NY Mets -- August 2022

[Nasty_Magician]

Can we please not lose to this Triple A team? They're barely able to field a lineup.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Nats have scored in the 4th.

Jake gave up a leadoff single..then an rbi double....but got the next 3 batters.
Thru 4...6 K...3 H...0 W....on 51 pitches.

edit: and right in cue...the Mets go down in order in their half of the 5th.
Depending on the amount of pitches it takes Jake to get thru the 5th...this could be his last inning of work tonight.

edit.2: only took Jake 8 pitches in the 5th.
Now at 59.

LFGM!

Frankie!
Boooom!
HR #19....Tie game.


Gary & Keith said the 5th was Jake's last inning tonight.

1-1 mid 6th.
ND for Jake....but that's okay, he looked good....and it's great to have him back in the mix.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nogosek just gave up b2b HR's... a 2 run job....then a solo shot.
Mets now trail 4-1 in the 6th.


I thought they would've given Jake another inning......oh well.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Shameful

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets had something going in the top of the 7th..but it fizzled out.
Yoan Lopez just gave up a solo bomb on his 1st pitch out of the pen in the bottom 7th.

It's now a 5-1 hole.
This game is done.
Mets look lost.

Phils are laying down like dogs in Atl.
Braves ahead 8 -1 in the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets are playing like they're sad about JD Davis getting traded...meanwhile the Nats are playing like they're overjoyed Soto & Bell are gone.

The dichotomy of the 2 teams body language is telling.
Very weird.

Final:
Nats 5 - Mets 1

Vogelbach just blasted a GS to make it 6-0.
His 1st HR as a Met.

Get the bad one out of the way, good thinking:

Get the bad one out of the way, good thinking:

Not exactly a good debut.
Hopefully we'll look back on that type of performance of his as merely an outlier

The Wrap & Recap....

Vogelbach gives Mets grand boost at DH

WASHINGTON -- Whether fairly or not, much of the ink spilled over the Mets’ Trade Deadline strategy focused less on what the team accomplished and more on what it didn’t. The Mets did not acquire a catcher or a lefty reliever. They did not mimic the splashier moves of the
