I'd be good with either, both are good change of scenery candidates that provide good defensive options.

Weather at Citi Field this weekend is projected to be squirrely beyond squirrely. I'll be shocked if they get all 5 games in (tonight is okay though). This is Atlanta's last trip to Citi this season, hope they don't have to make up any games at Truist.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Huge win. Hate that we used Diaz for 2 innings so hopefully we get some breathing room games. Worst case scenario I believe we're tied if we lose the next 4.

Mets take game 1.
Pete blasted his 29th bomb..and had 3 rbi.
Tyler Naquin with a nice home debut (2 Dingers)
Dan Vogelbach went deep at Citi for the 1st time as a Met.
Cookie tossed 6 very good innings FTW....& Sugar Diaz had a rare 2 IP/6 out save.



The Wrap & Recap....

Mets drop hammer as Díaz gets 6-out save vs. Braves

NEW YORK -- As the Mets’ closer, Edwin Díaz typically pitches the ninth. So when the bullpen gate swung open after the seventh inning Thursday and Díaz came striding through it, the Citi Field videoboard was still running a hat shuffle game. Lacking his typical entrance music -- the popular

Huge win. Hate that we used Diaz for 2 innings so hopefully we get some breathing room games

He hadn't pitched since last Friday in Miami and needed the work....but he'll likely be called on again in one of the 2 games on Saturday if need be.

Mets Friday Lineup vs Atlanta ( Anderson)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yeeeesh!

Taijuan Walker tonight.




Allowed 4 runs in b2b innings right out of the gate.....and wasn't able to get out of the 2nd.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Feel like Taijuan is Oliver Perez 2.0. He's either going 7 and giving up 3 hits or he's done by the third inning.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Valiant effort but not enough.
Walker gave the game away.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Valiant effort but not enough.
Walker gave the game away.

Yeah...chalk it up to a bad effort or lack of preparation...but after climbing out of deep hole they did make a game of it.
Hopefully it serves as a wake up call.

Mets drop game 2. Final 9-6.

Still wish they'd scrap those Wilpon era black friday uni's for now...but I digress....
