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

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Velasquez walked the bases loaded.....then Nimmo walked to make it a 3-1 game.

Phils go to the pen....still only 1 out...for Lindor.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lindor went after the 1st pitch...and hit a sac fly to deep CF.

4-1 Mets.

2 down, runners at the corners for Conforto....

Nimmo steals 2nd and the throw went over the SS's head....Pillar scored from 3rd.

5-1

edit: make it 6-1 now after Conforto's RBI double plates Nimmo.




Stretch time.
Looks like Miguel Castro will take the mound for Stroman.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Phils scored a 2 out run to make it 6-2 Mets.

Castro wiggled out of more possible trouble with 2 runners on.
He got Harper to fly out for the 3rd out.

Onto the 8th.

Whew.....

So Trevor May sucks, that's disappointing.

We'll see how it plays out....maybe he and McCann just aren't in sync yet.
He might prefer pitching to Nido. Pitchers are funny creatures.

At least he kept them off the board.
Baby steps.
LOL

PETE!!!!

2 run blast.

8-2 Mets.

Bottom 9th.

A Familia sighting.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I said it yesterday...and I have a feeling I'll be saying this pretty much all year long....

Nothing is easy....ever.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I wonder who's in the Mets pipeline for manager to take over for Rojas if and when that time comes?

Ex catcher, and current quality control coach Brian Schneider??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets win it 8-4.
Rubber game tomorrow.

Good to get a win. Bullpen still shaky, I hope this isn't an issue every game.
