Our starting pitcher deserves his first Met win, then a relaxing night's sleep.

Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

The loyal opposition:

DH Rutschman
1B Mountcastle
RF Santander
SS Henderson
2B Westburg
3B Urias
C McCann
LF McKenna
CF Mateo

SP Bradish

James McCann is no longer a secret weapon. Advantage Mets.

That is a pathetic looking line up. DJ Stewart is hitting clean up? With Narvaez in the 5 spot. Quintana best pitch a gem to have a chance of getting his first win.
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious

James McCann = Highest-paid player on the Orioles roster.

Well, a different approach by Alonso would certainly be better than the alternative, which would be the Mets refusing to put runners on in front of him.

Pete doesn't get on much either. Team slump

McNulty either likes hitting in Baltimore or suddenly likes hitting leadoff.

Dang, Alonso worked the walk!

Pete does walk. Bases loaded

Pitching change and maybe a pinch hitter for Stewart

Mets opted not to pinch-hit a righty for Stewart, which I guess means Marte is on ice.

The other option — pinch-hitting Álvarez and putting Nimmo in the outfield — was also apparently unpalatable.

Buck seemed determined not to use Nimmo or Marte today

Only O runs coming on futzy defense and groundout RBIs.

Hey, we got the tying run to the plate!

No double-play opportunity (at the current time) either!

That was like trying to win a crew race without any oars.

Six days in a row.

A few random Thoughts on the Game!!!!

Balls hit to 3B right now are essentially a coin flip as to whether or not they'll be turned into an out.

At least this sweep, unlike the previous one, had the advantage of hurting the Yanx which is ... something.

He's getting an amount of run support that would make him jealous of Jake DeGrom.

Maybe, but at this point, it's not typical run support particular to a pitcher. It's just what the Mets offense is right now.

Hey, Happy 1000th post!!
