NY Mets ~~ August 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final:
3-2 Doyers
G'nite.....Drive safe.
Mets now 6 GB.....and 2 below .500

Rojas shrugs like a puto pendejo.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Big shocker another day...another buck short.
Mets now 6 GB.....and 2 below .500.
The division is probably lost and any wild card possibility is likely done now at this point.
All about the dog days...and who barked and who got bitten.

It's getting real close to that time to stick the fork in this shit, and if Rojas is back for a 3rd season at the helm there needs to be a reckoning and a massive fan uprising to mutiny against it.

Like I said a few days ago.....HP umps have no mercy at all for slumping hitters and struggling teams.

Mets' frustration reaches surface in LA

LOS ANGELES -- Jeff McNeil tossed his bat over his shoulder as he slammed down his fist, disgusted by umpire Nestor Ceja’s call. With the potential tying runs in scoring position in the eighth inning at Dodger Stadium on Friday, Ceja had rung up McNeil on a pitch that appeared

Mets Saturday Lineup @ Dodgers (Scherzer)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well that didn't take long.
Turner & Pujols went deep in the 1st.
2-0 LA.

Nimmo doubled to lead off the game for NY in the top half...but was of course left stranded there.




Bottom of the 3rd now.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LA put up another run in the 4th with another solo HR.

3-0 heading to the 5th.

Mets have had a baserunner reach 2nd base in all 4 innings so far...but haven't been able to bring any runs home.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets are on the board in the 5th on Nimmo's 2 out HR (he's now 3-3).
He now has 3/4 of the cycle.....needs a triple.

Mets then loaded the bases on Scherzer (103 pitches now ), but JD Davis K'd to end it.



3-1 mid 5th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

How many times it happens is mind boggling.
When 1 team leaves the bases loaded, the other tram almost always loads them up right afterwards.

Castro has already given up a single and then b2b walks in the 6th......still no outs.

Edit...
He just walking in a run....now 4-1 LA....still no outs....(3 consecutive walks now)

Familia is coming in.....

I wish I were making this shit up.....but I ain't.....cuz Rojas/Mets.

Earth to Steve Cohen......
Are you watching this crap, Mr. owner??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Familia worked out if that jam he inherited unscathed.

4-1 LA after 6.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete's 2 run blast in the 7th gets the Mets a run closer.
4-3 at the stretch.

Aaron Loup coming in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets come up a buck short in LA for the 2nd straight game.
They had the tying run on 2nd with 1 out in the 9th.

Final 4-3



Now 3 under .500 & probably 7 GB in a few hrs from now.

Rojas shrugged.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'll just leave these here...

Bases-loaded chance remains vexing

LOS ANGELES -- For the second time in as many games on Saturday, J.D. Davis found himself batting with the bases loaded and two outs in a winnable game. On Friday night, Davis had struck out in that spot to end the Mets’ most promising rally. The following afternoon, he

Soon...
The Mets had a star-studded matchup at Dodger Stadium, at least before the game, when pitcher Noah Syndergaard (Tommy John surgery) and shorstop Francisco Lindor (right oblique strain) faced each other in live batting practice. Syndergaard threw 20 pitches to Lindor and INF Luis Guillorme. Lindor could return to the lineup as early as Sunday.
Mets INF Javier Baez (back spasms) could be activated as early as Sunday.


Up Next...
Mets RHP Marcus Stroman (8-12, 2.84) is tied for ninth in MLB in ERA. He struck out a career-high nine batters in his last outing and gave up three runs and five hits in seven innings in a loss to the Giants, will start the series finale for NY on Sunday to end the road trip. He'll oppose LHP David Price (4-1, 3.62) who is 0-1 with a 3.62 ERA in 11 starts this season and 4-0 with a 3.63 ERA in 21 relief appearances. He'll be facing the Mets for just the second time in his career.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Actions speak louder than words.
Just TCOB on the field during games...and stop all the talk and the 2nd guessing.

Owning up: Lindor says Cohen criticism is just

Francisco Lindor, who is hitting .228 with 11 homers this season, said he and the rest of his teammates "haven't really hit all year long" and that "I haven't done what I'm here to do."

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

*Rojas putting Davis in the cleanup spot is lunacy & hilarity....but I really hope he proves me wrong.


Mets Salvage Sunday Lineup @ Los Angeles (Price)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

*Rojas actually proved me wrong ^ on Sunday....but it was only like the 2nd or 3rd time it's happened....lol

TheWrap/Recap....

Javy provides spark as Mets topple Dodgers

LOS ANGELES -- Javier Báez stood atop the second-base bag, pumping both fists in the air after successfully gliding across the dirt near the bag. Báez had just turned a routine base hit into a hustle double, sparking the second of the Mets’ three run-scoring rallies Sunday in a 7-2

8/24-26
SF Giants @ NY Mets

Crucial 3 game set for the Amazins.
Gotta take 2 of these 3 games, minimum.
They've dug themselves into a bit of a hole.
Time has come to start climbing back out...and fast.
Only a little more than a month to go in the regular season.
As Yogi Berra once said....."It's getting late early out there"
