NY Mets 2023 Opening Day & April Games.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets getting hammered and shutout now in b2b games.
Have to wonder if the new pitch clock rule is hurting them.
Bats are slumbering.

9-0 Brewers in the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final 9-0
Mets shutout again.

I don't think they lost a series out of the gate last year until maybe around mid May.
It only took less than week this young season.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Back to back shellacks.
Mets offense vanishes for 2nd straight game.
Their pitching has been spotty at best in beer town.

Mets Salvage Wednesday Series Finale Lineup @ Brewers

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete! x2

The Polar Bear is angry. He's smashed two 2 run bombs.
One in the 3rd...and one in the 5th.

Lindor has an rbi double, and an rbi single.

Mets 6 - Brewers 4....mid 5th.
Need Peterson to toss a shutdown frame here.


LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Issuing leadoff walks is not helping....sheeesh.



Either way..this will be his last inning....he's closing in on 100 pitches.


edit:
And he's pulled.
Drew Smith is now in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Smith gives up a 2 out 2 run double just after a meeting at the mound....lol
He's been wild...all over the place.

edit:
He finally gets a K to end it.

6-6 tie...after 5.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Curtiss sets them down in order w/ 2 K for the Mets.

Both sides go 1-2-3 in the 6th.

Onto the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Game still tied 6-6 heading to the 9th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughhh...
Some very weak AB's by the Mets these last few innings.

Bottom of the 9th now.
Ottavino on the hill for NY.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And just like that.... The Mets are swept.
Wow....just wow.
Ottavino gives up a walk off leadoff HR

Final 7-6.
