Yesterday was a lot of fun at the ballpark (although Citi Field needs to upgrade stadium staff). I knew the Mets were going to win when Nimmo led off with a HBP. HBP is the new walk. Anyway, watching the Mets score 10 runs was delightful. Bring on Philly - the Mets are ready.
A shame that the last CBA was such a total failure in terms of real change. In the NL this year, I count a total of six teams actively trying for . . . six playoff spots. The Brewers traded away their closer. There have always been huge gaps between the best and worst teams, but never in my recollection have so many teams been punting the entire season. There is a point where the overall product suffers. I didn't see a single Reds pitcher who looked impressive. Not one. It's a little better in the AL.
What did you think was behind having Lugo go back-to-back games yesterday? It completely surprised me, especially with the game well in hand. I figured it was either Buck pushing him out of his confort zone . . . or the Mets, along with Lugo's consent, trying to get him accustomed to more strenuous use?
Reds aren't good but they had been playing about .500 baseball for the past 2 1/2 months before this series (admittedly pre trade deadline before they dealt away most of their key players) - Mets completely took care of business all after a pretty emotional series against Atlanta; pretty impressive
Two more hard-fought weeks. 13 games in 12 days vs. top-shelf competition. September schedule is a breeze. Mets can go .500 for next 2 weeks and roll into the playoffs with a first round bye. Just need to stay on point, and stay healthy, through this tough period: Phils (7), Braves (4), Yankees (2).
I thought Walker looked . . . okay. Hard to tell against that lineup.
