What the hell happened to Lugo?

Seth Lugo gives up a 2 run HR in the 8th.
6-4 Mets...mid 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

What the hell happened to Lugo?

Tipping pitches?
Not used to Maz?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow....

I was watching the NBA playoff game...

Mets busted it open and are putting this game to bed....they now lead 11-4.

Awesome!!

I was hoping it wasn't an oblique injury or strain.
Those can take a while to heal.
We'll know more on Thursday.

Scherzer undergoes MRI for left-side discomfort

NEW YORK -- For a team built around a pair of ace pitchers, losing one to injury is difficult. Losing both could be cataclysmic. Already playing the first half of this season without one of their aces, the Mets on Wednesday faced the prospect of potentially proceeding without another. Max

Mets Thursday Series Finale Lineup vs. Cardinals (Hudson)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

As long as it's not a UCL.

From what I heard from him and what I’ve read, it’s nothing related to his pitching arm, but something to do with his left side.
And fwiw I don’t think it’s too serious... nor does he.
Maybe just some stiffness or muscle spasm.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets scored twice in the 1st...on a Pete rbi single, and a McNeil rbi FC.
Bassitt allowed solo dingers in the 2nd & 3rd.
Mets have also already hit into 2 DP's
Tied 2-2 after 3.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ugghh....well that just figures doesn't it?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Meanwhile...the Cards have taken a 3-2 lead in the 5th.
Mets need to get on the ball here.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets tie it up in the 5th.
Guillorme doubled, moved to 3rd on Nido's bunt, and scored on Nimmo's rbi grounder to 1st.
Nicely executed.

But wait there's more.....After the Cards went to their pen...they loaded the bases with 2 outs....
Canha & Lindor singled...Pete walked.....then McNeil knocked in another 2 runs.



5-3 Mets end of 5.


Edit:
Bassitt bounces back with a quick 1-2-3 shutdown frame in the 6th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Not liking our BP giving a run back here in the 7th....but McNeil made a nice catch in foul ground and throw to 2B for a DP to get out of the inning.

5-4 Mets at the stretch.

Edit:
Mets had 2nd & 3rd with 2 outs...but couldn't cash in.

Onto the 8th.
Drew Smith back on the bump.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Onto the 9th inning.
Mets clinging to a 5-4 lead.
Edwin (sugar) Diaz time.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeesh...5-5 tie.
Cards scored a run with 2 outs.
Mets in danger of giving this one away.

Edit:
It took Diaz 35 pitches to get through that inning.

5-5 heading to the bottom of the 9th.
Top of the order coming up.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

5-5 tie.
Instead of heading to Laguardia for a flight to Colorado with a series win in their pockets, the Mets are now heading to extra innings.


Edit:
Holderman got Pujols to GIDP...but a run scored.
6-5 Cards....mid 10th.
Lindor will be the runner on 2B.

Sigh. Come on guys, you can't lose this game. Good teams don't lose this game.
