NY Mets ~~ June 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

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.

Absolutely.
And the bullpen was great in this one....they got 4 scoreless innings from 4 different guys, each pitching 1.
(Smith, May, Lugo & Diaz ) Much needed.
Wednesday it'll be Peterson starting....then on Thursday it's deGrom-inator.

LGM!

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PETE!
BANG!
2 Run Rocket right out of the gate after there were 2 outs.
Pillar doubled to lead it off.

2-0 Mets mid 1st.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Peterson gives 1 right back.

Acuna leadoff HR

2-1

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Now he gives another back...single.....WP....then another single

2-2


Lovely

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I am definitely not a David Peterson fan.
Dude needs to go.

Braves now lead 4-2....end of the 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Peterson is just hell bent on giving away more free bases....and runs as a result thereof.

5-2 now.

And he's finally pulled in the 4th.


Sean Reid-Foley takes over.

edit:
He's not doing much better either.

Yikes.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughh
7-2 now.

The Carlos Carrasco situation is starting to backfire.....and the domino effect is now happening.


Btw:
the Nats have already won again today.....and the Phils are leading.


edit...now 8-2 Braves.

NBA playoff game 6, here I come.
LOL

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

10-2.....still in the 4th....still only 1 out.

Sean Reid-Foley out.....
....new call up Thomas Szapucki is now in.

Runners on 2nd & 3rd.


Now 11-2.
Stick the fork in this one.
Mets/Braves rubber game tomorrow.



It's now officially NBA hoops time.
Good night, guys.

That 2-0 lead was fun.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hopefully the front office is paying serious attention.

The Mets were on the ass end of a real bad butt kicking tonight...and a bunch of it was self induced.

This team, for all the good they've done so far, still has lots of holes & weak spots that need to be addressed and remedied real soon.


Final:
Braves 20 - Mets 2.

Peterson (sharp pain in right side) exits loss

On Tuesday night, the Mets only needed one inning of offense to secure a win over the Braves. On Wednesday, however, that production didn’t quite cut it. New York jumped out to a two-run lead in the first at Truist Park, but Atlanta fired back early and often to hand

Megill's poise, talent impressing Mets

Two starts into his career, something about Tylor Megill has already stood out to Mets catcher James McCann: He’s a “slow heartbeat guy.” “Even warming up for his first big league start, there was no panic,” McCann explained. “There was no stressing on his part. Almost a...

Up Next....
New York's Jacob deGrom (7-2, 0.69) will face Atlanta's Ian Anderson (5-4, 3.42) in a matchup of right-handers in Thursday night's final game of the series.

Has there ever been a worse/more frustrating first place team this deep into a season?

I'm sure there have been, but it's probably been a while.

Just gonna finish up this series in here...and start a July thread tomorrow. #LGM

7/1
Mets @ Braves
Rubber game.
It's Jake Day.


Mets Lineup @ Atlanta (Anderson)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets strike 1st....
Lindor worked a 1 out walk....and stole 2nd.
Conforto singled him home.



For some reason Pete went after the 1st pitch and flied out.

1-0 Mets...mid 1st.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughh.....here we go again.

Jake gave up 3 runs in the 1st...
When was the last time that happened?? I'm gonna say probably never since he's been in the majors.

Triple....1 out single.....2 run HR.

Mets trail 3-1 in the 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Okay now I feel like I have to ask.....is Atlanta pulling a Houston with a sign stealing scheme??
Or is Jake less than 100% health wise...and/or possibly tipping his pitches??

edit:
Thank goodness he kept them from scoring again in the 2nd.
After giving up a leadoff double and then a single, he struck out the side...but he's really having to work harder.
