WTF, Thor?

Why does this defense play out of position so often??

Don't we have advance scouts on the payroll any more???

:L


So Cespedes is playing even though he and team said he'll miss 2-3 games?

7th Inning Stretch.
Mets trail 3-1.
Thor had a rocky 1st inning, allowing those 3 runs... but was more or less pretty solid afterwards...other than his high pitch count.
He departed after 6. Blevins & Ramos pitched in the 7th.
Cespedes hit a solo HR in the 6th.


LGM!!!


also:
we could really use an upgrade at the catcher position with our 2 main backstops out.
Not just for the offense, but also for game calling/framing pitches/throwing runners out etc.

Hopefully the jet lag is gone by tomorrow...

Braves vs. Mets - Game Recap - May 1, 2018 - ESPN



TRAINER'S ROOM:

Mets: Cespedes hurt his left thumb sliding headfirst Sunday in San Diego. He was pulled from the game and said he thought he would miss three days. But the slugger soon felt fine and plans for an MRI were scrapped, GM Sandy Alderson said. ... Syndergaard pitched on regular rest in place of LHP Steven Matz (stiff back), who was rescheduled to start Saturday against Colorado. ... RHP Anthony Swarzak (strained left oblique) and C Kevin Plawecki (broken left hand) are healing slower than hoped, Alderson said.



UP NEXT:

Braves: Pushed back a day when Soroka was called up, LHP Sean Newcomb (1-1, 4.23 ERA) pitches the middle game of the series Wednesday night.

Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (3-0, 2.06) has thrown 14 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings and allowed only one extra-base hit to a right-handed batter this season. He tossed seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts in a no-decision April 21 at Atlanta.

And of course Sewald now lobs a fat 2 out , 2 strike meatball to the opposing pitcher who doubles...then right on que the next batter homers on the 1st pitch.

3-0...not the mets.

It might be a day late, but I think I can hear a distant MAY DAY! cry all the way from Flushing.


Breaking News.... our current catching crew sucks.

Lobaton & Nido are crap....on both sides of the plate.

any timetable for his recovery/return?
They didn't give any details on the severity, just said that was the initial diagnosis.

Either way, this looks like the start of the decimation
