[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hey Mets....FFS!

Please get your shit together.

Halfway thru this one, down 1-0...and still only have 1 hit.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets on the board on a McNeil rbi single to tie the game 1-1 in the bottom of the 5th.




* Disregard my post before this one.
I misread the boxscore.
It's the Nats who have only the one hit. (a solo HR in the 2nd)
Mets have 4 hits so far.

Edit: Nats just got their 2nd hit. (a single) in the top of the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Our "pitching guru" manager decided to let Wheeler stay in the game until he throws his shoulder +/or elbow out of whack.....so he gives up a 1 out single and 2 out 2 run HR in the 7th.

3-1 Nats at the stretch.

Wheeler at 118 pitches.

Callaway is a clown.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have a heartbeat and a pulse.

Wow!

JD Davis strokes a PH 3 Run Blast giving the Mets a 4-3 lead in the 7th.




I might have to quell my enthusiasm now however.
Familia is coming in and taking the mound in the 8th.
And right off the bat he gives up a leadoff single.....lol/smh

Could be a good time for some NBA playoff viewing.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Just as I feared... game is now tied 4-4 after a Nats run scoring double.

Still no outs.

Callaway is not only a clown.....but a total asshat as well.


They have 1st & 3rd with 1 out now.

Zamora replaces Familia.

I'm sure this will end swimmingly for Callaway's crew...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

5-4 Nats.
Zamora's allows an rbi double on his 1st pitch ...still only 1 out.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PITCHING GURU???

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Bashlor replaces Zamora.
Nats have 2nd & 3rd with 2 outs.


Still wondering why he chose to leave Wheeler in so long.
Mets pitchers for the most part don't seem to do shutdown innings very well.

Callaway's Clusterfuckery.


edit:
Bashlor escapes further harm.

5-4 Nats heading to the home 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PETE!!!

Alonso ties it up with a rocket launch in the 8th.

5-5



Edwin Diaz is coming in to pitch the 9th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

He gave up a 1 out single but K'd the next 2 batters.

Let's have a nice walk off here in the home half of the 9th.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

CarGo K's
1 down.

PHer Adeiny Hechavarria walks...

Davis walks...
Mets have 1st & 2nd with 1 out...

McNeil at the plate....
Nats go to the pen again...


LGM!


edit: he grounds into a force out at 2nd...on the 1st pitch...lol

Rosario now up w/ 2 outs...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hey Hey Hey.....Rosario with the walkoff ribeye.

Mets win it 6-5.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Wrap:

"Oh, man",teammate JD Davis said. “We were screaming at him, Run! Run! Run!"

Rosario made it to first in 4.03 seconds according to StatCast.

Rosario's running walk-off a sprint for the ages

Also:
Mets OF Michael Conforto (concussion) rode a bike on Monday, his first physical activity since being placed on the 7-day concussion IL. Callaway said he did not know whether Conforto would be activated when first eligible on Friday. ...
CF Brandon Nimmo (sore neck) was a late scratch from the starting lineup. ...
LHP Jason Vargas (left hamstring tightness) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and could pitch this weekend against Detroit.


Next:
A pair of CY winners will square off on Wednesday....

RHP Max Scherzer (2-5, 3.72 ERA), the 2016 and 2017 NL Cy Young Award winner starts for Washington, and RHP Jacob deGrom (3-5, 3.98), the 2018 NL Cy Young winner starts for New York in a rematch of opening-day starters. The Mets won the opener 2-0 as deGrom struck out 10 and allowed six hits in six innings. Scherzer gave up two runs and two hits in 7 2/3 innings, striking out 12.

Gutsy win, the young guys getting it done. Pete Alonso, my God what a stud.

Gutsy win, the young guys getting it done. Pete Alonso, my God what a stud.

Pete Alonso set the Mets rookie record for home runs before the All-Star break with 1 1/2 months to spare. His 16th homer broke the team rookie record for the first half set by Ron Swoboda in 1965.
