[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Should be lots of orange and blue crew fans in the stands tonight and all weekend long.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

No score in the 4th....

Just came across this...

deGrom says shoulder issue came on swing

WASHINGTON -- Most accounts of Jacob deGrom’s right shoulder injury focus on his third inning last Wednesday, when he winced and shook his arm following a pitch to the Cubs’ Eric Sogard. But deGrom actually believes he hurt himself the previous inning, when he swung and missed at a Robert

Still a scoreless tie in the 6th.
What the hell happened to the Mets offense??
Last night and now today....nothing whatsoever going on.
At least Joey Lucchesi is having another good outing....so far.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh well....now he's done after 5.1...after giving up a single and a walk.
I take full responsibility for jinxing it.
Castro coming in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Metsies dodged a bullet there.
Castro gets Zimmerman to GIDP.


0-0....heading to the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets squander Dom's leadoff walk in the 7th.
Stretching near the Potomac.

0-0


edit:
Castro sets the gnats down 1-2-3.

Onto the 8th.

FFS!
LFGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes....Mets are now scoreless in their last 20 innings of play.
Last run was scored in the 5th inning of Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughhhh

Stagnation.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets deserved to lose this game....
Nats walk off in the 9th...on Diaz (who has been lights out for weeks ....just crapped the bed...couldn't get an out)
Offense has been a complete shit show for the last 2 games.
It's a good time some of the regs are coming back in the next few days.

Final: gNats 1 - Mets 0

Guys better get their shit together for tomorrow's makeup double header.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Doldrums....

Hope this is just a quick little bump in the road and not some crazy precursor of a late June swoon heading into the AS break....

'Wasn't my day': Rare Díaz loss sinks Mets

WASHINGTON -- The highlight reel of Friday’s 1-0 Mets loss to the Nationals will show one thing more prominently than all else: Yan Gomes’ walk-off single against Edwin Díaz, which sent the Nats spilling out of their dugout in the ninth. But the endgame leading up to that point was

Gm 1 lineup

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have already scored more runs in the 1st inning today than in their entire previous 2 games combined.

Lindor’s 2 run HR gives the Mets a 2-0 lead.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lindor's rbi single in the 3rd gives the Mets a 3-0 lead.




They also have 4 hits today, which equals their hit output of the last 2 games. 2 thursday & 2 yesterday.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow....

Francisco Lindor is in the zone today.
He just hit another 2 run homer.....and has all 5 rbi in this one.

It's now 5-0 Mets in the 5th.

Muy Bueno!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I thought for sure Rojas would've left Peterson in there to get his 5 innings in.
Loup is now on the mound with 2 outs and 1 on.

But then I almost forgot today's game is only a 7 inning affair....because of the double header rule.


edit:

Loup gives up a 2 out single....it's now 5-1 Mets.
...and then he issues a walk.
but thank goodness he K's the next batter.

5-1 Mets heading to the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Miguel Castro is on the hill for the 6th.

Geeez.

What's with all the walks today...FFS.




edit:
Now Lugo is in.

2 outs...runners at 2nd & 3rd

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!
Lugo gets that 3rd out.
5-1 Mets....heading to the 7th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Trevor May comes in for the 7th.

And he gives up a leadoff single....then has the next hitter in an 0-2 hole...but walks him on 4 straight pitches.


Yikes.


Okay...the next batter GIDP 4-6-3.....thank you.
Still need 1 more out.

Yes!
May K's the next hitter for the final out.



Mets take the opener 5-1.
