OT: Official 2021 NY Mets Season Thread

[Doctor Worm]

Enjoy yourself Doc. Hopefully you will bring us luck. Have a sausage sandwich for me.

Am with brother in law who is a Dodger fan. Not sure how much luck I will bring. Also going Sunday night.

 

[Doctor Worm]

Irish heritage night. Some nice step dancing now.

 

[FrankZ]

On the bright side, 2-7 with Baez in lineup, 3-0 without

For those of you complaining that the Mets should’ve went after Bryant, they tried but the Cubs didn’t want to send two players to one team:

 

[RUfinally2008]

Baez to IL. Blankenhorn up.

Am at game. Should be a big crowd.

Lol, unreal. Listening to Rojas today on pre-game interview, Baez was taking part in infield drills at game speed and could swing fine right handed. WTF happened?

 

[FrankZ]

Dodgers grind out ABs for an hour, while we get mowed down in seconds

Fortunately that is not how the game is scored. Time of possession is not a stat.

Then they should have prioritized Bryant over Baez.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Megill hasn't done bad holding L.A. to a manageable 3 runs. But the hitters have done nothing. I know I know so what else is new.

Then they should have prioritized Bryant over Baez.

And a bigger price than PCA would have been dealt. Baez was the right move given Lindor injury. Hope PCA doesn’t become anything. No offense to the young man. Lol.

Hate to say but the lineup for tonight’s game was awful. How the hell can you have Drury / Pillar and Almora starting? Mets begging to be shut out.

This is a case of someone thinking he is the smartest person in the room.

Dom got up and whiffed. McNeil is up know and looks lost as usual. Strikes out looking. Who else is there? Can deGrom pinch hit?

 

[RUforJERSEY]

😃As if it matters who was in the starting lineup. This is not the Nats pitching staff. Runs will be at a premium for us all weekend. At least Philly is also losing last I saw.

McNeil and Dom came through when it matter. 😁

I knew they would respond to the jinx. I fell asleep, and heard the TV get loud when Pete scored.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

That inning was something else. Only Conforto hit a ball hard and we got 4 runs out of it.

 

[shields]

Let's win this.

 

[Knight Shift]

Game over with Diaz in.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Always get a bad feeling when you walk the leadoff man.

 

[Knight Shift]

@Doctor Worm , find the guy with the green laser pointer.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

@Doctor Worm , find the guy with the green laser pointer.

Maybe its him.

 

[shields]

Nice prediction Knight Shift.

 

[Knight Shift]

Maybe its him.

He seems too classy for that.

 

[FrankZ]

Please score a run in bottom 9 somehow

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Let's do this in walk off fashion.

 

[Knight Shift]

Please score a run in bottom 9 somehow

They will not.

 

[Doctor Worm]

He seems too classy for that.

You are correct. Plus I am not that accurate.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I hope this works going with Familia rather than Loup. And Familia throwing for the 3rd straight day.

 

[shields]

Familia stinks.

 

[FrankZ]

Familia stinks.

Two more months and he will be done here

 

[tico brown]

It’s over

 

[FrankZ]

At least we’ll always have this

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Tough one to lose after getting back even. But there wasn't a whole of hitting after that 7th inning. Or really even in that 7th inning. Might be our best chance at a win in the series.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Great comeback. Here’s what annoys me: Jansen walks JD Davis. And then Villar and Nido swing at first pitches. Let Jansen get more tired - possibly walk - and /or wait for your pitch. Terrible approach by both of them.

 

[shields]

Should have known they would lose in extras as Cohen said Dodgers were 1-12 in extra inning games.

 

[RUhasarrived]

I was surprised that Alonso tagged up and went to third when his run meant nothing.However,it was his being on third that gave the Mets a chance. Had he remained on second,the chopper that followed may have been a step on third throw to first double play.
