I'm getting good and tired of asking Rpdriquez to stand up and make a decent contribution on the mound so I will let you do that. Stroman can be tough and I'm always afraid that after a four or five game winning streak our team and Cora decide to take a snooze. This is no time for that to happen again. Stand up, be counted and get the jo b done tonight. The Mets are still a dangerous team.

Interesting to look at the outcomes this year. The Mets went for big ticket items like Lindor and T Walker. The Sox went for bargains to fill some slots, yet had a really good year. Off course Mets had the injury bug again.

Sox announce Whitlock will go on the IL. He will only be available for the last four games on the schedule if he is healthy by then.

Sounds like they just didn't want to go with an empty roster spot even though they think he'll be fine before the 10 days. Brasier called back up.

I also heard Arroyo is back, Lopez going down to make room.

Some pitiful at-bats tonight.

E Rod is once more his enigmatic self. Suddenly he walks three and falls apart. He doesn't get out of the 5th.

The blown bases-load, no-outs situation the inning before got to him. They could have given him a cushion and they blew it.

But at least they're hitting now.

Our old pal, Hembree. Thought he looked familiar.

markj · September 21, 2021, 09:20:08 PM

Ah, the NESN jinx. Post a stat about how well a reliever is doing and *boom*, home run.

markj · September 21, 2021, 09:40:59 PM

Not sure why Cora decided to pull Richards. Seemed he was well in control.

markj · September 21, 2021, 09:49:20 PM

That's it. Six in a row. Very nice.

It gets old with him Nick but the team persevered and came back and won a big game tonight. And what do you know????? Bogaerts is finally driving in runs, eight in the last two games. Couldn't come at a better time. We must continue to play well and pick each other up. A good way to turn in but we have another challenge tomorrow and we must do everything to prevail and not let the Mets be spoilers at our expense.
