Nimmo with the hat trickkk a day after getting plunked on his fingers.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Alonso singles w/ 2 outs......
Then Cano strokes a 2 out rbi double to make it 4-0 in the 7th.

Stretch time.

 

[Zooky]

14k’s thru 7. Awesome

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

3 more K's for Jake in the 7th for a total of 14.

3 more K's for Jake in the 7th for a total of 14.

Absolutely nuts

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dom Smith clutches up with a 2 out PH rbi single to make it a 5-0 lead.

His approach at the plate has been improved greatly this year.
Credit to new hitting coach Chili Davis.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Another 2 out PH rbi single makes it 6-0.
This time by Ramos.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nimmo with the golden sombrero on the night.

He's forgiven though.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Solid inning of work by Luis Avilan out of the pen in the 8th.

edit: not so bueno for him in the 9th so far....

Allows a walk & single.... no outs.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Now an rbi double....2nd & 3rd, no outs.

6-1 game.

Better go get him, skip

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

GMan on the bump to hopefully close it out.

Always something.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon dammit!!

WTF!

No unnecessary late inning shenanigans or drama please.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

2 more runs in...6-4 now.
Tying run at the plate for the fish with 2 outs...



Diaz in for the save.

YIKES!

 

[Zooky]

Whew.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Thanks for flying out to end it, Curtis.

Mets win 6-4.

Never easy....ever.




But we got the sweep, and now head to NY tonight for the home opener mañana.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

So sign Kimbrel?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So sign Kimbrel?

Is he still unsigned/available?

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Is he still unsigned/available?

He is and at this point Diaz will be toast by June.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

He is and at this point Diaz will be toast by June.

Diaz is a stud...he's used to lots of work...and he got it while with the M's.
He'll be fine.

Familia should've been on the mound in the 9th anyway tonight instead of Avilan.
Not sure what Callaway is thinking sometimes.
We were lucky to dodge 2 late inning bullets in the last 2 games of this series.

That being said...watching Kimbrel gives me the jitters alot with his control issues.
But when he's on he's pretty much unhittable.
