[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stro got out of a little jam in the top of the 6th....and now has 8 K's and has only thrown 75 pitches.

Meanwhile the Mets added a run in their half....on Dom Smith rbi groundout.

3-0 Mets heading to the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And right after I posted that ^ Tatis Jr. just took Stro deep.

3-1.


edit....
Stro gives up a 1 out walk in the 7th....and is now being replaced by Aaron Loup.
Damn..maybe I jinxed him?

J/K....it was still a quality start.
6.1 IP......1 R.... 6 H....1 BB.....8 K's.....85 pitches.


edit.2:

Loup gets the other 2 outs.

Stretch time at Citi....3-1 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Seth Lugo takes the mound for the 8th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lugo K's the first 2 batters..and after allowing a 2 out walk, he K's the next batter.

It's so good to have him back.

3-1 Mets...mid 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bueno!
Caballo Loco!!

Villar....Adios Pelota!!!

4-1 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sugar Diaz time.
3 up/3 down.

Put it in the Books.
Mets win 4-1.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Just keep winning series. Gotta love this stretch, Lindor has come around. Just need that back of the rotation to clean itself up and for guys to get healthy.

Final:
Mets 4 - Padres 1
Stroman FTW!


The Wrap/Recap....

Stroman K's 8, rides 'great vibe' to win

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ unsuccessful pursuit of Trevor Bauer this winter was supposed to end their chances of constructing a super-rotation. Yes, the Mets still had Jacob deGrom and several other well-regarded pitchers, but without Bauer, they were not supposed to possess one of the league’s best...

Notes: deGrom plays catch, feels 'fine'

NEW YORK -- As a small group huddled around Jacob deGrom on Saturday afternoon, Mets pitching coach Jeremy Hefner emerged from the clubhouse to state the obvious. “He’s throwing,” Hefner said. “That’s a good sign.” It was indeed a positive development for deGrom, who exited Friday’s win over the...

Trainer's Room....

An MRI on Mets RHP Jacob deGrom (right flexor tendinitis) came back clean, and he is expected to make his next start Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. ... 2B Jeff McNeil (hamstring) and OF Michael Conforto (hamstring) ran the bases. McNeil is to start a rehab assignment Sunday. ... RF Billy McKinney (sore right knee) was a late scratch from the starting lineup. An MRI on McKinney came back clean and Rojas said he is day-to-day.

Forgot to post this stat last night:
Tatis Jr struck out 3 times on Friday and again on Saturday making it the 1st time in his short career he’s done that in b2b games.

Mets Sunday Lineup vs San Diego (Paddack)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Padres scored a run in the 1st on a Pham HR.
Lucchesi went five solid innings otherwise.
Peraza got the Mets on the board with a 2 run HR in the 5th.
Familia tossed a scoreless frame in the 6th.
Mets had 2 on with no outs in the 6th but couldn't cash in.

2-1 Mets after 6.


edit:

Rojas sends Familia back out for the 7th...and he issues a 4 pitch walk...and then gives up a PH single.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

After he managed to get 2 outs...Familia issued another walk to load the bases.

And for some reason Rojas is leaving him out there....
So of course Familia issues yet another 4 pitch walk to force in the tying run....LOL

Now he's pulled for Jacob Barnes...who has to face Tatis Jr w/ the bags full.

So. effing. dumb.

2-2 game....for now.

This should end well.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Right on cue...and so very predictable.
Tatis jr...cleared them all.

Grand Salami....and that gets followed by a Machado solo shot.

7-2 Padres at the stretch.

Rojas is a clown.
Time to explore other options....and get rid of Familia.

Just a terrible display, and a horrible way to give momentum away with the Cubs coming to town for 4 beginning Monday.
