Harvey should have been pulled after the walk on 4 pitches. Now there's every chance the bullpen can blow it.
well, that didn't work out very well and I agree, if you walk Gerald Laird on 4 pitches and you have a pitch count over 100, that should be an automatic hook. Same thing I was thinking when I saw it.
McCann coming in rather than Upton because they need McCann in the game anyway to catch (Laird appears to be hurt). Plus he's a lefty, so when the Mets went to Hawkins...
well, he did get an out before giving up the inevitable hit Wright playing very shallow this inning, led to a couple of hits
Wright with his third awful decision on a bouncer in this game (on one of them he overran the ball but was lucky enough to be able to glove it).
Terry Collins has bad players this is true but he's a bad manager. I've seen enough of him to think that a fair thing to say.
I though for sure that Collins was not going to put Parnell in for the 8th inning. I was shocked when he did.
It does look like Citi Field :lol: Good first start for Wheeler. They put 2 on the board. Let's see if he can get the W.
Well, certainly no one thought the Mets bullpen could protect a two-run lead for 3 innings, did they?
No chance they hold it. Even if they get out of the 7th. I imagine after the game Harvey will go to Wheeler, "better get use to it buddy."
Shocking developments in the top of the 8th - we might actually see that Harvey/Wheeler double header sweep.
Seaver and Koosman, er, Harvey and Wheeler with the double header sweep! Mets played three complete games in a 24 hour period, and should have won all three.
mets sweep a doubleheader in Atlanta of all places will the wonders never cease? The Braves announcers today were going over how the Braves own the Mets.
Two different batters diving into first base within 5 minutes of each other. How is it possible that major league players are incapable of understanding that simple physics proves that it is faster to run to a base than to dive to it?
