NY Mets ~~ May 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Uh oh..here we go.
Peterson just gave up a leadoff solo HR in the 8th.....and then a double.

2-1 game.

Buckle up.....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Peterson gets a strikeout, and the is pulled for Trevor May in the 8th.
Quality outing nonetheless.

1 out. 1 on.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dammit....May gives up a 2 out rbi double on a 2-2 pitch right down the middle that ties the game...
Still gotta get 1 more out here...

edit: May k'd the next hitter.

2-2 tie heading to the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeeesh.
Pete wears the golden sombrero.
4 whiffs

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets get 2 on (Pillar & Villar) after 2 were out...but then McCann (who I'm starting to thing is pretty much worthless) goes after the 1st pitch he sees and grounds out.

2-2 tie heading to the bottom of the 9th.
Miguel Castro coming in for NY.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon guys....FFS...please get it together.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this one will end well for the orange and blue crew.


Castro leaves with the bases loaded and only 1 out.

Aaron Loup coming in....


Also.....that place has no business being a MLB venue.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And of course with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th the Mets lose it 3-2.

7 game wining streak snapped in an awful way....in an awful place.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets drop the opener 3-2.

Peterson strong, but Mets' streak ends at 7

Left-hander David Peterson had the best outing of his career, but it wasn’t enough as the Rays edged the Mets, 3-2, at Tropicana Field on Friday night. The loss snapped New York’s seven-game winning streak as its record dropped to 18-14. • Box score The Rays won the game in

Kelenic's big night 'everything you dream of'

SEATTLE -- Jarred Kelenic does a lot of things loudly, and his first Major League hit was no exception. The Mariners’ prized outfield prospect crushed a 403-foot homer into the right-center-field bleachers that emphatically left his bat at 109.3 mph during the third inning of Friday’s 7-3 win...

Mets Saturday Lineup @ Tampa Bay (McClanahan)

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Luchessi sucks. Need Carrasco and Thor back asap.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Luchessi sucks. Need Carrasco and Thor back asap.

Yep....Rojas' stupid BP day really backfired horribly today.

We also need Lugo back asap.
I think he's a lot closer to returning than Thor & C.C.

I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention Familia sucks too.

Mets trounced 12-5

'Positive attitude' easy after Rays' rout

Left-hander Josh Fleming was speaking to head of mental performance Justin Su’a when the Rays were trailing by two on Friday night at Tropicana Field. Even with that deficit in place, Fleming said, Su’a confidently stated, “We’re going to win this game. I just have this feeling.” A few hours

Mets Sunday Lineup @ the Rays (Fleming)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets down 5-1 after 6...(Patrick Mazeika hit a solo HR)

Sheeeesh...
New season...same old story....training staff and medical crew are inept.
McNeil hurt....Conforto hurt.....McCann't is a bust. Lindor hasn't arrived yet.
Half of the rotation doesn't get run support....the other half is on the IL.....The BP has issues.
Pete's homecoming has been a huge disappointment.


It is what it is.

I'm just gonna devote more of my attention on the Knicks for the time being.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Knicks beat the Celtics a bit ago to nail down the 4 seed..and secured home court advantage in the 1st round.
Been a long time coming.

#PropsBockers!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Another *silver lining day after today's Mets 7-1 loss....and getting swept. (And I will maintain that alleged "ball park" the Rays call home is a poorly lit dump, and has no business being open for a MLB team in 2021. I mean, what is this...1972??

*The Phils & Braves both lost too. *Amazingly, the Mets are still in 1st place in the NL east, but by the slimmest of margins.

Stroman (3 HRs) struggles as Mets fall

It turned out to be a very bad weekend for the Mets. Right-hander Marcus Stroman was hurt by the long ball Sunday afternoon as New York lost to Tampa Bay, 7-1, at Tropicana Field, completing the Rays' three-game sweep. New York dropped to 18-16, but they remain in first place

Conforto, McNeil exit early with injuries

The Mets were hit hard by injuries Sunday afternoon, when right fielder Michael Conforto and designated hitter Jeff McNeil left early in the 7-1 loss to the Rays because of hamstring injuries. Conforto exited in the first inning at Tropicana Field with right hamstring tightness, and McNeil left...

Everything clicks as Rays finish sweep

What happens when you add a suddenly scorching lineup to a stingy pitching staff and a defense as sturdy as any in the game? You get the Rays, who seem to be hitting their stride after completing a three-game sweep of the Mets with a 7-1 win on Sunday afternoon
