Mets 2024 Season

[sjc88]

Weird that they put this opposite an NFL game. Not a Giants or Bengals fan but just bad timing that NY teams involved at the exact same time.

Senga struggling with command early. Hopefully dodgers don’t blow this open here

Not even close enough to be called struggling.

Well they played with fire going with Senga and got burnt, second guessing, hindsight, whatever, bad choice.

 

[Jack Williams]

Senga should be done after this inning. Complete mess

 

[sjc88]

Well, I understand what they were trying to do but it’s just a bad decision.

Trying to bring someone back like this is not working. Two games, 3 first inning runs.

What bothers me is they had the option to set the rotation pretty much however they wanted for this series. Not sure why the insistence in using Senga either time to be honest.

 

[Jack Williams]

Senga back out there for the 2nd he throws three straight balls. He needs to be pulled this is ridiculous

 

[sjc88]

Ok that’s 4 walks. I’ve seen enough.

Mendoza punting Game 1 of the NLCS is not exactly what I had in mind. What are we doing here?

 

[Jack Williams]

Basically just punted on game 1

Hard to understand the Mets thinking starting him but sending him out for the 2nd made no sense at all.

A bunt. Be still my heart. Maybe the Dodgers have a different analytics nerd or they like to score more runs to put pressure on the opposition. Who knew?

What they are doing is pissing away game 1 AND overworking the bullpen for good measure. Dumb to say the least.

 

[Jack Williams]

Senga a disaster. Flaherty perfect his first time through the order.

3-0 isn’t insurmountable but man does this one feel bleak already

 

[sjc88]

Now Jack freaking Flaherty looks like Walter Johnson.

 

[logen]

Alvarez with a good at bat and then K’s on a pitch 6 inches outside which has become all too familiar. I like him but he really has to learn the strike zone because the word is obviously out he is more than willing to get himself out.

 

[Jack Williams]

Let’s see if the offense can put something together and turn this into a game. Peterson in now so if we can level this game at 3 somehow we could get the car back into neutral

 

[Jack Williams]

Maybe I’m nitpicking here, but Flaherty comes out for this inning. walks Lindor on 4 pitches. Then throws a ball to Vientos. 5 straight balls. But yet Vientos bails him out by swinging at a pitch below the strike zone. Trying to get back into a game. Dont gift them outs

Then takes strike 3 on a pitch way too close to take.

You are not nitpicking. However, “take a strike” when a pitcher is struggling doesn’t align with the “new” thinking. You are spot on. Why help out the pitcher?
