What the hell is the matter with Alonso? You can't hit the high fastball, and you keep swinging at it anyway?
Bullpen isn't the reason they lost last night. Not getting Marte home from 3rd with no outs in the first. Alonso not getting guys home with 2 outs in the bottom 5th. James McCANT being allowed to hit with RISP with 2 outs in the bottom 6th. Vogelbach grounding into a double play when Jake Reed can't find the strike zone ands his grip is going because of ran. Taijuan Walker walking Max Muncy and then hitting Joey Gallo.
That intro(Timmy trumpet) needs to be in the playoffs with those sold out games. It would be LOUD. Fun wrinkle to tonight's game. Great win. Dodgers/Braves NL seems loaded with special teams this year
Taking 2/3 vs this team is a great feeling. Also win the series 4-3. Now the schedule really opens up. We shouldn't lose a series from here on out until we face the Brewers
Scherzer left because of "fatigue" on his left side, whatever that means. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...-5-innings-67-pitches-vs-washington-nationals His leaving wasn't even the reason they lost, surprisingly enough, since the bullpen failures came in the 8th and 9th.
May out with COVID, more bad bullpen news. The Mets have brought up Bryce Montas de Oca from Syracuse; he hits 100 on the gun and averages 14.4 K/9IP, but he also averages 6.3 BB/9IP, resulting in a 1.42 WHIP. Pretty much in line with his appearance on Saturday (1 walk, 1 hit, 1 strikeout, in 2/3 of an inning). Carrasco on a pitch limit today.
