A marquee matchup of hittable lefties.



I never heard of Bruce Zimmermann before 5 minutes ago but hard not to think his folks named him after Springsteen and Dylan.



Went to Towson State right nearby. Was one of two shitty pitchers received from Atlanta for Darren O'Day and Kevin Gausman. In a deGrom-less world Gausman would be a leading Cy Young candidate

It really is a sink-or-swim start for Peterson, isn't it? And Baltimore is a hot lineup to be facing.



Their pitching ... not so much.

At least it's very likely that Peterson will pitch better than he did last time. But yeah, he really has to step up. I'm sure the Mets are actively considering alternatives to him, whatever those alternatives might be.

There is this lefty in Toronto. Good stuff but hasn't put it all together yet. Might benefit from a change of scenery.

Re: NYM@BALT - 6/8/21 is d-Day +3 - IGT

Almora and Guillorme are in the lineup tonight... the Syracuse Mets lineup. I'm guessing that Mason Williams and Travis Blankenhorn are the 1st two to be sent down. Jeff McNeil is getting close to starting a rehab assignment. Who goes after that (assuming that everyone else stays healthy)? They have 14 pitchers so one of them? Brandon Drury is a nice bat off the bench and can play 3B and OF so I'd like to see him stick. Jose Peraza has shown some value, too.

Re: NYM@BALT - 6/8/21 is d-Day +3 - IGT

Peraza has to stay over Drury. He can play 2nd, short, or 3rd, can run and has a bit of pop. They may be reluctant to send a pitcher down as they're facing a gazillion games over the next 30 days.

Re: NYM@BALT - 6/8/21 is d-Day +3 - IGT

I understand wanting to give Pete an easier night, especially on a hot night, but perhaps Pete at 1B and McCann at DH might have been a better decision.

Re: NYM@BALT - 6/8/21 is d-Day +3 - IGT

I didn't see that call at 1st to be as cut and dried as G & R did.

Now it still took them ridiculously long to decide on it, but I think the time to decide on the call was worse than the call itself.





And we got to see what an inning looks like when we're Not playing defense the way they've been doing so lately.

Two plays not made: McCann (should have been an E) and Lindor not making the turn smoothly.

Totally agree. I have no fucking idea what the booth is going on and on and on about with all that outrage about what a supposedly bad call that was.

I dont see the indisputable evidence, or any evidence at all that the runner was clearly out.

How many angles? Every angle I saw, the view of the runner's foot was blocked by the first baseman.So you couldn't conclusively say that McCann caught the ball before the runner reached first base because the view of the runner's foot was blocked.
