Mets Regular Season thread

Another shutout, how many does that make? 8?

 

5 double headers in a row where we have won the first and lost the second.

Serious chance to put some distance between us and the Phils/Nats this weekend. We have the Pirates and they get the Giants and Red Sox.

 

I'm not an engineer so I don't know if structurally if a retractable roof can be put on after the fact. If so, I'll start a gofundme to chip in.

 

Another chance of a split on Saturday, I'm afraid.

 

Walker falling apart in the second inning, and then suddenly recovers to only give up one run.

 

Pretty stupid managing by the Pittsburgh manager - he shouldn't have kept Brubaker in to pitch to Smith, and he certainly shouldn't have kept him in to face Alonso. That's how a 2-2 tie becomes a 6-2 deficit.

 

On the other hand, if you have no relievers who can get anyone out, I guess it doesn't really matter. Lindor with the grand slam and it's 12-2.

 

Villar with a 437 foot bomb for his second home run, this time righthanded rather than lefthanded. 13-3.

 

Rain delay.

 

41 minute rain delay and we're back.

 

And it's over.

 

Congrats

 

Nice for him - glad they did what made the most sense. I'll bet if that second inning yesterday had spun out of control like it looked like it might, they would have picked someone else.

 

Nimmo goes over the wall and brings back a home run to end the top of the first.

 

No way I give Stroman big $. He's a 3 at best.

 

This has probably been beaten to death already but the Mets really need to stop using Diaz in non-save situations.

 

The smile on his face was awesome. He's such a good kid to root for.

 

Castro makes me nervous.

 

Why leave him in for a 2nd inning?

 

Terrible loss.
