IGT 7/5 Connect Four Mets vs Diamondbacks 9:40

A win would connect a four game winning streak for the Metsies



Mets need Senga to get to 100 pitches more like in the 6th inning rather than the 4th



Snakes pitcher Tommy Henry is not an heir to the O Henry candy bar fortune



He has however been effective of late allowing only four earned runs over his last three starts



Making the call that DJ Stewart gets the nod at DH tonight

Ah the 9:40 PM EDT start, fuck you, spherical planet and time zones. Hopefully they jump out to an early lead and then I can go to bed.

Mets are dragging their feet a bit on posting the lineup.



I wouldn't expect D.J. Stewart to start under any circumstances, as the 'Backs have lefty Tommy Henry on the hill.

Could be worse, as soon as the game ends, I'll be getting ready to board a red eye flight back to New York! At least there is a local brewery's tap room near the gate ;)

That's not a crazy thought. I was suspecting they were waiting for somebody to be cleared by the trainer.

Re: IGT 7/5 Connect Four Mets vs Diamondbacks 9:40

I have a feeling that the Diamondback line up may not be a good match up for Senga. Senga seems at his best with free swingers that will chase bordrline pitches and his forkball. This helps to keep his pitch count down. A line up of patient , disciplined hitters (like the Diamondbacks) are very likely to run his pitch count up pretty quickly. I hope I am wrong.

I'm curious as to why Buck let Baty bat against a LHP in the 7th when he PH for him against a LHP with Mendick last week in the 6th.

Edgy MD
Jul 05 2023 09:51 PM
Re: IGT 7/5 Connect Four Mets vs Diamondbacks 9:40

Well, part of that is that he no longer has Mendick, and has no other righthanded bats available off the bench.



If the Mets don't get a run here, we have a complete game from Senga ready to go into the books.

Re: IGT 7/5 Connect Four Mets vs Diamondbacks 9:40

Smart move by Canha and/or the 3rd base coach there - as long as the 3rd baseman can't beat him back to the bag he might as well be a distraction over there. the balk would have been awesome.



How about sending Nimmo here and seeing if they risk a throw with a runner at 3rd?

Also worth noting: This wasn't just a game the Mets came out on top of. They played pretty sharp, tight baseball wire to wire, against a first-place team.

From SNY:

Alvarez now has five game-tying or go-ahead home runs in the sixth inning or later this season, which is most in the majors.

Now they're saying four.

May 17: Álvarez hits a two-out, game-tying home run in the ninth inning in the Mets 8-7 (10 innings) win over the Tampa Bay Rays



May 27: Álvarez hits a three-run homer in the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies to tie the game at 6-6. New York eventually lost to the Rockies 7-10.



July 4: Álvarez hits a go-ahead home run against the Diamondbacks in the top of the seventh inning. The long ball gave the Mets a 6-4 lead, and they went on to win 8-5 over Arizona.



July 5: Álvarez hits a two-out, game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the ninth against Arizona. The Mets went on to score one more run in the top of the ninth and defeated the Diamondbacks 2-1.

Two in a row, four in a row, 10 in a row, or 100 in a row — they all start with one in a row.



That was a cool one.
