Conforto moved down in the lineup...

Notes: Conforto slid down; Betances mum

NEW YORK -- Although Mets manager Luis Rojas prefers the concept of fluid lineups, he came into this season committed to a rather static first five of Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor, Michael Conforto, Pete Alonso and Dominic Smith -- in that order. Aside from routine days off, the idea was

Geez....another delay.
DHer tomorrow...

Phillies-Mets opener postponed Monday

NEW YORK -- A disjointed early season continued for the Mets on Monday, when they postponed their series opener against the Phillies due to rain. The teams will play a single-admission doubleheader beginning at 4:10 p.m. ET on Tuesday, which will include Marcus Stroman’s return to action. It has...

Mets win game 1 of the DH vs Philly....




The Wrap:

Villar, Mets walk off on Phillies in Game 1

NEW YORK -- The Mets don’t care what you think about Major League Baseball’s extra-innings rule. After Tuesday, they’re fans of it. Taking advantage not only of the man-on-second rule, but also a quirk within it, the Mets came from behind to steal Game 1 of their doubleheader from the

Amazins win the nitecap 4-0 for the DH sweep....


The Wrap:

'This is who we are': Mets sweep Phils in DH

NEW YORK -- So that’s what the 2021 Mets are supposed to look like. Hampered early in April by a disjointed schedule, five postponed or suspended games, an offense that froze like a blue screen with runners in scoring position, a bullpen that struggled to finish off games, two top-of-the-order

Phils drop twin bill as CF struggles continue

The Phillies could spread the blame everywhere Tuesday at Citi Field. They suffered a 4-3 loss in eight innings to the Mets in Game 1 of a seven-inning doubleheader. They lost Game 2, 4-0. The Phillies had just 12 hits and struck out 17 times. They struggled defensively. They had

Mets Wednesday Lineup vs. Phils ( Wheeler)


Nimmo - CF
Lindor - SS
Smith - LF
Alonso - 1B
McNeil - 2B
Conforto - RF
McCann - C
Guillorme - 3B
Peterson - P

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets up 2-0 after 3.
But they need to figure out how to lay off Wheeler's low/inside & high/outside pitches.
He's become a master with those...and he'll keep throwing it until the hitters stop going after them.

Meanwhile, Peterson looks smooth thru 4.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm really hoping Conforto & McNeil find their strokes soon...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Peterson allowed his 1st hit of the game.
Unfortunately it was a 1 out solo HR in the top of the 5th.
Other than that he's still cruising.
2-1 Mets...heading to the home half.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughhh.
Mets situational hitting is still very suspect.
Peterson pulled for a PH w/ 2 on & 2 out.
Villar for some reason went after the 1st pitch and grounded out.

Mets up 2-1 after 6...they had a sweet chance to extend that lead...but nope.

Onto the 7th.

Familia is on the mound now.
Here we go....
.......and there's the leadoff walk.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh boy....the Phils have runners at the corners with 1 out.

Gregorius come on to PH.

Now Loup relieves Familia??

Not real sure this'll end well.


Edit.....somehow it worked out.
Loup coaxes a GIDP to get out of it.


Whew!!!

Stretch time.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets finally chase Wheeler.

Pete's 1 out sac fly rbi off the Phils' reliever scores Dom from 3rd and makes it a 3-1 game.



Onto the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Loup stayed in for the 8th...and pitched a perfect 1-2-3 frame w/ 2 K's.

Props to him.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!
James McCann goes deep for his 1st dinger as a Met.
2 run blast.



5-1 Amazins.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Edwin Diaz comes on for the 9th.
Por favor....don't eff this up, dude.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Put It In The Books!

Diaz goes 3 up/3 down....w/ 2 K's

Mets win it 5-1.
