NY Mets September 2019

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Seth Lugo with a quality 10 pitch 1-2-3 inning...w/ 2 K's.

There's no reason he can't come back out to pitch in the 9th.

Right, Mickey???


LOL...Mets have now GIDP's 4 times tonight..and Cano has 2 of them.


Onto the 9th.

Mets leading 3-1.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lugo is indeed back on the mound for the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PUT
IT
IN
THE
BOOKS


Mets win it 3-1.

Lugo w/ strong b2b innings to save it for Jake & the Mets.
A nice no drama 1-2-3 9th,w/ 2 more K's...on just 11 pitches.

Fuck Yeah!

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets up 3-1...heading to the 5th.
Toddfather Frazier had a 2 run double in the 2nd...and he just hit an rbi double in the home 4th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets still leading 3-1 after 6.
Wheeler is at 91 pitches.
So far so good.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Solid outing for Wheels.
He got thru 7...on 104 pitches.

1 R....7 H.....7 K.....2 BB.



Stretch time at Citi.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Brad Brach comes in to pitch the 8th...not Lugo.

This had better not backfire.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Brach gives up a 1 out solo HR on an 0-2 pitch.

3-2 game in the 8th.


edit:
He gets the 2nd out...and now Justin Wilson is in to hopefully get that 3rd out.

And he can't find the strike zone....issues a 2 out walk on 5 pitches.

smh

Now a stolen base after a ball in the dirt....

Tying run at 2nd.

Ugghhh

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez..after Adam Jones fouled off 8 pitches of a 10 pitch AB, Wilson gets him to ground out to short for the 3rd out.

3-2 Mets mid 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets are taking their 1 run lead to the 9th.

Wilson comes back out.

And he gives up a leadoff single.

Why is Callaway letting a lefty pitch to all their righty hitters??
It's almost as if he's managing to lose this game.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wilson gets a ground ball out, but the tying run is now at 2nd.

Yikes.


edit...the Zona PHer singles...

They now have 1st & 3rd w/ only 1 out.

And Wilson is still in there....about to cough this game up.


edit:
Ground ball out to 1st.
Runners at 2nd & 3rd.....2 outs.

Wilmer Flores at the plate.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Whewwww.

Wilson K's Flores to end it.

Mets hang on FTW 3-2.

Wow.

I need another beer.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Thor does some "damage control" to set the record straight.

Before the game, Mets starter Noah Syndergaard said it was "unfortunate" his complaints to New York's front office and coaching staff about catcher Wilson Ramos were made public and denied any role in leaking the conversations. He said he would be fine with pitching to Ramos going forward. The New York Post reported on Syndergaard's frustrations Monday.

Syndergaard: 'Just trying to look for an answer'
