NY Mets ~~ September 2021

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets and their untimely proclivity for GIDP's is becoming lame and very frustrating.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete!
Boom!
Solo bomb!

3-2 Mets mid 6th.

Familia coming in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Familia went 1-2-3 in the 6th.
Hand did the same in the 7th.

Mets lead it 3-2 heading to the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Seth Lugo comes in to pitch in the bottom 8th.

edit:

He got 2 quick outs...then gave up a triple..... and a 4 pitch walk...

Margin for error getting very slim.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lugo got out of that jam with a ground ball out to end it.

On to the 9th.
3-2 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets went down in order.

3-2 mid 9th.

Edwin Diaz is now in.


And he gives up a 4 pitch walk.....with Soto on deck and Bell following.

Here we go again.

edit:
Soto flied out....Bell walked.
2 on....1 out.

Nothing is easy....ever.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PH rbi single.
Game tied....3-3
Still only 1 out.
Runners at the corners.

Because of those 2 walks...it's looking like a Nats walkoff is looming....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And after the Mets challenge failed....the Nats have indeed walked off.

Mets lose 4-3

It's feast or famine.
Today was the latter.

Another nice win turned into a terrible avoidable loss.

We've lost way too many winnable games against teams we should beat. As much as I want to go on a run and make the playoffs we need to address some glaring issues with this current group.

True. And another glaring problematic issue is playing McNeil in LF.
That's a disaster waiting to happen imho.
With Nimmo out now for at least another week that means Pillar will be in CF.
Almora should only be used as a pinch runner, or a late inning OF defensive replacement.
Rojas needs to stick with Smith in LF...or even JD Davis can play there too on occasion.
Also gotta get Nido back asap....and deGrom too, but I'm not holding my breath on that...besides, bringing back Jake if we end up out of the running would be senseless. Shut him down until 2022.

When Diaz is your closer, you are bound to lose a lot of winnable games.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Like I said during the game earlier...the margin for error...yada yada yada.

Mets' margin for error drops after blown save

WASHINGTON -- Heading into their current stretch of 14 consecutive games against the Nationals and Marlins, the Mets had already shaved away any margin for error they once possessed in the National League East race. That didn’t mean their realistic path to the postseason had vanished; it just...

Coincidence that his resurgence fell flat on its face once the substance crackdown began.

Can't wait until this guy makes it to the big club...and hopefully it's soon....ie: 2022.

Who is Francisco Álvarez?

The Mets’ search for quality catchers has been a famous pursuit in Queens for some time now. New York hopes they can address that hole at the big league level with Francisco Álvarez. Álvarez is MLB Pipeline's No. 3 overall prospect. He tore up Double-A and Triple-A pitching last season,

Mets Tuesday Lineup @ Miami

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets put up 2 in the 1st on Pete's 2 run blast.


But FFS......When is the good Cookie gonna show up??

Ridiculous.

2-1 Mets heading to the 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cookie gave up a run scoring double after Lindor's E-4.

2-2 game heading to the 3rd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets scored 2 in the 3rd....all via walks and 2 HBP.
Why DiSarcina held Pete from tagging at 3rd on McNeil's fly out to left is beyond me.
Hopefully Baez doesn't have broken knuckles from that HBP.

4-2 Mets mid 3rd.
If Cookie can't toss a shutdown inning here...then he's a waste.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez....what the fucking fuck?

Villar's E-5 puts runners at 2nd & 3rd with 1 out.
