IGT 5/5/2024: NYM@TBR — Severino de Mayo

[Edgy MD]

Righthanders Luis Severino — coming off one of the best outings of his career — and Ryan Pepiot lock horns in finale of the Mets' three-game set in the Rays' goofy park.

[Edgy MD]

Despite the Mets sending the righthanded Severino to the hill, Kevin Cash (now the winningest manager in Rays history) has stacked his lineup with righthanded hitters.

After winning five series in a row things have turned in the other direction

I'd be perfectly happy with a win here and some production out of the slumping Alonso and Narvaez

[ashie62]

LINDOR BOOM

[Edgy MD]

I like the look of this guy. He throws it hard and straight.

[ashie62]

Pepiot has had success but not this inning

[Edgy MD]

Also, a very squeezy ump job so far.

[Edgy MD]

Severino gives up a walk and a hit and doesn't back down.

[Edgy MD]

And then things got all sloppy in the second.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What a shot off Pepiots 🦵

[Cowtipper]

The Mets are losing.

[Cowtipper]

How much did MLB get paid to overhype the City Connect uniforms? I'm watching recap videos of past games and the fawning over them is gag worthy. It's like dude, they're just uniforms.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hey, Pete! BooooOooOooOoooooOooo

[ashie62]

Geezuz Pete

You are playing for a contract

[Cowtipper]

This is bleak.

[Edgy MD]

It's 3-3. That ain't bleak.

The slider inside continues to destroy McNeil.

They're merchandise, though, and good money is being made off of them.

Bases loaded no outs to bases loaded two outs with nothing to show for it wasn't bleak? Sure they scored, but underwhelmed in usual Mets fashion.

Still ugly tho.

[Radar]

We must be the worst team leaving men in scoring position. With even adequate offense we're at least five over .500.

I like them actually.

[Edgy MD]

Fight for your right to Marte!

Not bleak!

Yes, if you are born with the bases loaded and then your team makes two scoreless outs, and then you die, and so you experience nothing before or after, then that it is certainly a disappointing outcome.

As far as "Mets fashion," I tend to like the Mets, and I don't believe there is anything usual or distinctive to the Mets about failure.

[Cowtipper]

Mets are losing again.

[Edgy MD]

The reason Siri makes concentration mistakes like that is that he's distracted by everybody continually asking him the weather.
