Weather here is an absolute disaster so we'll see what happens.

Must be the remnants of Hurricane Elsa.
It was forecasted to dump a bunch of rain all along the I-95 corridor.


Double header on Saturday.

Mets rained out, to play 10th DH on Sat.

NEW YORK -- Hardly a week passes without a postponement for the Mets, who have endured near-constant weather issues throughout this season. Their latest postponement occurred on Thursday, when heavy rain prevented them from playing their scheduled game against the Pirates at Citi Field. The...

Mets Friday Lineup vs Pirates

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Caballo Loco, aka: Jonathan Villar hits a solo shot in the 3rd to tie the game 1-1.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

McCann singled....and with1 out, Nimmo's rbi double gives the Mets a 2-1 lead in the 3rd.




To the 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final:
Amazins 13 - Buccos 4

Wow...Mets put up a 10 spot in the 6th to put this one away.
Lindor's ( El Grande Salami ) & Pete's ( 3 run bomb) accounted for most of the damage...but Dom's rbi single got it going.

Villar tacked on with his 2nd HR of the game in the 7th...(another solo blast)

Ty Walker went 5 and got a ND. Aaron Loup threw a scoreless inning in the 6th and got the W.


The Wrap/Recap....

Alonso, Lindor (slam) go deep in 10-run 6th

NEW YORK -- One thing the Mets have decidedly not needed more of lately is rain. What they have needed, what they’ve been waiting on for the better part of this season, really, has been runs. A lot of them, enough to give their top-flight pitching a needed night off.

Conforto's fielding impressing Rojas

NEW YORK -- The last time the Mets had the No. 10 pick in the MLB Draft -- as they do again this Sunday \-\- they chose a smooth-swinging left-handed slugger out of Oregon State who was known first for his bat, his outfield defense merely a footnote on an

Mets Saturday Game 1 Lineup vs. Pirates (Anderson)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets on the board in the 1st.
Nimmo leadoff single....Dom's 1 out single sends him to 3rd...and Pillar's 2 out single plates him.


Stro set the bucs down in order in the top half.


1-0 Mets...heading to the 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stro goes 3 up /3 down in the 2nd.

He's throwing darts.
19 pitches thrown/16 for strikes thru 2.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Apparently Mets starting pitchers still don't know how to bunt properly.

Too funny....but they need to work on that and get better at it for the 2nd half.


edit:
Another 1-2-3 inning for Stro in the 3rd.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stro was perfect thru 3....but as is usually the case with most pitchers, the 2nd time thru the order bites ya.

Pirates scored twice in the 4th....and took a 2-1 lead on 2 singles...and a 2 out 2 run double.

Mid 4th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!
Caballo Loco again.



Villar's solo blast in the 4th..ties the game 2-2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughhh...Stro gives up a solo HR to the opposing pitcher after there were 2 outs.

Mets now trail 3-2, middle of the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Trevor May takes over for Stro to begin the 6th...and he hands out a leadoff walk, then a 2 run homer.



5-2 Pirates.

Did the Mets forget that this is just a 7 inning game??

They're gonna have their work cut out with only 2 innings left in this one.
