NY Mets ~~ August 2021

[Nasty_Magician]

Maybe the glass half full mindset is what is needed? Maybe they're right and I'm wrong but I hate these "what are you going to do", shoulder shrug reactions. I want a players only meeting where guys are screaming, I want another tunnel fight, I want someone to call people out publicly. Where is the fire with this team?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hahaha.
Steve Cohen is pissed too.
It’s about time.

Mets owner pokes 'unproductive' bats amid slide

Mets owner Steve Cohen called out the "unproductive" offense on Twitter after New York fell further out of postseason contention with a loss to the Giants -- its 14th loss in 19 games.

Players are a reflection of the coaches.
Coaches are a reflection of the manager.
The manager is a reflection of the owner.
An owner signs the checks for all of them.

Is something about to go down?
Firings, demotions, dismissals, reassignments?

Do you think Rojas is nervous?

Do you think Rojas is nervous?

Let’s put it this way...
If he’s not, then he needs to go.

Can’t accept or enable mediocrity.
Gotta have accountability to succeed.
So far all I hear or read from Rojas are excuses.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Btw:
I’m still flummoxed about Fonzi not getting the job.

Mets Wednesday Lineup @ Giants

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

SMH.

Ridiculous.

Villar just got picked off 1st...........AGAIN!

What's that, like the 6th or 7th time this season??

Totally unforgivable.....and unacceptable.


Earth to Rojas...
You might want to change the steal signs once in a while (maybe daily?)....because the other teams' scouts have our number on that.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well...that's likely gonna do it for this one.
Giants 1 - Mets 0, mid 4th.

Megill is pitching a pretty decent game...but won't get any run support.

Mets hitters are still making 1st pitch outs.
Already 3rd time today....(even once with a new pitcher on the mound to begin an inning) LOL

Should be a real fun time down at Chavez Ravine in these next 4 days.

I shudder to think.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Still 1- 0 SF.
End of 5.

Let's see what the top of the Mets order can put together here in the 6th.

LFGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

These guys are just throwing up the proverbial white flag at this point.

Nimmo singled...
But McNeil had another 1st pitch non productive out.
Alonso flied out to RF....& Conforto grounded out weakly to 2B.

Game. Set. Match.

Sorry, Tylor....but you just aren't gonna get any help today unfortunately.
Hopefully you'll be able to at the very least go another inning or 2 to give the BP arms some much needed rest.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stretch time by the bay.
1-0 SF.

Ho hum.

Gotta wonder if Rojas will still have a job when they get back to NYC from LA.
Depending on how that series goes...I think it's a 50-50 chance he gets canned.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Top of the 9th....still 1 - Nil.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets tied it up in the 9th.
Pete got HBP....Conforto singled him over to 3rd.
JD Davis hit a sac fly rbi.
Dom hit into a force out.
Villar looked at a called 3rd...right down Broadway.
Mets August in a nutshell.

1-1 heading to the bottom half.

Edwin Diaz coming in.

Either a walkoff loss or extras.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Extras it is.
Diaz went 3 up/ 3down.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bottom 10th. 1-1
Here's where SF walks off.

Mets inability to bunt or get the runner on 2nd (Villar) to 3rd completely handcuffed their meager scoring effort.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Diaz back on the bump.
Giants have a runner on 3rd...and only 1 out.

Oh well.

The brooms are appearing....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow.
How Diaz wiggled out of that was surprising.

Onto the 11th
1-1

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have a lead.
2-1 on a Conforto 1 out ribeye double.




edit:
We had 2 more outs to work with to tack on...but no of course not.

So it's 2-1 Mets...bottom of the 11th

And Familia is now in.
