Earth to TC.
With the exception of Harvey & possibly deGrom....all of our pitchers need to start throwing inside a lot more....and the catchers have to call those pitches for it to happen.

That is all.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets did the get em on, get em over, get em in thingy...via Grandy(double), Lagares & Duda (groundouts) to take a 3-2 lead in the 3rd.

LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

'Tolo getting in some trouble here in the bottom 5th....gives up a leadoff single to Latos (who had to leave w/ an injured leg) followed by another single by Gordon....and the big bats are coming up....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes...Prado hits into the pitchers best friend.....5-4-3 DP.....runner at 3rd for Stanton

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Tie game...on a ground ball (for an inf. single) to where Murphy should have been if not for the shift........ughhh.

3-3....onto the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

lol...the new fish pitcher (Dyson) throws a very easy 1-2-3 inning on just 8 pitches......smh

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes...just what the doctor ordered.....Colon tosses a very fast & easy 1-2-3 inning on just 6 pitches.


LETS GO BATS & LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sort of an unusual night at the plate for Colon....he just got the hat tricK (all looking)

Stretch time.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

leadoff double, sac bunt & sac fly gives the fish a 4-3 lead

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I really didn't understand the whole calling up Montero for a spot start thing to give all the other starters an extra day's rest .....I mean it's only April. Maybe if it's later in the year, I can see it....but why try to fix what isn't broken?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Robles replaces Colon and whiffs Stanton.
Onto the 8th.....4-3, fish

Mets bats need to wake the fuck up.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lagares leadoff walk.....C'mon Duda....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FUCK.....Duda swung at ball 4 three times before GIDP......ME

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

smfh.....for some reason this team over the last few yrs, must have given up more goddamn infield singles than all the other NL east teams combined.....it's crazy.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

1st & 3rd w/ just 1 out for Ichiro.....

I think I may go watch some NBA playoffs right now instead....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

looks like I made the right choice....
.....and there seems to be some rumblings about the mets maybe trading for the Brewers' SS Jean Segura??
