[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

He strikes out the next 2 batters....but now faces Acuna.

GS looming?

 

[HR.]

DIAZ!!

Love Lindor's passion and leadership.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...now that was impressive. Yennsy Diaz struck out Acuna...and the side after loading the bases.

0-0 mid 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

DIAZ!!

Love Lindor's passion and leadership.

Indeed.
One of the reasons ownership was clamoring to sign him.
That's a tangible asset and trait that can't really be taught...you either have it, or you don't.
He definitely has it...and the Mets are a better team because of it.....imho.

Now...all these mounting injuries is another story altogether.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well there goes that good feeling...it was fleeting.
A 1 out single and walk...followed by a 2 out 3 run HR.
3-0 Braves...mid 3rd.

Would be nice if our entire team decided to circle the wagons and show up in this one.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I don't know what Dom was looking for or even swinging at there.
Whatever it was he needs to toss it in the trash for good.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This offense has gone totally dry.

Chili Davis where are you????

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Drew Smith with 2 good innings out of the pen....which is a welcome sight.

LGM!

 

[HR.]

The offence is just so bad. They can't generate anything. Looks like another shutout game - our only hit is from a pitcher who just got called up!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Offense was lifeless again....glad I left after the 5th inning to watch the NBA playoffs.

Mets lose 3-0...and they only had 2 hits in the game.



They can rectify that with a win and get the series split tomorrow.

Stro (left hip soreness) exits early in loss

NEW YORK -- For more than three minutes early Tuesday evening, a group gathered around Marcus Stroman on the Citi Field mound, debating the pros and cons of having him stay in the game. Stroman’s left hip was ailing -- that much was clear. But the Mets were in a

Conforto on way back from injured list

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ march toward a full, healthy lineup is about to take another significant step forward, though not quite as quickly as the team originally intended. The Mets made plans to activate Michael Conforto from the injured list in time for Tuesday’s game against the Braves, but

Lucchesi to undergo Tommy John surgery

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ starting rotation suffered another significant blow this week, when an MRI revealed that Joey Lucchesi has a full UCL tear in his left elbow. A second opinion confirmed the recommendation of Tommy John surgery for Lucchesi, who will undergo that operation on Thursday. The...

Up next:
Mets latest call up, right-hander Tylor Megill is expected to make his big league debut. Megill, who is 2-1 with a 3.35 ERA in eight starts between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse, will pitch in place of Joey Lucchesi, who was injured Friday and will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery Thursday.

Well that's some good news at least.
Maybe he just took a weird step during a windup, or on a follow through after a pitch while on the mound yesterday which affected his hip. It happens. Hopefully he's gonna be good to go for his next start.

But, in a more sinister vein, and because we're talking about the Mets here...I pray it wasn't a grounds crew issue.
That's happened before too.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Not sure how I feel about this yet...but as of now I do have some trepidation...

Pete Alonso to defend HR Derby crown

D-Mitch.
Would've/could've been nice no doubt...but I think he chose the right path.
Still awesome to have him in the fan base though that's for sure.

Conforto returns....


Mets Wednesday Lineup vs the Braves.

 

[HR.]

Good start tonight. Some hits, some other hard contact.

This pitcher for the Braves is struggling to throw strikes so we should be able to put up a few more runs.

Hope so. I'll take those semi unconventional runs any day of the week.

Also hope some of the Mets RH hitters lay off that guy's low & away stuff, because he'll feed them a steady diet of that if they don't. And welcome back Michael Conforto. His double after the Lindor's walk set the table for those 2 runs (WP and rbi groundout)
