Mets Game 90: Win Over Braves
Mets 8 Braves 3
Mets lambast Braves, and well on their way toward sweeping the series and making a big run for the postseason.
Mets Game Notes
I have to admit that work prevented me from seeing all but the final six outs of the ballgame, so you’ll have to fill me in on all the good stuff. But I have a funny feeling that one day, late in September or early October, we’ll be looking back at this series as the turning point in the Mets season — the series when the magic returned, they became amazin’ again, and stormed their way into the postseason.
Or not. We’ll find out eventually.
By the way, there’s a good chance I don’t write any post-game recaps until after the All-Star Exhibition, as my job is my priority right now and I’m busy first with a national sales meeting and then a business trip. However I will try to post something somewhat relevant, if not brief recaps. I appreciate your patience and even more appreciate your filling in the gaps in my semi-absence.
Next Mets Game
Mets and Braves do it again on Wednesday at 7:10 PM. Dillon Gee takes the hill against Ervin Santana.
deGrom certainly was impressive, especially on the back end of consecutive starts against the same team, which is usually challenging. Looking at his body of work since being called up, and not just at last night, I may rank him ahead of Wheeler on the depth chart. Wheeler may flash more electric stuff at times, but he is still quite wild and inconsistent. deGrom impresses with his mound presence and execution of gameplan. He sure looks like he knows how to pitch, and can ratchet it up when needed. That is a great combo at his age. And, he can handle the stick too. Looks like a keeper to me.
Apparently, OQ is now a pitcher?
Spoiler below!
OQ = Omar Quintanilla
