NY Mets -- May 2022

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets Tuesday Game 1 Lineup vs Braves ( Morton)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets scored twice in the 1st...but Peterson was having a struggle in the 2nd...and failed to throw a shutdown frame.

2-1 Mets mid 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets put up 2 more in the 2nd to lead it 4-1 heading to the 3rd.
Hopefully Peterson protects the lead..or at least some of it.

edit:
Yes...D.P. tosses a shutdown inning
...but his pitch count is zooming, and he's already walked 3.

Still 4-1 Mets ...middle of the 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Peterson tosses a 1-2-3 inning in the 4th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice...... Run, Travis Run!

5-1 Mets...Canha's RBI Sac-Fly plates Jankowski ( stole 2nd/took 3rd on d'Arnaud's E-2)

Onto the 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ugghhh...Peterson absolutely crapping the bed in the 5th.
Leadoff single...strikeout...E-1 throwing error....3 run HR....single.....mound conference......pop out.
2 outs...1 on.

He's almost at 90 pitches now.
Likely his last batter here...whether he gets him or not.

edit:
He came back to whiff d'Arnaud looking to end it.

5-4 game...mid 5th.

Sheeeesh.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets go down 1-2-3 in their half.....on just 7 pitches...

5-4 heading to the 6th.

Adam Ottavino takes over for Peterson.
Hope I'm wrong but I fear that lead will be gone soon.

Edit:
Glad I was wrong.
Nice job by A.O. there.
He threw a quick 1-2-3 inning (w/ 2K's)

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have 2 on with 2 outs.....
Braves going to their BP for Chavez...to face Canha & hopefully Lindor then Pete.

Nope...bupkis.
Canha whiffed.

That might have been another possible Dom moment to PH there...(Lefty hitter vs a RHP)...but I digress.

5-4 Mets....heading to the 7th.
Drew Smith will be on the hill for NY.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Never a good idea to give up a 2 out walk....
But no harm this time.... Smith came back to get the next batter.

5-4 Mets at the 7th inning stretch.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Drew Smith with another solid inning of relief in the 8th.

5-4 Mets... heading to the bottom half.


Edit:

Marte singled...but was caught stealing.

Onto the 9th.
Diaz time.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

YES!
Put It In The Books!

Mets FTW...5-4 in game 1.
Sugar for the save.



Game 2 a little later.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Getting it done...

Mets Tuesday Game 2 Lineup vs Braves (Wright)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

DOM!!

2 run double.

Mets jump out in front 2-0 end of 1

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets still lead 2-0 heading to the 6th.

Gonna step out for a bit to check out some NBA playoffs.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Looks like the Mets had a good 6th inning in both halves.
Cookie worked out of a little jam in the top half...
...then Pete led off the bottom half with a solo bomb. (#5)

Mets lead it 3-0 now heading to the 7th.

LGM!


Ummm ...seems Max Scherzer has been ejected from the dugout by the HP ump....??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cookie went 8 solid innings of shutout ball.

Muy Bueno, Hombre!
Gracias!




Mets 3 - Braves 0...middle of the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon, Lugo...please don't EFF this up in the 9th here.

Edit....
after the leadoff single, Lugo got a pop up...then a game ending around the horn GIDP.

Mets take the nightcap 3-0.

Put it in the Double Header Sweep Books!!!
