This is a bad game for the bullpen (obviously), and not such a good one for Showalter, either (not having McNeil run on contact with a man on third and one out in the top of the 10th). They get a break with Marte beating out the two-out grounder on the overturned call to bring in the go-ahead run, but who in the bullpen will hold the lead?
Five series played, five series won. Sure can't complain about that. The starting pitching continues to shine.
Another series win. Good stuff!!! Lindos has 12 RBIs already, his 12th RBI last year didn't come until June 1.
Quite the miracle comeback with 5 unearned runs in the top of the 9th to move the team to 13-5. Brilliant start for Scherzer, too.
Jacob deGrom's MRI and CT scan revealed "considerable healing of the stress reaction on his scapula," Mets say. He has been cleared to begin loading and strengthening his shoulder and will be "re-imaged in approximately three weeks."— Deesha (@DeeshaThosar) April 26, 2022 Good news for deGrom last night. The season has been amazing so far and I don't know how much better it would be with Jake on the mound so hopefully we ease him back. There is no reason to rush him back. The staff has been incredible.
And here we go - Mets with a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the 9th, Diaz comes in, and walks the first batter on four pitches.
Diaz recovers, and the Mets win 3-0. More great pitching. Mets win their first six series of the season for the first time in team history, and move to 14-5. Go for the sweep tomorrow afternoon against Matz.
Lots of talk in the Mets' postgame clubhouse about the continued trend of hit batsmen. Chris Bassitt complained about the inconsistency of game balls for pitchers. Starling Marte added that "it has to stop" and if the HBPs continue, "we're going to have to do something about it."— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) April 27, 2022 Shouldn’t have messed around with the balls in the first place. They tinkers with the Equipment and rules on a whim to their own detriment. Now they are in a situation where players are going to keep complaining about it and god for bid someone get’s seriously hurt the finger is gonna be pointed at them!
Go for the kill shot today and sweep em! Didn't think we had any shot to win this series but we already did that. Now finish it for the 3-0
This is the greatest play in baseball history. pic.twitter.com/QuRSUn2Zq7— Fuzzy (@fuzzyfromyt) April 27, 2022 Didn't feel like this was worth its own thread and I figured I would share here lmao. There would be so many things broken in my house if this happened to us
