NY Mets April 2017

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

For the life of me, I don't understand TC's logic....

Maybe I'm splitting hairs a bit here?

Reyes is a much better hitter when he bats from the right side against lefties and the numbers prove it....yet he's not in the game today with Gio on the mound for the Nats???

Instead he gives him a bunch of starts against righties knowing all to well he struggles badly when hitting from the left side.


WTF!!!

Ump is squeezing deGrom now....2 BB in the 4th...lots of strikes not being given.
Weiters rbi single scores Harper who walked...and went to third on Murphy's single.

Murphy now has 2 of their 4 hits...and later got thrown out by Grandy at home by trying to score from 2nd.

Nats lead 1-0.

Mets go down 1-2-3 in the 4th....and are still hitless.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

b2b 1 out doubles now by the Nats in the 5th...2-0.

So Cabrera has a thigh/hamstring injury..goes into the clubhouse between innings...and trainer ray ramirez gives him the okay to go back out there....and TC won't put Reyes in because it's an apparent mental day off for Jose??

The lunacy continues.

LOL at this team and "management"


3-0 now....zimmerman rbi single.....Harper has walked 3 times...

Pitch count for Jake is rising fast.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'll keep saying it if for nothing else than to vent and ease my own discontent.


This team is poorly coached and terribly mismanaged.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets are now hitless thru 5.....Gio has allowed just 2 walks.

TC doesn't seem too concerned.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

deGrom is now done after 5.2 innings.....10 K, 8 H, 6BB, 3 R....on 102 pitches.

Edgin in to face Harper w/ 2 on & 2 out...

....and he K's Bryce swinging on a low and in fastball.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pinch hitting in the 9 hole Reyes walks leading off the 6th.

Lagares breaks up Gio's no no with a line drive single up the middle...


LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cabrera rbi single plates Reyes......3-1 game.

Gio K's the side.


Onto the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Reyes in at 3rd...TJ moves to 2B.....
Robles pitches a decent inning.

Stretch time...Nats lead 3-1

Grandy leading off, pops out to left....and now Gio is done at 107 pitches.

Next 2 mets batters go down quietly against the Nats' reliever.

To the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Robles tosses a 1-2-3 8th...

Mets don't do crap with the bats ...they also go down 1-2-3.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go down 1-2-3 in the 9th

Nats win 3-1.

Pitiful.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Gonzalez, Nationals beat Mets 3-1 for 6th straight win

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Max Scherzer will take the mound for the Nationals on Sunday (8 p.m. ET on ESPN/WatchESPN), and Zack Wheeler will do so for the Mets. Scherzer is undefeated in his last 13 starts vs. NL East opponents, while Wheeler has six career losses against the Nationals.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

With 1 out, Daniel Murphy (anyone remember him?) strokes a grand slam over the right CF wall...(thanks again, sandy & jeff)
