NY Mets ~~ June 2021

[HR.]

Walker is pitching really well, did a nice job of working around those early hits and has settled in beautifully now. Filthy two seamer to get the K on Mullins to end the fifth inning.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Billy McKinney's solo dinger in the 5th ups the lead to 8-1.

Walker cruising right along, sets down the O's 1-2-3 in the 5th...and now in the 6th too.




Onto the 7th.
8-1, Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Quality outing by Walker tonight.
And a much needed one.
Also nice to see the offense clicking again.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pillar goes yard again.

9-1.

edit:
Mason Williams goes b2b.....1st HR.

10-1.

 

[HR.]

Well this definitely makes up for yesterday.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I had to do a double take.....I thought I was seeing things...LOL

But it's true....Familia actually just threw a no drama 1-2-3 inning of relief in the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete's RBI double scores Villar (who also doubled ) makes it 11-1 in the 9th.


And now McKinney goes deep again?
Wow! 3 run blast.


Now a 14-1 game.



Hey guys....save some of that for Friday at home against the Padres....lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dude is a keeper.
He has to be.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Put it in the revenge books.

Mets get the series split.....winning 14-1.

Hot Damn!

 

[HR.]

O's last four games have been 4-10, 18-5, 10-3 and 1-14!

Phillies walked off the Braves so a good day all round for the Mets.

Love it.

Final:

Nice way to finish that road trip.


The Wrap/Recap....

In 1st place at one-third mark: Mets crush O's

BALTIMORE -- Front-office executives like to divide the season into thirds. The first third is all about evaluation: figure out where the strengths and weaknesses of the roster lie. The second is about action: make the trades or acquisitions necessary to fulfill the team’s goals. The final...

Trainer's Room....
Mets manager Luis Rojas said RHP Carlos Carrasco (right hamstring strain) is playing catch but not throwing side sessions. The manager said there's been no reinjury, but the team doesn't want to rush him.
Rojas was noncommittal about whether backup INF Luis Guillorme (right oblique strain) would be back for Friday's game against San Diego, but his return seems imminent.


Up Next....
After the Mets have an off day on Thursday, New York will send ace RHP Jacob deGrom (5-2, 0.62 ERA) to the mound Friday night for the start of a home series against the SD Padres, who will go with LHP Blake Snell (2-2,4.83 ERA).

What's all this about?....and where is it heading??

Mets' Alonso: MLB 'manipulates' ball based on FA

Mets first baseman Pete Alonso said Wednesday that he disagrees with MLB's crackdown on pitcher-friendly sticky substances, and that the larger issue facing the sport is the league's manipulation of baseballs depending on free-agent class.

Donaldson clarifies comments on Cole

MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Donaldson says that his intent was not to single out Yankees ace Gerrit Cole as a lead figure in any way as part of his recent comments regarding increased enforcement of pitchers' use of sticky substances to improve their spin rates. But it just so happened that

The Phils walked off again today on the Braves. LOL

Hard to believe just a few days shy of mid June, that we're still the only team in our division with a winning record and playing over .500 ball, and that every other division in the majors has at least 2 or 3 of their teams above .500.
We've been doing it for the most part with call ups, replacements, bench & roll players.

Amazing.

So far, so good...but summer is right around the corner...and the schedule will be tougher.
Hope these guys can keep it going, and we get some/most of the regulars back soon.

LGM!

YGB!

Tracking Jacob deGrom's pursuit of history

As Jacob deGrom continues his historic 2021 season, we’re keeping track of his chances at breaking three notable ERA records, as well as other fun facts and stats. First, there’s Dutch Leonard’s 0.96 mark from 1914, the lowest ERA by a qualified pitcher in a single season since earned runs

deGrom has no speed limit on heater

How has Jacob deGrom put together the lowest ERA (0.62) through a pitcher’s first nine starts since ERA became a thing? Well, one could point to his pinpoint command, his deep arsenal of pitches or his mental toughness. But let’s not bury the lede here: deGrom is now the fastest-throwing

5 facts about deGrom we bet you don't know

NEW YORK -- It can be easy to view Jacob deGrom’s career as nothing more than a whirl of numbers. His Major League-leading 0.62 ERA evokes Bob Gibson. His two National League Cy Young Awards have historical precedent. His statistics compare favorably even with those of Tom Seaver.
