isn't closing well. And finally the part about them not being a particularly good team might also keep them from completing a DH sweep. But other than that ...

    Hey, people have died in bizarre gardening accidents.

    iow, Prednisone treats the symptoms but not the cause.
  24. Frayed Knot
    And our winning streak is over. More importantly, so is mine.
  25. Frayed Knot
    Weird game for Rockies batters: 15 Ks, 10 hits (9 of them singles and at least four of those softies). The biggest crime for NYM pitchers are the four walks issued.
