Not only did we lose…..we were boring losing.<\/p>\n
It is hard to stay interested in a game where we only six hits (five singles and a double), spread out across the nine innings. Nolan McLean was very good in the starting role for the Mets, but we should have been able to get something off<\/p>\n
Luis Ur\u00edas had two hits, and really seemed to be the one batter that was doing well. Varsho had our only extra base hit, a double (he also almost beat out an infield hit in the ninth). Springer, Kirk and Pinango had the other singles.<\/p>\n
Beyond that…..Bo Bichette had an amazing day defensively at third base. We had him miscast as a shortstop (at least by his play today. He is a +2 OAA at third this year, and a -2 at short. I never thought he had the range for short, but he definitely had the arm for third. At least today. With the bat, he was 1 for 4.<\/p>\n
Other than that, Kevin Gausman, after two poor starts, was excellent. 6 innings, 5 hits, 1 earned, 2 walks and 7 strikeouts. The run against was a Francisco Alvarez fifth inning home run.<\/p>\n
The Mets got another home run off Mason Fluharty by Luis Torrens.<\/p>\n
And one more in the ninth. Tommy Nance gave up a single to A.J. Ewing (JR and Bobby\u2019s brother who didn\u2019t make it into the show). An error by Sean Keys on a pick off, moved him to second. A ground out moved him to third. And a sac fly scored him.<\/p>\n
Jay of the Day: Gausman (0.18 WPA, he really was terrific).<\/p>\n
Other Awards: Lukes (-0.12, for an 0 for 4, k), Keys (-0.11, plus the error, 0 for 4, 2 k), Gimenez (-0.10, 0 for 3, k and a rather poor bunt single attempt) and Fluharty (-0.09).<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we have a day game. 3:00 Eastern. It is bullpen day for the Jays, Braydon Fisher will be the opener. Freddy Peralta (5-6, 4.53) starts for the Mets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not only did we lose…..we were boring losing.
