Dominant Stroman showing his 'best version'

It was starting pitching that carried the Mets to a 2-1 win and series victory over the Rockies on Sunday. Marcus Stroman, in his third start of the season, pitched six scoreless innings before giving up his first run at Coors Field since June 2019, when he was still pitching

Ughh.....Walker struggling with the bottom of the Cubs' order.

Mets down 2-0.

And now he issues a 2 out walk to load the bases in the 4th...and he's near 90 pitches.
Sheeesh.... He just walked in a run....to make it 3-0.

He got pulled for Gsellman....then got tossed by the HP ump.

Alrighty then....back to the situation at hand.

Bags full o'cubs with 2 outs...for Rizzo.

Edit: Gsellman K's Rizzo on a 2-2 changeup...to end it.

Cubs lead 3-0 after 4.

LGM!!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

JD Davis gets us on the board.
Solo Blast in the 5th.

His glove today however has been a different story.
2 errors so far.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I see why Walker was pissed at the HP ump.
He wasn't getting the calls Arrieta and Brothers were/are.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets fall flat in Cubs series opener...losing 3-1.
They wasted a golden opportunity in the 9th....

Rojas was also ejected....his 1st as Mets mgr.

And....

deGrom asks for extra day, to start Friday

Manager Luis Rojas announced a slight change to his upcoming starting rotation. Jacob deGrom, who was scheduled to start in the series finale at Wrigley Field on Thursday, will now start Friday as the Mets return home to take on the Nationals. Rojas said that his ace asked for his

Up next......

Mets left-hander David Peterson (1-1, 6.30 ERA) and Cubs right-hander Zach Davies (1-2, 10.32) will square off in game 2 on Wednesday night. Peterson is coming off a sharp performance against Philadelphia, striking out 10 over six innings in a 5-1 victory. Davies has dropped his last two starts, allowing 11 runs in 5 2/3 innings.

Very winnable game last night, needed to get that one. Time for these bats to wake up.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

On the 6th pitch of the game, and with 1 out....Francisco Lindor hits his 1st HR as NY Met.




1-0 Mets, Mid 1st.


Edit:
Peterson tosses a clean 1st inning. (13 pitches, and 1K)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

JD Davis' 2 out rbi double gives the Mets a 2-0 lead in the 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I know it's very early in the season...and I don't mean to cause a stir, but maybe Rojas might consider dropping Conforto down in the lineup a spot or 2 (to see if he shakes out of his funk) and batting McCann higher than 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geez....I think I'll watch the rest of the Knicks game instead.

Mets falling apart on the mound, in the field...and at the plate.

Peterson can't get out of the 4th.....allows 6 runs (only 3 earned)

Cubs have put up a 7 spot in the 4th.....Gsellman wasn't much help.

Mets now trail 7-2.

Does Rojas not have a firm grip on this team??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete!!!
2 run bomb in the 5th gets us right back into this one.

7-4

Now Gsellman is having issues.

And a catcher's interference call on McCann.

Total teamwide clusterfuckery.

9-4 Cubs.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

10-4 now...still in the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Knicks mounting a comeback in the 4th.
2 pt game...7 min to go.
LOL
