Matz is back! Maybe that's good news!!! Maybe the Marlins got their win against the Mets for the season out of the way yesterday!!! Maybe, just maybe, we'll find better things. [YOUTUBE]nhzY86sC7Q0[/YOUTUBE]

Sewald's visit brief, as he's sent down to make room for Matz.

Keep an eye on McNeil. If he looks as goofy and lost at the plate as yesterday, break something.

So in addition to the 12 Mets in a row retired since McNeil's first pitch double, I'm not sure the next dozen have gotten a ball out of the infield in that time, even the ones who didn't strike out.

Matz's curve looks great. But Chili's boys are doing less than zero.

Beer for Bashlor, anyhow.

Edgy MD May 18 2019 04:00 PM Re: IGT 5/18/19 - Matz vs Doormatz

OK, McNeil's still cool.

Edgy MD May 18 2019 04:03 PM Re: IGT 5/18/19 - Matz vs Doormatz

But crumbs. Easy 6-4-3 for Miami.

Frayed Knot May 18 2019 04:12 PM Re: IGT 5/18/19 - Matz vs Doormatz

I know how we can speed up baseball, just start all Met hitters with an 0-2 count because that's where it's going to be after two pitches anyway!

Every pitcher they've faced lately has looked like Pablo Lopez, a true baseball immortal. Later

Hey, they put it in play all three times that inning.

Please, enough of the Kinks. The Kinks are great. The Mets, not so much

On to the 9th; if they can't eek out 2 runs against this crap ass team...

Edgy MD May 18 2019 04:41 PM Re: IGT 5/18/19 - Matz vs Doormatz

One hit? C'mon. Cut something more than a fart here in the ninth.

I'm not sure if Mickey survives this series. I'm not sure he should.

Edgy MD May 18 2019 04:48 PM Re: IGT 5/18/19 - Matz vs Doormatz

Glurb.

Frayed Knot May 18 2019 05:07 PM Re: IGT 5/18/19 - Matz vs Doormatz

Just effing pathetic. You could understand Game #2 vs Gnats with the pitching matchup badly tilted against us. But the three games since have each been so pathetic in their own ways that it's tough to pick which was the worse, which the worser, and which wins the prize as the worsest.

Echoes of not being able to touch the fetid Orioles last June.

Or is it the fault of the hitting coach when he can't help the hitters find their way out of the slump? But more specifically, when a guy has been fired twice as a hitting coach, who was the bright light who thought that three times might be a charm and hired him? http://metsdaddy.com/2019/05/mets-biggest-problem-is-chili-davis-not-mickey-callaway/ Later

Well, most coaches and managers have been fired multiple times along the way. It's the nature of the job. High turnover. You know who's never been fired? Mickey Callaway. I don't understand the prevailing philosophy — with the Mets or more broadly. A bunch of strikeouts interrupted on occasion by homers (too many of which come solo) is not only not a reliable offense, but it makes for boring baseball. The shift must be defeated. The shift must be defeated and the ball must be put in play. And as long as somebody takes that seriously, I don't care if the batting coach is Doug Flynn.
