June 9, 20242 yr It's "step on a rake" games like this one that can bite you at the end of the season.
June 9, 20242 yr The fact Thomson still has Alvarado out there is embarrassing. He’s at 35 pitches and gotten 2 outs. At some point after he didn’t get the first 3 guys out you might have thought he doesn’t have it today let’s pull him. Nope here we are 35 pitches in and giving up 3 runs.
June 9, 20242 yr Yeesh - rough one for Alvarado. On a side note, the Mets have to have the biggest group of dorks. Alonso, McNeil, Nimmo - bunch of weirdo dorks.

He’s part of the issue cause he was not good with his command and stuff today. But Thomson sitting there letting him throw 35 pitches is just stupid. You saw he didn’t have it after 2 batters and even after the 3rd it was still tied. Pull him then and don’t let it snowball into an avalanche. Instead it took him 35 pitches to get two outs and find yourself down 2. As a manager, you have to see that Alvarado just doesn’t have it today (against the bottom of the Mets lineup) and yet he let him throw nearly 40 pitches.
June 9, 20242 yr Is it bad I’m really hoping casty pulls a Roger dorn and gets hit by pitch to bring the runner home?
June 9, 20242 yr I’m really happy that the Mets - who are 16.5 games back of us - got the big win today.
June 9, 20242 yr Not a reason they lost today but realmuto has been brutal this year with RISP. He’s worse this year with RISP than he was last year. He’s hitting .178 as opposed to 2023 where he hit .205. To his credit he’s hitting .321 with no one on which is an increase from .267 last year.
June 9, 20242 yr You can't win every game but does it seems like the last 5 to 7 losses, the Phillies gave those games away? Not like they were beaten?
June 9, 20242 yr It happens but always sucks to blow a lead in the 9th. Back on the horse on Tuesday.
June 9, 20242 yr Nats are destroying the Braves. I think the Nats are 5-2 vs. Atlanta this year and if they win would be 6-2

June 9, 20242 yr So I wasn't expecting a win because it was a Walker start. However, when you're up 3-0 and then 4-3 in the 7th, you need to win the game, especially against a scrub team like the Mets. Thomson's decision to put Soto into the game instead of Strahm doesn't make me feel any better about our Manager when it comes to postseason decision making. Soto should only be put into games when they are up 10 runs or down 10 runs.

Soto should only be put into games when they are up 10 runs or down 10 runs. I mentioned this during the game, he still has an option left. He really should be optioned to the minors and let him work out his crap in the minors like they did with Alvarado. this has been going on since the beginning of last year. He’s solid for two or three appearances and then right after bad two or three appearances. It’s been consistently that way. He has the stuff to be really good, but he clearly isn’t figuring it out. If this was like Dominguez, who has seemingly had the lightbulb go off, then I’d be like you know what he’s making progress. But he’s getting worse and he’s been worse than he was last year. So send him down there and let him figure crap out down there because he’s not helping you right now .
