NY Mets ~~ August 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez.
Megill is looking like Luchessi today.

Mets already down 3-0 and it's only the 2nd inning.

I'm sure this will end well.....lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Attaboy, Conforto....that's just what we need....hitting into a tailor made DP.

Not sure why Rojas has him in the lineup, or even hitting behind Baez for that matter.
Dude is terrible against lefties....whereas Dom is much better against them.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LOL...Megill is now looking like deGrom with the bat.
He doubled with 2 outs in the 3rd. (1st hit for the Mets today)...but then Nimmo grounded out to strand him there of course.
3-0 Giants heading to the 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It's a HR frenzy...but not for the Mets.
6-0 Giants in the 4th.

Rojas is still shrugging.




edit:
7-0 now.
So long, Megill.
Trevor Williams mopping up in the 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final line.....

SF: 8 - 15 - 0
NY: 0 - 5 - 0





FIRE ROJAS!

While they're at it....

Fire Hugh (Who?) Quattlebaum: hitting coach, Jeremy Hefner: pitching coach, & Ricky Bones: BP coach too.

Megill hurt by Giants' homer attack

NEW YORK -- In another reality, Tylor Megill might be winding down his season, perhaps looking at a September shutdown as the Mets managed his workload with ample alternatives to replace him. Megill has long since proven his worth, stepping into a rotation void during a summer in which the

Up next....

Giants RHP Johnny Cueto (7-6, 3.89 ERA) is expected to be activated from the IL after a right flexor strain to face Mets RHP Taijuan Walker (7-8, 3.86).

Jake.....

deGrom plays catch ... what's next for ace?

NEW YORK -- What was once a familiar sight at Citi Field became so again on Wednesday, when Jacob deGrom played catch for the first time since July. Dressed in shorts, workout tights and a sleeveless shirt, deGrom let loose only a few throws at what appeared to be minimal

Mets Wednesday *Lineup vs San Francisco ( Cueto )


*don't ask....lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets still doing what they do best.....getting hits & runners on base...but failing to cash in.
They have 4 hits...but no situational hitting discipline at the plate...and they've already hit into 2 DP's.

0-0 after 3.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Giants on the board first.
Walker gives up his 1st hit of the game.... a 2 out solo HR on an 0-2 pitch to Bryant in the 4th.

1-0 SF......which might turn out to be all they need.

Mid 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LOL....make that 3 DP's now that the Mets have hit into so far through just 4 innings.

Villar, Pete & now Baez.


Off to the the 5th we go......smh.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets finally on the board....courtesy of a 2 out bases loaded Kris Bryant E-5.
No rbi for Pete.

1-1 bottom 5th.
Cueto yanked, and the bags are still full o mets....w/ 2 outs for McNeil.


edit:
But of course the SOB gets the brain cramps and goes after the 1st pitch from the new pitcher...and pops out.

Mets leave em loaded...after getting a gift run to tie it.

Sheeeesh.
Some of these guys are full on dumb asses.
It's evident the urgency and focus for some of them just isn't there.
If I'm the manager, or GM, I'd sit some of these idiots for days upon days, and call up some guys from the farm to give them a shot.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Rojas is too complacent and enables a lot of this nonsense...and it needs to stop.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have a 2-1 lead in the 6th.

Conforto leadoff single....Baez moved him to 2nd....Smith 1 out rbi double.

That's where it ended....ughh.

Mazeika GIDP with a runners on 1st & 3rd.
That's the 4th DP today the less than amazinzzzz have hit into.




2-1 Mets heading to the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm sure that error by Villar to begin the 7th won't have consequences.




And now Walker gives up a single ( only his 2nd hit allowed)....but he's pulled for Loup.

2 on...no outs.

Here we go again...

edit....
right on cue....Loup gives up a 2 run double on his 1st pitch, which he threw right down Broadway.

3-2 SF...still no outs.

and then he hits the next batter.....still no outs....runners at 1st & 2nd.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Why are McNeil & Villar still in the game??

I can hear it way out here on the west coast.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

To his credit...Loup minimized the damage....and kept it a 1 run game.
Stretch time at Luis Rojas' soon to be former workplace.

3-2 SF

LFGM!

edit...
Lindor K's on 3 straight, PHing for Loup.

Nimmo singled....but then, yep you guessed it....Pete GIDP (twice for him)

5th DP Mets hitters have hit into tonight....and there's at least 2 more innings to go in this one.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go down 1-2-3 in the 8th.
Hey...at least no one got on, only to be erased by a GIDP.

But there's still the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Here we go...
Need 1 to tie...2 for a walk off.
