Nice win last night against a good pitcher. Two Alcantara games in the next week are going to be tough. 27 games left until All Star break. Hoping for Scherzer back before then.Fun game tonight. Lindor and Pete getting homers and lindor looking good in the field. The ball going into the outfield padding originally called out then overruled was something I hadn't seen before. Thought it should have been called ground rule double as the ball went into the "stands". Cookie now with 8 wins--looking like comeback player of the year.
With blowout going on, loved Keith and Ron going gaga over the packs of baseball cards. Loved the gum that they no longer have. How many pumpsie Green's did you get?
Keep plugging away like this till the all star break and the second half could be really specialI'll gladly take our steady pace of winning 2 of 3 games over massive winning and losing streaks.
Remember, the Mets are winning WITHOUT their two Cy Young caliber pitchers.
Have faith.
It hard I know. But we're a good baseball team.
Not quite. This is a 4 game series with a wrap around game Monday! We need one more!Another series win against the Marlins.
Think of hitters facing Diaz at 100 MPH not knowing where the ball is going. Reminds me of old Yankee Ryan Duren who was closer and had glasses with bottle thick lens. He'd come in and in warming up he always through a top speed one ove the head of catcher into the backstop to scare batter.Good win last night. Diaz always scares me. He throws so hard that you never know where the ball is going!
We have 11 games with the Marlins all together in the next couple of weeks. I wish that we could play them, or the Nats, for the rest of the year!!!
I wish the Mets had deGrom and Scherzer.Can't win them all. I wish we had Alcantra. He's a darn good pitcher.
