NY Mets ~~ June 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Trevor May now in to begin the bottom 8th.

And he sets them down in order on just 9 pitches.

2-0 Padres.....heading to the 9th.

Last chance for the Amazins.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LIndor singles with 1 out....
McCann gets robbed by the ump, K's looking (the ball was inside/low)...and he gets ejected for arguing...then Rojas also gets tossed. Alonso singles....Mets now have the tying runs on with 2 outs.

But no Tomas Nido to bat for Drury???

Hmmmmmm....

So Drury K's after fouling off the 1st 4 pitches...to end it.

Final SD 2 - Mets Zippo. But at least they avoided getting no hit.

There were a decent amount of Mets fans at Petco.

Game #50 on the season.

Mets lose 2-0

Mets' best chance vanishes vs. sharp Snell

SAN DIEGO -- How quickly frustration turned to hope for the Mets late Friday night at Petco Park, where Blake Snell had so thoroughly dominated them over the first six innings. The Mets knew their best remaining chance to crack a hit off Snell would occur in the seventh, with

Snell allows just one hit: 'This is my night'

SAN DIEGO -- In January, after the Padres traded for Blake Snell and then Yu Darvish and then Joe Musgrove, the expectations for their starting rotation grew as high as they've ever been. Reasonably so. On paper, this was probably the best rotation in franchise history. And it still might

Final:
Mets 4 - Padres 0
deGrom was lights out. Offense picks up. Lugo & Diaz were solid.


The Wrap/Recap....

Top competition for deGrom? Record book

SAN DIEGO -- Major League Baseball’s modern, single-season ERA record belongs to Dutch Leonard, who produced a 0.96 mark in 1914. Over the past century, no pitcher has managed to top Bob Gibson, whose 1.12 ERA highlighted a 1968 campaign so thoroughly dominated by pitchers that the league...

Padres' bats stifled by razor-sharp deGrom

SAN DIEGO -- Set aside the Padres' 4-0 loss to the Mets on Saturday night. Jacob deGrom regularly baffles the best hitters in the sport. This was no different. It'd be awfully unfair to judge San Diego's lineup depth based on its performance against the consensus best pitcher alive.

[Nasty_Magician]

Splitting a series with a top end team while we're shorthanded is huge.

Final:
Mets win 6 - 2 and get the series split 2-2.

Stro went 6.2 and helped his own cause w/ an rbi double.
Smith & McCann homered.

Stroman confounds Padres, then hits RBI 2B

SAN DIEGO -- Marcus Stroman’s decision to accept the Mets’ $18.9 million qualifying offer this offseason came as a modest surprise in baseball circles, particularly after the right-hander had talked so openly about wanting to explore free agency. Evolving market conditions eventually changed his...

Just found out about this...

Jarred Kelenic’s Mariners demotion was necessary, and one that can be beneficial with some patience – The Seattle Times

Jarred Kelenic sent to minors after awful Mariners start

Maybe Brodie Van Wagenen knew what he was doing all along.

Mets Tuesday Lineup @ Baltimore (Zimmerman)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

BOOM!

Pete goes yard....2 run blast...after a Lindor walk.
2-0 Mets right out of the gate.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Might be time to either dump Peterson, move him to the bullpen strictly for mop up duty...or send him down to the farm to work his shit out.

Dude is regressing terribly.

O's 3 - Mets 2 ...end of the 2nd.

 

[HR.]

Gary has been hilarious tonight - first roasting the umps for that horrible review and then implying Peterson is using sticky stuff (badly).
