Mets Saturday Lineup vs Mariners (Kirby)

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Ugh, wasted opportunity there with Marte at 3rd with one out. Lindor with a good at bat but can't put the ball in play followed by Pete with a lady throw away at bat. Need to get a run there.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Bassit was solid, Shreve had his first big hiccup and we survived it. A win is a win, on to the next one.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets won it 5-4.
Bassitt went 5.2 and only allowed 1 run.
They had a 4-1 lead in the 6th but Lugo & Shreve had unusual bumpy outings.
Patty "magic" Maz came through by crushing a solo blast in the 7th to get the lead back after Seattle tied it up.

Adam Ottavino pitched a scoreless inning in the 8th and got the win.
Edwin "sugar" Diaz went 1-2-3 striking out all 3 Mariners he faced in the 9th for the save against his former team.

Megill to IL (biceps inflammation)

LATEST NEWS

May 15: RHP Tylor Megill placed on 15-day injured list
Coming off his worst start of the season, in which he allowed eight runs over 1 1/3 innings in Washington, Megill landed on the IL due to right biceps inflammation. The right-hander planned to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of his injury.
With Megill absent, David Peterson is the obvious candidate to step into the rotation. In the short-term, the Mets selected reliever Colin Holderman from Triple-A Syracuse and transferred Trevor May to the 60-day IL to clear roster space. It’s a significant loss for the Mets, considering Megill was enjoying a breakout season with a 4-1 record and 2.43 ERA in six starts prior to his loss to the Nationals.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets scored in the 1st on a Lindor solo HR.
Mariners tied it up in the 3rd.
Cookie is crumbling here in the 4th...single, single, walk....
Bases loaded no outs.

Edit:
2 run single...then a sac fly run... pop up....ground out.

4-1 Seattle....mid 4th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow.....Mets put up a 4 spot.
Two 2 Run Triples by JD Davis & Nimmo in the 4th.

Mets retake the lead 5-4.
Shreve relieved Cookie in the 5th after there was 1 out.

Onto the 6th.
5-4 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ooops...Shreve just allowed a leadoff HR.

5-5 now.

Drew Smith has been summoned.
1 out & 1 on.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yikes...Smith gives up a 2 run HR.
WTF!
The Mets bullpen is experiencing some rough patches lately.
Are they tipping their pitches??

7-5 Mariners...middle of the 6th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

J-Rod relieved Smith to begin the 7th then gave up a 1 out double and rbi single

Mets now trail 8-5 at the stretch.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets bats have gone silent.
Still trailing 8-5 heading to the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...Mets made it interesting in the 9th, putting up 2 runs.
Mariners IBB'd Lindor with 2 outs and 1st base open to load the bases for Pete.
He swung and missed a 3-2 pitch low and away to end it.
It would've walked in the tying run if he didn't swing.
Mets drop the finale 8-7.

It was gonna happen eventually that they'd lose a series. They're now 9-1-1 in their 11 series played.
Time to start another series win streak tomorrow.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Sigh, had to lose a series eventually but that's one we should have locked up.
