It must be all about pitching.

1 mets .229/.313 era 3.28 - 38 games
2 phils .237/.311 era 4.24 - 45 games
3 braves .234/.315 era 4.41 - 45 games
4 marlins .231/.296 era 3.50 - 44 games
5 nats .253/.322 era 3.99 - 41 games

Mets Saturday Lineup @ Marlins(Lopez)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets leave the bases loaded in the 1st.
No score....mid 1st.
If Lucchesi can last 3 innings today without getting shelled / allowing numerous runs I’d call it a small victory and go to the pen for another pitcher by the 4th.....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

.....So far so good.
No score after 3.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well...I'm not sure what got into Joey Lucchesi today , but he threw & looked like an ace in his 4 IP.

Reid-Foley took over in the 5th....and has given up 2 hits...and now with 2 outs, an IBB to load the bases.
And he K's the pitcher to get out of it.

Still a scoreless tie.
Onto the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Loup replaced Reid -Foley in the 7th w/ 2 on & 1 out.
Fish scored a run on a sac fly out off Loup....then he got out # 3.

1-0 Miami heading to the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have runners on 1st and 2nd (both walks) w/ 1 out in the 8th.
Need Maybin to come thru here...


Edit:
Ugghhh...he K'd on 3 pitches.

Sheeesh.....Rojas has to get Maybin out of that 3 hole.
Although it's a small sample size....but he hasn't done squat since he was signed a few days ago.

Dom Smith up...and he'll face a lefty....as Mattingly makes the move.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!
Dom ties the game 1-1 in the 8th with a clutch 2 out rbi single.

Miguel Castro replaced Loup to begin the bottom half...and he calmly tossed a 1-2-3 inning.

1-1 tie...heading to the 9th.

LGM!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Tovar worked a walk to leadoff the Mets 9th...but got stranded there.

Drew Smith comes in to pitch for NY.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh well..Smith got the 1st 2 outs, then gave up a single, and a walk off HR in the 9th

Mets lose 3-1.
Rubber game mañana.

Also a good possibility we could get at least 1 regular player back off the IL by then.

 

[jvett77]

That’s usually been the case....but there are also outliers depending on the team.

True. In this case it's somewhat meaningful at this point.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Marlins 3 - Mets 1

Lucchesi, bullpen tremendous ... until 9th

It turned out to be a bullpen day for the Mets on Saturday at loanDepot park and it went well until the final inning, when Garrett Cooper hit a walk-off home run to sink the Mets, 3-1. The game was tied at 1 when Miami won it in the bottom
