NY Mets -- May 2022

Mets Wednesday Lineup @ Washington ( Sanchez)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well shit...this one is off to a weird start.
Mets score 3 in the 1st....but Megill gives 5 runs right back in the bottom half.

He's at 38 pitches after 1.
5-3 Nats.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ummmmm I hope there's nothing wrong health wise with Megill.
He just gave up a 3 run HR in the 2nd....it's now 8-3...and he's pushing 60 pitches.
I wonder if he prefers pitching to McCann like he was for most of his prior starts.
Nido was primarily Max's battery mate but now he uses McCann. Maybe Buck is toiling with different looks?
If so, that's not working out so well.
And now he's out.....Trevor Williams takes over in the 2nd.
Something's up....hope nothing serious.

NBA playoffs...here I come.
Check back later.

Up Next:
Rubber game matinee on Thursday.
New York's Taijuan Walker (0-0, 4.91 ERA) and Washington's Joan Adon (1-5, 6.99) are the scheduled starters.

Megill after the loss....

Megill's vow: 'I'm not going to let this one define me'

WASHINGTON -- It would have been easy, following Tylor Megill’s near-spotless start to the season, to lull oneself into believing he might never face adversity. Megill had demonstrated plenty of improvement over the first five weeks of the season, even eliciting Jacob deGrom comparisons as he...

Gary & Keith were just talking about the Daily News article on Pete's notebook....

Pretty good read...

Pete Alonso still writes in his marble notebook after every game

WASHINGTON — Pete Alonso can be found at his locker, after every game, hunched over a black and white marble composition notebook with a pen in his hand. It’s a habitual postgame patter…

Also...Lugo is now on for the bottom of the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Seth Lugo tossed a 1-2-3 8th. (2 K's)

Mark Canha hit a solo jack in the 9th.
4-0 Mets.

Edwin Diaz comes in to shut this one down.

edit...
After striking out the 1st 2 batters, he surrendered solo HR...then got a pop up in LF foul territory to end it.

Mets win 4-1 and take 2 of 3....and heading home for a weekend series with the Mariners.

They are now 9-0-1 in their 10 series this season.

Amazin'

Interesting from yesterday:

Interesting from yesterday:

I was actually thinking something along those lines too.
If that's true...then Megill, along with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, Mgr Buck Showalter and perhaps a few other pitchers need to look at and study the game film frame for frame to see what actually occurred so they can correct it so it doesn't happen again. Other teams scouts get paid to look for stuff like that....and anything to give their side the advantage.
Maybe Megill needs to alter his delivery time +/or motion.
Hopefully they'll figure it out and make the adjustments if needed.

Magic Maz became a bit of a spark plug and fan fave last year. Hope it continues.

Sucks that McCannon will be on the shelf for those 6 weeks though...if not more.
I can only wonder how long the front office will take until they consider calling up Francisco Alvarez.

From last year.....

After impressive season, when could Mets top prospect Francisco Alvarez be in the bigs?

It is clear the Mets need help in the near future, so could top prospect Francisco Alvarez help soon?

Francisco Alvarez won’t turn 20 until next offseason, by which time he hopes to have already played his first major league game for the Mets.
