I had been trying to use my neighbor's password to stream ESPN while the Mets fell behind 2-0.



Josh Bell? No huh-way. The takeaway is that the ball is carrying to right.

No matter who you start on the bump and how he does, scoring only one run on a solo homer is a tough way to get it done.



Swinging at the first one down six in the ninth is no way to do anything.

Re: IGT, Pads @ Mets WCS, 10/7

Well, that was about as bad as it could get. I didn't much from the offense, as Darvish has pretty much owned the Mets this season. I was hoping they could scrape together 3 runs and that classic Max would make that stand up. Alas, Darvish once again owned the Mets (other than Escobar) while Max was clearly not himself. The power deficient Padres put on a home run clinic.



Jake needs to have his "A game" tomorrow or it will likely be a very disappointing end to the season.

The Mets offense really needs to kick in and starting getting the hits with RISP. Too often they have been squandering their opportunities early in the games and letting the opposing pitcher settle in with minimal to know damage. I expected last nights game to be a low scoring affair (I was half right) with Scherzer and Darvish on the mound. Darvish continued his mastery of the Mets last night, while Max just did not have it.



The Mets anemic offense last night actually raised Darvish's ERA against them for the season. This was his third start against the Mets season and his overall line against them has been "deGrom-like". In three starts against the Mets he has gone 3-0 with 21 IP, 12 Hits, 2 runs allowed, 19 Ks & 1 walk. Thankfully, the Mets won't have to face him again.



They really need to get to Snell early tonight. Even deGrom has a hard time winning if the Mets don't score but 1 run.
