On the road in Houston



Max Scherzer vs Hunter Brown



For starters the Mets can start reducing their unforced error count

Álvarez bÁtting lÁst ÁgÁin as the Mets go with three consecutive lefty batters in front of him.



Houston, in contrast, has only one lefty in the lineup against Scherzer.

Even the camera guys are in a slump.

On both Lindor's HR and that FO by Tucker the camera shot is aimed at the second deck in RF

Yeah, those are not the live shots they should be using.



Scherzer, on the other hand, looks like the guy they are paying for.

Re: IGT 6/19 Mets @ Astros Bring your A game Mets 8:10

It's pretty crazy how hard it has been for Buck to sit Pham down. Two weeks ago, they'd have put McNeil in left.



He's already stealing playing time from Canha, and now he's keeping Guillorme and Escobar out of the lineup.

I'm just taking it one batter at a time. Win the game first and the bullpen will be fine.



And the shutout dies on that note.

Randy Johnson's FA contract with the DBacks rivals Scherzer's w/Nats for best value.

"Hartwig's a great story. He went undrafted and he was going to go to med school. Then the Mets called and two years later, he's on a big league roster."



My God! Med school! Oh, cursed fate!

Álvarez is staying in the game, but I'm suspecting he won't be out there next inning. Or tomorrow.

Get your bets in. Does Scherzer come out for the ninth?



If so, does he finish it?

that fine, there are 6 runs on our side for once - he can go 9 and give up 2 and we'll be fine. just give the bullpen a break and build momentum here - a win and rested relievers is a great formula

So unless this gets really bad in the 9th, Buck didn't use Robertson for a 2d inning yesterday so the BP wouldn't be further shorthanded tonight... and Robertson wasn't needed tonight.

Re: IGT 6/19 Mets @ Astros Bring your A game Mets 8:10

I think he's a good bet to sit tonight. With a day game Wednesday he was likely to sit that one anyway so you could just reverse them to give him a day.

Or, if it's a bit worse today, he maybe sits both and gets a full three day break with the Thursday off day but no IL trip.
