Ugghhh....
And it's gonna be a ND for Jake.
Lugo gave up a 1 out solo HR.
7th inning stretch...3-3 tie.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Oh well...things went from bad to worse quickly.
Mets had 2 on w/ 1 out in the 7th....but couldn't score.
In the 8th Wilson replaced Lugo, he then loaded the bases, and with 2 outs, he gave up 3 runs. Betances replaced Wilson and got the 3rd out.

6-3 Boston, mid 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yo hit a leadoff HR in the 8th.
Mets trail 6-4 heading to the 9th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The guys kept it interesting in the 9th, but came up a buck short. Final...Redsox 6 - Mets 5.

Recap:

Red Sox hold off Mets, snap losing streak

deGrom's scoreless streak ends in Mets' loss

Red Sox vs. Mets - Game Recap - July 29, 2020 - ESPN


Up next:

Boston's Martin Perez (0-1) and New York's Steven Matz (0-0) start in a matchup of left-handers that finishes this week's back-to-back, two-game series between the teams. Perez lost his Red Sox debut, allowing five runs -- four earned -- in five innings against Baltimore. Matz gave up one run in six innings against Atlanta in his season debut, a 10-inning loss.



Moves:

Mets OF Jake Marisnick was placed on the 10-day injured list after hurting a hamstring. New York selected the contract of OF Ryan Cordell from their alternate training site in Brooklyn and opened a spot on the 40-man roster by designated right-hander Jordan Humphreys for assignment.

Matz got Vazquez'd.
Mets drop the getaway game....4-2.
They had decent chances but couldn't cash in when it mattered.

Red Sox vs. Mets | 07/30/20

Trainer's Room:
Mets RHP Marcus Stroman (torn calf muscle) is scheduled to face hitters Friday. ... INF Jed Lowrie got a second opinion on his troublesome left knee. He has looseness in a ligament, general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said.

Up Next:
Mets: RHP Rick Porcello (0-1) seeks his 150th career win and tries to rebound from an ugly Mets debut against the Braves when New York begins a four-game series in Atlanta. Porcello is 2-0 with a 0.79 ERA in two career starts at Atlanta. LHP Sean Newcomb goes for the Braves.

That’s pretty sad but if I also didn’t find it funny it would somehow be even worse than it truly is.
The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Travis d'Arnaud, folks.....remember him???

Ugghh...this team.

It's either feast or famine from game to game...and then there's even both in the same game...like this one.

Not sure what the hell Betances was doing out there.

Unreal.


Not that any of this matters anyhow...as this shortened season is now in serious danger of getting shutdown again..which would pretty much put the kibosh on all of it until next spring.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

You can't lose that game. Same old bullpen.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

That AB by Wilson Ramos in the 9th with 2 on & 2 outs was where I would've gone with McNeil to PH instead of using him to lead him off in the inning.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Luuuuuuuuis.
You got some splainin' to do.

Rookie Mgr mistakes for $1000, Alex.

We can only wonder how Carlos Beltran would be managing this team.
I'd like to believe somewhat better.

Oh well...it is what it is.

Not good, hopefully he is ok

Not good, hopefully he is ok

Céspedes does not report to ballpark

Hope he is as well, and maybe he intends to opt out from playing this year....and with that said, all I'll say is this covid ridden year, the way it's all been handled throughout by the government, the various industries, the business & sports world, and the general population, has overall been one huge and badly managed disaster that's spiraled into a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
