Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4645968, member: 27"] So Max dropped his appeal so that he can return as soon as possible. 10 games right now is brutal. You expect a veteran to be smarter. Hopefully he learns from this. Despite all the bad things happening, the Mets continue to win. Senga was very good for 4 innings and lost it in the fifth. That seems to be a pattern for him. Really hoping to see some Mets starters past 6 innings soon. Raley, Curtiss, Smith and Brigham all had to pitch an inning and will likely not be available today. On the positive side, none gave up a run. Nimmo remains red hot. Squirrel is heating up now too. Polar Bear got another homer and continues to lead MLB in HRs. Might be having his best year. Sure hope so. Escobar got the start with the Giants using a lefty. He got two hits and one was an HR. Good for him. Nido went 0-4 and is really lost at the plate. Had a great spring. Disappointed. Alvarez looks more comfortable every day. Hoping he breaks out soon. Another missed day for Marte, who hurt his neck sliding into Segura and has not been the same since. Hope he returns to play soon. Nice that Squirrel can fill in there and we have Guillorme to slot into 2B but we need Starling back. Mentioned I thought Butto would pitch the game today. It is going to be Lucchesi instead. The reason is because of who the Mets are playing. The Giants have been very good against righties and Awful against lefties so far. Check out this excerpt from the following well written preview of this series. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/.amp/news/series-preview-sf-giants-ny-mets-jd-davis-darin-ruf-max-scherzer[/URL] [I]San Francisco's otherworldly platoon splits continue; they're second in OPS against right-handers as a team, second-worst against lefties[/I] So the Mets went with the stats and bet on Joey, who has been pitching pretty well for Syracuse. I think we throw another lefty at them tomorrow with Peterson. And then Megill on Sunday before we get a badly needed day off to travel back to New York. Hope Joey can get through 5 innings. Then need some combo of Uceta, Hunter and Yacabonis to get us to the 8th, when Ottovino and Robertson will presumably finish up. Amazing given all that had gone wrong, this team is 13-7. [/QUOTE]
