IGT - 5.17.24 - Hey we get to play a team worse than us!

[Centerfield]

Christian Scott vs. Jesus Luzardo.

Luzardo hasn't been great this year (0-3, 5.97 ERA) but has been ok in the past. His WHIP is 1.33, which is not terrible. Similar to Manaea. Better than Quintana. The high ERA comes from two bad starts against the Braves and Yankees. He's given up 2 ER three times and 3 ER once in his other four starts.

Odds that he will pitch a no-hitter tonight. About 50/50.

Whatever knocked Nimmo out last night is still knockin'.

Check out Mark Vientos, hitting in between Martinez and Marte.

Christian vs Jesus
Sacrilegious to root against either guy, eh?

[Edgy MD]

The 25-year-old Otto López is OPSing around .900, and clearly is the reason they went ahead and dealt Arraez.

Already with his third organization, however.

Haha good one! 😀

Weird caps on both teams for Armed Forces Weekend.

Down 4 in the 2nd , Christ

[Edgy MD]

You're all missing a game here.

And as of 20 seconds ago, it became a game that the Mets are trailing by four.

[Edgy MD]

Mets chasing again.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I've been watching but can't say it's very watchable

[Centerfield]

I wish we were better.

[Edgy MD]

Scott escaping a bases-loaded/no-out situation may or may not be something to build on.

[Centerfield]

I say we give him a bat and see what we got. Can’t be worse than what’s out there.

[kcmets]

I haven't been able to follow, glad to re-focus and see it's still only 4-sniffle.
Guess that bases loaded thing didn't work out for the Fishsticks.

Switching to Knicks Pacers. Enough misery for one night.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

How are we losing to these guys?

[Frayed Knot]

I'm sticking around to see if the Marlins get a triple-double [runs, hits, Ks]

[Frayed Knot]

How are we losing to these guys?

1) We can't win at home
2) We can't win on the road
3) We can't figure out where else to play

[Frayed Knot]

Two out in the 8th, no walks, 6th hit, all singles, two haven't left the infield

[Edgy MD]

Scott escaping a bases-loaded/no-out situation may or may not be something to build on.

So ... not!

[kcmets]

Just catching up, shoulda not...

Nice to learn that a .159 hitting catcher can drive in runs. Unfortunately, not for the Mets.

The Mets have scored one run or fewer in 25% of their contests to date.
