Big July series starting tonight in DC. Mets saved their 3-best pitchers for this series. On 106.7 the fan they were actually talking about if the Nats should have saved Scherzer for the Mets, our biggest divisional threat.

Game 1: Harvey - Gio
Game 2: deGrom - TBD though it's looking like Joe Ross
Game 3: Syndergaard - Zimmermann

Don't sweat it...our offense sucks. The Braves swept us at home facing the same three pitchers.

I'm expecting a Mets win tonight. deGrominator is too good, and rested. 1 run might be enough.

I like yer pessimism, but don't count out our lousy defense, either!

Nah, I could never afford a bag that roomy

Rubber match is underway. Beautiful day in DC. Wish I was at the park.

Mets good in day games

No no no no no noooo Escobar hurts his hand/wrist and leaves the game. These injuries are unreal.

It really is crazy. Specific to Escobar, though, according to the radio it was on the swing, wasn't hit or anything. That's happened to him a few times already this year on check swings. Weird. Hopefully nothing long-term.

Lefties are hitting .298 off Jordan Zimmermann this year.

 

[hokiehi21]

Michael A Taylor comes thru again with a 2-out knock to tie the game. Big wild pitch right before allowed both runners to advance

 

[hokiehi21]

Espi drives in Taylor with a oppo field double!! Nats lead 4-3.

 

[apachef4]

Let's get it done, Drew!

 

[hokiehi21]

phew. Flores works the count full then swings at ball 4. Woulda been a leadoff walk

 

[hokiehi21]

Curly Dub in the books. Nice series win against 3 damn good pitchers. Now just hoping for the best for Escobar.

Mets face Kershaw and Greinke next.
