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.

HP ump has had a very erratic night, right from the very beginning.

So, he kind of out-managed himself.

Anyways, I'm not sure 2022 Diaz is somebody we can expect to show up any time soon.

On the other hand, it's Hector Neris coming in. And if you don't chase against him, he can load the bases in a hurry.

If Pete was giving McNeil location signals, I hope he signaled "Off the plate."

DJ Stewart sets up the game-winning homer, but he also sets up the GIDP.

Man, in the end, we chased.

I don't know that there's ever been an opposing closer who gives me hope like Hector Neris.

Can't expect to win after scoring on your first swing of the game and then not again.

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

And while you're voting, we need a thread starter for the second game of the series.

Hard to be against this.

Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.
