Wow. That's not the way you want to see the bases cleared.

Since the one good offensive outburst of the entire road tripe (the final game in Denver) the Mets have been out-scored 29-2

I demand a recount.
How did this offense score two runs?

Maybe another team meeting is needed

The 1927 A's are crushing the Mets

Had enough, later

Put another way: the Mets have scored two total runs in the last 29 innings and have given up at least three runs in a single inning six different times during that span.

Looks like Vientos is finally the DH for the 2024 Mets.

Mets had a chance at a three run inning there ... but they don't do those.

Home-field Mets still engaged as heck defensively.

I think Kingston Korn is going to be a homer of sportscaster.

OK, we deleted that four-run third.

Now to wipe out that three-run first.

He had reached his boyling point.


So we finally got a couple runs, then have a couple runners on with three chances to get even closer ... and no one hits a fair ball for the rest of the inning.

The interesting thing is that McNeil and Álvarez went down in their respective classic manner.

Almost like the A's are reading scouting reports.

It was also a clean slide ten minutes ago.

And even if there was a 5% chance of getting that flipped, is it a smart move? When the downside to not challenging is runner on 1st and two out and the downside to challenging is not having a challenge for the rest of the game, I'd argue it was borderline stupid.
That it took so long to adjudicate is beyond borderline stupid.

If that nose isn't broke, it's because the brim of his hat broke some his momentum into the face plant. And the brim being driven into your forehead hurts like a mofo also. He was totally disoriented trying to get up.
