Scherzer now 4-0.

The Wrap/Recap....

Dom (4 hits) solidifies spot on Mets' roster

NEW YORK -- It does not take a degree in numerical analysis or linear algebra to understand the current predicament facing the Mets. When they began their 10-6 win over the Phillies on Sunday night at Citi Field, the Mets carried 28 players on their active roster. Before Monday’s game,

Trainer's Room....
Mets RHP Sean Reid-Foley was placed on the 10-day injured list with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow that will sideline him indefinitely.
It's possible he could need Tommy John surgery. Yoan López was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the bullpen spot.



Up Next....

New York hosts the Atlanta Braves on Monday night to close the home stand which included a Mets combined 5 pitcher no hitter on Friday.

RHP Chris Bassitt (3-1, 2.25 ERA) will start for the Mets against Braves LHP Max Fried (2-2, 3.00) in the opener of a four-game series that includes a doubleheader on Tuesday.

We had better keep Dom...and release Cano.

We had better keep Dom...and release Cano.

It's not even a question.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

It was the right call.

Mets 'make the baseball decision' to DFA Robinson Canó

NEW YORK -- As the Mets mulled Robinson Canó’s future over the weekend, general manager Billy Eppler gathered all the necessary info and relayed it to team owner Steve Cohen. Eppler told Cohen that his baseball operations department believed the best course of action would be to designate the...

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The fact that they left the door open for Cano to come back as a quality control coach or some other position within the organization is big. Shows class.... and the players & fans will appreciate that.

Mets Monday Lineup vs Atlanta ( Fried )

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead 2-0 end of 3.

Marté doubled, took 3rd on a sac fly...then scored on a WP in the 2nd.
Canha smacked a solo dinger over the left centerfield wall in the 3rd. (his 1st as a Met)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bassitt allowed a leadoff solo shot.
He caught too much of the plate with that 1-1 slider.

2-1 Mets mid 4th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Looks like Bassitt is getting low on gas and leaking oil here in the 6th.
2-2 tie now....still only 1 out with runners at 2nd & 3rd.

edit:

Now it's 3-2 Braves...but it was sac-fly rbi out that was turned into a DP...8-3-5 after the run scored.

3-2 Middle of the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bassitt with a much needed 1-2-3 bounce back inning. (now at 96 pitches)
Mets trail 3-2 at the stretch.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets loaded the bases after there were 2 outs, but couldn't get a run across.
Still down a run 3-2 after 7.
Canha struck out against the righty reliever (former Met Colin McHugh)
I hope Buck is saving Dom for an AB in the 8th, or if needed in the 9th.
I might have gone to him there to PH for Canha (even though he's been "hot")...and kept him in to play LF.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Welp looks like this won't be their night.
Trevor May gave up 2 runs in the 8th after he got 2 outs.
Then the Mets went 1-2-3 in their half.

5-2.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Trevor May has been off. Not great. We've shot ourselves in the foot several times in this one.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets drop the opening game 5-2.
Double header tomorrow.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Trevor May has been off. Not great. We've shot ourselves in the foot several times in this one.

Yep....I think the emotional high from the no-no on friday...and then last night's game was still lingering.

Also..fuck Travis D'Arnaud...his pansy ass couldn't stay healthy for some reason while he was on the Mets during those years. Plus he would never hit worth a crap.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lose 5-2.
Doubleheader on Tuesday.

Also...why blame Buck today for an umpiring crew's blunder yesterday?
Especially when....
Mets pitcher Yoan López, optioned to Triple-A Syracuse following Sunday's victory, received a three-game suspension that starts whenever he returns to the active big league roster — unless he appeals.

Trainer's Room:

Mets relief pitcher Trevor May said he's not 100% healthy and will have an MRI on Tuesday. "It's hard to compete when you're just worried about whether or not something's going to hurt to throw or not," he said. "By the end of tonight, I was just hoping that the ball was hit at somebody and that's no way to throw in a major league game. I don't deserve it, but my teammates definitely don't deserve it. It's to the point now where I hope we either find something or find nothing."


Up Next:
The teams play a single-admission doubleheader Tuesday. RHP Charlie Morton (1-2, 7.00 ERA) will start the opener for Atlanta, with RHP Kyle Wright (3-0, 1.13) going in the nightcap. RHP Carlos Carrasco (1-1, 4.09) and LHP David Peterson will pitch for the Mets, although Buck Showalter would not reveal the order until Tuesday.

Bassitt says 'let's move on' after apology exchange with ump

NEW YORK -- Upon recording what he believed to be a called third strike against Dansby Swanson in the fifth inning on Monday night, Mets right-hander Chris Bassitt skipped off the Citi Field mound, dropped his head, and took a half dozen steps toward the dugout before realizing the surprising
