NY Mets ~~ June 2021

[HR.]

We're still holding that 4/5 game lead over the rest of the division, if we can keep that intact by hanging tough and playing .500 ball until the all star break it will feel like a success.

We're still holding that 4/5 game lead over the rest of the division, if we can keep that intact by hanging tough and playing .500 ball until the all star break it will feel like a success.

I agree. I've been thinking the same thing for the last couple of weeks.

Mets lineup for tonight @ Washington (Espino)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes....so when are the Mets gonna decide to show up for this one?

Gnats have hit 3 solo HR's.......b2b in the 1st....and 1 in the 2nd.

Already trailing 3-0 in the 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm gonna reiterate.....Pete needs to forget about the upcoming HR derby at the AS game in Denver....and instead, focus on hitting them in the games that actually count....like this one, and the 3 in Atlanta that begin tomorrow.

3-0 Washington.
Heading to the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

4-0 now...Schwarber with another multi HR game against the Mets.
We just might want to think about pitching him "a bit inside" for the rest of the season...if you catch my drift.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have nothing going on.
This one is done.
4-0...mid 6th.

Just about time for me to tune out, and watch the NBA playoff game.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

We are dead last in the league in runs per game. I know we've battled injuries but that's unacceptable.

Pete, Dom, Lindor all need to start raking. McNeil and Conforto I'll give another week.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Castro is trash.
Mets tried to turn it into a game late....but between Rojas & Castro, and some shoddy defense, it just wasn't meant to be.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final
Nats 8 - Mets 4

Silver lining....(if you want to call it that)...Philly lost in Cincy.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lose the makeup game 8-4.

Mets 'moving forward' as NL East lead slims

Although most major projection systems favored the Mets in the NL East heading into this season, the game’s more human evaluators tended to take a wait-and-see approach. As talented as the Mets were on paper, they were not the three-time defending division champions. That epithet belonged to the...

Moves...

Mets OF Brandon Nimmo (detached hand ligament) was expected to join the team Tuesday but will remain on his minor-league rehab with Triple-A Syracuse. Nimmo has been out since May 3, and the Mets want Nimmo to get more at-bats. He has not had a setback, manager Luis Rojas said. ... RHP Marcus Stroman was placed on the bereavement list Monday. Sean Reid-Foley was called up from Triple-A.

NY Mets Tuesday Lineup @ Atlanta ( Morton)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well Megill looked good for 4.2 innings than ran out of gas....giving up b2b 2 out singles, then after a mound visit he surrendered a 3 run HR in the 5th....then finally gets the 3rd out.


Mets bats are silent and still unable to get anything going offense wise.

Becoming unwatchable again.

5-0 Braves heading to the 6th.

Geeez...
Can someone please light a fucking fire under these guys sometime soon??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow....
I was watching the NBA playoff game....


About time they showed up.
McCann crushed a 3 run HR....and Lindor hit a 2 out rbi single.
Mets take a 4-3 lead into the 7th inning stretch.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Drew Smith held them scoreless in the 6th.
Now Trevor May is in for the 7th.

LGM!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hey Hey Hey...the Mets held on FTW....4-3.



Huge!

Good thing too..because the Nats & Phillies both won...and oddly enough, both by the same 4-3 score. Weird!

The Wrap/Recap....

Resiliency the key as Mets rally vs. Braves

Until the seventh inning on Tuesday, the Mets had no answers for Charlie Morton, particularly James McCann, who fanned on a fifth-inning curveball that wasn’t even close to the strike zone. But McCann had the last laugh against Morton, skying a cutter into the seats in the seventh to spark

Up Next....

Braves LHP Max Fried will return to the rotation Wednesday after missing one turn with a blister on his index finger.
Fried (4-4, 4.21) faces Mets LHP David Peterson (2-5, 4.95) as the teams play the second game of a three-game series.
Peterson is 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA in three career starts against Atlanta.
Fried is 3-2 and a 2.73 ERA in nine career starts and six relief appearances against New York.

 

[HR.]

Another solid effort from Megill, have to be happy with what he's provided so far.

Good to see Lindor get the winning RBI - he's been making a lot more hard contact recently.
