[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bassitt threw another shutdown frame in the bottom 5th.

Also....after there were 2 outs in the 6th, Davis singled, Nido doubled.....then the Phils pitcher threw a WP scoring Davis.

6-1 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Wrap & Recap....

Phils' DH split vs. Mets sums up 2022 so far

PHILADELPHIA -- More than 60 hours had passed between the Phillies’ ninth-inning collapse to the Mets on Thursday and Kyle Gibson’s first pitch to the Mets in Game 1 of Sunday’s doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies needed the time. Two rainouts provided it. “Hit the reset button,” Gibson

Knock on wood he's been the one consistent in the pen:

Knock on wood he's been the one consistent in the pen:

Yep....he's been lights out no doubt....and fwiw Shreve has been solid too.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Also.... @Nasty_Magician while we're giving props to Lugo & Shreve...we can't overlook how Diaz has stepped up too in his closer role so far.
Would love for him to keep that going.
So far so good.


Anyway...I just wanted to post this really good article on the "Polar Bear"

When facing Mets, you must Beware the Bear

Pete Alonso hit two more home runs on Sunday against the Phillies, against whom he’s now got four in little more than a month. He now has seven homers for the season and 26 RBIs, which put him second in the Majors behind José Ramírez. So two more big flies

Absolutely, the relief I felt when he came back after that 2 or 3 game absence. Hopefully whatever head games he was going through are over with and we can trust this guy in a big game.

Mets Tuesday Lineup @ Washington ( Corbin)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

No score middle of the 4th. Would be nice to get Escobar going at some point.
Cookie looks good, but some run support would help.
We're gonna need it.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ugghhh...and right after I posted that he gave up b2b 1out singles...and then a 2 out run scoring double...but on the play, the 3rd out was made on a throw to the plate...from Nimmo to McNeil to McCann that nailed the trail runner.

1-0 Nats, heading to the 5th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets getting guys on base and opportunities to score...but not bringing them home so far.

1-0 bottom 5th.

Edit:
Cookie gave up a solo HR in the 5th.
Mets now trail 2-0...heading to the 6th.


Go Redsox, Mariners & Dbacks...lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!!
That's what I'm talking about.

Mets loaded the bases in the 6th....and w/ 1 out Jeff McNeil hit a 2 run double to tie the game 2-2.
Runners on 2nd & 3rd for McCann....

edit:
McCann's sac fly rbi gives the Mets a 3-2 lead...middle of the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets win the opener in DC, 4-2.
Cookie was solid. Bullpen too.

The Wrap & Recap....

Did a Rally Rat ignite Mets? No, Squirrel did

WASHINGTON -- Rat or raccoon, rat or mouse? The Mets don’t particularly care so long as they have a Squirrel. Perhaps it was the presence of a rat skittering across Nationals Park on Tuesday that ignited Jeff McNeil, or perhaps it was merely the fact that McNeil has been this

What a punk

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

What a punk

Meh...just a lame ass troll attempt by thor snore. Probably a little jealous too.
Something he'll likely never achieve...but if by chance he does then more power to him..but trying to discredit a MLB rarity was a dumb thing to do. A no-no by 1 pitcher or by 3,4 or 5 is still a legit no-no regardless.
We play @ the Angels in June. Hope he gets one of the starts.
Should be interesting.
