It's a slim lead ... not a sure deal by any means. -
18 in a row retired by NYM pitchers. Looks like we did get rid of the belly itchers after all.
-
I don't overturn this one ... and they don't.
-
Mauricio is such a tantalizing talent.
-
3rd inning: one out baserunner .... followed by 1st pitch GiDP 4th inning: two leadoff baserunners ... K, K, BB, ? ... F-9 Semien's bases-loaded drive didn't send Adell rolling deep enough.
-
Well, one of the Mets finally managed to get the ball out of the infield. Unfortunately it was Alvarez when he had his equipment on rather than his batting helmet.
-
A run would be nice, but I'd settle for a hit right now (don't want to get greedy), or, failing that, a ball out of the infield would be nice.
-
Six NYM outs on 21 pitches.
-
This is the second game in a row now where Christian Scott sought to be a pitcher but, was in fact, a belly itcher.
-
Perhaps posting at 6AM following a night of poor sleep wasn't my best move of the week. Probably not even in my top five.
-
I fail to see a connection between believing in the roster and the state of Polanco's injury/recovery.

Do you not have faith?

The Angles, 12-20 on the season, losers of 10 of their last 11 and coming off a sweep at the hands of the frggin' White Sox, play host to the 10-21 Mets -- losers of, well a lot, but it's too depressing for me to count -- for the weekend. 9:38 is the scheduled first pitch time for youse east-coasters which, just a few years ago, meant a probable final pitch time sliding towards One AM, but now it might even sneak in just prior to the witching hour. Nolan McLean gets the start as he continues his quest to see how many games he can lose (or, at least, not win) with a sub-3.00 ERA, aka: the Jacob deGrom award. Reid Detmers, a LH 1st round draft pick (10th overall in 2020 out of U. of Louisville) takes the hill for LAA. Currently 1-2; 4.48; 1.09 WHIP Prediction: (to quote the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn) the forecast calls for pain
-
I hear Alex Cora is available. More 2009 NYM action.
-
Mauricio sets an ML record for swinging and missing at the 17th pitch that was at least one foot out of the strike zone in the same game.
-
How quickly can you get to the park?
-
And the 9th inning in Atlanta lasts two batters: leadoff walk, walk-off HR (Matt Olson) Since the trade/signing to replace Freddie Freeman, Olson hasn't missed a single game with the Braves and has 155 HRs in five-plus seasons, averaging 36.5 HR/yr with an 859/135 OPS/OPS+. It makes one wonder what color the sky is in a world where that happens for your team. In other news, water is wet.

The beat writers would be complaining that he was canned as a time inconvenient to the eastern time zone.

In Atlanta it's still 3-2 but with Skubal now out after 7. The reliever gets the first two outs in the 8th then gets Dom Smith to a 1-2 count and appears to crease the outside corner with Strike 3. But the ump calls it a ball and the Tigers do NOT opt to challenge. Then, with the count 3-2, Dom is calls out on strikes but he DOES challenge it and wins so he's on 1st. Acuna then walks also so it's 1st & 2nd with C Drake Baldwin up who .... finally grounds out to end the inning on a 10-pitch AB so it's on to the 9th. I was sure the Tigers were going to get burned on their non-challenge but they survived.
-
Well, Gary & Murph debated whether Peterson loading the bases was going to be his last batter. But he was left in and promptly issued his third walk of the inning (this one with bases loaded) and that's when Mendy called for Manaea. That's why I said above that Mendoza could be blamed for both pulling Peterson too early and sticking with him too long. Both options turned out to be lousy.
-
Y'know it's not required to wait around for me to start TWIB threads. Anyone can start one, the only rule is that they run from Monday thru Sunday. Meanwhile, the Tigers lead 3-2 after six with Skubal still in there dealing.
-
Bad challenge by the Mets Aaaaaaannnd it seemingly took them about 20 minutes to review it.
-
Sometimes in the same game!
-
Gary, btw, turns 68 today for those who were wondering [Ronnie turns 66 later this summer, Keith 74 in October]*. His Wikipedia page is fairly thin, but looking through it I stumbled across one 'Huh!' moment: that while at Columbia he occasionally broadcast their soccer games along with fellow student George Stephanopolous. * and Murph is 41
-
So today Mendoza can be blamed Both for leaving Peterson in too long and for pulling him too soon.
