Well, that was depressing.
At least I learned a new word, lachrymose, which ended up being fitting for this game.

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad
There are too many players (Lindor, McNeil, & Nimmo) significantly underperforming their expected norms at the plate. Then with Alvarez hurt, the Mets are forced to play Nido/Narvaez, who offer no real offensive threat. Alonso is a streaky power hitter that is not likely to hit much better than ...

Re: IGT 5/15 Mets at Phillies Lucchese Steaks 6:40
Unwatchable baseball. I must say, the Mets play this year has made me glad that I opted not to renew my subscription to MLB this season. I just watch the free condensed games after the fact. There are generally far more highlights for the opposing team than there are for the Mets, but it only costs...

Heart of the line up due up in the bottom of the 9th. Time for a second consecutive walk off.

I hope the Phillies line up is correct. I'm sure Manaea would love to face Harper batting right-handed and Castellanos batting left-handed.

I think it was the uniforms. The Mets need to wear the classic pinstripes more often.
Great win!

What the heck is intercostal irritation? I tore an intercostal muscle (muscles between the ribs) once. When I initially noticed it, I thought I had cracked or broken a rib. Made it painful to cough or sneeze. Also very sensitive to touch, so I had to sleep in a recliner for a few weeks, because I c...

Well, at least the Mets capitalized on the Rays mistakes.Frayed Knot wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 8:49 pmFollowed by a muff in RF and then a poor tag at the plate.
We needed all three of those to score our lone run.

Re: Get off the Interstate NOW!!!
Pete has become a black hole in the line up. He has 1 hit (a double) in his last 23 at bats. He just looks lost at the plate. A long way to go in the season, but he is not off to a good start in his free agent walk year.

Re: What's the Big Deal?
The Mets could use a few hitters (like Arraez) that can actually consistently get hits and reach base. Far too many Mets regulars (Nimmo, Lindor, Alonzo, Stewart, Narvaez, & Nido) are hitting under .220 Compared to them, McNeil is raking with his .239 average. Only Martinez, Baty, Bader, Taylor,...

Re: IGT 5/4/2024: NYM@TBR — The Christian Gentleman
At least Christian Scott was as good (probably better) as we could have hoped for. He showed that being aggressive and throwing strikes can be very effective while also keeping your pitch count down so you can stay in the game longer. Hopefully, we get to see more of him this season.

Scott expanded the zone in that inning and the Marlins hitters were flailing away, helplessly at pitches out of the zone.

For some reason which I can't presently ascertain, the start of the Dodgers at DBacks game is being delayed ... in late April, in Phoenix, and in doors.

Re: IGT 5/2/24 Mets vs Cubs 1:10 Houser vs Brown
Very good win for the team. The Bullpen continues to carry a heavy workload. Lindor rewarding the Mets faithful after his horrendous start. Tough series for runners trying to score on throws from the outfield. At least today, the good guys won.

Well, that sucked. When the Mets couldn't summon any offense in support of Severino's splendid effort, the eventual outcome almost seemed inevitable.

What a wasted effort. You fail to score runs and eventually the opposition is likely to make you pay. Case in point. Morel with his all or nothing (homer or K) approach to hitting comes through with a home run.

Okay, Severino has been carrying the Mets all night. Time for the offense to wake up give the man some run support. He has given up one sorry hit, but the Mets have only registered 3 of their own.

Re: IGT 2024-04-28: STL@NYM — Here Comes Trouble!
Great start from Quintana. Nice to see a starter go more than 5 innings. Great moment for Vientos. Much needed win for the team. Hopefully it will give the team some cahnfidence as they prepare to host the Cubs.
