Series Thread: NY Mets @ Wash. Nationals (7/20-22)

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Good Grief...where's the command, Thor??

Pitch count rapidly escalating....so is my anger.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Syndergaard, who hadn't issued more than 2 walks in any of his last 11 starts, has 4 of them already today in 3.1 IP.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

See? No need to make panic-mode trades...we got Kirk.

Kirk is 8-for-25 with 3 doubles, 3 HR, 6 RBI in 12 games, 7 starts since being bought back. #Mets

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughhh
Taylor 2 out single
3-1 game after 4.

Damage minimized thank goodness.

Well, one of them was a sort-of-intentional to Den Dekker in the second, but yeah, let's clamp down here.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Looks like Lagares' foot came off the bag @3rd....damn..review time.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

he's ruled safe after a 4 min replay review...yikes.....but the Duda could not abide.

Arrrggghh

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Fuck....
Thor gives up a lead off single to Harper, but gets Uggla to GIDP...and now he walks Robinson w/ Chipper Ramos on deck....

* 5 BB on the day..and he's closing in on 100 Pitches in the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Whew.... Ramos grounds out.

Onto the 6th we go.

Mets up 3-1

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Game's too tight. Makes for good drama but I'd rather have more runs right now

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh great..is this the part of the game where the mets' BP and defense craps the bed???

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FFS....I don't think den Dekker walked 3 times during his entire stay w/ the Mets...
....but he's walked thrice today....

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Hurrah for Robles!

Let's get some more runs, gents...don't spoil yet another good outing from a starter

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

ROBLES!!!!

wiggles out of potential disaster....nice job there.

Onto the 7th we tread....Mets still lead 3-1.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go 1-2-3...

Stretch time near the Potomac.

Mejia coming in.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

All right, Mejia! Well done

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh Jenrry sets them down in order..

Nice mid season acquisition by the metsies....lol

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Duda continues to don't-a

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bobby P. pitching the 8th...gets Chipper Ramos swinging....

....but now surrenders a walk and single.


Need to bear down here....blunder free.

Shame Mejia won't be available for the playoffs if we make it. Trade him!
