NY Mets -- September 2022

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Potential for a big inning right out of his gate only yields 1 run.
But hey we’ll take it.
LOL

Hope CBass can keep the 1-0 lead for an inning or 2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Another good opportunity wasted.
2 runners stranded in scoring position.

1-0 Mets mid 2nd.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Okay....I see you, Tyler Naquin...and I see you too, Eduardo Escobar.
B2B Jacks.
Mets lead it 5-0 in the 4th.

They aren't collapsing (yet), the problem is the Braves never lose.

Well it amounts to the same thing, if they let another team catch them...absolutely no margin for error

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bassitt tossed another shutdown inning?
What's going on here?

Worst case scenario is they have the wild card series at Citifield. Not ideal but with their starting pitching I don't see one of the wild card teams beating them. In a short series the Mets can beat anyone IMO provided Sherzer and Degrom are healthy.

Bassitt has had a pretty solid year. Very solid middle of the rotation guy.

Yeah, but he brings up bad memories of Steve Trachsel with how much time he takes

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon, Bassitt...stop screwing around with these MFers.
Just get through this 6th inning here with minimal damage and call it a day.
No need to suddenly make things unnecessarily interesting.

The ole human rain delay

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Looks like C-Bass is low on gas...and leaking oil.

Sheeesh...those mighty mighty buccos really made him work in that frame.

5-1 Mets end of 6.

6 inning, 1 run 1 BB and 8 K's. Not too shabby

Yeah..it was a much needed solid outing for him and the team no doubt..but you also could tell he was tiring and over pitching in his last 2 innings.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lugo comes in for the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Good scoreless frame for Lugo.
I'm not watching the game on TV...is anyone warming in the Mets pen?
Or will Lugo be back for the 9th?

edit:
Back for the 9th it is.

Not watching it either so I can't tell ya

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

YES!
Back in 1st, baby!

Game 1 Final:
Mets 5 - Pie rats 1
3 game skid halted.
Mets retake sole possession of 1st place....albeit by just 1/2 a game...for now....lol.

Game 2 will start in about 3 hours.
