NY Mets August 2019

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Still a 6-2 game heading to the 8th.
So Jake is done after 7..and 94 pitches.

I thought he had another inning in him...but be that as it may...
Justin Wilson is on the mound to begin the 8th.


edit...he only allowed a single...and struck out 2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead 6-2 heading to the 9th.
Edwin Diaz is now on the hill.


LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

For the life of me..I really don't get these guys sometimes.

Diaz just plunks the leadoff guy to begin the 9th.




edit:

Damn...after 9 pitches he gets Castro to ground into a force out.

1 down, 2 to go.

He K's the next guy...

2 down....


re edit:

Now he issues a 4 pitch walk to the PHer.

WTF!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

He finally gets the 3rd out...a strikeout to end the game...
...albeit with some unnecessary drama...lol

Final 6-2 Mets.




Mets are now at .500.... 56-56.
Game 112....with 50 games to go.

Game 2 of the DH starts shortly.

LGM!!
YGB!!

deGrom, what an absolute stud. No let's keep it going in game 2. We have a tendency to split these, let's take them both for once.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets put 2 on the board, and it could've/should've been more...but I'll take it.

2-0 Mets...end of 1.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Walker Lockett tosses a shutdown frame...after the leadoff walk, he gets a GIDP, and a fly out.




2-0 Metsies.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Thats's the type of crap that infuriates me...
McNeil just worked a 2 out walk after 10 pitches...so what does Rosario do next?? He goes after the 1st pitch and grounds out.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Now McNeil comes out after getting injured going after a line drive to left that ended up being a double.

Juan Lagares come in to play CF..and Aaron Altherr moves over to LF.


Edit:

Lockett works out of that leadoff double trouble.

2-0 Mets mid 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lockett back in trouble in the 4th...

Fish have 1st & 3rd with no outs.

edit:

It's now a 2-1 game....Miami now has 1st & 2nd..and still no outs...


Okay...
he did a nice of job to get out of that with minimal damage...a fly out and a GIDP.

2-1 Mets, mid 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's guys in the lineup like Guillorme & Altherr that makes me really wish Lowrie & Nimmo were healthy/able to play.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lockett gives up a leadoff HR in the 5th

2-2 tie.

Dude reminds me of Mike Pelfrey.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lockett struggled to get thru 4.2...

He just gave up a 2 out single and leaves with 2 out and 2 on in the 5th.

Gsellman comes in to hopefully squash this BS.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Fuckin Curtis Granderson tags Gsellman for a 2 out 2 run double.

4-2 Miami.

I don't know WTF Ramos is doing behind the plate..but w/e it is...it ain't workin....at least not yet.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ugghhh

Davis led of with a double but gets stranded there.
2 pathetic AB's by Lagares & Rosario.
Both swinging at garbage near their heads...and popping up.
I would've had Lagares bunting with no outs to get Davis over to 3rd.

But WTF do I know?




4-2 Fish...end of 5.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeeesh...

Memo to Jed Lowrie.

Dude, please heal the heck up and get back ASAP.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets had 1st & 2nd with no outs.

Bupkis!


Guillorme....failed bunt attempt...force out.

Hechavarria ...strikes out.

Frazier...grounded out PHing for Gsellman.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Familia is now on the mound to begin the 7th.

Oh boy....
