Baty hit his 2nd HR, (his 1st at home.)
Bassitt went 7.1 innings. Diaz got the vulture win.

The Wrap/Recap....

Alonso sets Mets record with game-winning RBI

NEW YORK -- Pete Alonso is on a one-man mission to prove that RBIs do, in fact, matter. To the 2022 Mets, they matter very much. Modern theory states that RBI is not a particularly useful statistic because it is too reliant upon the performances of other batters in a

Mike Hampton has no business on that old timers roster

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Givens is a problem. He shouldn't be anywhere near the mound come playoff time (unless we're already getting crushed).

These old timer's day festivities have been awesome.
I have lots of fond memories watching those players over the years.
Props to Steve Cohen and the Mets FO for doing this. The fans love it.

The Mets moved 3 games ahead of 2nd place Atlanta in the NL East when the Braves lost 6-5 in St. Louis.
New York (82-46) holds the second-best record in the NL & the majors...(the Dodgers are 87-38).
The Mets are now 36 games over .500 for the first time since finishing 100-60 in 1988.

The Wrap & Recap....

Peterson keys shutout, but role for Mets cloudy

NEW YORK -- All told, the Mets have recalled David Peterson to their active roster six times this season. He’s started 16 games, pitched out of the bullpen in four others and thrown another half-dozen times in the Minors. The only constant with Peterson is that it’s usually unclear what

Not a lot of deviation in the lineup for the past few weeks. Marte finally gets a day off, but Nimmo, Alonso, Lindor, McNeil, and Canha have played nearly every day this month

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This ended up being a bummer, let down & total disappointment after such an awesome day on Saturday and otherwise nice weekend.
Max still searching for that 200th win...which should've been his today.
Only thing I'll add is Go Cardinals for later tonight.

I'll take 3-1, but what a dismal offensive showing this afternoon

I'll take 3-1, but what a dismal offensive showing this afternoon

Yeah..and what's worse is now they have to do a 180º and get ready for Los Doyers.
I actually thought Buck would've gone with Walker today, and saved Max to face LA on Tuesday instead.
Me and my silly hindsight....but what do I know.....LOL.
Might not helped anyhow.


Gotta hope, wish & pray the bats wake up for that series.
To say that will be a very important and crucial series would be a drastic understatement,

Mets embarrassingly drop the finale 1-0
Max held up his end of the deal...but the offense...not at all.

Thankfully St. Louis beat Atlanta 6-3 earlier this evening, so the Mets lead in the NL east is still 3 games.

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ 1-0 loss to the Rockies on Sunday, which saw Max Scherzer suffer defeat despite striking out 11 in a superb start, served to disguise the fact that the Mets still took three of four from the Rockies at Citi Field, still have won 24 of

Mets drop the opener 4-3. Frustrating AF.
They had plenty of good chances but could just never get over that hump.
Also, a bases loaded HBP by Walker opened the door in the 3rd and led to 3 runs for LA.
The loss was softened a bit though after Atlanta lost their game with Colorado 3-2.
