Everyone saying what a gritty win this was…uhhh…nah. We still won because of dingers. A win is a win but make no mistake, we blow. We stranded the bases loaded. Fam was wild a fuck. Thor vs. a guy making his damn debut?! We should’ve won that game by 10 runs. Not 10 innings. It’s a mess.
Ron Darling: “The Mets lead the league in home runs and have superb pitching. They should be blowing teams out regularly.”
Amen, Ronnie. Mets blow. Good thing Thor took matters into his own hands with that double. Also let us bless Loney and his sacrifice bunt. Amazin’! Situational hitting woooooow.
4 games in Milwaukee following this “feel good” win. So let’s fucking go.
I’m not even gonna really talk about it because it was so boring and also because I’m supposed to be at work.
But really quick, Niese mowed us down. Elite pitchers like Kershaw, MadBum, Jose, and Jon Niese really can’t be stopped, huh?
More importantly, we lost both games of a doubleheader 3-1. Our pitching has let up about 2.3 runs/game this week and we’ve lost every time.
Is this worse than 2015? Because in 2015, I didn’t expect much hitting. Call everyone up! Where’s Dilson?
In Game 2, the Pirates got two runs on a groundout and an infield single. The Mets haven’t gotten one run that way all fucking season! Fire Kevin Long? Fire Terry? This isn’t fucking soccer, people!!
Hey, we won the series, right? Harvey pitched well, right?
Fuuuuuck that. We got blanked. Ks on Ks on Ks. I don’t care if it’s Jose or Clayton or Madison. We can’t stop getting shut the fuck out. I should’ve bet a billy but I can’t bring myself to bet against them. What a toxic love. Watch this hangover last a week. Can we at least shake it the fuck off one time?! Shouldn’t be too tough to bounce back against Jon Niese. But he’s a lefty so we’re doomed.
P.S. Walker hit quite the Piazza-off-Mo fly out to center, there. So close. I voted for him to make the ASG.
Pray for Asdrubal. Pray for Juanny. At least Lonestar looks like he’s got that big schwartz. Pray for him, too.
Now let’s look at a couple of things Collins did wrong today:
ROBLES!? Really!? In a tie game!?
Plawecki?! Choooof. Plawecki has responded to the rising tide of Rivera by completely caving. He’s making mental mistakes (he didn’t know he could make a force out today–that’s unreal bush) as well as batting worse than ever.
Obviously, bringing in Familia in a save situation was the right move. I don’t know why Familia is having so much trouble but with a 3-run lead, he let up only(?) 1 and so it’s good enough. He’s gotta work through it.
Harvey Day tomorrow. Up against Fernandez (the best pitcher in the league right now). SO BIG!
He changes the whole damn lineup. He puts fear in the opposing pitcher’s heart. It’s all Yo and we all know this. When he’s dangerous, so is everyone else. Stick Conforto back in the 3-hole and let’s see him feast again.
Not to mention Thor gettin it done for us. Nice rebound from the ejection game.
Rivera should catch every day. Everyone’s thinking it.
Metsblow.
Whooooooo-wheeeeee what a stinker! You blew it Jacob! That solo dingdong to Frazier. Don’t you know if you let up more than zero runs, you can’t get a W?
What a black hole lineup without Cespedes woooow. 13 walks? 1 run? Woooooow. Against the beleaguered, poopoo pen of the White Sox?
This 2-4 homestand was as frustrating as any stretch has ever been. The umps played a part in making this an all-around disgrace, but losing games that you should win is soooooo pussssaaaaayyy.
Thankfully, the Mets can leave town for a while and find their groove. Get mean. Get vengeance for the ejection and the B.S. The bias is long proven and you have to deal with it. They don’t want to see you be kings! Hit the damn ball. We’re playing short-handed for fucks sake. DL Wright and bring up…Soup?…Metsblow.
On a night where Soup got demoted and the Jewpons got even MORE RELIEF from the government for their heinous thievery, we still managed to have a terrible day.
This might’ve been the worst loss of the season. Granted, a little of it is on Matz. Matz was absolutely cruising, and then all of a sudden he lost it. The game kind of washed over everyone. The White Sox have enough hitting that you can’t sleep on them.
Thor in relief was fun. Ronnie thought 1 inning was enough so I buy that. But Captain Shitty Hook really did a number on us. I’m not even mad at Robles. It’s all on Terry. How the fuck can you bring in Robles in a 1-run game!? He lets up a dinger per inning. He needs time in the minors or something. I like the kid but he needs to work some issues out. You could’ve even brought in Bastardo there. Bring in anyone but Robles in a 1 run game. That’s where he’s at right now and everyone knows it but you, Terry. Reed and Fam both unavailable? Give me a fucking break. It’s a 1 run game.
You just can’t blow 4 run leads and claim you have good pitching. We have to be better than that. That loss happened so quickly. It was 4-0 Mets and then wham bam we lose. The thing is that we DO have better pitching than that. Collins really pushed the wrong buttons.
deGrom in the rubber game today. Boy, if Harvey is back (praaaay), then our rotation really is fucking filthy. Like how we imagined it would be during preseason. This should’ve been a sweep but I’m confident in our ability to win each and every series with our horses. Meanwhile, we are near the very bottom of the league (25th) in runs scored. We’d be in dead last if not for Yo. Christ, we blow.
