Don't Surrender Yet IGT 9/14

The Tuesday Night's Mets Club reassembles tonight in 310 as Stroman toes the rubber. Realistically they probably need 13 of the last 16.

Perhaps a day of inspirational kick-ass rock 'n roll IGT music will do the trick.... [YOUTUBE]Unjgyphu2-k[/YOUTUBE] You never take the easy way The wind is blowing straight into your face You never ever close your eyes For any trouble that may cross your way There's no risk that you're not taking Not a mountain that's too high Spread your wings, you're gonna make it To the best time of your life Don't stop at the top Touch the sky before you drop You never make a compromise Your will has got the power that won't break You never say never to a challenge That will come along the way There's no risk that you're not taking Not a mountain that's too high Spread your wings, you're gonna make it To the best time of your life Don't stop at the top Touch the sky before you drop Never stop! Don't stop at the top

As per the other thread, the good, the bad, the lucky, and the stupid of Javy Baez all rolled up in a span of a couple pitches. A two out bunt: unpredictable but not real well executed; got lucky to get the run in Getting forced out at 2nd: stupid and/or lazy; ended an inning prematurely

Conforto up with the bases loaded, and Scott Boras isn't the only one rooting for him to get a hit. Later

Another day, another game over the 2 hour mark before the 5th inning is done.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2021 07:31 PM Re: Don't Surrender Yet IGT 9/14

Not his fault that time, but that's three times on base tonight and three times erased for Mr. Javy.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2021 07:37 PM Re: Don't Surrender Yet IGT 9/14

Mets have now had 153 PAs this year with the bases loaded. They have 89 RBIs in those situations but 35% of those (31) have come via non-hits: 15 BB, 10 SF, 6 HBP leaving 59 RBI that have come via hits (.213 BA)

Mets have been no hit since the 1st inning and half of their four hits (all singles of course) didn't leave the infield

I hate seeing a well-hit ball to the left side and then realizing that the Cardinals have Arrenado now.

Frayed Knot Sep 14 2021 08:27 PM Re: Don't Surrender Yet IGT 9/14

I don't think the Mets have even had an out out of the infield since JDD's PH Fly Out to open the 6th. And now we have the third NYM error of the game.

It's nice that his ball went out because two feet shorter and it's his third base running mistake of the game and if that thing is in play and he's on 1st because he's looking to the dugout posing I'd have pulled him from the game immediately and would be tempted to release him by morning.

There's almost no advantage to getting a hot jump there for Pillar.

After the Baez HR, the Mets had nine separate PAs with the potential to win the game. ONE got the ball out of the infield, a Pillar bases empty FO The others were a K, a BB, Foul Out, and five weak grounders.

But four key players, Lindor, McNeil, Conforto and Smith have grossly, grossly underperformed. Three of those guys are all-stars and the fourth, Smith would've very likely been invited to last year's all-star game if there was one. What team could overcome that? Did you hear that the Mets last nine losses were all by o e run, a major league record? Never been done before.

G-Fafif Sep 14 2021 11:37 PM Re: Don't Surrender Yet IGT 9/14

That was an incorrect note Gary was handed. The Mets lost by seven just the night before. But definitely a LOT of recent 1-run losses.

Yeah we had a good view from behind 1st and we weren't even sure it went out, was shocked to look back to the field and Baez had barely crossed 1st Just about every hard hit ball turned into 1 or 2 outs, but there were way too few of them. So much weak contact, but some of that resulted in opportunity. The hitting approach has just never resolved itself. What a punt this year has been

I can't understand that. Just moments earlier, the booth was underscoring how Pillar couldn't be off with contact, and shouldn't be off with contact, that he had to give the team two chances to drive him home, and then he takes off on contact, gets caught in no man's land, and they say that there was nothing he could do.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 15 2021 11:15 AM Re: Don't Surrender Yet IGT 9/14

He probably woulda been out anyway but continuing home and maybe drawing a more panicked throw might have been the better gamble. I'm going to show this to Lunchpail (muted) BTW to illustrate all that is happening when a team executes a tricky play. The Cards did everything right there
