Bottom 4th.....Grandy doubles, Soup grounds out to 1st to move him to 3rd...and the Duda abides w/ a ribeye single against the shift.
Cuddyer GIDP.....smh

1-0 Amazin's.

Onto the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets take a 1-0 lead into the 9th....
Familia gets the 1st out, then gives up b2b singles....
Runners at the corners and the Cards tie it up on a sac fly.....smh
1-1 game ...Familia's 1st blown save on the year.

Harvey gets another ND....ughhh

Now we need a walkoff win.....

LGM!!!!!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Harvey was on point tonight. Unfortunate to see Familia blow it. We still need bats in the lineup.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Damn Flanders.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Grandy 1 out double.....
No Soup for you....K

Duda time???

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Duda walks on 4 pitches

Cuddy time?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

"Professional hitter" whiffs.

bonus baseball time.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Well they made the right decision not to pitch to Duda. Cuddyer killing us

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Why is it that whenever pitching coach dan warthen visits the mound, bad things seem to soon follow more times than not?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well they made the right decision not to pitch to Duda. Cuddyer killing us

Not sure why he's still in the cleanup spot...or why TC is afraid to move him down in the order....

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Huzzah fer Murphy!

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Not sure why he's still in the cleanup spot...or why TC is afraid to move him down in the order....

Gotta be solely based on his rep. If Wright were back...

Howie says not to let Flores bunt because "it's hard to give up an out here," and then Flores flies out.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

I get the feeling we're only going to win this game if the Cards make a couple of errors. Certainly don't seem capable of out-hitting them.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Burning through our BP against these guys in extra innings of the 1st game....probably will not play out well later this week, unless one or more of our starters goes 8+......Yikes!!!

 

[omarsrevenge]

Good win! feel bad for Harvey but a win is a win

 

[MetsFan78502]

Too bad Harvey didn't get the win, but the main thing is they didn't waste his great performance. It would have been extremely deflating to lose after the way he pitched. You just can't waste 8 shutout innings from your ace against a top team like the Cardinals. Pulling this one out was a must! Harvey is amazing. 1.98 ERA is incredible this soon after TJ surgery.

Familia just had bad luck. The fly ball was very shallow, but Granderson has a pathetic arm. Any kind of halfway decent arm out there, and that run would not have scored.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mayberry Jr. Delivers. I'm happy for that kid.
Mets win 2-1 in 14.
BP held down the fort for 5 innings....
