Mets Opening Day 2021...and all April games.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes....is this a fluke ?....or a harbinger??

Mets trail 1-0 after 4.

Can someone please step up and get this team going into a consistent positive direction??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So this is game #19......tomorrow, 1/8th of the season will be done.

Steve Cohen can't be too pleased with these results so far in the early going.....I know I'm not.

I wonder when the "Fire Chili" or "Fire Rojas" shouts begin??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughh....we're still stuck on just 1 hit thru 5....and trail 1-0.





Mets bats are hibernating.




Onto the 6th.

LFGM!

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Can we just trade deGrom to a team that can hit? It's painful

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets get their 2nd hit of the game...a single by Alonso in the 6th....and their 1st since McNeil's single in the 2nd.
Davis walked....but that's as far as it went. Smith grounded out to end the "threat". LOL

Still 1-0 Boston heading to the 7th.

We can hit...we just haven't for whatever reason.....and to think it's not even the usual June swoon yet.

This is crazy.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nothing doing for the Mets in the 7th.
3 up...3 down.

Trevor May takes the mound for the 8th.

edit: May K's the side in order.

Heading to the home half.

Amazins need to get busy in a hurry.....

LFGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bupkis.

Onto the 9th.

Edwin Diaz will be on the hill.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Okay here we go...last chance for NY.

Diaz threw an awesome inning....with only 8 pitches. (2K's & a ground out)


The law firm of Conforto, Davis, & Smith are due up.


Edit:

Just plain ugly.....all 3 whiffed to end it.

Mets lose 1-0.

Embarrassing would be putting it mildly.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

So deflating

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So deflating

No doubt.
That said....if there were a silver lining tonight, and there was...and last night as well, it would be the performance(s) of the Mets BP.
So to that..I'll give them much deserved major props.

 

[omarsrevenge]

Another offensive onslaught tonight. Two hits in the same game? Really starting to click now.

 

[omarsrevenge]

So deflating

I think our hitters would do better going up to the plate blindfolded.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets disappoint and falter again...losing 1-0.

'No excuse': Bats silent in latest deGrom gem

NEW YORK -- Of all the Jacob deGrom statistics that continue to boggle the mind, the most notable are too often the negative ones -- undeserved losses and tough-luck no-decisions. Such numbers remain every bit as difficult to believe as the positive statistics, which paint deGrom as perhaps the...

Mets Friday Lineup @ Phila. (Anderson)

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

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

FFS...this team is hell bent on finding news ways to give games away and ultimately lose.

2-0 Phils after 2.....but how they allowed those runs is definitely unacceptable.

I hope they pull their collective heads out of their asses sometime soon.

It's getting a bit concerning.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stroman leads off the Mets 3rd with a double....
Nimmo fails to move him to 3B by flying out to LF....for out #1....
Lindor swings at high ball 4 on 3-0....and flies to shallow CF....2 outs....
McNeil walked.... 2on/2out...
Alonso goes after 2 changeups and fouls them off...then swings thru an outside slider on 0-2 for out #3.


Spin
Rinse
Repeat

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hot damn...Mets are on the board in the 6th courtesy of Dom Smith's 1 out rbi single scoring Pete who singled leading off the inning.

Then McCann promptly made sure to end the threat/momentum right there by GIDP.

2-1 Phils...mid 6th.

Loup will take over for Stro, who was due to lead off the in the 7th.
I'm not sure why he wasn't put in the 8th spot for McCann though....as they'll likely PH for him anyway.
