NY Mets. May 2018.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

No Familia sighting as of yet.

So naturally Lugo issues a leadoff walk.

Uggghhh

That's not cool, dude.

 

[tabascojet]

pitchers are too coddled nowdays......manager didnt trust familia to close both games

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And the Braves walk off on a 1 out PH 2 run HR.
4-3 final.

Total mets awesomeness continues onward...and downward.

Charlie Culberson hits walk-off homer vs. Mets

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets bounce back to win the nightcap 8-5.

After nearly 2 hrs I gave up waiting to watch this one before the 1st pitch was even thrown that eventually turned into a 3 hour rain delay for the 2nd game...and focused instead on watching the warriors/rockets game 7...which was amazing.

The Goods:
Mets rally in Game 2 to split doubleheader

Alderson one one helluva an off season

Vargas - God awful for the 2nd half of last year and picked up right where he left off.

Bruce - Seemed a reasonable signing but he's been beyond terrible.

Frazier - Solid guy but hurt.

The reliever whose name I can't spell has been hurt which for a guy his age is to be expected.

Bring on Omar

1. I agree on Vargas...he's pathetic.
2. Bruce has pretty much always been a better 2nd half player stat wise.
3. Frazier will be back soon hopefully. Hamstring injuries can be problematic & linger.
4. If you're thinking of Swarzak...he's only 32.
5. Fuck Omar.


LGM!
YGB!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Thor to the DL.

Syndergaard latest Mets star headed to DL

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead 4-0. Rbi double by Bautista in the 1st...2 run HR by Cabrera in the 3rd and a solo blast by Gonzalez in the 4th.

Matz was cruising along then suddenly in the bottom 4th something wasn't right with his pitching hand. The trainer came out for a look, so Callaway removed him and summoned Sewald from the pen...who just allowed a leadoff double and a 1 out rbi single...and now another double.
It's a 4-1 game, 2nd & 3rd with only 1 out....
.....then a 2 out walk to load the bases.

WTF!!!

I wouldn't be shocked if Albies clears them all here...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeeesh...

A passed ball brings in a run.

It's 4-2 Mets...end of 4.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cabrera with a solo bomb make it 5-2 Mets in the 5th.
Sewald tosses a 1-2-3 bottom frame.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nimmo strokes an rbi double to RF scoring Rosario who singled.

Blevins tosses a sold inning of relief.

Mets leading 6-2 after 6.


edit:
Metsies go down quickly 1-2-3 in the 7th.

Stretch time.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Blevins allows a 2 out single and an rbi double to make it a 6-3 game.

Rhame relieving Blevins....threw 1 pitch and got that 3rd out.

Onto the 8th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hahahaha I stepped away to cook some dinner and came back to a meltdown.

Typical Callaway/Mets waiting till the late innings to give away the lead and another winnable game in the process.

Rhame loads the bases...still no outs.

This surely will not end well.

Game tied, 2 outs.

LMFAO.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Some dude just called up named gerson bautista gave up the walkoff HR.

Mets lose 7-6

Nice job, Callaway.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mickey Callaway Giveaway was allegedly the pitching coach with the Cleveland Indians when?... and for how long??

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Cursed is putting it mildly....

Another excruciating day for a Mets team that seems downright cursed.

Johan Camargo homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday night to give Atlanta a 7-6 win over the Mets, who squandered a pair of four-run leads and lost two more pitchers to injuries.

Before the game, the Mets placed Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list with a strained ligament in his right index finger. Then, in an almost surreal development, fellow starter Steven Matz had to leave with discomfort in his left middle finger after throwing three scoreless innings while New York built a 4-0 lead .

Matz said he hurt his finger in the top of the fourth, when the bat flew out of his hand on a swing. He wound up doubling in that at-bat, but began to feel some pain in his finger while standing on second base. It didn't improve when he went back to the mound.

"It's real unfortunate," Matz said. "I know the bullpen has really been working their tails off, throwing a lot of innings. I was feeling really crisp out there. It's just frustrating. It really is. But there's nothing you can do."

X-rays were negative, but it's not known if the injury might affect Matz's next scheduled start.

The Mets were up 6-3 after 7 when the Braves rallied for 3 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th.

and if that wasn't bad enough......

With Syndergaard out, struggling LHP Jason Vargas is moving up a day to start Wednesday's series finale. Vargas threw only 67 pitches in his last outing Saturday, so the Mets decided to give him another shot on just three days of rest. He is 1-3 with a 10.62 ERA in five starts, having allowed 34 hits, six homers and 10 walks in 20 1/3 innings.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Schoenfield sums it up....

Real or not? Bad days for Mets are worse than bad days for others

3. Frazier will be back soon hopefully. Hamstring injuries can be problematic & linger.

YGB!

I was thinking about Swarzak. 32 can be old depending on the amount of innings on someones arm. I actually liked the signing but I'm not paid to figure these things out

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

5/30.

Mets miserable month of May almost over....
