Prime time, meaning, the dreadful ESPN broadcast and (I'm guessing) an endless Nats love-fest, despite them being a clearly inferior team.

The Mets have a tendency to save their most dreadful performances for the national audience in prime time on ESPN.

I'm very superstitious, and s***p is like a four letter word that should not be used before the game. I cringe when I hear sportscasters use the word. And the fact that it will be a Sunday night game on ESPN is making me antsier.
I prefer they say something like "The Mets have won the first two games of the series" and let it go at that.
On second thought, a true fan knows they won the first two games of the series.

I like aggressive baserunning. Can’t really complain, I guess.
Maybe Travis can hit a homer here against the lefty.

Pitcher's slot, Severino, and Difo due up.

That's as good as we could have hoped for with a one run lead, except that Severino -- essentially their 3rd string, defensive-minded catcher -- has been a PITA with the bat this series.
He's only even on the roster because Weiters is DL'd and Miguel Montero is on paternity leave.

All of which made for a not particularly comfortable night of Mets watching. The sweep was terrific, but it masked some pretty ugly play by the Mets last night.

In addition to the errors, there were several plays not made. Rosario bobbled a ball that should have been a DP. Frazier was lucky to get that tag play after that brain fart. Should have been looking to turn two there, so not sure what happened. Baserunning mistake by Cabrera, which I thought was excusable. He's trying to be aggressive and get to 3B on that strikeout. But I don't know why Gonzalez didn't run to first base on that. If that throw goes to third, he should have been standing on first.

Particularly disappointing was Harvey. I didn't watch his 5 scoreless against Philly, so this was the first I saw of him. And in fairness, I only watched from the 3rd? maybe 4th inning on, and those were his shakiest. Very hittable. Fastball didn't have a lot of life, tons of baserunners. Got lucky with the wind on the Rendon fly ball, and also with the baserunning blunder by Turner. I actually thought Harv should have been pulled a batter earlier, but Calloway left him in to finish the 5th. I wonder if the win stat had anything to do with that decision. I hope it didn't, but I can't help but wonder.

I didn't like the pitcharounds to Harper to lead off innings. It's one thing to pitch around with men on base, or with 2 outs, but to lead off an inning. It cost us a run the first time, and nearly cost us the game the second time. And I still don't like the decision to bunt there. First off, Rosario doesn't look like a good bunter (he may well be, but he didn't look like it). Secondly, even if successful, it takes the bat out of Conforto's hands. Ces had been 0 for 5. It worked out though. So what the hell do I know.

And thankfully for us, as bad as we played, Washington played a hell of a lot worse!

Well, they missed Scherzer and Murphy was hurt, so we probably shouldn't get ahead of ourselves just yet. I didn't like the look of Harvey; he's still inconsistent. And jeez, just intentionally walk Harper in all situations, please.

they missed Thor so even-steven there.

it's not out fault they were too cheap to sign backups for Murphy/depth. That sorta thing might very well be why the Mets end up with the division title.

Re: IGT Sun Apr 8 Mets @ Nats 8 PM

That lineup looks deadly even without Murphy. Harper is Harper. Rendon is a terrific hitter and may actually be underrated. Eaton is your deal leadoff guy.

All we can hope for is regression from Zimmerman, for Turner to not pan out, and for a few guys to get injured.

Or for Harper to be traded to the American League before July 31. If the season progresses in a way that makes that happen, it will be a very good sign for the Mets.
