Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Game #25 and the Mets have now been hit TWENTY-TWO fvckING TIMES by pitches. Insane... A little smallball in the first inning...made Morton work, to the tune of 34 pitches. Hopefully the offense doesn't die in this game. Peterson over 40 pitches through two innings...this might turn into a bullpen game in a hurry. Feels like the Mets aren't doing quite enough damage against Morton, despite scoring four runs...Morton now up to 56 pitches through his two innings.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Well this 100% had the feel of a loss in the making…except the bullpen flat-out refused to follow the script. Hell of a job by all three of them today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Lindor’s bat has really disappeared over his last 8 GP. Really hope he’s not reverting to last year’s form. Nice hit by Dom there to drive in a pair. Edited May 3, 2022 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Wow. Serious kudos to this team today. The Mets of the past would’ve saw this team find a way to lose Game 1 (after a painful loss last night) and would’ve seen the Braves start to get on a roll. Instead they’ve managed to shake last night off completely. And the Braves are back to trying to get something going again. Amazing what can happen when a REAL manager is in charge. And loved Max getting on the ump and getting tossed. Guy brings a certain intensity that is infectious.

NJDevs4978 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Damn Carrasco really went eight shutout innings? All credit to him for rebounding this year after it looked like he was breaking down in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Lindor with a .372 OPS over his last 9 GP. That’s as bad as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Yesterday was a statement day. Coming off a rotten loss, the Mets absolutely snuffed the Braves offense out and asserted themselves as the best team in the NL East. When you have that kind of effort from the normally sketchy Carrasco...you have to be happy. Still would like to see more out of the offense, but offenses everywhere are pretty depressed.

What's scary is that the Met offense overall is one of the most productive ones out there at the moment. Only four teams are batting .250 or better at the moment (Mets are second in team BA entering today, at .257). Gives you an idea what it's like watching many of the other teams right now, in a league batting .232 overall (down 12 points from last year's .244).

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Well that's the bad part of Ottavino's game...he will walk guys, always has...not sure if he's the best choice to go to with the bases loaded. And I get the feeling with Ottavino, he can be really good or really bad. Didn't have it today. One of those games that just got away from the Mets in a hurry. Oh well...at least they can't do any worse than a split. 7-0-1 over their first 8 series and an 18-9 record...we were all signing up for that going in.

Never know exactly what you're going to get from him any given day...his main issue is that he's not nearly the hit suppressor he once was. He can strike out the side on a good day, but most of the time he's giving up a lot of baserunners...his WHIP since the start of 2019 coming into today's game was 1.401. That's a guy who has busy basepaths around him. Lindor down to .245...starting to feel like his hot start was indeed a mirage. Man I hope not.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Mets had their chance to start to get back into this thing, but Guillorme struck out. Trevor Williams is clearly the sacrificial lamb today. First real blowout loss this season for the Mets IIRC. Oh well, shake it off, take the split, that's that. And it looks like Lindor is going to go hitless for this series. You're still on probation here pal...last year is still plenty fresh in our memories.

'7' Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 In Scherzers last 18 regular season starts, his team is 18-0. In his last 15 regular season games where he got a win or loss decision...15-0 God I hope I didn't jinx him or the team. But Scherzers last regular season loss was May 30th, 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
