NY Mets -- September 2022

[Nasty_Magician]

Remember when September was supposed to be our easy part of the schedule?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

The Mets score a run! The Mets score a run!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets finally on the board...but they've left 11 runners on base so far.
This might as well be the Dodgers or the Astros they're playing.

5-1 Cubs after 4.

Remember when September was supposed to be our easy part of the schedule?

It's gonna happen any week now...

Will Dan Vogelbach ever hit another HR while wearing a Mets uniform?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets drop the opener 5-2.
Wow.....just wow.

Go Giants.
Nuff said.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Final score:
The Giants held on to beat the Braves 3- 2.
I'm stoked of course...but we missed another opportunity to increase our lead...but at least we didn't lose any ground.


This Jekyll & Hyde nonsense is for the birds...
Cubs 5 - Mets 2. (NY left 21 runners on base on Monday)

Mets Tuesday Jakeday Lineup vs Cubs

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Not the first time this year our offense has gone cold but the timing is terrible. We all knew another legit bat was needed and I really hope failing to get one doesn't bite us in the ass. Come on boys, time to rally.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

This isn't just embarrassing....it's down right pathetic.

Buck's overly calm complacency has become a bit troubling too.

Mets looked lost in 4-1 loss.
Braves beat SF 5-1. Lead down to 1/2 game.


The Mets have dropped four consecutive home games for the first time since last September, and the boo birds were out.

Trainer's Room...

Mets RHP Max Scherzer (left oblique irritation) is scheduled to make a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Syracuse. If all goes well, he's expected to come off the injured list early next week in Milwaukee. RHP Tylor Megill (right shoulder strain) and RHP Drew Smith (right lat strain) both pitched at Syracuse. After a lengthy delay at the start, Megill gave up five runs, three hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning. He threw only 15 of 29 pitches for strikes during his fourth rehab outing. Smith struck out two in a scoreless inning of work. Megill, normally a starter, is expected to fill a bullpen role when he returns, which could be soon.



Up Next...

LHP David Peterson (7-4, 3.47) will start for the Mets against LHP Drew Smyly (6-8, 3.57 ERA) who will try to pitch Chicago to a series sweep on Wednesday night.

What was up with Pete last night, slamming his bat after drawing a walk? Getting into it with the pitcher?

What was up with Pete last night, slamming his bat after drawing a walk? Getting into it with the pitcher?

From last night's espn recap article...

Pete Alonso barely missed a two-run homer in the first when it hooked just foul, and the slugger slammed down his bat after drawing a walk.

That ticked off Sampson, and the two exchanged heated words before umpires spoke directly to each of them.

"I was just like, `Just don't do that.' It doesn't look good. It's not part of our game," Sampson said. "It was a non-issue. I have a lot of respect for the guy. ... There's no hard feelings."

Said Alonso: "I wasn't upset that he didn't throw the ball in the zone, I was upset that the wind blew it foul. ... It's just two guys that are in the heat of the moment, just competing. He's obviously a highly competitive individual and so am I. There's no bad blood or anything like that."

A month ago, I was having thoughts that the Mets could give the Dodgers a serious challenge in the NLCS. Silly me. Now I'm wondering if they even make it out of the Wild Card round.
