Mets Monday Game 1 Lineup vs Atlanta (Muller)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Conforto hovering near the mendoza line, & batting 3rd against a lefty today is a bit of a head scratcher, but we'll see how it plays out.

No score after 1.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stro getting into trouble in the 3rd.
3 straight hits....a run in....no outs.
Runners at 2nd & 3rd.

2-0 now in the 4th


Apparently they didn't come to play today...at least not yet in the 1st game of this double dip.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeesh...

This one is not trending in our favor.

Going the split in the nightcap...in about an hour.
