IGT 4/7/2025 (#10): MIA@NYM — Take the Fifth

[G-Fafif]

Mets attempt to grow their winning streak to five versus the eternally pesky pesci, 7:10 on SNY. Senga on the mound for the homestanding New Yorkers. A yet to be announced Marlin pitcher who’s not Alcantra (paternity leave) will oppose Kodai’s bat-wielding teammates.

[Fman99]

I'm happy to have a Monday game immediately following a weekend sweep. Keep it all rolling positively, says I

[Gwreck]

In a curious scheduling quirk, the Mets play on Monday for each of the first 9 weeks of the season. The first. Monday they’re off isn’t until June.

[G-Fafif]

Lindor SS
Soto RF
Alonso 1B
Nimmo LF
Vientos 3B
Winker DH
Taylor CF
Acuña 2B
Senger C

Senga RHP

[Benjamin Grimm]

I see we're getting that eagerly awaited Senga-Senger battery!

What's the prognosis on Torrens? It appears he's available if needed, as we saw a couple of days ago.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Low 40s tonight, will be an uncomfortable one

[kcmets]

I'm cold just reading this:

Corona, New York (NOAA)

Tonight—A 40 percent chance of light rain, mainly before midnight.
Patchy fog after 8pm. Otherwise, cloudy, with a steady temperature
around 42. Northeast wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable.

[MFS62]

Aren't those the kind of conditions in which Paul Wilson hurt his arm?
That scares me when we have a Faberge egg like Senga pitching.
Later

[G-Fafif]

Righty Valente Bellozo starts for the Fish tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Valente Bellozo

I think I ordered that at an Italian restaurant last week.



He made 13 starts as a rookie last year [3.67, 1.31] including one vs Mets; 2 R, 7 H, 2 BB over 5.1 in a 3-2 Miami win on Aug 18 (I have zero memory of this or him).
He allowed one run in 4.1 innings vs Pitt on Mar 29th in his only appearance so far this season.

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos, Baty, and Siri are a combined 7-for-75 ... jus' sayin'
That four of those seven hits are doubles is of little consolation.

[ashie62]

Senga struggling, nothing new

[roger_that]

Eventually the Mets are going to load the bases with two outs and Jack one out.

I said "eventually"!

[ashie62]

Soto my man!!

1-0 Mets

[ashie62]

Poor Gelbs, he is so overmatched but he tries like heck

[ashie62]

Pete flashing the leather

[roger_that]

Soto on base all ten games!

Has anyone mentioned what the record(s) is/are? Mets' record? NL record? MLB record? Record for most consecutive games, start of a season? Record for most consecutive games, player joining new team?

[Centerfield]

Every night. Anemic offense.

[The Hot Corner]

Damn. Lindor & Soto reach to open the inning. Pete GIDP and weak chopper to second on first pitch end the promising inning.

Senga finished after 5 innings.

5 shutout innings, but not what I'd call strong shutout innings.

Danny Young? Really? Well, I guess he's got to get that 7.71 ERA down sometime. Vientos bobbles a 5-3 to start the 6th.

Blue calling some borderline pitches Young's way.

Tomorrow's game has been moved up from 7:10 to 4:10. It must be chilly in NYC.

[Gwreck]

They just announced in the park that tomorrow’s start time has been moved up to 4:10 PM.

I always figure that the Mets' attitude should be "Yeah, we don't like the cold, but the Florida players must HATE it."

[Lefty Specialist]

This team really can't hit.

[Fman99]

That's a nice pick by El Butto

[Lefty Specialist]

But they CAN pitch.
